8Battery 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.
Petrol engine
Diesel engine
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
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).
►
Connect the other end of the green or black
cable to the earth point
C
.
► Start the engine on the assisting vehicle and
leave it running for a few minutes.
►
Operate the starter on the broken down
vehicle and let the engine run.
If the engine does not start immediately
, switch
off the ignition and wait a few moments before
trying again.
►
W
ait for it to return to idle.
►
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.
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.
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.).
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
