In the event of a breakdown
8► 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.
–
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.
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). CarM an uals 2 .c o m

In the event of a breakdown
► 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.
►
T
ighten 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.
Following reconnection
After reconnecting the battery, turn on the
ignition and wait 1 minute before starting the
engine, to enable the electronic systems to
initialise.
If minor problems nevertheless persist following
this operation, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the relevant section, reinitialise
certain equipment:
–
Remote control key or electronic key
(depending on version).
–
Electric windows.
–
Date and time.
–
Preset radio stations.
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. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Towing your vehicle
Access to the front hooks
The tow hooks are located under the front
bumper.
To be towed:
►
Securely install cables or chains to the tow
hooks.
►
Put the gearbox into neutral.
Failure to observe this instruction could
result in damage to certain components
(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.
►
Depending on version, place the transmission
selector in the 2H position (2-wheel drive).
► Switch on the hazard warning lamps on both
vehicles.
►
Move off gently
, drive slowly and only for a
short distance.
Never use the front hooks to tow another
broken down or stuck vehicle.
Do not tow the vehicle by the rear bumper.
The vehicle must be towed on tarmac and
hard roads. The vehicle must be towed for a
short distance and at a speed not exceeding
19 mph (30 km/h). CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Engines
The engine characteristics are given in the
vehicle's registration document, as well as in
sales brochures.
Only the values available at the time of
publication are presented in the tables.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to obtain missing values.
The maximum power corresponds to the value type-approved on a test bed, under
conditions defined by legislation.
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Weights and towed loads
The weights and towed loads relating to
the vehicle are indicated on the registration
document, as well as in sales brochures.
These values are also indicated on the
manufacturer's plate or label.
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The GTW (Gross Train Weight) and towed load
values indicated are valid up to a maximum
altitude of 1,000 metres. The towed load value
must be reduced by 10% for each additional
1,000 metres of altitude.
The maximum authorised nose weight
corresponds to the weight permitted on the
towball.
When exterior temperatures are high, the
vehicle performance may be limited in
order to protect the engine. When the exterior
temperature is higher than 37°C, reduce the
towed weight.
Towing even with a lightly loaded vehicle can adversely affect its road holding.
Braking distances are increased when towing
a trailer.
When using a vehicle to tow, never exceed
a speed of 62 mph (100
km/h) (observe the
local legislation in force). CarM an uals 2 .c o m
