Wiper control stalk
Before operating the wipers in wintry
conditions, clear any snow, ice or frost
from the windscreen and around the wiper
arms and blades.
Do not operate the wipers on a dry
windscreen. In extremely hot or cold
weather, check that the wiper blades are not
stuck to the windscreen before operating the
wipers.
After using an automatic car wash, you may temporarily notice abnormal noises
and poorer wiping performance.
You do not
need to replace the wiper blades.
Front wipers



Raise or lower the control to the desired position
to change the wiping speed.
Fast wiping (heavy rain).
Normal wiping (moderate rain).
Intermittent wiping (proportional to the
speed of the vehicle).
Off.
Single wipe (press down and release).

operate for a pre-determined time.
The screenwash jets are not adjustable. Do not handle them (risk of damage).
To avoid damaging the wiper blades, do not operate the screenwash if the
screenwash reservoir is empty.
Only operate the screenwash if there is no
risk of the fluid freezing on the windscreen
and hindering visibility. During the winter
period, use "very cold climate" rated products.
Never top up with water.

Positive terminal with a quick-release
terminal.
(-) Negative terminal.
As the battery's negative terminal is not
accessible, a remote earth point is located on
the engine.
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.


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

Connect the red cable to the (+) terminal of
flat battery

A (at the metal elbow), then to the
(+) terminal of the backup battery
B or of the
booster.
►

Connect one end of the green or black cable
to the (-) terminal of the backup battery

B or of
the booster (or to an earth point on the assisting
vehicle).
►

►

Disconnect the jump leads in reverse order.
►


Refit the plastic cover to the (+) terminal, if
the vehicle has one.
►


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 functions (e.g.
Stop & Start).
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.

90
In the event of a breakdown
– If the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
several weeks.
Consult 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.).


► 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.
If this label is present, use only a 12 V
charger to avoid causing irreversible
damage to the electrical components.

Disconnecting/reconnecting 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, tailgate, 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
