1. Open the hood:
• Release the hood release lever inside the vehicle.
• Locate the secondary hood release lever in the engine bay and pull it to open the hood fully.
2. Locate the battery:
• The battery is typically mounted in the engine bay, often on the passenger side near the front of the vehicle.
3. Disconnect the negative terminal:
• Use a wrench or socket to loosen and remove the nut or bolt securing the negative terminal (usually marked with a "-" sign) to the battery.
• Be careful not to touch the positive terminal or any other metal parts to avoid an accidental short circuit.
4. Remove the positive terminal:
• Proceed similarly to disconnect the positive terminal (usually marked with a "+" sign) from the battery.
5. Remove the battery hold down:
• Depending on the model, there might be a plastic hold-down bracket securing the battery in place. Unfasten any bolts or clips that hold the bracket and carefully remove it.
6. Lift and replace the battery:
• Carefully lift the old battery out of the engine bay.
• Position the new battery in the same orientation as the old one. Make sure the terminals align properly.
7. Connect the positive terminal:
• Reattach the positive terminal cable to the positive terminal of the new battery and secure it by tightening the nut or bolt.
8. Connect the negative terminal:
• Finally, reconnect the negative terminal cable to the negative terminal of the battery and tighten it securely.
9. Replace the hold-down:
• Reinstall the battery hold-down bracket and secure it, if applicable.
10. Close the hood:
• Gently close the hood of the vehicle and latch it securely.
Now, the battery in your Peugeot 207 should be successfully replaced. It's always recommended to consult your vehicle's owner's manual or refer to a professional for guidance if you are unsure about any step during this process.
