Hybrid system
High voltage
Before doing any work
on the vehicle, switch
off the ignition ( Readylamp off).

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

Access


























Fuel tank Capacity of the tank: approximately 72 litres.

Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to
be registered by the fuel gauge.Opening the filler cap may result in an inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely normal and results from the sealing of the fuel system.) Take care to select the pump that delivers
the correct fuel t
ype for your vehicle'sengine (reminder on a label on the inside of
the filler flap).) Open the filler cap by turning it a 1/4 turn to
the left. ) Remove the filler cap and hang it on its carrier (on the filler flap).


Opening
If you have put in the wrong fuel for your vehicle, you must have havethe tank drained and refilled with the correct fuel before you start theengine.



- Press the switch.
This control remains active for a fewminutes after switching off the ignition. If necessary, switch the ignition on again toreactivate it.

Refuelling
)
Introduce the nozzle and push it in fully(pushing on the the metal non-return valve A
). AA)
Fill the tank. Do not continue past the thirdcut-off of the nozzle, as this may cause malfunctions. )
Refit the filler cap turning it a 1/4 turn to the
right. ) Push the filler flap to close it.

Your vehicle is
fitted with a catalytic converter,
a device which helps to reduce the level of
harmful emissions in the exhaust gases.
You must switch off theengine by stopping the
hybrid system (the Readylamp must be off) to avoid any automatic restar t of the
engine while refuelling.

Access
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level in the tank isreached, this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible warning and a message
in the instrument panel screen.
Fuel supply cut-off
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device
which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a collision.


It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill
the tank but this must be done slowly. In order to ensure a good flow of fuel, do not place the nozzle of the fuel canin direct contact with the flap of themisfuel prevention device.


Diesel misfuel prevention

Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids the risk of engine damage that can result from filling with the wrong fuel.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention device appears when the filler cap is removed.
When a petrol
filler nozzle is introduced into the fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes
into contact with the flap. The system remains
closed and prevents filling. Do not persist but introduce a Diesel filler
nozzle.

Operation



Tr a v e l l i ng abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different
in other countries, the presence of the misfuel prevention device may make refuellingimpossible.
Before travelling abroad, we recommend that you check with the PEUGEOT dealer network,
whether your vehicle is suitable for the fuelpumps in the country in which you want to
travel.
When it
first comes on, around 7 litresof fuelremain in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out.

DIESEL
Access
Quality of the fuel used for
Diesel engines

The Diesel engines are perfectly compatible
with biofuels which conform to current andfuture European standards (Diesel fuel which complies with standard 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 ser vicing conditions. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The use of an
y other type of (bio)fuel(vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk of
damage to the engine and fuel system).

Checks
On vehicle fitted with HDi engines, the fuelsystem must be primed if you run out of fuel; refer to the corresponding engine compar tment
view.











Running out of fuel (Diesel)


If the tank on your vehicle is fitted witha misfuel prevention device, refer to the "Misfuel prevention (Diesel)" section.
)
Fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of
Diesel.) Open the bonnet.)
If necessary, unclip the style cover for
access to the priming pump. ) Slacken the bleed screw. )
Squeeze and release the priming pump
repeatedly until fuel appears in the
transparent pipe.) Tighten the bleed screw.)
Operate the star ter until the engine starts(if the engine fails to star t at the first
attempt, wait around 15 seconds before
tr
ying again). ) If the engine fails to star t after a few
attempts, operate the priming pump again,
then the starter.) Put the style cover back in position and clip it in place, ensuring that it has clipped correctly. )
Close the bonnet.

2 litre HDi engine


If the engine does not star t first time, don't keep trying. Start the procedureagain from the beginning.







Before doing anything under the bonnet,switch off the ignition (Readylamp off) to avoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of the engine.
