Procedure for charging your battery
when it is fl at or for starting the engine
using another battery.
!
The presence of this label, in par-
ticular with the Stop & Start system,
indicates the use of a 12 V lead-
acid battery with special technology
and specifi cation; the involvement
of a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop is essential when replac-
ing or disconnecting the battery.
Failure to observe this recommen-
dation may cause premature wear
of the battery.

After refi tting the battery, the Stop &
Start system will only be active after
a continuous period of immobilisa-
tion of the vehicle, a period which
depends on the climatic conditions
and the state of charge of the bat-
tery (up to about 8 hours).
