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.

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

In the event of a breakdown

approximately 15 minutes before starting the

engine.

Accessing the batteries

Front

Accessory battery

(Rechargeable hybrid)

The rechargeable hybrid system has two

accessory batteries: one at the front and one at

the rear of the vehicle.

If minor problems nevertheless persist following

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.
