Advice
For the airbags to be fully effective,
observe the safety recommendations
below.
Adopt a normal and upright sitting position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the occupants
and the airbags (a child, pet, object, etc.), nor
fix or attach anything close to or in the way of
the airbag release trajectory; this could cause
injuries during their deployment.
Never modify the original definition of your
vehicle, particularly in the area directly
around the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen, have the airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag systems must be
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned
are obser ved, a risk of injury or of minor
burns to the head, chest or arms when an
airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out. The
bag inflates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then deflates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via openings
provided for this purpose.Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its
spokes or resting your hands on the centre
part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags
can cause burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or
hit it violently.
Do not fit or attach anything to the steering
wheel or dashboard, this could cause injuries
in case of airbag deployment.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment of the lateral
airbags. For information on the range of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, contact a
PEUGEOT
dealer.
Do not attach anything to or hang anything
from the seat backrests (clothes, etc.) as
this could cause injuries to the thorax or arm
when the lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary. Curtain airbags
Do not attach anything or hang anything to
the roof, as this could cause head injuries
when the curtain airbag is deployed.
If fitted to your vehicle, do not remove the
grab handles installed on the roof, they play a
part in securing the curtain airbags.

Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your
hands on the steering wheel so that you are
ready to react at any time to any eventuality.
As a safety measure, the driver must only carry
out any operations that require close attention
when the vehicle is stationary.
On a long journey, a break every two hours is
strongly recommended.
In bad weather, drive smoothly, anticipate the
need to brake and increase the distance from
other vehicles.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake applied – Risk of overheating and damage to the
braking system!
Never leave a vehicle unsuper vised with
the motor running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the motor running,
apply the parking brake and put the drive
selector into position N or P.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the motor or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.
If you are obliged to drive through water:
-
c
heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 6 inches (15
cm), taking account
of waves that might be generated by other
users,
-
d
rive as slowly as possible. In all cases, do
not exceed 6
mph (10 km/h).
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt about the state of your vehicle,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Recharging the main
battery
Two types of charging are available: normal or
fast.
Normal charging is the preferred procedure; it
is carried out via a domestic electricity network.
Fast charging is carried out via a compatible
fast charging point.
Normal charging
* (e.g. for France: Standard NF C 15 -100)During charging
, if you have a
pacemaker or another electric
medical device, you must not
stay inside or close to the
vehicle, the charging cable,
the charging unit or just the
charging point, even for a short
time.
It is crucial to speak to your
doctor and find out about the
precautions to take, and to
respect them. Before making any connection, check that
the electrical installation that you want to
use meets standards* and is compatible
with the amperage of your control unit.
In case of doubt, contact a professional
installer.
There are power points available that are
designed specifically for charging electric
vehicles.
For power points dedicated to charging an
electric vehicle, refer to the corresponding
installation recommendations.
In all cases, it is recommended that
you first have an initial check and then
regular checks on your installation
carried out by a qualified electrician.
In most European countries, PEUGEOT
has established a partnership with a
specialist company that can offer a
check and update of your electrical
installation. For more information, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer.
Use only the original PEUGEOT charging
cable.

As a safety measure, the motor will
not start when the charging cable is
connected to the vehicle's socket.
In addition, any attempt to start during
the charging process will interrupt the
procedure. It will then be necessary to
disconnect and reconnect the charging
plug to continue charging.
If the ancillaries battery is discharged,
charging of the main battery is no longer
possible.
During charging, never do any work under
the bonnet of the vehicle, even with the
ignition off, because the fan could start
operating at any time (risk of physical
injury).
Wait at least one hour after the end of the
charging procedure before doing any work
under the bonnet, because certain areas
could be extremely hot (risk of burns).
After recharging, ensure that the socket
cover and access flap are closed.
Take care to avoid allowing water or
dust to enter the socket, under its cover
or in the charging plug (risk of fire or
electrocution).After removing the charging plug from
the vehicle's socket, do not leave the
cable connected to the wall-mounted
power point (risk of short-circuit or of
electrocution in the event of contact with
or immersion in water).
In the event of an accident or impact on
the vehicle chassis (contact with a raised
kerb, a bollard, an urban roadside fixture,
etc.), the electrical circuit or the main
battery could be damaged. Have your
vehicle checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop.
Never touch the 300
V components or any
orange cables.
In the case of serious damage to the main
battery, never touch any fluids leaking
from this component.
In the event of skin contact, wash
abundantly with water and contact a
doctor as soon as possible. To optimise the ser vice life of the main
battery, recharge it completely every
two weeks.
For a complete charge, follow the normal
charging procedure (domestic electricity
supply) without interruption until it stops
automatically (confirmed by the charging
warning lamp going off in the instrument
panel).
In addition, ever y 3
months, make sure
that you charge the main batter y fully
star ting from a charge level less than
or equal to 2
bars.
Immobilising the vehicle for a long
period
When your vehicle is to be immobilised
for an indeterminate period, carry out
a complete charge of the main battery
every three months (following the normal
charging procedure).
Before carrying out the charging
operation, ensure that the ancillaries
battery is not disconnected or discharged.
For more information on the Ancillaries
battery , refer to the corresponding
section.
