Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
object...). This could hamper the operation of
the airbags or injure the occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned
are observed, a risk of injury or of minor
burns to the head, chest or arms when an
airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out. The
bag inflates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then deflates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via openings
provided for this purpose.Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment the lateral
airbags. For information on the range of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, you can
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Refer to the "Accessories" section.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backs (clothing...). This could cause injury
to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is
deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its
spokes or resting your hands on the centre
part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags
can cause burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or
hit it violently.
Do not fit or attach anything to the steering
wheel or dashboard, this could cause
injuries with deployment of the airbags.
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This
could cause injury to the head if the curtain
airbag is deployed.
If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the
grab handles installed on the roof, they play
a part in securing the curtain airbags.

Charging the main battery
F Pull lever 1, located at the bottom of the
dashboard, driver's side, to open the
access flap for the normal charging socket
(right hand side of the vehicle).
Normal charging
Before connecting, check that the
electrical installation you want to use
meets standards* and is compatible
with a current rating of 8A.
In particular, check that the electric
power point is of suitable quality.
There are sockets available that are
specially designed for charging electric
vehicles.
In all cases, it is recommended that
that you first have an initial check
and then regular checks on your
installation by a qualified electrician.
There are two types of charging you can use:
normal or fast.
Normal charging should be used in preference;
it is done from a domestic mains power point.
Fast charging is done at a compatible fast
charging station.

bag provided. This cable has a control unit.
F

C
onnect the charging cable to a compatible
standard power socket. On connecting
the cable, the three POWER , FA U LT and
CHARGING lamps all come on temporarily,
then only green POWER lamp stays on.
Do not use an electrical
extension, multi-gang
socket, adaptor or timer.
* For example, in France the standard is NF C 15 -100.
In the event of damage to or
deterioration of the charging cable or
control unit, do not use it. Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer if in doubt or for a
replacement.
In most European countries, PEUGEOT
has established a partnership with a
specialist company that can check and
bring your electrical installation up to
standard. For more information, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer.

As a safety measure, the motor will
not start when the charging cable is
connected to the vehicle's socket.
Also, any attempt to start the motor
interrupts the charging procedure. It will
then be necessary to disconnect and
reconnect the charging cable plug to
continue charging.After charging, close the charging
socket cover and flap.
Take care to avoid the ingress of water
or dust to the socket and its cover
or the charging plug (risk of fire or
electrocution).
