In the event of a breakdown
Disconnecting the battery
In order to maintain an adequate state
of charge for starting the engine, it is
recommended that the battery be disconnected
if the vehicle is taken out of service for a long
period.
Before disconnecting the battery:
F close all openings (doors, boot, windows,
roof),
If this label is present, it is essential to
use only a 12 V charger to avoid causing
irreversible damage to the electrical
components related to the Stop & Start
system.
F switch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, wipers, lighting, etc.).
F switch off the ignition and wait for four
minutes.
Never try to charge a frozen battery – risk
of explosion!
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.
At the battery, detach the (+) terminal only.
F Switch off charger B before connecting the
cables to the battery, so as to avoid any
dangerous sparks.
F Ensure that the charger cables are in good
condition.

Disconnecting the (+) terminal

one, on the (+) terminal.
F Connect the cables of charger B as follows:
The Stop & Start system may not be
operational during the trip following the
first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be
available again after a continuous
period of immobilisation of the vehicle,
a period which depends on the exterior
temperature and the state of charge of the
battery (up to about 8 hours).
