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.

cable to earth point C on the broken down
vehicle.
After each time that the battery has been
reconnected, switch on the ignition and wait

contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

sufficiently charged.

F Disconnect the jump lead cables in reverse
order.
F Refit the plastic cover to the (+) terminal, if
