Practical information
The vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter,
which helps to reduce the level of harmful
emissions in the exhaust gases.
► Do not inhale the gases emitted by the
traction battery which are toxic.
► Never work on the high voltage cables
(purple or orange) or on any other
high voltage component marked with the
Electric risk label. Any intervention on
the high voltage system must be carried
out by qualified persons in workshops
qualified and approved to carry out this
type of work.
► Move away from the vehicle in the event
of incident or accident, the gases emitted
being flammable and could cause a fire.
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide
which is colourless and odourless and yet
dangerous.
Traction battery
Danger of death if inhaled!
Traction battery overheating
For petrol engines, you must use unleaded
fuel.
The filler neck is narrower, allowing only
unleaded petrol nozzles to be inserted.
► Never damage, modify or remove the
high voltage cables (purple or orange) or
disconnect them from the high voltage
network.
If the following warning lamps appear,
accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal, it is
required to:
► Never open, modify or remove the cover
of the traction battery.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for
the vehicle, you must have the fuel tank
drained and filled with the correct fuel
before starting the engine.
► Never work with cutting and forming
tools or heat sources near high voltage
components and cables.
► Stop the vehicle as soon as possible in the
best conditions of safety.
In case of low level of fluid in the cooling
tank, the refilling shall only be performed in
a qualified and trained workshop to verify that
the leakage is not in the traction battery.
Any intervention on the high voltage system
must be carried out by qualified persons in
workshops qualified and approved to carry
out this type of work.
Damage to the vehicle or the traction battery
could result in the leakage of toxic gases or
fluids either immediately or later. PEUGEOT
recommends that you:
► Switch off the ignition.
► Evacuate the vehicle as quickly as possible
and move to a safe distance.
Electrified vehicles
- General
recommendations
These recommendations and general
► Call the fire department and/or the
emergency services and tell them that the
vehicle is an electric one.
information concern electrified vehicles of the
type: hybrid, rechargeable hybrid and electric.
Danger of death / Risk of serious injury
A chain reaction can occur up to a traction
battery fire.
High voltage system
High voltage system voltage is dangerous
and can cause burns or other injuries or
even fatal electric shock.
Since damage to high voltage components is
not visible, PEUGEOT recommends that you:
In the event of damage to the traction
battery
It is strictly prohibited to work on the vehicle
yourself.
Do not touch liquids coming from the battery,
and in the event of skin contact with these
products, wash abundantly with water and
contact a doctor as soon as possible.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
► Always inform the fire and emergency
services in the event of an incident,
warning that the vehicle is equipped with
a traction battery.
► Never touch the liquids leaking from the
traction battery.
► Never touch the components, damaged or
not, and never let your jewelry or other
metallic objects come into contact with
these components.
