In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
vehicle may stall. All of the instrument panel
warning lights come on. It is then necessary to
switch the ignition off and to restart the engine
using the key.
The Stop & Start system requires a 12 V
battery of specific technology and
specification.
All work on this type of battery must be
carried out only by a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop.
For more information on the 12 V batter y ,
refer to the corresponding section.

Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of certain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates
certain functions, such as the air conditioning,
the heated rear screen ...
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.
Energy savings mode
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 communication
system, windscreen wipers, dipped beam
headlights, courtesy lights, etc. for a maximum
cumulative time of about thirty minutes.Switching to economy
mode
Once this period has elapsed, a message
appears in the screen indicating that the
vehicle has switched to economy mode and the
active functions are put on standby.
If a telephone call is in progress at this time, the

12 V battery
Procedure for starting the engine using another battery or charging a discharged battery.
General points
Lead-acid starter batteries
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.
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 PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If you have an electronic or automatic
gearbox, never try to start the engine by
pushing the vehicle.
Access to the battery
The battery is located under the bonnet.
To gain access to it:
F

O
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.
The battery (-) terminal is not accessible. A
remote earth point is located on the engine.

173
Starting using another
battery
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.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.
Check beforehand that the slave battery
has a nominal voltage of 12 V and a
minimum capacity 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, ...).
Ensure that the jump lead cables do not
pass close to moving parts of the engine
(cooling fan, belts, ...).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal when
the engine is running. F

R
aise the plastic cover on the (+) terminal,
if your vehicle has one.
F

C
onnect the red cable to the positive
terminal (+) of the flat battery A (at the
metal elbow) then to the positive terminal
(+) of the slave battery B or the booster.
F

C
onnect one end of the green or black
cable to the negative terminal (-) of the
slave battery B or the booster (or earth
point on the other vehicle).
F

C
onnect the other end of the green or black
cable to the earth point C on the broken
down vehicle. F
S tart the engine of the vehicle with the
good battery and leave it running for a few
minutes.
F

Charging the battery using
a battery charger
For optimum service life of the battery, it is
essential to maintain an adequate state of
charge.
In some circumstances it may be necessary to
charge the battery:
-
I
f you use your vehicle essentially for short
journeys.
-

I
f the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
several weeks.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If you envisage charging your vehicle's
battery yourself, use only a charger
compatible with lead-based batteries of a
nominal voltage of 12 V.
Follow the instructions for use provided by
the charger manufacturer.
Never reverse polarities.
It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery. F

S
witch off the ignition.
F
S
witch off all electricity consuming devices
(audio system, lighting, wipers, etc.).
F
S
witch off the charger B before connecting
the cables to the battery, so as to avoid any
dangerous sparks.
F

E
nsure that the charger cables are in good
condition.
F

R
aise the plastic cover, if your vehicle has
one, on the (+) terminal.
F

C
onnect the charger B cables as follows:
-

T
he positive (+) red cable to the (+)
terminal of the battery A .
-

T
he negative (-) black cable to the earth
point C on the vehicle.
F

A
t the end of the charging operation, switch
off the charger B before disconnecting the
cables from the battery A . If this label is present, it is essential to
use only a 12 V charger to avoid causing
irreversible damage to the electrical
components related to the Stop & Start
system.
Never try any charge a frozen battery -
Risk of explosion!
If the battery has frozen, have it checked
by a PEUGEOT dealer or by a qualified
workshop who will check that the internal
components have not been damaged and
that the container has not cracked, which
would mean a risk of toxic and corrosive
acid leaking.
In the event of a breakdown

After reconnecting the
battery
After reconnecting the battery, turn on the
ignition and wait 1 minute before starting
the engine, in order to enable the electronic
systems to initialise.
If minor problems nevertheless persist

On the journey following the initial engine
start-up, the Stop & Start may not be
operational.
In this case, the system will only be
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).
