F Check that the charging warning lamp in the instrument panel is
on fixed.
Fast charging stops automatically
when the main battery is around 80%
charged. It is possible to attain a charge
of 100% by restarting the procedure.
However, the time taken by this
additional charge will be relatively long,
as the charging rate is reduced. During fast charging, the vehicle's air
conditioning may start automatically,
if needed to cool the main battery. It is
therefore perfectly normal to hear the
noise of a fan running from outside the
vehicle and to see a puddle of water
form under the vehicle. As a safety measure, the motor will
not start when the charging cable is
connected to the vehicle's socket.
Also, any attempt to start the motor
interrupts the charging procedure. It
will then be necessary to disconnect
and reconnect the charging cable to
the vehicle's socket, then to restart the
charging following the instructions for
using the charging station.If the exterior temperature is below 0
°C,
the charging time may be longer.
If the exterior temperature is below
-25
°C, charging may not be possible.
If this is not the case, charging has not started;
check the operating instructions for the
charging station. The charging warning lamp in the instrument
panel goes off when charging is complete.

After charging, close the charging
socket cover and flap.
Take care to avoid the ingress of water
or dust into the socket, under its cover
or into the charging plug. Risk of fire or
electrocution.
Vehicle out of use for a long
period
When your vehicle is going to be out
of use for a long period, charge the
main battery completely every three
months (following the normal charging
procedure).
Before charging, check that the
12 V battery is not disconnected or
discharged. If this is the case, refer
to the "12 V battery" section for
reconnecting or charging the battery.

The coolant level should be between
the MIN "L" and MA X "F" marks.
Coolant levelAvoid prolonged contact of used fluids
with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to
health and some are very corrosive.
Do not discard used fluids into sewers
or onto the ground.
Take used fluids to a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop (France) or to
an authorised waste disposal site.

Rear compartment
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be changed.
Coolant specification
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations. As the cooling system is pressurised, wait at
least one hour after switching off the motor
and/or the end of the charging cycle before
carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level.
12 V battery electrolyte
level
Remove the battery protective cover to check
this level.
For more information on the 12 V battery, refer
to the corresponding section.
The level of this fluid should be between the
MIN "LOWER LEVEL" and MA X "UPPER
LEVEL" marks.
If necessary, top up using distilled water by
removing the caps of the different battery
compartments.
Check the electrolyte level at least once
per month.

Precautions for
washing
To avoid damaging the electrical
components, the use of a high pressure
jet wash is strictly prohibited:
-

bonnet).
-

u
nder the body.
For washing the bodywork, do not use a
pressure greater than 80 bars. Check - before washing the vehicle -
that the charging flaps and the charging
socket covers (normal and fast charge)
are properly closed. Do not wash the vehicle while the
battery is being recharged.

12 V battery
All of the electrical components of your vehicle
(other than the electric motor, the heating and
the air conditioning) are powered by this 12 V
ancillaries battery.
It is located in the front compartment and is
recharged by the main battery, during phases
of operation ("Ready" lamp on in the instrument
panel) and charging.If the 12 V battery is discharged, it will
not be possible to start the motor and
the main battery cannot be charged. F

Disconnecting the battery is not
recommended.
However, if the vehicle is not to be used
for a prolonged period of more than a
month, it may be necessary, in winter,
to disconnect and store the battery to
avoid the electrolyte freezing.
After prolonged disconnection of the
battery, you must contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop to have
the electronic control unit reinitialised.
