publication.
For the allocation and position of the fuses,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
12 V battery
Procedure for starting the engine using another
battery or for charging a discharged battery.
Lead-acid starter batteries
These batteries contain harmful substances (sulphuric acid and lead).
They must be disposed of in accordance
with regulations and must never under 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, to avoid
any risk of explosion or fire.
Wash your hands afterwards.
Natural battery discharge
In certain severe climatic conditions
(temperature, humidity), the battery can
discharge after 2 months, even with terminals
disconnected.
To store the vehicle or the battery, use a
location protected from heat and humidity.
Battery power loss
A battery can be discharged due to
power losses:
–

Continuous electrical consumption of a
component (e.g. alarm, anti-theft device).
–


Device powered up when the engine is off
(e.g. audio system, USB charger).
–


Electrical leakage due to poor insulation of
electrical components.
If the power loss cannot be located, contact a
PEUGEOT


dealer or a qualified workshop to
have the vehicle's electrical system checked.
Battery charge check
For batteries with a charge status
indicator, read the value indicated on the
battery directly.
For other types of batteries, the check can be
carried out with a voltmeter:
►

Connect the voltmeter to the battery
terminals (respect the polarities).
►


Read the voltage value.
►


T

urn the main beam headlamps on.
If the battery voltage remains at or above 10
V without rapidly decreasing, the charge is
correct.
If the battery voltage drops quickly or is less
than 10 V, the battery must be recharged or
replaced.
Accessing the battery
The battery is located under the bonnet.

Positive terminal.
(-) Negative terminal (remote earth point).
Starting using another
battery
If the vehicle's battery is flat, the engine can be
started using a backup battery (either external or
from another vehicle) and jump leads or using a
battery booster.
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
each other.
Switch off all electricity-consuming equipment
on both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are well away
from the engine’s moving parts (fan, belt,
etc.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while the
engine is running.

In the event of a breakdown
► Allow the engine to run for at least
30 minutes, with the vehicle stationary, so that
the battery reaches an adequate state of charge.
Driving immediately without having
reached a sufficient level of charge may
affect some of the vehicle's functionalities.
With an automatic gearbox, never try to
start the engine by pushing the vehicle.
Charging the battery using a
battery charger
For optimum service 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:
–

When 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 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 the ignition off.
►


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


Diesel engine

► 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.
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, windows).
► 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.

Disconnecting the (+) terminal

► Depending on equipment, lift the plastic cover
on the (+) terminal.
► Loosen the nut A as much as possible to
unlock the clamp B.
► Remove clamp B by lifting it off.
Reconnecting the (+) terminal
► Loosen the nut A as much as possible.
► Refit the clamp B on the (+) terminal.
► Tighten the nut A to lock the clamp B.
► Depending on equipment, lower the plastic
cover on the (+) terminal.
Do not use force when tightening nut A
as the clamp may be damaged.

Towing the vehicle
Procedure for having your vehicle towed over a
short distance if necessary.
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in the
country where you are driving.
Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is
higher than that of the towed vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of the
towed vehicle and must have a valid driving
licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on
the ground, always use an approved towing
arm; rope and straps are prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When the vehicle is towed with its engine
off, there is no longer braking and steering
assistance.
A professional towing service must be
called if:
–

Broken down on a motorway or main road.
–


Not possible to put
the gearbox into neutral,
unlock the steering, or release the parking
brake.
–

Not possible to tow a vehicle with an
automatic gearbox, with the engine running.
–


T

owing with only two wheels on the ground.
–

Four-wheel drive vehicle.
–


No approved towbar available.
Before towing the vehicle, it is essential
to put the vehicle in free-wheeling mode.
For more information on Changing to free-
wheeling , refer to the corresponding section.
With a manual gearbox, place the gear
lever in neutral.
With an automatic gearbox, place the gear
selector in position N.
Failure to adhere to this instruction may lead
to damage to some braking components and
the lack of braking assistance on restarting
the engine.

(braking, transmission, etc.) and to the
absence of braking assistance the next time
the engine is started.
Automatic gearbox: never tow the vehicle with the driving wheels on the ground
and the engine off.
► Unlock the steering and release the parking
brake.
