PRACTICAL INFORMATION
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.
Take used remote control bat-
teries and vehicle batteries to a
special collection point.
Charging the battery using a
battery charger
)
Disconnect the battery from the ve-
hicle.
)
Remove the battery and place it in a
ventilated area.
)
Remove the top-up caps and top up
the level with distilled water if nec-
essary.
)
Connect the battery to the charger
observing the instructions for use
provided by the manufacturer and
start charging.
)
Disconnect the battery from the
charger and let it to cool.
)
If necessary, top up the level with
distilled water.
)
Clean the top of the battery care-
fully.
)
Put the top-up caps back in place.
)
Check that the terminals and con-
nectors are clean. If they are covered
with sulphate (whitish or greenish de-
posit), remove them and clean them.
)
Reconnect the battery starting with
the positive terminal (+). It is advisable to disconnect the
battery if the vehicle is to be left un-
used for more than one month.
Do not disconnect the terminals
while the engine is running.
Do not charge the batteries with-
out disconnecting the terminals
fi rst.
Avoid prolonged contact of the
electrolyte with the skin.
Most of these fl uids are harmful
to health and very corrosive. When charging the battery, it is
normal to observe an increase
in temperature and bubbling of
the electrolyte.
Before disconnecting the battery
Wait 2 minutes after switching off the igni-
tion before disconnecting the battery.
Close the windows, the sunroof, the
doors and the tailgate before discon-
necting the battery.
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 slight
diffi culties are encountered following this
operation, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section,
you must yourself reinitialise:
- the one-touch electric windows,
- the sunroof,
- the satellite navigation system.

AUDIO EQUIPMENT and TELEMATICS
NAVIGATION - GUIDANCENAVIGATION - GUIDANCE
What is the navigation system and
the GPS?
The satellite navigation system guides
the driver to the destination that he has
set in accordance with a chosen route.
Initially, it searches for the destination
required by the user, then it calculates
the route and fi nally it provides the visual
and audible guidance instructions.
What precautions should be
observed in order to make best use
of the system?
Do not place anything on or near the
GPS aerial.
Do not use any digital communication
equipment (personal computers, etc.)
near the GPS aerial.
Do not affi x any refl ective fi lms or fi lms
containing carbon to the windows.
The GPS (Global Positioning
System) consists of several
satellites distributed around
the earth. They continuously
transmit digital signals which
travel at the speed of light, on 2 different
frequencies.
At any given time, the system receives
its position in relation to the satellites
detected and the time of transmission
of the signal.
This enables the telematic unit to cal-
culate its position and therefore that of
the vehicle.
A repositioning process using the map
database stored on the hard disk allows
the vehicle to be positioned on the road
network, so improving the accuracy of
the vehicle location function.
What is a point of interest (POI)?
Up to 40 different icons may
be displayed (refer to the
section "Points of interest
icon").
They are classifi ed in 5 groups and
identifi ed by one colour for each group:
- Shops, fi nance and businesses
(Green),
- Vehicles and travel (Dark blue),
- Restaurants (Orange),
- Public places and emergency services
(Brown),
- Entertainment and attractions (Blue).
GPS
The system's measurements may be
inaccurate if the vehicle is:
- in a tunnel or underground car park,
- underneath a two-level motorway,
- in an area with several very high
buildings,
- surrounded by closely planted trees.
Depending on the vehicle's situation and
the reception of the GPS information, the
displayed information may disappear from
the screen temporarily. A point of interest (POI) is
represented by an icon on
the map, it represents an
airport, a station, a town
hall, ...
