Access to the 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 slave battery  
has a nominal voltage of 12 V and  
a minimum capacity 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.).  
The presence of this label, in particular  
with the Stop & Start system, indicates  
the use of a 12 V lead-acid battery with  
special technology and specification; the  
involvement of a PEUGEOT dealer or  
a qualified workshop is essential when  
replacing or disconnecting the battery.  
The battery is located under the bonnet.  
For access to the (+) terminal:  
F unlock the bonnet by activating the internal  
release lever, then the external safety catch.  
F raise the bonnet and secure it with its stay,
