167In the event of a breakdown8Lead-acid starter batteriesBatteries contain harmful substances such as sulphuric acid and lead.They must be disposed of in accordance with regulations and must not, in 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, so as to avoid the risk of explosion or fire.Wash your hands afterwards.Versions equipped with Stop & Start are fitted with a 12 V lead-acid battery with special technology and specifications.It should only be replaced by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.Access to the batteryThe battery is located under the bonnet.►Open the bonnet using the interior release lever, then the exterior safety catch.►Secure the bonnet stay.The battery (-) terminal is not accessible.There is a remote earth point near the battery.For more information on the Bonnet and the Engine, refer to the corresponding sections.Starting using another batteryWhen your vehicle's battery is discharged, the engine can be started using a backup battery (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 24V or higher battery booster.Check beforehand that the backup battery has a nominal voltage of 12V 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 the electrical consumers on both vehicles (audio system, wipers, lighting, etc.).Make sure that the jump leads are not close to the moving parts of the engine (fan, belt, etc.).Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while the engine is running.►Connect the red cable to the (+) terminal of flat batteryA (at the metal elbow), then to the (+) terminal of backup batteryB or the booster.►Connect one end of the green or black cable to the (-) terminal of backup batteryB or the booster (or to an earth point on the assisting vehicle).►Connect the other end of the green or black cable to earth pointC on the broken down vehicle.►Start the engine of the assisting vehicle and leave it running for a few minutes.
168In the event of a breakdownDisconnecting the batteryIn 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 doors, windows and the tailgate and sunroof,►switch off all electricity consuming devices (audio system, wipers, headlamps, etc.),►switch off the ignition and wait for four minutes.At the battery, it is only necessary to disconnect the (+) terminal.Quick-release terminal clampDisconnecting the (+) terminal►Raise the lever A fully to release the clamp B.►Remove the clamp B by lifting it off.Reconnecting the (+) terminal►Operate the starter on the broken down vehicle and let the engine run.If the engine does not start straight away, switch off the ignition and wait a few moments before trying again.►Wait for it to return to idle.►Disconnect the jump leads in reverse order.►Allow the engine to run for at least 30minutes, by driving or with the vehicle stationary, so that the battery reaches an adequate state of charge.To disconnect, proceed in reverse order.Some functions, including Stop & Start, are not available if the battery is not sufficiently charged.Charging the battery using a battery chargerFor 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:–using the vehicle mainly for short journeys;–if the vehicle is to be taken off the road for several weeks.Contact 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 12V.Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the charger.Never reverse polarities.It is not necessary to disconnect the battery.►Switch off the ignition.►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 Con the vehicle.►At the end of the charging operation, switch off charger B before disconnecting the cables from battery A.24v12vIf this label is present, use only a 12V charger to avoid causing irreversible damage to the electrical components related to the Stop & Start system.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 has not cracked, which would mean a risk of toxic and corrosive acid leaking.
169In the event of a breakdown8Disconnecting the batteryIn 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 doors, windows and the tailgate and sunroof,►switch off all electricity consuming devices (audio system, wipers, headlamps, etc.),►switch off the ignition and wait for four minutes.At the battery, it is only necessary to disconnect the (+) terminal.Quick-release terminal clampDisconnecting the (+) terminal►Raise the lever A fully to release the clamp B.►Remove the clamp B by lifting it off.Reconnecting the (+) terminal►Raise the lever A fully.►Replace the open clamp B on the (+)terminal.►Push the clamp B fully down.►Lower the lever A to lock the clamp B.Do not force the lever as it will not be possible to lock the clamp if it is not positioned correctly; start the procedure again.Following reconnectionAfter reconnecting the battery, turn on the ignition and wait 1 minute before starting the engine, to enable the electronic systems to initialise.However, if minor problems persist following this operation, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.Referring to the corresponding section, you must reset certain systems yourself, such as:–the remote control key or the electronic key (depending on version),–the electric windows,–the electric doors,–the date and time,–the radio preset stations.The Stop & Start system may not be operational during the trip following the first engine start.In this case, the system will only be available again after a continuous period of immobilisation of the vehicle, a period which depends on the exterior temperature and the state of charge of the battery (up to about 8 hours).
