Orange warning/indicator lamps
Service
Temporarily on, accompanied by the display of a message.
One or more minor faults, for which there is/are
no specific warning lamp(s), have been detected.
Identify the cause of the fault using the message

Only with BlueHDi Diesel engines.
Engine pre-heating (Diesel)Temporarily on (up to approximately 30 seconds in
severe weather conditions).
When switching on the ignition, if the weather
conditions and the engine temperature make it
necessary.
Wait until the warning lamp goes off before

In the event of a breakdown
approximately 15 minutes before starting the
engine.
If minor problems nevertheless persist following
this operation, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the relevant section, reinitialise
certain equipment:
– Remote control key or electronic key
(depending on version).
– Sunroof and electric blind.
– Electric windows.
– Date and time.
– Preset radio stations.
After reconnecting the battery, the
message "Collision risk detection
system fault" is displayed on the instrument
panel when the ignition is switched on. This
operation is perfectly normal. The message
will disappear while driving.
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 with the
vehicle immobilised, the duration of which
depends on the exterior temperature and the
state of charge of the battery (up to about 8
hours).
► At the end of the charging operation, switch
off charger B
before disconnecting the cables
from battery A.
If this label is present, use only a 12 V
charger to avoid causing irreversible
damage to the electrical components.
24V

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.
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, we recommend
disconnecting the battery if the vehicle is to be
unused for an extended period. Before disconnecting the battery:
►
Close all openings (doors, boot, windows,
roof).
►
Switch off all electricity-consuming devices
(audio system, wipers, lamps, etc.).
►
Switch off the ignition and wait for 4
minutes.
After accessing the battery, it is only necessary
to disconnect the (+) terminal.
Quick-release terminal clamp
Disconnecting the (+) terminal
► Depending on equipment, lift the plastic cover
on the (+) terminal.
►
Raise lever
A
fully to release clamp
B
.
►
Remove clamp
B
by lifting it off.
Reconnecting the (+) terminal
► Raise lever A fully.
► Refit open clamp B on the (+) terminal.
►
Push clamp
B fully down.
►
Lower lever
A
to lock clamp B.
►
Depending on equipment, lower the plastic
cover on the
(+) terminal.
Do not force the lever, as it will not lock
in place 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, to enable the electronic systems to
initialise.
For right-hand drive versions, when the
total distance recorder has reached
62
miles (100 km), you must wait
