Practical information

12 V battery

Procedure for starting the engine using another

battery or charging a discharged battery.

Access to the battery

The presence of this label, in particular with the

Stop & Start system, indicates the use of a 12 V

lead-acid battery with special technology and

specification; the involvement of a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop is essential

when replacing or disconnecting the battery.

Disconnecting the (+) cable

Raise the locking tab D fully to release the

cable terminal clamp E.

The battery is located under the bonnet.

To gain access to it:

open the bonnet using the interior release

lever, then the exterior safety catch,

secure the bonnet stay,

remove the plastic cover on the (+)

terminal.

Reconnecting the (+) cable

Position the open clamp E of the cable on

the positive post (+) of the battery.

Press vertically on the clamp E to position

it correctly on the battery.

After refitting the battery, the Stop & Start

system will only be active after a continuous

period of immobilisation of the vehicle, a period

which depends on the climatic conditions and

the state of charge of the battery (up to about

8 hours).

Lock the clamp by spreading the

positioning lug and then lowering the tab D.

Do not apply excessive force on the

tab as locking will not be possible if the

clamp is not positioned correctly; start

the procedure again.

With Stop & Start, the battery does not have to

be disconnected for charging.

Practical information

Starting using another

battery

When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the

engine can be started using a slave battery

(external or on another vehicle) and jump lead

cables.

Remove the plastic cover from the (+)

terminal, if your vehicle has one.

Connect the red cable to the positive

terminal (+) of the flat battery A, then to the

positive terminal (+) of the slave battery B.

Connect one end of the green or black

cable to the negative terminal (-) of the

slave battery B (or earth point on the other

vehicle).

First check that the slave battery has a

nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity

at least equal to that of the discharged

battery.

Connect the other end of the green or black

cable to the earth point C on the broken

down vehicle (or on the engine mounting).

Start the engine of the vehicle with the

good battery and leave it running for a

few minutes.

Do not try to start the engine by

connecting a battery charger.

Do not disconnect the (+) terminal when

the engine is running.

Operate the starter on the broken down

vehicle and let the engine run.

If the engine does not start straight away,

switch off the ignition and wait a few moments

before trying again.

Wait until the engine returns to idle then

disconnect the jump lead cables in the

reverse order.

Refit the plastic cover to the (+) terminal,

if your vehicle has one.

Practical information

Before disconnecting the battery

Charging the battery using

a battery charger

Protect your eyes and face before

handling the battery.

Wait 2 minutes after switching off the ignition

before disconnecting the battery.

Close the windows and the doors before

disconnecting 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, so as to avoid the risk of

explosion or fire.

Do not try to charge a frozen battery;

the battery must first be thawed out to

avoid the risk of explosion. If the battery

has been frozen, before charging have

it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualified workshop who will check that

the internal components have not been

damaged and the casing is not cracked,

which could cause a leak of toxic and

corrosive acid.

Do not reverse the polarity and use only

a 12 V charger.

Do not disconnect the terminals while

the engine is running.

Do not charge the batteries without

disconnecting the terminals first.

Wash your hands afterwards.

Disconnect the battery from the vehicle.

Follow the instructions for use provided by

the manufacturer of the charger.

Connect the battery starting with the

negative terminal (-).

Check that the terminals and connectors

are clean. If they are covered with sulphate

(whitish or greenish deposit), remove them

and clean them.

Following reconnection of the

battery

Following reconnection of the battery, switch on

the ignition and wait 1 minute before starting to

permit initialisation of the electronic systems.

However, if problems remain following this

operation, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualified workshop.

Referring to the corresponding section, you

must yourself reinitialise (depending on

version):

The batteries contain harmful substances

such as sulphuric acid and lead. They

must be disposed of in accordance

with regulations and must not, in any

circumstances, be discarded with household

waste.

the remote control key,

the electric blind(s),

...

Take used remote control batteries and

vehicle batteries to a special collection point.

It is advisable to disconnect the battery

if the vehicle is to be left unused for

more than one month.

Do not push the vehicle to start the

engine if you have an electronic or

automatic gearbox.

Some functions are not available if the

battery is not sufficiently charged.

Practical information

Load reduction mode Energy economy mode

System which manages the use of certain

functions according to the level of charge

remaining in the battery.

When the vehicle is being driven, the load

reduction function temporarily deactivates

certain functions, such as the air conditioning,

the heated rear screen...

System which manages the duration of use of

certain functions to conserve a sufficient level

of charge in the battery.

After the engine has stopped, you can still use

functions such as the audio and telematics

system, windscreen wipers, dipped beam

headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc. for a

maximum combined duration of thirty minutes.

This period may be greatly reduced if the

battery is not fully charged.

Exiting economy mode

These functions are reactivated automatically

next time the vehicle is driven.

To restore the use of these functions

immediately, start the engine and let it run for at

least 5 minutes.

The deactivated functions are reactivated

automatically as soon as conditions permit.

Let the engine run for the duration

specified to ensure that the battery

charge is sufficient.

Do not repeatedly and continuously

restart the engine in order to charge the

battery.

Switching to economy mode

Once this time has elapsed, a message

appears in the screen indicating that the

vehicle has switched to economy mode and the

active functions are put on standby.

A flat battery prevents the engine

from starting (refer to the "Battery"

paragraph).

If the telephone is being used at this

time, the call will be maintained for

5 minutes with the hands-free kit of your

PEUGEOT Connect Sound (RD5) or

PEUGEOT Connect Navigation (RNEG).
