PRACTICAL INFORMATION

12 V BATTERY

Access to the battery

The battery is located under the bonnet.
To gain access to it:
) open the bonnet using the interior re-

lease lever, then the exterior safety

catch,

) secure the bonnet stay,
) remove the plastic cover on the (+)

terminal.

The presence of this label, in par-

ticular with the Stop & Start system,

indicates the use of a 12 V lead-

acid battery with special technology

and specifi cation; the involvement

of a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed

workshop is essential when replac-

ing or disconnecting the battery.

After refi tting the battery, the Stop &

Start system will only be active after

a continuous period of immobilisa-

tion of the vehicle, a period which

depends on the climatic conditions

and the state of charge of the bat-

tery (up to about 8 hours).

Procedure for starting the engine using

another battery or charging a discharged

battery.

Before doing any work
Immobilise the vehicle: apply the

parking brake, put the gearbox into

neutral (or position P if your vehicle

has an automatic gearbox), then

switch of the ignition.
Check that all electrical systems

are off.
Do not reverse the polarity and use

only a 12 V charger.
Do not disconnect the terminals

while the engine is running.
Do not charge the batteries without

disconnecting the terminals fi rst.

Ensure that the battery posts and

terminals are clean. If covered in

sulphate (white or green deposits),

remove and clean them.

The batteries contain harmful sub-

stances 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.

208

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Do not apply excessive force on the

tab as locking will not be possible if

the clip is not positioned correctly;

start the procedure again.

Starting using another battery

When your vehicle's battery is dis-

charged, the engine can be started

using a slave battery (external or on an-

other vehicle) and jump leads.

Disconnecting the (+) cable
) Raise the locking tab D fully to re-

lease the cable terminal E .

Reconnecting the (+) cable
) Position the open clip E of the cable

on the positive post (+) of the battery.

) Press vertically on the clip E to posi-

tion it correctly on the battery.

) Lock the clip by spreading the position-

ing lug and then lowering the tab D .

First check that the slave battery

has a nominal voltage of 12 V and

a capacity at least equal to that of

the discharged battery.
Do not try to start the engine by

connecting a battery charger.
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal

when the engine is running.

) Connect the red cable to the posi-

tive terminal (+) of the fl at battery A ,

then to the positive terminal (+) of

the slave battery B .

) Connect one end of the green or

black cable to the negative terminal

(-) of the slave battery B (or earth

point on the other vehicle).

) Connect the other end of the green

or black cable to the earth point C

on the broken down vehicle (or on

the engine mounting).

) Start the vehicle with the good bat-

tery 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 straight

away, switch off the ignition and wait

a few moments before trying again.

) Wait until the engine returns to idle

then disconnect the cables in the re-

verse order.

209

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

  Charging
   )   Disconnect the (+) terminal.
  )   Follow the instructions for use pro-

vided by the manufacturer of the

charger.

) Connect the charger's red cable to

the (+) terminal of the battery, then

the black cable to the (-) terminal.

) Once the battery is fully charged,

disconnect the charger cables in re-

verse order.

Charging should be carried out in

a well-ventilated area and away

from naked fl ames and sources of

sparks, so as to avoid any risk of

explosion and fi re.
Do not try to charge a frozen bat-

tery; fi rst thaw it out so as to avoid

the risk of explosion.
If the battery had frozen, before

charging, have it checked by a

PEUGEOT dealer or qualifi ed

workshop who will ensure that

the internal components have not

been damaged and that the casing

is not cracked, which would cause

a leak of toxic and corrosive acid.

Reinitialisation after

reconnection

After any reconnection of the battery,

switch on the ignition and wait at least one

minute before starting, to allow time for the

initialisation of the electronic systems.
By referring to the corresponding sections,

you should set or initialise the following

systems yourself:
- remote

control,

one-touch electric windows,

panoramic sunroof blind,

time and date,

audio and navigation system settings.

Check that no alert message or

warning lamp comes on after

switching on the ignition.
However, if minor problems per-

sist after carrying out these opera-

tions, contact a PEUGEOT dealer

or a qualifi ed workshop.

The Stop & Start battery does not

have to be disconnected for charging.

Charging the battery using

a battery charger

  Before disconnecting
   )   Go to the battery.
  )   Check that the doors and boot are

closed but not locked.

) Switch off the ignition and wait for at

least four minutes.

If the vehicle is to not going to be used for

more than a month, it is recommended

that the battery be disconnected.

When your vehicle's battery is dis-

charged or when the vehicle is to be

out of use for a prolonged period, you

can charge the battery using a battery

charger.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-

fi ed workshop for the specifi cation of

chargers compatible with your battery.

210

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

A fl at battery prevents the engine

from starting (refer to the corre-

sponding section).

If the telephone is being used at this

time:
-

it will be maintained for ten min-

utes with the hands-free kit of your

Peugeot Connect Sound (RD5),

it will be maintained for ten minutes

with the Peugeot Connect Naviga-

tion (RT6) or the Peugeot Connect

Media Navigation (NG4 3D), then

it will transfer to your telephone de-

pending on the telephone model.

System which manages the duration of

use of certain functions to conserve a

suffi cient level of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can

still use functions such as the audio and

telematics system,

windscreen wip-

ers, dipped beam headlamps, courtesy

lamps, etc. for a maximum combined

duration of thirty minutes.
This period may be greatly reduced if

the battery is not fully charged.

Exiting economy mode

These functions are reactivated auto-

matically next time the vehicle is driven.
To restore the use of these functions im-

mediately, start the engine and let it run

for at least fi ve minutes.

Switching to economy mode

Once this time has elapsed, a message

appears in the screen indicating that

the vehicle has switched to economy

mode and the active functions are put

on standby.

LOAD REDUCTION MODE

System which manages the use of cer-

tain functions according to the level of

charge remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the

load reduction function temporarily de-

activates certain functions, such as

the air conditioning, the heated rear

screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivat-

ed automatically as soon as conditions

permit.

TOWING A TRAILER

Your vehicle is primarily designed for

transporting people and luggage, but it

may also be used for towing a trailer.

Driving advice

Side wind
) Take into account the increased

sensitivity to side wind.

Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases

the temperature of the coolant.

Towbar suitable for the attachment of a

trailer with additional lighting and sig-

nalling.

Distribution of loads
) Distribute the load in the trailer so

that the heaviest items are as close

as possible to the axle and the nose

weight approaches the maximum

permitted without exceeding it.

Air density decreases with altitude, thus

reducing engine performance. Above

1 000 metres, the maximum towed load

must be reduced by 10 % for every

1 000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for

details of the weights and towed loads

which apply to your vehicle.

Driving with a trailer places greater de-

mands on the towing vehicle and the

driver must take particular care.

We recommend the use of genuine

PEUGEOT towbars and their har-

nesses that have been tested and

approved from the design stage of

your vehicle, and that the fi tting of the

towbar is entrusted to a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a PEUGEOT

dealer, it is imperative that it is fi tted in

accordance with the vehicle manufac-

turer's instructions.

If your vehicle is fi tted with the

1.6 litre THP 200 hp engine, you

cannot fi t a towbar. The space oc-

cupied by the sport exhaust system

prevents this.

215

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

VERY COLD CLIMATE SCREEN *

Removable protective screen which

prevents the accumulation of snow at

the radiator cooling fan.

Fitting

) Offer up the very cold climate screen

to the front of the lower section of

the front bumper.

) Press around its edge to engage its

fi xing clips one by one.

Do not forget to remove the very

cold climate screen:
- when the ambient temperature

exceeds 10 °C,

- when

towing,

at speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h).

Removal

) Use a screwdriver as a lever to re-

lease each fi xing clip in turn.

As the fan is electrically controlled, its

cooling capacity is not dependent on

the engine speed.
) To lower the engine speed, reduce

your speed.

The maximum towed load on a long in-

cline depends on the gradient and the

ambient temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the cool-

ant temperature.

Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking

distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a

long mountain type of descent, the use

of engine braking is recommended.

Tyres
) Check the tyre pressures of the towing

vehicle and of the trailer, observing the

recommended pressures.

Lighting
) Check the electrical lighting and sig-

nalling on the trailer.

The rear parking sensors will be

deactivated automatically if a gen-

uine PEUGEOT towbar is used.

) If the warning lamp and the

STOP warning lamp come

on, stop the vehicle and

switch off the engine as

soon as possible.

* According to country.

216

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
