This system does not work continuous-
ly, but adapts the force of the fan cool-
ing 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.
FAN COOLING OF THE HIGHVOLTAGE 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 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.
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 volt-
age and high temperatures of compo-
nents carrying the current.
Before doing any
work on the vehicle,
switch off the ignition
( Ready
lamp off).
High voltage cables are routed under
the vehicle (sills); take care not to dam-
age them when the vehicle is used for
off-road activity (such as covering rough
ground).
Never touch, dismantle, remove or re-
place the high voltage parts, orange
cables or connectors, even in the event
of an accident.
High voltage cables
Take care to position lifting
equipment (jack, hoist, ...) at
the locations provided to avoid
damaging the cables.

the engine is started.
If it does not go off, contact a PEUGEOT

fi xed with the needle
in the red zone. When it fi rst comes on there
remains approximately 6 litres
of fuel in the tank.
At this point, you begin to
use the fuel reserve. Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running
out of fuel.
This warning lamp will come on every
time the ignition is switched on, until a
suffi cient addition of fuel is made.
Fuel tank capacity : approximately 56.5 litres
.
Never continue to drive until you run out
of fuel, as this could damage the emission
control and injection systems.
