High voltage
Before doing any work
on the vehicle, switch
off the ignition ( Readylamp off).

High voltage cables


High voltage cables are routed under the
vehicle (sills); take care not to damage them
when the vehicle is used for off-road activity(such as covering rough ground).

Battery precautions


The high voltage battery must not in anycircumstances be charged from an external 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 removed in an
appropriate manner by a repair workshop,
so that its recycling presents no risk to the environment.
Take care to position lifting equipment(jack, hoist, ...) at the locations provided to avoid damaging the cables.
The volta
ge used for the operation of theelectric motor is in the range 150 to 270 Volts.
Be sure to take account of the warning labels
fitted to the vehicle. Take great care regarding the high voltage andhigh 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 bestarted.
To restar t the hybrid system, contact a
PE
UGEOT dealer.
Never touch, dismantle, remove or replace the high voltage par ts, orangecables or connectors, even in the event of an accident.
