Practical information  
► Have a professional electrician install  
a dedicated domestic power socket or  
accelerated charging unit (Wallbox)  
compatible with the vehicle.  
Use the charging cable supplied with the  
vehicle.  
(During charging)  
Precautions  
Do not remain in or near the vehicle.  
While charging is in progress, opening the  
driver's door will interrupt charging.  
Electric vehicles were developed in accordance  
with the guidelines on maximum electromagnetic  
fields issued by the International Commission  
on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP -  
1998 Guidelines).  
After charging  
Check that the charging flap is closed.  
Wearers of pacemakers or equivalent  
(During charging)  
devices should consult a doctor to enquire  
about any applicable precautionary measures, or  
contact the manufacturer of their implanted  
electronic medical device to check that it is  
guaranteed to operate in an environment  
compliant with the ICNIRP guidelines.  
Never work under the bonnet:  
– Some areas remain very hot, even an hour  
after charging ends - risk of burns!  
– The fan may start at any time - risk of cuts  
or strangulation!  
Connection  
► Before charging, check that the drive selector  
is in mode P and the ignition is off, otherwise  
charging is not possible.  
► Open the charging flap by pressing the  
push-button, and check that there are no foreign  
bodies on the charging connector.  
If in doubt  
After charging  
Domestic or accelerated charging: do  
not remain inside or near the vehicle, or near  
the charging cable or charging unit, even for  
a short time.  
Fast charging: do not use the system  
yourself and avoid approaching public fast  
charging points. Leave the area and ask a  
third party to recharge the vehicle.  
Check that the charging flap is closed.  
Do not leave the cable connected to the  
domestic power socket - risk of short-circuit  
or electrocution in the event of contact with or  
immersion in water!  
Domestic charging  
For fast charging  
Before charging  
For domestic or accelerated charging  
Check that the fast public charger and  
its charging cable are compatible with your

Practical information  
axle, and the nose weight approaches the  
maximum permitted without exceeding it.  
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing  
engine performance. The maximum towable load  
must be reduced by 10% per 1,000 metres of  
altitude.  
Electric motor  
Electric vehicles must never be equipped  
with towing devices.  
It is therefore not possible to tow a trailer or  
caravan.  
When charging is complete, the green CHARGE  
indicator lamp on the control unit comes on fixed.  
► Replace the protective cover on the charging  
nozzle and close the charging flap.  
► Disconnect the control unit end of the  
charging cable from the domestic socket.  
Use genuine towing devices and their  
wiring harnesses approved by  
PEUGEOT. We recommend having them  
fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified  
workshop.  
If not fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer, they must  
still be fitted in accordance with the vehicle  
manufacturer's instructions.  
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid functions  
are automatically deactivated while an  
approved towing system is in use.
