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.

Tyre under-inflation
detection
System which automatically checks the
pressures of all four tyres from when the
ignition is switched on.
The pressure sensors are located in the valves
of each tyre.
The system triggers an alert as soon as
it detects a drop in the pressure of one or
more tyres by comparison with the reference
pressure stored in the system. This reference
pressure must be reinitialised after every tyre
pressure adjustment or wheel change.
The system operates provided that the
sensor identifiers have been first logged by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
You can log two sets of tyres (for example:
wheels with "all weather" tyres and wheels with
"winter" tyres).
The tyre under-inflation detection system
is a driving aid which does not replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
F Take your foot off the brake pedal, and the vehicle will move at a low speed to make

seconds.
The flashing of the warning lamp in the
instrument panel confirms that the system has
been reinitialised.
The warning lamp will then go off after driving
for about a hundred metres.
The under-inflation alert can only be relied
on if the reinitialisation of the system has
been done with the pressures in the four
tyres correctly adjusted.
Malfunction
The flashing and then fixed
illumination of the under-inflation
warning lamp indicates a fault with
the system.
In this case, the pressure in the tyres is no
longer monitored.
This alert is also displayed if:
-

o

ne or more wheels is not fitted with a
sensor,
-

t

here is a wireless device using the same
frequency near the vehicle,
-

t

here is snow or ice build-up in the wings or
in the rims,
-

t

he tyre pressure monitoring system battery
charge level is insufficient,
-

t

he wheel sensor identifiers have not been
logged by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop
to have the system checked or,
following a puncture, to have the original
wheel, equipped with a sensor, refitted
with a tyre. Any tyre repair or replacement on a wheel
fitted with this system must be carried
out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If you fit the second set of tyres stored
in the system, the malfunction alert will
appear until this second set is selected in
the configuration menu.
Managing sets of tyres
If you have registered a second set of tyres with
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop,
every time the set of tyres is changed (e.g.
"winter" tyre), select the set you have just
installed in the configuration menu.
Once the new set has been fitted, check
and adjust the pressure to the value stated
on the tyre pressure label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section.
The other set of tyres is selected via the
instrument panel display screen, with the
ignition on and the vehicle stationary.

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.

Practical information

78
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.
Practical information

(Depending on equipment.)If you have a pacemaker or any
other electric medical device,
you must not use fast charging.
Do not approach a fast charging
point. However, if this happens,
leave the area as quickly as
possible.
If necessary, ask another
person to charge your vehicle.
Ensure that the charging point and its
cable are compatible with your vehicle.
