Running out of fuel
(Diesel)
On vehicles fitted with Diesel engines, the fuel
system must be primed if you run out of fuel.
If the engine does not start first time, do not
keep trying, but start the procedure again from
the beginning.For more information on Misfuel
prevention (Diesel) , refer to the
corresponding section.

Light-emitting diodes (LED)
For the replacement of this type of bulb,
you must contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
Halogen bulbs
To ensure good quality lighting, check
that the bulb is correctly positioned in its
housing. In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps is
normal; it disappears after the lamps have
been on for a
few minutes.
Types of bulb
Various types of bulb are fitted to your vehicle.
To remove them:

Ty p e B Ty p e C
Ty p e D
Halogen bulbs must be changed with the
lamp off for a few minutes (risk of severe
burns). Do not touch the bulb directly, use
a
lint-free cloth.
When each operation has been completed,
check the operation of the lighting.
All glass bulb: pull gently as it is fitted by
pressure.
Bayonet bulb: press on the bulb then turn it
anti-clockwise. Halogen bulb: release the retaining spring from
its housing.
Halogen bulb: turn the bulb anti-clockwise.
Opening the bonnet /Access to bulbs
With the engine warm, proceed with
caution – risk of burns!
Take care with objects or clothing that
could be caught in the blades of the
cooling fan – risk of strangulation!
After changing a

Procedure for starting the engine using another
battery or charging a
discharged battery.
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.

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.
The battery (-) terminal is not accessible.
A remote earth point is provided at the front of
the vehicle. F

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 plan 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

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 positive (+) red cable to the (+)
terminal of battery A ,
-

t
he negative (-) black cable to 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 . 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

c
lose all of the accesses (doors, tailgate,
windows, roof), 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.

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. The Stop & Start system may not be
operational during the trip following the
next 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).
