* Depending on engine.
Closing
► Hold the bonnet and pull out the stay from the
support slot.
►
Clip the stay in its housing.
►
Lower the bonnet and release it near the end
of its travel.
►
Pull on the bonnet to check that it is locked
correctly
.
Because of the presence of electrical
equipment under the bonnet, it is strongly
recommended that exposure to water (rain,
washing, etc.) be limited.

The extraction tweezers are located in the
fusebox.
► Unclip the first cover by pulling the upper
part, then tilt and remove the cover completely .
►
Unclip the second cover by pressing clip

ake the tweezers from their housing.
Changing a fuse
Before changing a fuse:
► Identify the cause of the fault and fix it.
►
Switch off all power consumption.
►
Immobilise the vehicle and switch off the
ignition.
►
Identify the defective fuse using the current
allocation tables and diagrams.
T
o replace a fuse, it is essential to:
►
Use the special tweezers to extract the fuse
from its housing and check the condition of its
filament.
►
Always replace the failed fuse with a fuse of
the same rating (same colour); use of a different
rating may cause malfunctions - risk of fire!
If the fault recurs soon after replacing a fuse,
have the electrical system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
The fuse allocation tables and the corresponding diagrams are available
from a PEUGEOT dealer or from a qualified
workshop.
The replacement of a fuse not shown in the allocation tables may cause a serious
malfunction of the vehicle. Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

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.

For access to the (+) terminal:
► Release the bonnet by pulling the internal
release lever, then the external safety catch.
► Raise 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
