HYBRID SYSTEM

The high voltage battery must not in any
circumstances be charged from an ex-
ternal source and must only be handled
by a workshop technician.
There is the risk of serious burns, as
well as electric arcs that could cause
serious injury or even death.
A used Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride)
type high voltage battery must be re-
moved in an appropriate manner by a
repair workshop, so that its recycling
presents no risk to the environment.








High voltage


The voltage used for the operation of
the electric motor is in the range 150 to
270 Volts.
Be sure to take account of the warning
labels fi tted to the vehicle.

Take great care regarding the high voltage
and high temperatures of components
carrying the current.

Emergency cut-off

In the event of an accident, a cut-off
system blocks the high voltage current
and cuts off the fuel pump; your
vehicle can no longer be started.
To restart the hybrid system, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer. Never touch, dismantle, remove or
replace the high voltage parts, cables
(orange in colour) or connectors, even
in the event of an accident.

High voltage cables are routed under
the vehicle (sills); ensure that the vehi-
cle is not used for off-road activity (such
as crossing a ford) which could damage
them.
Before doing any
work on the vehicle,
switch off the ignition
( Ready
lamp off).


Battery precautions

High voltage cables


Take care to position lifting
equipment (jack, hoist, ...) at
the locations provided to avoid
damaging the cables.

This call is dealt with by the PEUGEOT Emergency team which receives
locating information from the vehicle and can send a detailed alert to the
appropriate emergency services. In countries in which the team is not
operational, or when the locating service has been expressly declined,
the call is dealt with directly by the emergency services (112) without the
vehicle location.

If an impact is detected by the airbag ECU, and independently
of the deployment of any airbags, an emergency call is made
automatically.
