Access to the battery
Procedure for starting the engine using another 
battery or charging a discharged battery.
General points
Lead-acid starter batteries
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, so as to avoid the risk of 
explosion or fire.
Wash your hands afterwards.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are 
fitted with a 12 V lead-acid battery of 
specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried 
out only by a P
e
ugeo
T d
ealer or a 
qualified workshop. If your vehicle has an automatic 
gearbox, do not try to start the engine 
by pushing the vehicle.
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.
For more information on the 
Bonnet and the Engine , refer to the 
corresponding section(s).

battery
Never try to start the engine by 
connecting a battery charger.
Never use a 24 V or higher battery 
b o o s t e r.
First check that the slave 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 the electrical consumers on 
both vehicles (audio system, wipers, 
lighting, ...).

When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the 
engine can be started using a slave battery 
(external or on another vehicle) and jump lead 
cables or a battery booster.
Some functions, including Stop & Start, 
are not available if the battery is not 
sufficiently charged.

Disconnecting the battery
In order to maintain an adequate state 
of charge for starting the engine, it is 
recommended that the battery be disconnected 
if the vehicle is taken out of service for a long 
period.
Wait 2 minutes after switching off the ignition 
before disconnecting the battery.

available again after a continuous 
period of immobilisation of the vehicle, 
a period which depends on the ambient 
temperature and the state of charge of 
the battery (up to about 8 hours).
