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,

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.

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:

RDS
RDS, if activated, allows you to continue
listening to the same station by automatically
retuning to alternative frequencies. However, in
certain conditions, coverage of an RDS station
may not be assured throughout the entire
country as radio stations do not cover 100% of
the territory. This explains the loss of reception
of a station that can occur during a journey.
With source FM1 or FM2, press
M ENU .
Select "Radio ".
Select or deselect "RDS " to switch
RDS on or off.
Confirm with " OK" to save the
setting.
Receiving TA messages

source (radio, CD, USB, etc.) is interrupted
automatically to play the TA message.
Normal playback resumes at the end of
the transmission of the message. Press MENU
.
Select "Radio ".
Select or deselect " TA" to activate
or deactivate the reception of traffic
messages.
Confirm with " OK" to save the
setting.

screen, press MENU .
Select " Radio".
Select or deselect " TXT" to activate
or deactivate the display of Radio
Te x t .
Confirm with " OK" to save the
setting.

the first connection.
Reduce the number of non-music files
and the number of folders to reduce the
waiting time. The playlists are updated
every time the ignition is switched off or
a
USB memory stick is connected.
The lists are memorised: if they are not
modified, the subsequent loading time will
