pen the bonnet using the interior release
lever, then the exterior safety catch,
F
s
ecure the bonnet stay,
F
r
emove the plastic cover on the (+) terminal,
Disconnecting the (+) cable

and specification; the involvement of a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop is
essential when replacing or disconnecting 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).
With Stop & Start, the battery does not have to
be disconnected for charging. Procedure for starting the engine using another
battery or charging a discharged battery.
Do not apply excessive force on the
tab as locking will not be possible if the
clamp is not positioned correctly; start

heck that the terminals and connectors
are clean. If they are covered with sulphate
(whitish or greenish deposit), remove them
and clean them.
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 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.
Before disconnecting the battery
Wait 2 minutes after switching off the ignition
before disconnecting the battery.
Close the windows and the doors before
disconnecting the battery.
Following reconnection of the

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, 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.
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.

The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.
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.

QUESTION ANSWER SOLUTION
With the engine off, the
system switches off after
a few minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the system's operating time depends on
the state of charge of the battery.
The switch-off is normal: economy mode is activated automatically to
maintain the state of charge of the vehicle's battery, needed for engine
starting. (See the "Energy economy mode" section). Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery
charge.
Playback of my USB
memory stick starts only
after a very long wait
(around 2 to 3 minutes). Some files supplied with the memory stick may greatly slow down access
to reading the memory stick (multiplication by 10 of the catalogue time\
).
Delete the files supplied with the memory stick and
limit the number of sub-folders in the file structure
on the memory stick.
When I connect my
iPhone as telephone and
to the USB port at the
same time, I am unable to
play the music files. When the iPhone connects automatically as a telephone, it forces the
streaming function. The streaming function takes the place of the USB
function which is then not useable, there is a period without sound of t\
he
track being played with Apple
® players.
Disconnect and reconnect to the USB port
(the
USB function takes priority over streaming).
