Storage
12 V accessory socket USB ports
Obser ve the maximum power rating to
avoid damaging your accessory. The connection of an electrical device
not approved by PEUGEOT, such as a
USB charger, may adversely affect the
operation of vehicle electrical systems,
causing faults such as poor radio
reception or inter ference with displays in
the screens.
When the USB port is used, the portable
device charges automatically.
While charging, a message is displayed
if the power consumption of the portable
device exceeds the amperage supplied by
the vehicle.

The curtain airbag is deployed at the same
time as the corresponding lateral airbag in the
event of a serious side impact applied to all or
part of the side impact zone B, perpendicular
to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The curtain airbag inflates between the front or
rear occupant of the vehicle and the windows.
Malfunction
If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, you must contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
The airbags may no longer be deployed in the
event of a serious impact.
In the event of a minor impact or bump on
the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle rolls
over, the airbags may not be deployed.
In the event of a rear or front collision,
none of the lateral airbags are deployed.
Advice
For the airbags to be fully effective,
observe the safety recommendations
below.
Adopt a normal and upright sitting
position.
Fasten your seat belt, ensuring it is
positioned correctly.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
object, etc.), nor fix or attach anything
close to or in the way of the airbag release
trajectory; this could cause injuries during
their deployment.
Never modify the original definition of your
vehicle, particularly in the area directly
around the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned
are obser ved, a risk of injury or of minor
burns to the head, chest or arms when an
airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out.
The airbag inflates almost instantly (within
a few milliseconds) then deflates within
the same time discharging the hot gas via
openings provided for this purpose. Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on the
centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on
the dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the
airbags can cause burns or the risk of
injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel
or hit it violently.
Do not fix or attach anything to the
steering wheel or dashboard, this could
cause injuries on deployment of the
airbags.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof,
as this could cause head injuries when the
curtain airbag is deployed.
If fitted to your vehicle, do not remove the
grab handles installed on the roof, they
play a part in securing the curtain airbags.

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.

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.

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.

3 The different functions and settings
described vary according to the version
and configuration of your vehicle.
As a safety measure and because it
requires sustained attention by the
driver, the pairing of a Bluetooth mobile
telephone with the Bluetooth hands-free
system of your audio system must be
done with the vehicle stationary
and the
ignition on.
Your audio system is coded in such a way
that it will only operate in your vehicle.
All work on the system must be
carried out exclusively by a dealer or
qualified workshop, to avoid any risk of
electrocution, fire or mechanical faults.
To avoid discharging the battery, the audio
system may switch off after a few minutes
if the engine is not running.
