MAINTENANCE OF YOUR 306
Battery
To charge the battery using a battery charger:
- Disconnect the battery, starting with the negative (-) terminal.
- Follow the instructions for use given by the battery charger manufacturer.
- Reconnect starting with the positive (+) terminal.
- Check that the terminals and connectors are clean. If they are covered with sul-
phate deposits (white or greenish deposit), disconnect them and clean them.
To start the vehicle and charge the battery from another battery:
Ensure that the connections are good:
- Connect the red cable to the positive (+) terminals of the two batteries.
- Never disconnect a
terminal when the
engine is running.
- Never charge a battery without
first disconnecting the terminals.
- After every disconnection of the
battery, switch on the ignition
and wait 10 seconds before
starting. If slight difficulties are
experienced after this, please
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
- 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.
Operate the starter, let the engine run.
Wait for the engine to return to idle, and disconnect the cables.
It is advisable to disconnect the battery if the vehicle
is not to be used for a period of more than one month.
