High voltage
Before doing any work on
the vehicle, switch off the
ignition ( Ready lamp off).
y
High voltage cables
High voltage cables are routed under the
vehicle (sills); take care not to damage them when the vehicle is used for off-road activity (such as covering rough ground).

Battery precautions

The high voltage battery must not in anycircumstances be charged from an external
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 removed in an
appropriate manner by a repair workshop,so that its recycling presents no risk to the environment.

Take care to position lifting equipment(jack, hoist, ...) at the locations provided to avoid damaging the cables.
The volta
ge used for the operation of theelectric motor is in the range 150 to 270 Volts.
Be sure to take account of the warning labels
fitted to the vehicle.
Take great care regarding the high voltage and high temperatures of components carrying thecurrent.

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 bestarted.
To restar t the hybrid system, contact a
PE
UGEOT dealer.
Never touch, dismantle, remove or replace the high voltage par ts, orange cables or connectors, even in the event of an accident.

Hybrid system







Fan cooling of the high voltage battery
The high voltage battery has an air coolingsystem, comprising an air intake (located on
the rear shelf) and a fan (located behind the
boot trim).
This s
ystem does not work continuously,
but adapts the force of the fan cooling to the requirements of the battery.
Its operation can be heard at the rear, even if
the vehicle is stopped after a run.
If the air intake is blocked, the battery may
overheat, damaging the battery and causing a
loss of performance of the hybrid system.
For the best use of the high voltage battery, please follow these recommendations: - do not obstruct the air intakewith loose articles, otherwise, the battery may overheat, causinga loss of performance of the hybrid system ,- do not spill fluids, as this may causedamage to the battery.
