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.
Before doing any work
Immobilise the vehicle: apply the parking
brake, put the gearbox in neutral, then
switch off the ignition.
Check that all electrical equipment is
switched off.
Access to the battery
F Remove the plastic cover to access the the (+) terminal.
The battery (-) terminal is not accessible. A
remote earth point is located on the engine
mounting.
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.
Starting using another
battery
When your vehicle's battery is flat, the engine
can be started using a backup battery (external
or from another vehicle) and jump leads 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.
First check 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.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while
the engine is running.

F

A
llow the engine to run for at least
30
minutes, by driving or with the vehicle
stationary, so that the battery reaches an
adequate state of charge.
Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.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 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 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

cable to the (-) terminal of backup battery
B or of the booster (or an earth point on the
other vehicle).
F

C

onnect the other end of the green or black
cable to earth point C on the broken down
vehicle.
In the event of a breakdown

217
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.
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

R

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

C

onnect the cables of charger B as follows:
-

T

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

T

he (-) black cable to the 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 . 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.
The Stop & Start system may not be
operational during the trip following the
first 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).
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,
roof),
F

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

s
witch off the ignition and wait for four
minutes.
At the battery, detach the (+) terminal only.

Following reconnection of the battery
Following reconnection of the battery, switch on
the ignition and wait 1 minute before starting to
permit initialisation of the electronic systems. If
minor problems nevertheless persist following
this operation, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section, you
must yourself reinitialise (depending on
version):
-

t
he remote control key,
-

t
he electric blind(s),
-
etc.The Stop & Start system may not be
operational during the trip following the
first 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).
