Practical information  
Before disconnecting the nozzle from the  
charging connector:  
►ꢀ If the vehicle is unlocked, lock it and then  
unlock it.  
►ꢀ If the vehicle is locked, unlock it.  
The red indicator lamp in the flap goes out to  
confirm that the charging nozzle is unlocked.  
►ꢀ Within 30 seconds, remove the charging  
nozzle.  
Settings  
►ꢀ In the Hybrid touch screen menu, select  
the Charge tab.  
►ꢀ Set the charging start time.  
►ꢀ Press OK.  
The setting is saved in the system.  
You can also programme the deferred  
charging function using a smartphone, via  
the MyDS application.  
For more information on Remotely operable  
features, refer to the corresponding section.  
Use towing devices and their genuine  
wiring harnesses approved by the  
Manufacturer. It is recommended that the  
fitting be performed by a dealer or a qualified  
workshop.  
If not fitted by a dealer, it must still be fitted  
in accordance with the Manufacturer's  
instructions.  
Important: with a motorised tailgate with  
“Hands-Free Tailgate Access“ function, if  
a towing device is fitted outside the dealer  
network, it is essential to visit a dealer or a  
qualified workshop to recalibrate the detection  
system - risk of "Hands-Free Tailgate Access"  
function failure.  
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid functions  
are automatically deactivated if an approved  
towing system is used.  
Domestic charging (mode 2)  
The end of charging is confirmed by the fixed  
lighting of the green CHARGE indicator lamp on  
the control unit and by the fixed lighting of the  
green light guides in the flap.  
►ꢀ After disconnection, remove the protective  
cover from the nozzle and close the charging flap.  
►ꢀ Disconnect the control unit's charging cable  
from the domestic socket.  
Activation  
►ꢀ Connect the vehicle to the desired charging  
equipment.  
►ꢀ Press this button in the flap within one  
minute to activate the system (confirmed  
by the light guides coming on in blue).  
Accelerated charging (mode 3)  
Observe the maximum authorised towable  
weight, indicated on the vehicle's  
registration certificate, the manufacturer's  
label as well as in the Technical data section of  
this guide.  
Complying with the maximum authorised  
nose weight (towball) also includes the use of  
accessories (bicycle carriers, tow boxes, etc.).  
Towing device  
The end of charging is confirmed by the  
Load distribution  
accelerated charging unit (Wallbox) and by the  
fixed lighting of the green light guides in the flap.  
►ꢀ After disconnection, replace the nozzle on the  
charging unit and close the charging flap.  
►ꢀ Distribute the load in the trailer so that  
the heaviest items are as close as possible to  
the axle, and the nose weight approaches the  
maximum permitted without exceeding it.  
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing  
engine performance. The maximum load which  
can be towed must be reduced by 10% per  
1,000 metres of altitude.  
Deferred charging  
By default, charging begins when the nozzle  
is connected. Deferred charging can be  
programmed.  
Observe the legislation in force in the  
country where you are driving.
