In the event of a breakdown

12 V battery

Batteries 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.

Procedure for starting the engine using another
battery or charging a discharged battery.

General points

Lead-acid starter batteries

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.

Access to the battery

The battery is located under the bonnet.

To gain access:
F Open the bonnet using the interior release

lever, then the exterior safety catch.

F Secure the bonnet stay.

F Remove the plastic cover on the (+)

terminal.

The battery (-) terminal is not accessible. A
remote earth point is located on the engine.

Starting using another
battery

Never try to 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 the electrical consumers
on both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are not
close to moving parts of the engine (fan,
belts, etc.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while
the engine is running.

When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be started using a backup battery
(external or from another vehicle) and jump
leads or a battery booster.

179

In the event of a breakdown

F Lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal, if

your vehicle has one.

F Connect the red cable to the positive

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

F Connect one end of the green or black

cable to the negative terminal (-) of backup
battery B or the booster (or an earth point
on the other vehicle).

F Connect the other end of the green or black

cable to earth point C on the broken down
vehicle.

F Start the engine of the vehicle with the

good battery and leave it running for a few
minutes.

F Operate the starter on the broken down

vehicle and let the engine turn.

If the engine does not start straight away,
switch off the ignition and wait a few moments
before trying again.

F Wait until the engine returns to idle then

disconnect the jump lead cables in the
reverse order.

F Refit the plastic cover to the (+) terminal, if

your vehicle has one.

F Allow the engine to run for at least

30 minutes, by driving or with the vehicle
stationary, so that the battery reaches an
adequate state of charge.

Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.

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:
- if you only use your vehicle for short

journeys,

- if the vehicle is to be taken off the road for

several weeks.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

If you plan to charge your vehicle's battery
yourself, use only a charger compatible
with lead-acid batteries of 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.

F Switch off the ignition.
F Switch off all electrical consumers (audio

system, lighting, wipers, etc.).

180

In the event of a breakdown

F Switch off the charger B before connecting

the cables to the battery, so as to avoid any
dangerous sparks.

F Ensure that the charger cables are in good

condition.

F Raise the plastic cover, if your vehicle has

one, on the (+) terminal.

F Connect the charger B cables as follows:

- the positive (+) red cable to the (+)

terminal of the battery A,

- the negative (-) black cable to the earth

point C on the vehicle.

F At the end of the charging operation, switch

off the charger B before disconnecting the
cables from the battery A.

Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.

If this label is present, it is essential to
use only a 12 V 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 check that the internal
components have not been damaged and
that the container has not cracked, which
would mean a risk of toxic and corrosive
acid leaking.

Disconnecting the battery

In order to maintain an adequate state
of charge for starting the engine, it is
recommended that the battery be disconnected
if the vehicle is taken out of service for a long
period.
Before disconnecting the battery:
F close all openings (doors, boot, windows,

roof),

F switch off all electrical consumers (audio

system, wipers, lighting, etc.),

F switch off the ignition and wait for four

minutes.

At the battery, detach the (+) terminal only.

Quick-release terminal clamp

Disconnecting the (+) terminal

F Raise lever A fully to release clamp B.
F Remove clamp B by lifting it off.

181

In the event of a breakdown

Towing

Reconnecting the (+) terminal

F  Raise lever A fully.
F  Refit open clamp B on the (+) terminal.
F  Push clamp B fully down.
F  Lower lever A to lock clamp B.

Do not force the lever as locking will not
be possible if the clamp is not positioned
correctly; start the procedure again.

Following reconnection of the
battery

Following reconnection of the battery, switch on
the ignition and wait 1 minute before starting to
permit initialisation of the electronic systems. If
minor problems nevertheless persist following
this operation, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section, you
must yourself reinitialise (depending on
version):
- the remote control key,
- etc.

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).

Procedure for having your vehicle towed or for
towing another vehicle using the towing eye.

182

In the event of a breakdown

General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in your
country.
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.
In the following cases, you must always
call on a professional recovery service:
- vehicle broken down on a motorway or

main road,

- four-wheel drive vehicle,
- when it is not possible to put the

gearbox into neutral, unlock the
steering, or release the parking brake,

- towing with only two wheels on the

ground,

- where there is no approved towbar

available.

Technical data

Characteristics of engines
and towed loads

Engines

The engine characteristics are given in the
vehicle's registration document, as well as in
sales brochures.

Weights and towed loads

The maximum weights and towed loads for
your vehicle are given in the registration
document, as well as in sales brochures.

These values are also given on the
manufacturer's plate or label.

For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

The GTW values and the towable loads
listed are valid for a maximum altitude of
1,000 metres. The towable load must be
reduced by steps of 10% for each additional
1,000 metres.
The recommended nose weight is the vertical
load on the towbar ball (removable, with or
without tools).

GTW: Gross train weight.

High exterior temperatures may result
in a reduction in the performance of the
vehicle to protect the engine. When the
exterior temperature is higher than 37°C,
limit the towed weight.

Towing using a lightly loaded vehicle can
adversely affect roadholding.
Braking distances are increased when
towing a trailer.
When using a vehicle to tow, never exceed
a speed of 60 mph (100 km/h) (observe
the local legislation in force).

If the exterior temperature is high, it is
recommended that the engine be allowed
to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the vehicle
comes to a stop, to facilitate its cooling.

The maximum power corresponds to the
value type-approved on a test bed, under
conditions defined in European legislation
(Directive 1999/99/EC).

For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
