To start and charge the battery
from another battery:
Make sure that the connections are
correct:
– Do not disconnect the
terminals while the
engine is running.
- Connect the red cable to the
positive (+) terminals of both bat-
teries.
- Connect one end of the green or
black cable to the negative (–)
terminal of the auxiliary battery.
- Connect the other end of the
green or black cable to an earth
point on the broken down vehicle
as far as possible from the
battery.
Operate the starter and allow the
engine to run.
– Do not recharge batteries
without first disconnecting the
terminals.

A permanent electrical supply
is necessary for operation of
the electronic systems. If the

on the ignition and wait
10 seconds before starting.
However, if minor disturbances
occur following disconnection
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Wait for the engine to return to idle,
then disconnect the cables.
