Following reconnection of the
battery
Following reconnection of the battery,
switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute
before starting to permit initialisation of the
electronic systems.
However, if problems remain following this
operation, contact a PeugeOt dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section, you
must reinitialise certain equipment yourself,
such as:
-
the remote control key or the electronic
key (depending on version).
-
the electric blind(s).
-
the electric windows.
-
the date and time.
-
the stored radio stations.
Some functions are not available if the
battery is not sufficiently charged.
Never try to charge a frozen battery.
If the battery has been frozen, have it
checked by a PeugeOt dealer or a
qualified workshop, who will check that
the internal components have not been
damaged and the casing is not cracked,
which could cause a leak of toxic and
corrosive acid.
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).
