Starting using another
battery
When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be started using a back-up 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.
Check beforehand that the back-up
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

R

emove the plastic cover to access the (+)
terminal, if your vehicle has one.
The battery (-) terminal is not accessible.
A remote earth point is provided at the front of
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.
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.

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.
To disconnect, proceed in reverse order.
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 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.

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.
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

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.

Quick-release terminal clamp
Disconnecting the (+) terminalReconnecting the (+) terminal
Do not force the lever as locking will not
be possible if the clamp is not positioned
correctly; start the procedure again.
Following reconnection of the
battery
Following reconnection of the battery, turn on
the ignition and wait 1 minute before starting
the engine, in order to enable the electronic
systems to initialise.
However, if minor problems persist following
this operation, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section, you
must reinitialise certain systems yourself, such
as:
-

t
he remote control or electronic key
(depending on version),
-

t
he electric windows,
-

t
he electric doors,
-

t
he date and time,
-

t
he radio preset stations.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).

Characteristics of the
engines and towed loads
Engines
The engine characteristics are given in the
vehicle's registration document, as well as in
sales brochures.The maximum power corresponds to the
value type-approved on a test bed, under
conditions defined in European legislation
(Directive 1999/99/EC).
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Weights and towed loads
The maximum weights and towed loads for
your vehicle are given in the registration
document, as well as in sales brochures.
These values are also given on the
manufacturer's plate or label.
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The GTW values and the towable loads
listed are valid for a maximum altitude of
1,000
metres. The towable load must be
reduced by steps of 10% for each additional
1,000


metres.
The recommended nose weight is the vertical
load on the towbar ball (removable, with or
without tools).
GT W: Gross train weight. High exterior temperatures may result
in a reduction in the per formance of the
vehicle to protect the engine. When the
exterior temperature is higher than 37°C,
limit the towed weight.
Towing using a lightly loaded vehicle can
adversely affect roadholding.
Braking distances are increased when
towing a trailer.
When using a vehicle to tow, never exceed
a speed of around 60
mph (100 km/h)
(obser ve the local legislation in force).
If the exterior temperature is high, it is
recommended that the engine be allowed
to idle for 1
to 2 minutes after the vehicle
comes to a stop, to facilitate its cooling.
