In the event of a breakdown

12 V battery

All of the electrical components of your vehicle

(other than the electric motor, the heating and

the air conditioning) are powered by this 12 V

ancillaries battery.

Access to the battery

Disconnecting the battery is not

recommended.

It is located in the front compartment and is

recharged by the main battery, during phases

of operation ("Ready" lamp on in the instrument

panel) and charging.

However, if the vehicle is not to be used

for a prolonged period of more than a

month, it may be necessary, in winter,

to disconnect and store the battery to

avoid the electrolyte freezing.

If the 12 V battery is discharged, it will

not be possible to start the motor and

the main battery cannot be charged.

After prolonged disconnection of the

battery, you must contact a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop to have

the electronic control unit reinitialised.
