HYBRID SYSTEM
41
The high voltage battery must not in any
circumstances be charged from an ex-
ternal source and must only be handled
by a workshop technician.
There is the risk of serious burns, as
well as electric arcs that could cause
serious injury or even death.
A used Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride)
type high voltage battery must be re-
moved in an appropriate manner by a
repair workshop, so that its recycling
presents no risk to the environment.
High voltage
The voltage used for the operation of
the electric motor is in the range 150 to
270 Volts.
Be sure to take account of the warning
labels fi tted to the vehicle.
Take great care regarding the high voltage
and high temperatures of components
carrying the current.
Emergency cut-off
In the event of an accident, a cut-off
system blocks the high voltage current
and cuts off the fuel pump; your
vehicle can no longer be started.
To restart the hybrid system, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer. Never touch, dismantle, remove or
replace the high voltage parts, cables
(orange in colour) or connectors, even
in the event of an accident.
High voltage cables are routed under
the vehicle (sills); ensure that the vehi-
cle is not used for off-road activity (such
as crossing a ford) which could damage
them.
Before doing any
work on the vehicle,
switch off the ignition
( Ready
lamp off).
Battery precautions
High voltage cables
Take care to position lifting
equipment (jack, hoist, ...) at
the locations provided to avoid
damaging the cables.
DIESEL
ACCESS

Quality of the fuel used for
Diesel engines
The Diesel engines are perfectly com-
patible with biofuels which conform to
current and future European standards
(Diesel fuel which complies with stan-
dard EN 590 mixed with a biofuel which
complies with standard EN 14214)
available at the pumps (containing up
to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
The B30 biofuel can be used in cer-
tain Diesel engines; however, this use
is subject to strict application of the
special servicing conditions. Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or dilut-
ed, domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited
(risk of damage to the engine and fuel
system).
MISFUEL PREVENTION
(DIESEL) *
Mechanical device which prevents fi ll-
ing the tank of a Diesel vehicle with
petrol. It avoids the risk of engine dam-
age that can result from fi lling with the
wrong fuel.
Located in the fi ller neck, the misfuel
prevention device appears when the
fi ller cap is removed.
Operation
When a petrol fi ller nozzle is introduced into
the fuel fi ller neck of your Diesel vehicle, it
comes into contact with the fl ap. The sys-
tem remains closed and prevents fi lling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel
type fi ller nozzle.
It remains possible to use a fuel can to
fi ll the tank; this must be done slowly.
In order to ensure a good fl ow of fuel,
do not place the nozzle of the fuel can in
direct contact with the fl ap of the misfuel
prevention device.
