7Charging the traction
battery (Rechargeable
hybrid)
Principle
For a full charge, follow the charging procedure
without interrupting it, until it stops automatically.
Charging may be performed either immediately
(by default) or deferred.
Deferred charging is set via the touch
screen or the MYPEUGEOT APP
application.
When the vehicle is connected, the following
information is displayed on the instrument panel:
–

T

raction battery charge status (%).
–

Remaining range (miles or km).
–


Estimated charging time (calculation may take
a few seconds).
–


Charging speed (miles or km gained per hour).
After the instrument panel has been put into
standby mode, this information can be displayed
again by unlocking the vehicle or opening a door

.
It is also possible to monitor the charging
progress using the MYPEUGEOT APP
application.
For more information on Remotely
operable additional functions , refer to the
corresponding section.
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.
Low charging / Parking
If the outside temperature is negative,
it is recommended not to park your vehicle
outside for several hours at a low charging
(less than 20%).
Vehicle in storage for more than
1 month
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.
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).
Refer to the 12 V battery/Accessory
batteries - W ith rechargeable hybrid
engines section for the battery disconnection
procedure.
Precautions
Rechargeable hybrid vehicles have
been developed in accordance with the
recommendations for maximum electromagnetic
field limits established by the ICNIRP
(International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection - 1998 Guidelines).
Wearers of pacemakers or equivalent
devices should consult a doctor to
enquire about any applicable precautionary
measures, or contact the manufacturer of their
implanted electronic medical device to check that
it is guaranteed to operate in an environment
compliant with the ICNIRP guidelines.
If in doubt , during charging, do not remain
inside or near the vehicle, near the charging
cable or the charging unit, even for a short time.
Before charging
Depending on the context:
►

Have a professional check that the
electrical system to be used complies with
applicable standards and is compatible with
the vehicle.
►
