As a safety measure, the motor will
not star t when the charging cable isconnected to the vehicle's socket.
Also, any attempt to star t the motor interrupts the charging procedure. It willthen be necessary to disconnect and reconnect the charging cable plug tocontinue charging.
After charging, close the chargingsocket cover and flap. Take care to avoid the ingress of water or dust to the socket and its cover or the charging plug. Risk of fire or electrocution.
After charging, do not leave the cableconnected to the electric power point. There is a risk of shor t circuit or electrocution if it is contacted or immersed in water.
To optimise the ser vice life of the
main battery, charge it completelyevery 15 days.
For a complete charge, follow the normal charging procedure (domestic power point) without interruption, until itstops automatically (charging warning lamp off in the instrument panel).
The char
ge warning lamp in the instrument panel goes off when charging is complete. )Press the button to remove the charging plug. )Refit the protective cover to the charging cable. )Close the charging socket cover, then the flap. )Disconnect the charging cable from thepower point. )Stow the charging cable in the bag provided.
Vehicle out of use for a longperiod
When your vehicle is going to be outof use for a long period, charge the main battery completely every three months (following the normal charging procedure).
Before charging, check that the ancillaries battery is not disconnected or discharged. If this is the case, refer to the "ancillaries battery" section for reconnecting or charging the battery.

)Check that the charging warning lampin the instrument panel is on fixed.
Fast charging stops automatically whenthe battery is around 80 % charged.It is possible to attain a level of 100 %charged by restarting the procedure. However, the time taken by this additional charge will be relatively long,
as the charging rate is reduced.
During the fast charge, the vehicle's air conditioning may start automatically,if needed to cool the main battery. It istherefore perfectly normal to hear thenoise of a fan running from outside thevehicle and to see a puddle of water form under the vehicle.
As a safety measure, the motor will not star t when the charging cable isconnected to the vehicle's socket. Also, any attempt to star t the motor interrupts the charging procedure. It will then be necessary to disconnectand reconnect the charging cable plug to continue charging, following the instructions for using the charging station.
If the ambient temperature is below 0 °C,the charging time may be longer.
If the ambient temperature is below -25 °C, charging may not be possible. If this is not the case, charging has not star ted;
check the operating instructions for the charging station. The charging warning lamp in the instrument
panel goes off when charging is complete. ) Disconnect the charging cable followingthe instructions for the charging terminal. )
Close the charging socket cover and the flap.
After charging, close the chargingsocket cover and flap. Take care to avoid the ingress of water or dust to the socket and its cover or the charging plug. Risk of fire or electrocution.

Ancillaries battery
(other than the electric motor, the heating and
the air conditioning) are powered by this 12 V
ancillaries battery.
It is located in the front compartment and isrecharged by the main battery, during phases
of operation ("Ready" lamp on in the instrument
panel) and charging.
If the ancillaries battery is discharged,it will not be possible to star t the motor and the main battery cannot becharged.
)Open the front bonnet using the interior release lever, then the exterior safety catch. )Secure the bonnet stay. )Slacken nut 1. )Remove the battery protective cover for access to the two terminals.
Access to the battery
Disconnecting the battery is not recommended.However, if the vehicle is not to be used for a prolonged period of more than a month, it may be necessary todisconnect and store it to avoid theelectrolyte freezing.
After prolonged disconnection of the battery, you must contact a PEUGEOTdealer or a qualified workshop to havethe electronic control unit reinitialised.

)Star t the other vehicle and wait a fewminutes. )Turn the ignition key on your vehicle, until
the "Ready" lamp comes on.
)Disconnect the cables in the reverse order. )Refit the battery protective cover and
tighten the fixing screw.
I
f the "Ready" lamp does not come on, proceedas follows: )Leave the cables connected. )Return the ignition switch on your vehicle to
the " LOCK" position. )Put the main battery on charge, followingthe procedure for normal charging (see the"charging the main battery" section). )When the charging warning lamp in
the instrument panel comes on fixed,disconnect the cables. )Leave the battery on charge for at least one hour. )Turn the ignition key on your vehicle, until
the "Ready" lamp comes on.
If the problem persists, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Never charge the battery without first disconnecting the terminals and removing it from the vehicle.Do not disconnect the terminals whenthe "Ready" lamp is on, nor when thevehicle is being charged.
Before disconnecting
You must wait 2 minutes after switchingoff the ignition before disconnecting the battery.
Batteries contain harmful substancessuch as sulphuric acid and lead. Theymust be disposed of in line with legal requirements and never put out withhousehold waste. Ta k e used batteries to an authorisedcollection point.
)Disconnect the negative (-) terminal. )Lift the protective cover on the (+) terminal 2 . )Slacken nut 3. )Disconnect the positive (+) terminal. )Remove the battery. )Charge the battery following the
instructions given by the manufacturer of
the battery charger. )Reconnect the battery starting with the (+) cable.
After reconnecting
After reconnecting the battery, switchon the ignition and wait 1 minutebefore starting, to allow initialisation of the electronic systems. However, if minor problems persist after doingthis, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.Remember to enter the radio code yourself, referring to the relevant section.
Ensure that the battery posts and cable terminals are clean. If they are coveredwith sulphates (whitish or greenish deposit), disconnect and clean them.
