Practical information
Disposal of the traction battery
In the event of a problem
To preserve the mileage of your vehicle
and the durability of your traction battery,
PEUGEOT recommends that you:
The traction battery is designed for the life of the
vehicle if the recommendations of PEUGEOT
are followed.
If it becomes necessary to replace the battery,
contact the PEUGEOT dealer for instructions on
its disposal. Improper disposal carries the risk of
severe burns, electric shock, and damage to the
environment.
In accordance with regulations, PEUGEOT
ensures a second life or recycling of this
component in collaboration with qualified
operators.

All work on or modifications to the
vehicle’s electrical system (including the
traction battery, connectors, purple cables
and other components visible from the interior
or exterior) is strictly prohibited - risk of
severe burns or potentially fatal electric shock
(short-circuit/electrocution)!
► Do not expose the vehicle to temperatures
below -30°C and above +60°C for more
than 24 hours.
► Do not use a generator to recharge your
vehicle's traction battery.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

month
High-pressure washing
To avoid damaging the electrical
components, it is expressly prohibited to
use high-pressure washing in the engine
compartment or under the body.
Do not use a pressure greater than 80 bar
when washing the bodywork.
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).
Carry out the charging procedure for the
traction battery (48V) via the accessory
battery (12V) and the DC/DC converter.
Refer to the 12 V battery/Accessory
batteries section for the charging the
batteries using a battery charger procedure.
Hybrid system

the General recommendations on
electrified vehicles.
Traction battery
Electrical system
The 48 V Li-ion (Lithium-ion) traction battery
stores the electrical energy needed to propel the
vehicle.
The traction battery is automatically charged to
ensure that the charge level is always around
50% of the maximum level, in order to fully
exploit the hybrid functionality and, at the same
time, always have some capacity available for
the energy recovery operation.
It is located under the front left seat.
The traction battery's range varies depending on
the type of driving, the route and the ageing of its
components.
The electrical circuit of the hybrid system is
identified by purple cables and its components
are marked with this symbol:
Rechargeable hybrid or
electric vehicles - Specific
recommendations
These recommendations and specific
information are only applicable to rechargeable
hybrid and electric vehicles.
The hybrid powertrain uses a voltage of 48
V. This system may be hot both when the
ignition is on and after switching it off.
Comply with the warning messages shown on
the labels.
They introduce the control unit (mode 2) required
to carry out the standard charging at home.
The traction battery ageing depends on
several factors, such as climatic conditions
and the distance travelled.
