2018 Peugeot 208 stop and start

115
For more information on the precautions
to take before starting work on the 12 V
battery , refer to the corresponding
section.
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.
Air filter
Depending on the environment
(e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving),
replace it twice as often if
necessary .
Cabin filter
Depending on the environment
(e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving),
replace it twice as often if
necessary. A clogged cabin filter may have an
adverse effect on the per formance of
the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the particle
filter is indicated by the fixed
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an alert message.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a
speed
of at least 37 mph (60 km/h) until the
warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates
a low Diesel additive level.
For more information on Checking the
levels and in particular on the Diesel
additive level, refer to the corresponding
section.
On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell, which
is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does not
affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the
environment.

In the event of an AdBlue® breakdown,
confirmed by the message "Add AdBlue:
Starting impossible", you must top up with
at least 5

litres.
Never pour AdBlue
® into the Diesel fuel
tank.
For the specifics associated with the
access configuration for the AdBlue
® tank
(via the boot or via the fuel filler flap), refer
to the descriptions given in detail further
on.
If any AdBlue
® is splashed, or if there are
any spillages on the side of the body, rinse
immediately with cold water or wipe with
a

damp cloth.
If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off
using a

sponge and hot water.
Important: when topping up after
a breakdown due to running out
of AdBlue, you must wait for at least
5
minutes before switching on the ignition
again, without opening the driver's
door, unlocking the vehicle or inser ting
the key in the switch.
Switch on the ignition, then after
a
minimum of 10 seconds, start the engine.

12 V battery
Procedure for starting the engine using another
battery or charging a
discharged battery.
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.
With an automatic gearbox, never try to
start the engine by pushing the vehicle.
The Stop & Start system may not be
operational during the trip following the
next engine start.
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 exterior
temperature and the state of charge of the
battery (up to about 8
hours).
Access to the battery
The battery is located under the bonnet.
To access it:
F
O
pen the bonnet using the interior release
lever, then the exterior safety catch.
F

S
ecure the bonnet stay.

The ( -) battery terminal is not accessible. A
remote earth point is located on the engine
mounting.
Starting using another
battery
When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be started using a backup battery
(external or from another vehicle) and jump
leads or using 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 backup
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 all the electrical consumers
on both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are not
close to moving parts of the engine (fan,
belts, etc.).

139
Charging the battery using
a battery charger
For optimum ser vice 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 only use your vehicle 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 wish to charge your vehicle's battery
yourself, use only a
charger compatible
with lead-acid batteries with a
nominal
voltage of 12
V.
Follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the charger.
Never reverse polarities.
It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery.
F

S
witch off the ignition.
F

S
witch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, lighting, wipers, etc.). F

S
witch off 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

I
f your vehicle has one, lift the plastic cover
on the (+) terminal.
F

C
onnect the cables of charger B as follows:
-

t
he positive (+) red cable to the (+)
terminal of battery A ,
-

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

A
t the end of the charging operation, switch
off charger B before disconnecting the
cables from battery A .
Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged. Never try to 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. 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.
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 ser vice for a
long
period.
Before disconnecting the battery:
F

c
lose all openings (doors, boot, windows,
e t c .),

In "Random all" play, not all of the tracks are
played.In "Random all" play, the system can only take
into account up to 999
tracks.
With the engine off, the audio system switches
off after a
few minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the audio
system operating time depends on the battery
charge.
The switch-off is normal: the audio system
switches to economy mode and switches off to
prevent discharging the vehicle's battery. Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery
charge.
The message "the audio system is overheated"
appears on the display. In order to protect the installation if the
surrounding temperature is too high, the audio
system switches to an automatic thermal
protection mode leading to a
reduction of the
volume or stopping of the playing of the CD. Switch the audio system off for a
few minutes to
allow the system to cool.

recognised" message appears on the screen.The USB memory stick is not recognised. Use only USB memory sticks formatted to FAT
32 (28 -bit file allocation table).
A telephone connects automatically,
disconnecting another telephone. Automatic connection overrides manual
connection.Modify the telephone settings to remove
automatic connection.
The iPod is not recognised when connecting to
the USB port. The iPod is of a
generation that is not
compatible with the USB.
The hard disk or device is not recognised when
connecting to the USB socket. Some hard disks and devices need a
power
supply greater than is provided by the audio
system. Connect the device to the 230
V socket, the
12
V socket or an external power supply.
Caution : ensure that the device does not
transmit a
voltage greater than 5 V (risk of
destruction of the system).
When streaming, the sound cuts out
