(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.

During fast charging, the vehicle's air
conditioning may start up automatically,
if necessary, to cool the main battery. It
is therefore completely normal to hear
a ventilation noise from the exterior and
to see a puddle of water form under the
vehicle.
Fast charging stops automatically when
the main battery is about 80% charged. It
is possible to achieve a 100% charge by
starting the procedure again. However, the
time required to complete the charge will
be relatively long, as the charging speed
will have slowed down.
The charging warning lamp in the instrument panel
going off indicates that charging is complete.
F Disconnect the charging cable following the instructions for use of the charging point.
F
C
lose the socket cover, then the access
flap.
As a safety measure, the engine will
not start when the charging cable is
connected to the vehicle's socket.
In addition, any attempt to start during
charging will interrupt the procedure. It will
be necessary to disconnect and reconnect
the charging cable to the vehicle's
socket and then to begin charging again,
following the instructions for use of the
charging point. 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).
If the exterior temperature is below 0°C,
charging times may be longer.
If the exterior temperature is below -25°C,
charging may not be possible.
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.
Snow chains
The snow chains must be fitted only to the rear
wheels (rear wheel drive car).
Take account of the legislation in force in
your country on the use of snow chains
and the maximum authorised speed.
Installation tips

Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow, to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and the
road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted with
alloy wheels, check that no part of the
chain or its fixings is in contact with the
wheel rim.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:

F Check the coolant level and top it up if necessary.
For more information on Checking levels ,
refer to the corresponding section.
During operations in this compartment,
you must obser ve the safety instructions
provided on the labels.
Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with
the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them
up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
Before topping up, make sure that the
fluid conforms to the manufacturer’s
recommendations. Never work in the compartments while
the "Ready" lamp is on or your vehicle is
charging.
When working in the front and rear
compartments, be careful because some
areas of the compartments may be
extremely hot (risk of burns): wait at least
one hour after switching off the vehicle
or until the end of the charging process
before any such work.
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used fluids
with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health
or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used fluids into sewers or
onto the ground.
Take used fluids to a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop and dispose
of them in containers provided for this
purpose.
Front compartment
Brake fluid level
The brake fluid level should be
between the "MIN" and "MA X"
marks. If not, check the brake pad
w e a r.
Heating system fluid level
The fluid level should be between the marks "L"
(MIN) and "F" (MA X).
Changing the fluid
This fluid does not need to be changed.
Screenwash fluid level
Top up the level when necessary.
If a level drops significantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Fluid specification
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this fluid must not be topped up or replaced
with plain water.

Rear compartment
Coolant level
The level of this fluid must be
between the "L" (MIN) and "F"
(MA X) marks.
As the cooling system is pressurised, wait at
least one hour after switching off the motor
before carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of burns, 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.
Changing the fluid
This fluid does not need to be changed.
Checks
Passenger compartment filter
Depending on the environment
(e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving),
replace it twice as often if
necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment filter may
have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle
services.
Ancillaries battery electrolyte
level
To check this level, you must remove the
battery cover.
For more information on the ancillaries
battery , refer to the corresponding section.
The level of this fluid must be between the
"LOWER LEVEL" (MIN) and "UPPER LEVEL"
(MA X) marks.
If necessary, top up with distilled water by
removing the plugs from the battery’s different
compartments.
Check the electrolyte level at least once
a month. Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the
manufacturer's service schedule.
Other wise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop. Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear
For information on checking
brake disc/drum wear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must
be checked, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in the
braking system, PEUGEOT selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
Changing a wiper blade
Removing front or rear
wiper blades
F Raise the corresponding wiper arm.
F T ake off the wiper blade by sliding it to the
outside.
Fitting front or rear wipers

C
arefully lower the wiper arm.
Washing precautions
Never wash the vehicle while the battery
is on charge.
Before washing the vehicle, check that
the access flaps and the charging socket
covers (normal and fast) are closed
properly.
In order to avoid damaging the electric
units, the use of a high pressure jet wash
is strictly forbidden:
-
u
nder the bonnet,
-
u
nder the chassis.
Do not use a pressure greater than
80
bars when washing the bodywork.

Ancillaries battery
All of the electrical components on your vehicle
(with the exception of the electric motor, the
heating and the air conditioning) are powered
by the ancillaries battery.
It is located in the front compartment under
the bonnet and is charged by the main battery
during phases of operation ("Ready" lamp on in
the instrument panel) and charging.If the ancillaries battery is discharged,
the electric motor cannot be started and
charging of the main battery is no longer
possible.
It is not recommended to disconnect the
battery.
However, during a prolonged period of
more than one month without using your
vehicle, it may be necessary, in winter,
to disconnect the battery and store it to
prevent the electrolyte freezing.
After prolonged disconnection of the
battery, you must consult a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop in order to
have the electronic computer reset.
