2019 Peugeot 508 will not start

235
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.
Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.
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.

Do not force the lever as locking will not
be possible if the clamp is not positioned
correctly; start the procedure again.
Following reconnection
After reconnecting the battery, turn on the
ignition and wait 1 minute before starting
the engine, in order to enable the electronic
systems to initialise.
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.

QUESTIONRESPONSESOLUTION
Playback of my USB memory stick starts only
after a very long wait (around 2 to 3 minutes). Some files supplied with the memory stick
may greatly slow down access to reading
the memory stick (multiplication by 10 of the
catalogue time).Delete the files supplied with the memory stick
and limit the number of sub-folders in the file
structure on the memory stick.
The CD is ejected every time or is not played. The CD is upside down, cannot be read, does not contain audio files or contains audio files of
a format not recognised by the audio system.
The CD has been recorded in a format that is
not compatible with the player (udf, etc.).
The CD is protected by an anti-pirating system
not recognised by the audio system.Check that the CD is inserted in the player the
right way up.
Check the condition of the CD: the CD cannot
be played if it is too badly damaged.
Check the content in the case of a recorded
CD: consult the advice in the "AUDIO" section.
The audio system CD does not read DVDs.
Due to poor quality, certain burned CDs will not
be read by the audio system.
Media
I cannot find some radio stations in the list of
stations received.
The name of the radio station changes.
The station is not received or has changed its
