Battery electrolyte
Check and keep the level between the «upper» (maximum) and «lower»
(minimum) marks.
Use demineralized water or special lead battery water only for your battery;
tap water will reduce its life.
When you replace the battery, make sure that the air vent hose is properly in
place and is not blocked or pinched. Please call a PEUGEOT dealer if you
have excessive electrolyte loss.

The charge must be carried out with a suitable battery charger with a maxi-
mum output of 0.4 to 1 ampere ; we recommend that this operation is done
by a dealer.

- Fuse
A fuse protects the electrical equipment against short circuits or circuit
overloads.
It is located in a fuse holder at the side of the battery.
It melts and breaks the circuit if there is a fault in the installation.
- 10A accessory fuse
- 25 A main fuse
Precaution
The fuse only burns out if there is a fault in the electrical circuit.
Please call a PEUGEOT dealer.
Only use standard fuses.
Replace a burnt out fuse by a fuse of the same capacity.
Replacing a fuse with an inappropriate fuse can cause irreversible
damage to the equipment and can even cause safety faults, placing the
user at risk.
