104 - PRACTICAL INFORMATION
BATTERY
To charge the battery using a
battery charger:
ECONOMY MODE FUNCTION
After the engine has stopped, certain
functions (windscreen wiper, elec-
tric windows, courtesy lights, audio
equipment, etc.) can only be used for
a combined duration of approximately
thirty minutes, to prevent discharging
the battery.
Once the thirty minutes are over, a
switching to economy mode mes-
sage appears on the multi-function
display and the active functions are
put on standby.
These functions are reactivated au-
tomatically next time the vehicle is
driven.
In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, the engine
must be started and left to run for a
few minutes.
-
Disconnect the battery,
-
Follow the instructions for use
given by the battery charger
manufacturer,
-
Reconnect starting with the
negative (-) terminal,
-
Check that the terminals and
connectors are clean. If they are
covered with sulphate (white or
greenish deposit), disconnect
them and clean them.
-
Wait for 2 minutes
after switching off
the ignition before
disconnecting the
battery.
To start the vehicle from another
battery:
-
-
-
Connect the red cable to the
positive (+) terminals of the
two batteries,
Connect one end of the green
or black cable to the negative (-)
terminal of the slave 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 (for example, right-
hand engine mounting),
The time available to you will then be
double the duration for which the en-
gine is left running. However, this pe-
riod will always be between ive and
thirty minutes.
-
-
Never disconnect a terminal
when the engine is running.
Never charge a battery
without irst disconnecting the
terminals.
Close the windows and the
roof before disconnecting the
battery.
After every reconnection of
the battery, switch on the
ignition and wait 1 minute
before starting to allow the
electronic systems to be
initialised. If slight dificulties
are experienced after this,
please consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.
