In the event of a breakdown

F

Remove the bolts and store them in a clean

place.

F

Remove the wheel.

Stowing the damaged wheel

The damaged wheel can be stowed under
the floor, in the housing for the standard
spare wheel.
To stow an alloy wheel, first remove the
hub cap from the middle of the wheel so
that the fastening device (nut and bolt) can
be put in place.
In the case of a "space-saver" type spare
wheel, the damaged wheel cannot be
stowed under the floor. It must be stowed
in the boot; use a cover to protect the
inside of the boot.

Fitting a wheel

Fastening the spare wheel

If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels,
when tightening the bolts on fitting, it is
normal to notice that the washers do not
come into contact with the spare wheel.
The wheel is secured by the conical
contact of each bolt.

After changing a wheel

Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) when
using a "space-saver" type spare wheel.
Have the tightening of the bolts and the
pressure of the spare wheel checked by a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay.
Have the punctured wheel repaired and
reinstall it on the vehicle as soon as
possible.

In the event of a breakdown

Changing a bulb

The headlamps have polycarbonate
lenses with a protective coating:
F

do not clean them using a dry or

abrasive cloth, nor with a detergent

or solvent product,

F

use a sponge and soapy water or a

pH neutral product,

F

when using a high pressure washer

on persistent marks, do not keep the
lance directed towards the lamps or
their edges for too long, so as not to
damage their protective coating and
seals.

Changing a bulb should only be done after
the headlamp has been switched off for
several minutes (risk of serious burns).
F

Do not touch the bulb directly with

your fingers, use a lint-free cloth.

It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet
(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the
headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a new
bulb with the same type and specification.

In some climate conditions (low
temperature, humidity), the presence
of mist on the internal surface of the
headlamp and rear lamp glass is normal;
this disappears a few minutes after the
lights are switched on.

12 V battery

Procedure for starting the engine using another battery or charging a discharged battery.

General points

Lead-acid starter batteries

Batteries contain harmful substances
such as sulphuric acid and lead.
They must be disposed of in
accordance with regulations and must
not, in any circumstances, be discarded
with household waste.
Take used remote control batteries and
vehicle batteries to a special collection
point.

Protect your eyes and face before
handling the battery.
All operations on the battery must be
carried out in a well ventilated area and
away from naked flames and sources of
sparks, so as to avoid the risk of explosion
or fire.
Wash your hands afterwards.

Versions equipped with Stop & Start are
fitted with a 12 V lead-acid battery of
specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out
only by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

If you have an electronic or automatic
gearbox, never try to start the engine by
pushing the vehicle.

Access to the battery

The battery is located under the bonnet.

To gain access to it:
F

Open the bonnet using the interior release

lever, then the exterior safety catch.

F

Secure the bonnet stay.

F

Remove the plastic cover on the (+)

terminal.

The battery (-) terminal is not accessible. A
remote earth point is located on the engine.

8

173

In the event of a breakdown

Starting using another

battery

When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be started using a slave battery
(external or on another vehicle) and jump lead
cables or a battery booster.

Never try to start the engine by connecting
a battery charger.
Never use a 24 V or higher battery
booster.
Check beforehand that the slave battery
has a nominal voltage of 12 V and a
minimum capacity equal to that of the
discharged battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact
with each other.
Switch off the electrical consumers on
both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, ...).
Ensure that the jump lead cables do not
pass close to moving parts of the engine
(cooling fan, belts, ...).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal when
the engine is running.

F

Raise the plastic cover on the (+) terminal,

if your vehicle has one.

F

Connect the red cable to the positive

terminal (+) of the flat battery

A (at the

metal elbow) then to the positive terminal
(+) of the slave battery

B or the booster.

F

Connect one end of the green or black

cable to the negative terminal (-) of the
slave battery

B or the booster (or earth

point on the other vehicle).

F

Connect the other end of the green or black

cable to the earth point

C on the broken

down vehicle.

F

Start the engine of the vehicle with the

good battery and leave it running for a few
minutes.

F

Operate the starter on the broken down

vehicle and let the engine run.

If the engine does not start straight away,
switch off the ignition and wait a few moments
before trying again.

F

Wait until the engine returns to idle then

disconnect the jump lead cables in the
reverse order.

F

Refit the plastic cover to the (+) terminal, if

your vehicle has one.

F

Allow the engine to run for at least

30 minutes, by driving or with the vehicle
stationary, so that the battery reaches an
adequate state of charge.

Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.

174

In the event of a breakdown

Charging the battery using

a battery charger

For optimum service life of the battery, it is
essential to maintain an adequate state of
charge.
In some circumstances it may be necessary to
charge the battery:
- If you use your vehicle essentially for short

journeys.

- If the vehicle is to be taken off the road for

several weeks.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

If you envisage charging your vehicle's
battery yourself, use only a charger
compatible with lead-based batteries of a
nominal voltage of 12 V.

Follow the instructions for use provided by
the charger manufacturer.
Never reverse polarities.

It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery.

F

Switch off the ignition.

F

Switch off all electricity consuming devices

(audio system, lighting, wipers, etc.).

F

Switch off the 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.

F

Raise the plastic cover, if your vehicle has

one, on the (+) terminal.

F

Connect the charger

B cables as follows:

- The positive (+) red cable to the (+)

terminal of the battery

A.

- The negative (-) black cable to the earth

point

C on the vehicle.

F

At the end of the charging operation, switch

off the charger

B before disconnecting the

cables from the battery

A.

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.

Never try any 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.
