QUICK HELP


Battery


Batteries contain harmful substances
such as sulphuric acid and lead. They
must be disposed of in accordance with the
law and must not, in any circumstances be
discarded with household waste.
Take used batteries to an authorised waste
disposal site.

It is advisable to disconnect the battery
if the vehicle is not to be used for a
period of more than one month. To do
this on models with Stop & Start:


- press the release button E
to disconnect
connector F
,

- disconnect connector F
of check sensor G
.
Never remove the check sensor G
from the
metallic point H
, except when replacing 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.
Failure to observe this recommendation may
cause premature wear of the battery.

After refitting the battery by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop, 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).
Before charging
The charging operation must be carried out in
a ventilated area away from naked fl ames or
any possible sources of sparks to eliminate the
risks of explosion and fi re.
Do not attempt to charge a frozen battery: it
must fi rst be thawed to eliminate the risks of
explosion. If the battery has frozen, before
charging it have it checked by a specialist who
will check that the internal components have
not been damaged and that the container is
not cracked, which could mean that there is a
risk of a leak of toxic and corrosive acid.

Before disconnecting
Never disconnect a terminal when the
engine is running.
Before disconnecting the battery, you must
wait for 2 minutes after switching off the
ignition.
Close the windows and doors before
disconnecting the battery.
After reconnecting
After every reconnection of the battery,
switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute
before starting to allow the electronic
systems to be initialised. If difficulties are
experienced after this, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
If the battery has been disconnected
for some time, it may be necessary to
reinitialise the following functions:


- the display parameters (date, time,
language, distance and temperature
units),

- the radio stations,

- the central locking.
Some settings are cleared and must be
reprogrammed. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.

CHANGING A WHEEL

Parking the vehicle

As far as possible, park the vehicle on level,
stable and non-slippery ground.
Apply the parking brake, switch off the
ignition and engage first gear (on a hill).
It is imperative that you ensure that the
occupants get out of the vehicle and wait in
a safe location.
If possible, place a chock under the

The spare wheel retaining bolt is located on
the rear left part of the loading sill.


1.
Slacken the wheel retaining bolt using the
wheelbrace.

2.
Unscrew fully to unwind the winch cable.

TEMPORARY PUNCTURE REPAIR KIT


This kit is located at the front of the
passenger compartment. It consists of:


- a repair cartridge A
, containing the
sealant, equipped with:


●
a fi lling pipe B
,

●
a sticker C
indicating "max. 80 km/h", which
the driver must affi x to the dashboard in a
visible position after repairing the tyre,

- a compressor D
equipped with a pressure
gauge and unions,

- adaptors for the inflation of various items,

- a pair of protective gloves,

- a quick guide to use of the temporary
puncture repair kit.


Repair procedure



- Apply the parking brake and place the
gear lever in neutral.

- Unscrew the valve cap of the tyre to be
repaired.

- Take out the filling pipe B
and screw the
ring E
onto the tyre valve.

- Check that the on/off switch F
on the
compressor is in position "0"
(off).
- Start the engine.

- Insert the connector G
in the nearest
12 V accessory socket in the vehicle.

- Place the compressor’s on/off switch F
in
position "1"
(on).

- Inflate the tyre to a pressure of 3 bars.
To obtain a more accurate reading, you are
advised to check the pressure value on the
pressure gauge H
, with the compressor off. This temporary puncture repair kit is
available from PEUGEOT dealers.
It is provided for the repair of holes of
a maximum diameter of 4 mm, located
exclusively on the tread or side wall of the
tyre. Avoid removing any foreign bodies
which have penetrated into the tyre.

Changing a wheel



- If a pressure of at least 1.5 bars
is not
reached within 5 minutes
:


●
disconnect the compressor from the
valve and from the 12 V accessory
socket,

●
move the vehicle forward by
approximately 10 metres to distribute the
fi lling fl uid inside the tyre,

●
then repeat the infl ation operation.



- If a pressure of at least 1.8 bars
is not
reached within 10 minutes
:


●
stop the repair procedure; the tyre has
suffered too much damage and cannot
be repaired,

●
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.



- If the tyre has been inflated to a pressure
of 3 bars
, set off again immediately.
After driving for approximately 10 minutes,
stop and check the pressure of the tyre
again.
Re-inflate the tyre to the correct pressure if
necessary and contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
You must inform the technician that you
have repaired the tyre using the temporary
puncture repair kit and show him its
instructions.


Checking and correcting the pressure

For checking and correcting the pressure of
a tyre, use the compressor as follows:


- disconnect the pipe I
,

- connect it directly to the tyre valve,
the cartridge will then be connected to the
compressor and the sealant will not be
injected.

Replacing the repair cartridge

Disconnect the pipe I
.
Turn the empty cartridge anticlockwise and
lift it.
Insert the new cartridge and turn it
clockwise.
Reconnect the pipe I
and connect the pipe B

in its location.

The repair cartridge contains ethylene-
glycol, a product which is harmful if
swallowed and which causes irritation to the
eyes.
Keep this product out of reach of children.
After use, take the cartridge to a PEUGEOT
dealer or to an authorised waste disposal
site. If the tyre has to be deflated:


- connect the pipe I
to the tyre valve,

- press the yellow button, located in the
centre of the switch F
on the compressor.
