Battery - PEUGEOT 208 Handbook

Practical information

Battery

Procedure for charging your battery when it is flat or for starting the engine using another battery.
The presence of this label indicates
the use of a 12 V lead-acid battery with
special technology and specification, for
which the involvement of a PEUGEOT
dealer or qualified workshop is required
when replacing or disconnecting the
battery.
Failure to observe this recommendation
may cause premature wear of the
battery.
After refitting the battery, the
Stop & Start system will only be active
after several hours depending on
the climatic conditions and the state
of charge of the battery (up to about
8 hours).
