Charging the traction  
battery (Rechargeable  
hybrid)  
9
In the event of a long period of non-use  
of the vehicle (beyond 4 weeks) without  
the possibility of charging when restarting,  
the self-discharge may make it impossible  
to restart if the traction battery charge level  
is a low or very low, especially at negative  
ambient temperatures. ALWAYS make sure  
that the traction battery has a charge between  
20% and 40% if you do not plan to use your  
vehicle for several weeks.  
Do not connect the charging cable.  
Always park the vehicle in a place with  
temperatures between -10°C and 30°C  
(parking in a place with extreme temperatures  
can damage the traction battery).

For more information, refer to  
the General recommendations on  
electrified vehicles and the Specific  
recommendations on rechargeable hybrid  
or electric vehicles.  
When the vehicle is connected, it is  
possible to switch on the ignition and use  
certain functions such as the audio and  
telematics system and the air conditioning  
system for several hours.  
For a full charge, follow the charging procedure  
without interrupting it, until it stops automatically.  
Charging may be performed either immediately  
(by default) or deferred.  
Low charging / Driving  
Driving when the charge level of the  
traction battery is too low can lead to the  
vehicle breaking down and can lead to  
accidents or serious injuries. ALWAYS make  
sure the traction battery has a sufficient  
charge level.  
Refer to the 12 V battery/Accessory  
batteries section for the battery  
disconnection procedure.  
Deferred charging is set via the touch  
screen or the MYPEUGEOT APP  
application.  
Precautions  
When the vehicle is connected, the following  
information is displayed on the instrument panel:  
Low charging / Parking  
Before charging  
If the outside temperature is negative, it  
is recommended not to park your vehicle  
outside for several hours at a low charging  
(less than 20%).  
Traction battery charge status (%).  
Remaining range (miles or km).  
Estimated charging time (calculation may  
take a few seconds).  
Have a professional check that the  
electrical system to be used complies  
with applicable standards and is  
compatible with the vehicle.  
Have a professional electrician install  
a dedicated domestic power socket  
or accelerated charging unit (Wallbox)  
compatible with the vehicle.  
Charging speed (miles or km gained per  
hour).  
After the instrument panel has been put into  
standby mode, this information can be displayed  
again by unlocking the vehicle or opening a door.

Practical information  
You can also programme the  
deferred charging function using a  
smartphone, via the MYPEUGEOT

During charging  
While charging is in progress, unlocking  
the vehicle will cause the charging to stop.If  
no action is taken on one of the openings  
(door or boot) or on the charging nozzle, the  
vehicle will lock again after 30 seconds and  
charging will resume automatically.  
Never work under the bonnet:  
For more information on Remotely operable  
additional functions, refer to the corresponding  
section.  
First, connect the charging cable from the  
control unit to the domestic socket.  
Activation  
Some areas remain very hot, even an  
hour after charging ends - risk of burns!  
After programming the deferred charging,  
connect the vehicle to the desired charging  
equipment.  
When the connection is made, all of the indicator  
lamps on the control unit light up, then only the  
POWER indicator lamp remains on in green.  
The fan may start at any time - risk of cuts  
or strangulation!  
Remove the protective cover from the  
charging nozzle.  
After charging  
Insert the nozzle into the vehicle's charging  
connector.  
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!  
The start of charging is confirmed by the flashing  
of the green light guides in the flap and the  
flashing of the CHARGE indicator lamp in green  
on the control unit.  
Press this button in the flap within one minute  
to activate the deferred charging (confirmed  
by the light guides coming on in blue).  
If this is not the case, charging has not started;  
restart the procedure, ensuring that all of the  
connections are properly established.  
The red indicator lamp in the flap comes on to  
indicate that the nozzle is locked.

Charging the traction  
battery (Electric)  
Before disconnecting the nozzle from the  
charging connector:  
Cooling the traction battery  
Principle  
The cooling fan in the engine compartment  
comes on during charging to cool the on-  
board charger and the traction battery.  
If the vehicle is locked, unlock it.  
For more information, refer to  
the General recommendations on  
electrified vehicles and the Specific  
recommendations on rechargeable hybrid  
or electric vehicles.  
If the vehicle is unlocked, lock it and then  
unlock it.  
Low charging / Driving  
If selective unlocking of the doors is  
activated, press the unlocking button on  
the remote control twice to disconnect the  
nozzle.  
Driving when the charge level of the  
traction battery is too low can lead to the  
vehicle breaking down and can lead to  
accidents or serious injuries. ALWAYS make  
sure the traction battery has a sufficient  
charge level.  
To recharge, connect the vehicle to a domestic  
electricity supply (domestic or accelerated  
charging) or to a fast public charger (superfast  
charging).  
The red indicator lamp in the flap goes out to  
confirm that the nozzle is unlocked.  
For a full charge, follow the desired charging  
procedure without pausing it, until it ends  
automatically. Charging can be either immediate  
or deferred (except fast public charger, mode 4).  
You can stop domestic or accelerated charging  
at any time by unlocking the vehicle and  
removing the nozzle. For superfast charging,  
refer to the fast public charger.  
Within 30 seconds, remove the charging  
Low charging / Parking  
nozzle.  
If the outside temperature is negative, it  
is recommended not to park your vehicle  
outside for several hours at a low charging  
(less than 20%).  
Domestic charging (mode 2)  
The end of charging is confirmed when the  
green CHARGE indicator lamp on the control  
unit comes on fixed and the green light guides in  
the flap come on fixed.  
For more information on the charging displays  
on the Instrument panel and the Touch screen,
