be left unused for more than one month.
The description of the battery charging
procedure is only indicative.
After prolonged battery disconnection, it may be
necessary to reinitialise the following functions:
–

the display parameters (date, time, language,
distance and temperature units),

the stations of the audio system,
–


the central locking.
Some settings are cancelled and must be
entered once again; contact a PEUGEOT

it is recommended that the (-) terminal
of the battery (located under the floor on the
left-hand side, in the cab) be disconnected if the
vehicle is not going to be used for more than 5
days.
Starting using another
battery
Never start the engine by connecting a
battery charger.
Never use a 24 V or higher battery booster.
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

The charging operation must be carried out in a well-ventilated area and away
from naked flames and any sources of sparks
so as to avoid the risk of explosion or fire.
Do not try to recharge a frozen battery: it
must first be thawed to avoid the risk of
explosion. If it has frozen, before charging it,
have the battery checked by a specialist who
will check that the interior components have
not been damaged and that the container is
not cracked, which would involve a risk of
leakage of toxic and corrosive acid.
Perform a slow charge at low amperage for
about 24 hours maximum to avoid damaging
the battery.
The presence of this label, in particular with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a 12 V lead-acid battery with
special technology and specification; the
involvement of a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop is essential when
replacing or disconnecting the battery.
After refitting the battery at a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop, the Stop
& Start system will only be active after a
continuous period of immobilisation of the
vehicle, a period which depends on the
climatic conditions and the state of charge of
the battery (up to about 8 hours).
