Accessing the battery
Starting using another
battery
If the vehicle's battery is flat, the engine can be
started using a backup battery (either external or
from another vehicle) and jump leads or using a
battery booster.
12 V battery
The battery is located under the bonnet.
Procedure for starting the engine using another
battery or for charging a discharged battery.
Lead-acid starter batteries
These batteries contain harmful
substances (sulphuric acid and lead).
They must be disposed of in accordance
with regulations and must never under any
circumstances be discarded with household
waste.
Never start the engine by connecting a
battery charger.
Never use a 24 V or higher battery booster.
Check beforehand that the backup battery
has a nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity
at least equal to that of the discharged
battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact with
each other.
Switch off all electricity-consuming equipment
on both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are well away
from the engine’s moving parts (fan, belt,
etc.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while the
engine is running.
Take used remote control batteries and
vehicle batteries to a special collection point.
For access to the (+) terminal:
► Release the bonnet by pulling the internal
release lever, then the external safety catch.
► Raise the bonnet.
(+) Positive terminal.
This terminal has a quick-release clamp.
(-) Negative terminal.
As the battery's negative terminal is not
accessible, a remote earth point is located near
the battery.
Protect your eyes and face before
handling the battery.
All operations on the battery must be carried
out in a well ventilated area and away from
naked flames and sources of sparks, to avoid
any risk of explosion or fire.
Wash your hands afterwards.
206
In the event of a breakdown
► Refit the plastic cover to the (+) terminal, if
the vehicle has one.
► Allow the engine to run for at least
30 minutes, with the vehicle stationary, so that
the battery reaches an adequate state of charge.
Follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the charger.
Never reverse polarities.
8
It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery.
Driving immediately without having
reached a sufficient level of charge may
affect some of the vehicle's functionalities.
► Switch the ignition off.
► Switch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, lighting, wipers, etc.).
Automatic gearbox
Never try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.
► Lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal, if the
vehicle has one.
► Connect the red cable to the (+) terminal of
flat battery A (at the metal elbow), then to the
(+) terminal of the backup battery B or of the
booster.
► Connect one end of the green or black cable
to the (-) terminal of the backup battery B or of
the booster (or to an earth point on the assisting
vehicle).
► Connect the other end of the green or black
cable to the earth point C.
► Start the engine on the assisting vehicle and
leave it running for a few minutes.
► Operate the starter on the broken down
vehicle and let the engine run.
Charging the battery using a
battery charger
For optimum service life of the battery, it is
essential to maintain an adequate state of
charge.
In some circumstances, it may be necessary to
charge the battery:
– When using the vehicle mainly for short
journeys.
– If the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
several weeks.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
► Switch off charger B before connecting
the cables to the battery, so as to avoid any
dangerous sparks.
► Ensure that the charger cables are in good
condition.
► Lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal, if the
vehicle has one.
► Connect the cables of charger B as follows:
• the positive (+) red cable to the (+) terminal
of battery A,
If the engine does not start immediately, switch
off the ignition and wait a few moments before
trying again.
► Wait for it to return to idle.
► Disconnect the jump leads in reverse order.
To charge the vehicle's battery yourself,
use only a charger compatible with
lead-acid batteries with a nominal voltage of
12 V.
• the negative (-) black cable to earth point C
on the vehicle.
207
In the event of a breakdown
► At the end of the charging operation, switch
off charger B before disconnecting the cables
from battery A.
Before disconnecting the battery:
► Close all openings (doors, boot, windows,
roof).
Reconnecting the (+) terminal
► Switch off all electricity-consuming devices
(audio system, wipers, lamps, etc.).
► Switch off the ignition and wait for 4 minutes.
After accessing the battery, it is only necessary
to disconnect the (+) terminal.
If this label is present, use only a 12 V
charger to avoid causing irreversible
damage to the electrical components.
24V
Quick-release terminal clamp
Disconnecting the (+) terminal
12V
► Raise lever A fully.
► Refit open clamp B on the (+) terminal.
► Push clamp B fully down.
Never try to charge a frozen battery - risk
of explosion!
► Lower lever A to lock clamp B.
► Depending on equipment, lower the plastic
cover on the (+) terminal.
If the battery has frozen, have it checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or by a qualified workshop
who will verify that the internal components
have not been damaged and that the case
has not cracked, which would mean a risk of
toxic and corrosive acid leaking.
Do not force the lever, as it will not lock
in place if the clamp is not positioned
correctly; start the procedure again.
► Depending on equipment, lift the plastic cover
on the (+) terminal.
► Raise lever A fully to release clamp B.
► Remove clamp B by lifting it off.
Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.
Following reconnection
After reconnecting the battery, turn on the
ignition and wait 1 minute before starting the
engine, to enable the electronic systems to
initialise.
Disconnecting the battery
In order to maintain an adequate state of
charge for starting the engine, we recommend
disconnecting the battery if the vehicle is to be
unused for an extended period.
For right-hand drive versions, when the
total distance recorder has reached
62 miles (100 km), you must wait

this operation, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the relevant section, reinitialise
certain equipment:
– Remote control key or electronic key
(depending on version).
– Sunroof and electric blind.
– Electric windows.
The front battery is located under the bonnet.
The batteries contain harmful
substances (sulphuric acid and lead).
They must be disposed of in accordance
with regulations and must never under any
circumstances be discarded with household
waste.
– Date and time.
– Preset radio stations.
Take used remote control batteries and
vehicle batteries to a special collection point.
After reconnecting the battery, the
message "Collision risk detection
system fault" is displayed on the instrument
panel when the ignition is switched on. This
operation is perfectly normal. The message
will disappear while driving.
For access to the (+) terminal:
► Release the bonnet by pulling the internal
release lever, then the external safety catch.
► Raise the bonnet.
(+) Positive terminal with a quick-release
terminal.
Protect your eyes and face before
handling batteries.
All operations on the batteries must be carried
out in a well ventilated area and away from
naked flames and sources of sparks, so as to
avoid the risk of explosion or fire.
Wash your hands afterwards.
For the replacement of batteries, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
(-) Negative terminal.
The Stop & Start system may not be
operational during the trip following the
first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be available
again after a continuous period with the
vehicle immobilised, the duration of which
depends on the exterior temperature and the
state of charge of the battery (up to about 8
hours).
As the battery's negative terminal is not
accessible, a remote earth point is located near
the battery.
Rear
Do not start or jump start another vehicle
from the vehicle’s batteries.
The rear battery is located in the boot.
