In the event of a breakdown
8Charging the front battery using a
battery charger
For optimum service life of the front battery, it
is essential to maintain an adequate state of
charge.
In some circumstances, it may be necessary to
charge the front 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 front 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:
•

Positive (+) red cable to the (+) terminal on
battery

A.
•

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.
Disconnecting/reconnecting the
accessory batteries
Procedure for disconnecting/reconnecting the
accessory batteries in the event of long-term
immobilisation of the vehicle.
Before disconnecting the accessory batteries:

Irrespective of a valid subscription to a
connected service, the remote management
of devices relating to or connected with
the security of devices, and the updating
of software and firmware, will be carried
out when necessary in order to comply
with a legal requirement applicable to the
Manufacturer (e.g. the applicable law in terms
of product liability, the regulations governing
e-call) or when necessary to protect the
respective vital interests of the vehicle's users
and passengers.
The establishment of a secure connection via
radio network and the corresponding remote
updates are not affected by the privacy
settings and are intended to be carried out
after being initialised by the user in response
to a related notification.
The system can notify the receipt of an update
when it is connected to an exterior Wi-Fi network
or a mobile telephone network.
Large updates are downloaded only via the Wi-Fi
network.
The availability of an update is notified on the
screen at the end of the journey with an option
of immediate installation or postponement of
installation.
The installation time is variable and can take
several minutes with a maximum of about 30 minutes. A notification will give an estimate of the
duration and a description of the update.
Update information is available through the
"Settings" application.
Press the "Settings" application.
In the list, select the "Updates" tab.
This button allows you to change the authorisation for automatic downloading
of updates via an exterior Wi-Fi network.
For safety reasons and because it
requires sustained attention on the part
of the driver, the installation must be carried
out with the ignition on but without starting the
engine.
The installation cannot be carried out in the
following cases:
–

engine running.
–


emergency call in progress.
–


insufficient battery level.
–


when charging for electric vehicles.
If an update has failed or has expired, contact a
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Vehicle data recording and privacy
11Vehicle data recording
and privacy
Electronic control units are installed in your
vehicle. These control units process data
received from the vehicle's sensors, for example,
or data they generate themselves or exchange
with each other. Some of these control units are
required for the correct operation of your vehicle,
some others assist you while driving (driving or
manoeuvring aids), while others provide comfort
or infotainment functions.
The following contains general information about
how data is processed within the vehicle.
You will find additional information about the
specific data which is downloaded, stored
and transmitted to third parties and what it is
used for in your vehicle under the keyword
"Data protection". This information is directly
associated with the references for the functions
in question contained in the corresponding
vehicle handbook, or in the general terms and
conditions of sale.
This information is also available online.
Vehicle operating data
The control units process the data used for the
operation of the vehicle.
This data includes, for example:
–
Information about the state of the vehicle
(e.g.

speed, travel time, lateral acceleration,
wheel rotation rate, fastened seat belts display). –

Environmental conditions (e.g.
temperature,
rain sensor, distance sensor).
As a general rule, this data is temporary, is
not stored for longer than one operating cycle
and is only used within the vehicle itself. The
control units often record this data (including the
vehicle's key). This function allows either the
temporary or permanent storage of information
about the state of the vehicle, stresses on
components, servicing requirements, as well as
events and technical errors.
Depending on the vehicle's equipment level, the
data stored is as follows:
–
Operating state of system components
(e.g.
filling level, tyre pressures, battery charge
status).
–
Faults and malfunctions in important system
components (e.g.
lamps, brakes).
–
System reactions in specific driving situations
(e.g.
deployment of an airbag, triggering of
stability control and braking systems).
–
Information about events which have
damaged the vehicle.
–

For electric and rechargeable hybrid vehicles,
the traction battery charge level and the
estimated driving range.
In particular circumstances (e.g.
if the vehicle
has detected a malfunction), it may be necessary
to record data which would otherwise simply not
be stored.
When taking your vehicle in for servicing
(e.g.
repairs, maintenance), the stored operating
data may be read along with the vehicle's identification number and used if necessary.
The personnel working for the servicing network
(e.g.
garages, manufacturers) or third parties
(e.g. roadside assistance agents) may read
the vehicle's data. This also applies to work
carried out under warranty and quality assurance
measures.
This data is generally read via the OBD
(On-Board Diagnostics) port fitted by law to
the vehicle. It is used to report on the technical
state of the vehicle or its components and
facilitates the diagnosis of malfunctions, in
compliance with warranty obligations and for
quality improvement. This data, in particular the
information relating to stress on components,
technical events, operator errors and other
malfunctions, is sent to the Manufacturer, if
necessary, along with the vehicle's identification
number. The Manufacturer's liability may also be
engaged. The Manufacturer may also use the
operating data taken from the vehicle for product
recalls. This data may also be used to check the
customer's warranty and any claims made under
warranty.
Any malfunctions stored in the vehicle may be
reset by an after-sales service company during
servicing or repair work, or at your request. CarM an uals 2 .c o m
