Rechargeable hybrid
system
Electrical system
The electrical circuit of the rechargeable hybrid
system is identified by orange cables and its
components are marked with this symbol:
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!
In the event of an accident or impact
to the vehicle’s underbody
In these situations, the electrical circuit or the
traction battery can be seriously damaged.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so and switch
off the ignition.
The rechargeable hybrid engine's system
uses a voltage of between 240 V and
400 V. This system may be hot both when the
ignition is on and after switching it off.
Observe the warning messages on the labels
in the vehicle, especially in the flap.
Any work on or modification to the vehicle's
electrical system (battery, connectors, orange
cables and components visible from inside or
outside) is strictly prohibited due to the risk of
serious burns or electrical shock that can lead
to death.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Traction battery
The Li-ion (Lithium-ion) traction battery stores
the electrical energy needed to propel the
vehicle.
It is located under the rear seats.
The traction battery's range varies depending
on the type of driving, the route, the use of
thermal comfort equipment and the ageing of its
components.
In the event of exposure to a fire
Immediately exit and evacuate all
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 a rechargeable hybrid vehicle.
The traction battery ageing depends on
several factors, such as climatic
conditions and the distance travelled.
When washing
In the event of a problem, always contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Before washing the vehicle, always
check that the charging flap is closed
correctly.
