Practical information

drained and ﬁlled with the correct fuel before

starting the engine.

It remains possible to use a fuel jerrycan

to ﬁll the tank.

The vehicle is ﬁtted with a catalytic converter, a

device which helps to reduce the level of harmful

emissions in the exhaust gases.

For petrol engines, you must use unleaded

fuel.

Travelling abroad

As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be

diﬀerent in other countries, the presence

of the misfuel prevention device may make

refuelling impossible.

Before travelling abroad, it is advisable to

check with a PEUGEOT dealer if the vehicle

is suitable for the distribution equipment of the

countries visited.

The ﬁller neck is narrower, admitting unleaded

petrol nozzles only.

Misfuel prevention (Diesel)

(Depending on country of sale.)

► With the vehicle unlocked, press the rear-

central part of the ﬁller ﬂap to open it.

► Take care to select the pump that delivers the

correct fuel type for the vehicle's engine (see a

reminder label on the inside of the ﬁller ﬂap).

► Turn the ﬁller cap to the left.

► Remove the ﬁller cap and hang it on its

carrier (on the ﬁller ﬂap).

► Introduce the ﬁller nozzle and push it in as

far as possible before starting to refuel (risk of

blowback).

This mechanical device prevents ﬁlling the tank

of a Diesel vehicle with petrol.

Located in the ﬁller neck, the misfuel prevention

device appears when the ﬁller cap is removed.

Charging system

(Electric)

Operation

400 V electrical system

The electrical system, which operates at a

voltage of approximately 400 V, is identiﬁed by

orange cables, and its components are marked

with this symbol:

► Fill the tank.

Do not continue past the third cut-oﬀ of the

nozzle, as this may cause malfunctions.

► Reﬁt the ﬁller cap.

► Turn it to the right.

► Push the ﬁller ﬂap to close it.

When a petrol ﬁller nozzle is inserted into the

fuel ﬁller neck of a Diesel vehicle, it comes into

contact with the ﬂap. The system remains closed

and prevents ﬁlling.

If you have put in the wrong fuel for the

vehicle, you must have the fuel tank

Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type

ﬁller nozzle.

Practical information

This label is intended solely for use by

ﬁreﬁghters responding to an incident

involving the vehicle and for maintenance

technicians.

High-pressure washing

To avoid damaging electrical

components, it is expressly prohibited to use

high-pressure washing to clean the front

compartment or the vehicle underbody.

Do not use a pressure greater than 80 bar

when washing the bodywork.

In the event of an accident or impact

The electrical system or the traction

battery may be seriously damaged in the

event of an accident or impact involving the

vehicle underbody.

Stop as soon as it is safe to do so and switch

oﬀ the ignition.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁed

workshop without delay.

Never allow water or dust to enter the

connector or charging nozzle - risk of

electrocution or ﬁre!

Never connect / disconnect the charging

nozzle or cable with wet hands - risk of

electrocution!

An electric vehicle’s power train can

become hot during use and after

switching oﬀ the ignition.

Observe the warning messages shown on

labels, particularly inside the ﬂap.

In the event of exposure to a ﬁre

Immediately exit and evacuate all

All work on or modiﬁcations to the vehicle’s

electrical system (including the traction

battery, connectors, orange 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)!

Traction battery

This battery stores the energy that powers

the electric motor and the thermal comfort

equipment in the passenger compartment. It is

discharged during use, and must therefore be

regularly recharged. There is no need to wait

for the traction battery to fall to its reserve level

before recharging.

Battery life may vary according to the type of

driving, the route, thermal comfort equipment

usage and battery component ageing.

passengers from the vehicle. Never attempt

to ﬁght the ﬁre yourself - risk of electrocution!

You must immediately contact the emergency

services, informing them that the incident

involves an electric vehicle.

In the event of a problem, always contact a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁed workshop.

When washing

Before washing the vehicle, always

check that the charging ﬂap is closed

correctly.

The traction battery ageing process is

inﬂuenced by multiple factors, including

climate conditions, the distance travelled and

how often it has been fast-charged.

Never wash the vehicle while the battery is

on charge.

142

Practical information

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁed

workshop for more information and to obtain

suitable charging cables.

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.
