Charging the front battery
using a battery charger
For optimum service life of the front battery, it
is essential to maintain an adequate state of
charge.
In some circumstances, it may be necessary to
charge the front battery:
–

using the vehicle mainly for short journeys;
–


if the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
several weeks.
Contact a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified
workshop.
To charge the vehicle's front 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.
►

Switch off the ignition.
►


Switch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, lighting, wipers, etc.).


► Switch off charger B before connecting
the cables to the battery, so as to avoid any
dangerous sparks.
►

Ensure that the charger cables are in good
condition.
►


Lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal, if the
vehicle has one.
►


Connect the cables of charger B

as follows:
•

the positive (+) red cable to the (+) terminal
of battery

A,
•

the negative (-) black cable to earth point C


on the vehicle.
► At 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 verify that the internal components
have not been damaged and that the case
has not cracked, which would mean a risk of
toxic and corrosive acid leaking.
Disconnection /
reconnection of the
batteries
Procedure for disconnecting / reconnecting the
batteries in the event of long-term immobilisation
of the vehicle.
Before disconnecting the batteries:
►

Close all openings (doors, boot, windows,
roof).
►


Switch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, wipers, lighting, etc.),
►


Switch
off the ignition and wait for the READY
indicator lamp to go out.
►

Observe a waiting time of 4 minutes.
