200 V HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY 
   
The Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride) type 
200 V high voltage battery is located 
below the boot fl oor, close to the electric 
motor. It is not recharged from a mains 
supply.  
Charging
 
 
This recovery allows the use of "free" 
energy. 
  The battery charging time is very short 
and is continuous. 
  A discharged battery (following ZEV 
running or high load, for example) will 
quickly return to a state of charge suf-
fi cient for full operation of the different 
hybrid modes. 
  The  recharge takes place automati-
cally when driving 
 (Auto mode to be 
used in preference). 
  It can be faster: 
   
 
-   by avoiding sharp acceleration, 
   
-   by recovery on deceleration: it will 
take around 5 minutes on a long de-
scent. 
   
-   it will take around 10 minutes if the 
Diesel engine is left idling (forced 
Diesel engine operation).  
    
The high voltage battery has an air 
cooling system, comprising an air in-
take located under the left hand rear 
seat and a fan behind the left hand boot 
trim panel. 
  This system does not work continuous-
ly, but adapts the force of the ventilation 
to the requirements of the battery. 
  If the air intake is blocked, the battery 
may overheat, damaging the battery 
and causing a loss of performance of 
the hybrid system. VENTILATION FOR THE HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY 
   
For the best use of the high 
voltage battery, please follow 
these recommendations: 
   
 
-  
do not obstruct the air intake with 
loose articles, otherwise, the bat-
tery may overheat, causing a loss of 
performance of the hybrid system 
   
-   do not spill fl uids, as this may 
cause damage to the battery.  
 
 
 
 
The battery is charged when the vehicle 
decelerates, the electric motor then becom-
ing a generator and converts kinetic energy 
into electrical energy (except if the speed of 
the vehicle is above 70 mph (120 km/h)). 
  The battery is not recharged from a mains 
supply.  
 
 
If the high voltage battery does not re-
charge, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.  
     
 
To preserve the service life of 
the battery, the level of charge 
never falls below 10 %, even 
if a level of 0 bars is displayed 
after ZEV running.

CHECKS
160
CHECKING LEVELS 
   
Brake fluid level  
 
On vehicles which are fi  tted with a par-
ticle emission fi lter, the fan may oper-
ate after the vehicle has been switched 
off, even if the engine is cold.   
  In addition, as the cooling system is 
pressurised, wait at least one hour after 
switching off the engine before carrying 
out any work. 
  To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew 
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has 
dropped, remove the cap and top up 
the level. 
   
Oil level 
 
The reading will only be correct 
if the vehicle is on level ground 
and the engine has been off for 
more than 15 minutes. 
  The check is carried out either when the 
ignition is switched on using the oil level 
indicator on the instrument panel, or us-
ing the dipstick.   The brake fl uid level should be 
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is 
not, check the brake pad wear. 
   
Changing the fl uid 
  Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance 
Record for details of the interval for this 
operation.  
 
 
Power steering fluid level 
 
The power steering fl uid  level 
should be close to the "MAX" 
mark. Unscrew the cap, with the 
engine cold, to check the level.   
 
Screenwash and headlamp 
wash fluid 
   
In the case of vehicles fi tted 
with headlamp washers, the 
minimum level of this fl uid  is 
indicated by an audible signal 
and a message on the multi-
function screen. 
  Top up the level when you stop the ve-
hicle.     
Engine oil change 
  Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance 
Record for details of the interval for this 
operation. 
  In order to maintain the reliability of the 
engine and emission control system, 
the use of additives in the engine oil is 
prohibited.     
Oil specifi cation 
  The oil must correspond to your engine 
and conform to the manufacturer's rec-
ommendations.  
 
   
Fluid specifi cation 
  The brake fl uid must conform to the 
manufacturer's recommendations and 
fulfi l the DOT4 standards.  
    
Changing the coolant 
  The coolant does not have to be 
changed.  
   
Fluid specifi cation 
  For optimum cleaning and to avoid 
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped 
up with or replaced with plain water.  
 
 
 
Coolant level 
 
The coolant level should be 
close to the "MAX" mark but 
should never exceed it. 
  When the engine is warm, the tempera-
ture of the coolant is regulated by the 
fan. This can operate with the ignition off.    
Fluid specifi cation 
  The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.  
     
When working under the bon-
net, take care, as certain areas 
of the engine may be extreme-
ly hot (risk of burns).      
 
 
 
 
 
Before doing anything under 
the bonnet, switch off the igni-
tion ( Ready 
 lamp off) to avoid 
any risk of injury resulting from auto-
matic operation of the motor.  
  Check all of these levels regularly and 
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated. 
  If a level drops signifi cantly, have the 
corresponding system checked by a 
PEUGEOT dealer.

TOWING A TRAILER, ...
  Towbar suitable for the attachment of a 
trailer or caravan with additional lighting 
and signalling. 
   
Your vehicle is primarily designed for 
transporting people and luggage, but it 
may also be used for towing a trailer. 
   
Driving advice 
 
The maximum towed load on a long in-
cline depends on the gradient and the 
ambient temperature. 
  In all cases, keep a check on the coolant 
temperature. 
   
Cooling 
  Towing a trailer on a slope increases 
the temperature of the coolant. 
  As the fan is electrically controlled, its 
cooling capacity is not dependent on 
the engine speed. 
   
 
 ) 
  To lower the engine speed, reduce 
your speed.      
Side wind 
   
 
 ) 
 Take into account the increased 
sensitivity to side wind.  
    
Tyres 
   
 
 ) 
  Check the tyre pressures of the tow-
ing vehicle and of the trailer, observ-
ing the recommended pressures.  
     
Braking 
  Towing a trailer increases the braking 
distance.  
  The rear parking sensors will 
be deactivated automatically if 
a genuine PEUGEOT towbar 
is used.  
     
 
 ) 
  If the warning lamp and the 
  STOP 
 warning lamp come 
on, stop the vehicle and 
switch off the engine as 
soon as possible.  
 
 
 
Maximum trailer weight 
 
You must not tow a trailer weighing 
more than 500 kg.     
Distribution of loads 
   
 
 ) 
  Distribute the load in the trailer so 
that the heaviest items are as close 
as possible to the axle and the nose 
weight approaches the maximum 
permitted without exceeding it.  
  Air density decreases with altitude, thus 
reducing engine performance. Above 
1 000 metres, the maximum towed load 
must be reduced by 10 % for every 
1 000 metres of altitude.     Driving with a trailer places greater de-
mands on the towing vehicle and the 
driver must take particular care.  
  We recommend the use of 
genuine PEUGEOT towbars 
and their harnesses that have 
been tested and approved from the 
design stage of your vehicle, and that 
the fi tting of the towbar is entrusted 
to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed 
workshop. 
 
If the trailer is not fi tted by a PEUGEOT 
dealer, it is imperative that it is fi tted  us-
ing the vehicle's electrical pre-equipment, 
in accordance with the manufacturer's in-
structions.
    
Lighting 
   
 
 ) 
  Check the electrical lighting and sig-
nalling on the trailer.      
Refer to the "Technical Data" 
section for details of the 
weights and towed loads 
which apply to your vehicle.
