Practical information

Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp

appears every time the ignition is switched on,

accompanied by the message and the audible

signal. When driving, this message and audible

signal are repeated with increasing frequency as

the fuel level drops towards 0.

Compatibility of fuels

7

Petrol fuels conforming to

the EN228 standard con-

taining up to 5% and 10%

ethanol respectively.

You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid

running out of fuel.

For rechargeable hybrid vehicles only, to

unlock the filler flap, press the flap unlocking

Opening the filler flap may create a noise caused

by an inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely

normal, resulting from the sealing of the fuel

system.

Refuelling

Fuel tank capacity

Petrol / Hybrid approximately 55L and

Rechargeable Hybrid approximately 60L

► Select a pump that delivers the correct fuel

type for the vehicle's engine (see a reminder

label on the inside of the filler flap).

Reserve level: approximately 6 litres.

To refuel in complete safety:

► Always switch off the engine.

Low fuel level

When the low fuel level is reached,

this warning lamp lights up on the

instrument panel, accompanied by the

display of a message and an audible

signal. When it first comes on, about 6 litres of

fuel remain.

169

Practical information

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:

– 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.

Electrified vehicles

- General

recommendations

These recommendations and general

information concern electrified vehicles of the

type: hybrid, rechargeable hybrid and electric.

► Turn the filler cap to the left, remove it

and place it on its support on the filler flap

(depending on version).

High voltage system

► Insert the filler nozzle and push it in as far as

possible before starting to refuel (to minimise

the risk of splashing).

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:

– Never touch the components, damaged

or not, and never let your jewelry or other

metallic objects come into contact with these

components.

– 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.

– Never damage, modify or remove the

high voltage cables (purple or orange) or

disconnect them from the high voltage

network.

► Fill the tank.

Do not continue after the nozzle’s third

cutout. Doing so may cause malfunctions.

– Do not inhale the gases emitted by the

traction battery which are toxic.

– Move away from the vehicle in the event of

incident or accident, the gases emitted being

flammable and could cause a fire.

► Put the filler cap back in place and turn it to

the right (depending on version).

► Push the fuel filler flap to close it.

The vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter,

which helps to reduce the level of harmful

emissions in the exhaust gases.

For petrol engines, you must use unleaded

fuel.

The filler neck is narrower, allowing only

unleaded petrol nozzles to be inserted.

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 open, modify or remove the cover of

the traction battery.

– Never work with cutting and forming tools or

heat sources near high voltage components

and cables.

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.

► After disconnection, replace the nozzle on to

the charging unit and close the charging flap.

As a safety measure, the engine will not

start if the charging cable is plugged into

the connector on the vehicle. A warning is

displayed on the instrument panel.

Charging the traction

battery (Electric)

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).

Disconnect the cable from the (+) terminal

of the accessory battery in the engine

compartment.

Connect a 12 V battery charger to the (+)

and (-) terminals of the accessory battery

about every 3 months in order to recharge the

accessory battery and maintain an operating

voltage.

Principle

Cooling the traction battery

The cooling fan in the engine compartment

comes on during charging to cool the on-

board charger and the traction battery.

For more information, refer to

the General recommendations on

electrified vehicles and the Specific

recommendations on rechargeable hybrid

or electric vehicles.

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.

To recharge, connect the vehicle to a domestic

electricity supply (domestic or accelerated

charging) or to a fast public charger (superfast

charging).

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.

Refer to the 12 V battery/Accessory

batteries section for the battery

disconnection procedure.

Roof bars

As a safety measure and to avoid

damaging the roof, it is essential to

use transverse roof bars approved for your

vehicle.

The transverse bars must only be fixed at the

four anchorage points located on the roof frame.

These points are concealed by the vehicle doors

when the doors are closed.

Storage

This procedure should be considered for

versions without dedicated storage in the boot.

Observe the instructions on fitting and use

contained in the guide supplied with the roof

bars.

The roof bar fixings have a stud which must

be inserted into the opening of each anchorage

point.

Recommendations

Maximum load distributed over the

transverse roof bars, for a loading height

not exceeding 40 cm (except bicycle carrier):

80 kg.

As this value may change, please verify the

maximum load quoted in the guide supplied

with the roof bars.

If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the speed

of the vehicle to the profile of the road to

avoid damaging the roof bars and the fixings

on the vehicle.

Be sure to refer to national legislation in order

to comply with the regulations for transporting

objects that are longer than the vehicle.

Distribute the load uniformly, taking care to

avoid overloading one of the sides.

Arrange the heaviest part of the load as close

as possible to the roof.

Secure the load firmly.

Drive gently: the vehicle will be more

susceptible to the effects of side winds and

its stability may be affected.

Regularly check the security and tight

fastening of the roof bars, at least before

each trip.

Remove the roof bars once they are no

longer needed.

The towball is attached to boot ring with strap.

2 strap loops are made around the towball and

then put into the ring.

The inflation pressure of all tyres,

including the spare wheel, must be

checked on "cold" tyres.The pressures

Brake wear depends on the style

of driving, particularly in the case

of vehicles used in town, over short

distances. It may be necessary to

have the condition of the brakes checked, even

between vehicle services.

Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in

the brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads

more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles (10

kilometres) at over 31 mph (50 km/h), add 0.3

bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the label.

Passenger compartment

filter

Depending on the environment and

the use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty

atmosphere, city driving), change it

twice as often, if necessary.

Under-inflation increases energy

consumption. Non-compliant tyre

pressures cause tyres to wear prematurely

and have an adverse effect on the vehicle's

road holding - risk of accident!

After washing the vehicle, moisture, or

in wintry conditions, ice can form on the

brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may

be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and

defrost them.

Air filter

Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the

braking and road holding performance of the

vehicle. Regularly check the condition of the

tyres (tread and sidewalls) and rims as well as

the presence of the valve caps.

Depending on the environment and

the use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty

atmosphere, city driving), change it

twice as often, if necessary.

Brake disc wear

For any information on checking brake

disc/drum wear, contact a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.

When the wear indicators no longer appear set

back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is

less than 1.6 mm; replace the tyres as soon as 7

possible.

Oil filter

Change the oil filter each time the

engine oil is changed.

Using different size wheels and tyres from those

specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel

rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer

reading and have an adverse effect on road

holding.

Interior

Decals

When washing the vehicle in an automatic

roller-brush car wash, be sure to lock

the doors and, depending on version, move

the electronic key away and deactivate the

"hands-free" function (Hands-Free Tailgate

Access).

(Depending on version)

When washing the vehicle, never use a

water hose or high-pressure jet to clean

the interior.

Do not use a high-pressure washer to

clean the vehicle - risk of damaging or

detaching the decals!

Liquids carried in cups or other open

containers can spill, presenting a risk of

damage to the instruments and controls and

the controls located on the centre console.

Be vigilant! To clean instrument panels, touch

screens or other displays, wipe gently with

a soft, dry cloth. Do not use products (e.g.

alcohol, disinfectant) or soapy water directly

on these surfaces - risk of damage!

When using a pressure washer, keep the jet

nozzle at a minimum distance of 30 cm from

the vehicle (particularly when cleaning areas

containing chipped paint, sensors or seals).

Promptly clean up any stains containing

chemicals liable to damage the vehicle's

paintwork (including tree resin, bird

droppings, insect secretions, pollen and tar).

Depending on the environment, clean the

vehicle frequently to remove salty deposits

(in coastal areas), soot (in industrial areas)

and mud/salts (in wet or cold areas). These

substances can be highly corrosive.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop for advice on removing stubborn

stains requiring special products (such as tar

or insect removers).

Use a high-flow hose (temperature

between 25°C and 40°C).

Place the jet of water perpendicular to the

surface to be cleaned.

Rinse the vehicle with demineralised water.
