Safety warnings related to high voltage
Before doing any work on the vehicle, switch off the ignition ( RE ADY lamp off). RE ADY lamp off). RE ADY
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).
Operations on the
battery
The high voltage battery must not in any circumstances be charged from an external power supply and must only be handled by a qualified technician at a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. Incorrect handling may lead to serious burns, as well as electric arcs that could cause serious injury or even death.
Take care to position lifting equipment ( jack, hoist, ...) at the locations provided to avoid damaging the cables.
The voltage used for the operation of the electric motor is in the range 150 to 270 Volts. Do not handle the components of the high voltage system (identified by the orange colour): risk of electrocution and burns!
E m e r g e n c y c u t - o f f
In the event of an accident, a safety system automatically cuts-off the high voltage system and the fuel supply. The HYbrid4 system can no longer be started. You must then contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Never touch, dismantle, remove or replace the high voltage parts, orange cables or connectors, even in the event of an accident.
Be sure to take account of the warning labels present on the vehicle. Battery electrolyte is very corrosive: risk of burns. No sparks or naked flames. Do not burn or heat. Keep out of reach of children. Do not spray or pour fluids: risk of damage to the battery. To avoid any risk to the environment, the high voltage battery must be recycled in an appropriate manner. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Ventilation of the high voltage battery
The high voltage battery has an air cooling system. This comprises an air intake (located on the rear shelf) and a fan (located behind the left hand boot trim).
This ventilation system does not operate at the same speed at all times: it is continuously adjusted to suit the cooling requirements of the battery. The noise of its operation can be heard, particularly at the rear, after the HYbrid4
system is switched off (post-ventilation).
Safety recommendations
Do not obstruct the air intake with objects such as clothes or bags, in order to avoid any risk of the battery overheating, which could cause a loss of per formance of the HYbrid4 system,
even damage to the battery. Do not spill fluids, as this may damage the battery and cause a short-circuit.

Driving
508HY-comp _en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016
To immobilise the vehicle without applying the parking brake, before switching off the ignition, place the gear selector in position A or R . If the battery is flat, it is essential to place a chock against one of the wheels to immobilise the vehicle.
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the HYbrid4 system, place the gear selector in position N. When switching off the HYbrid4 system, the electric parking brake is applied automatically. If the automatic function is deactivated, apply the parking brake manually to immobilise the vehicle.
Operating fault
Creep function
This function facilitates manoeuvring of the vehicle at low speed (when parking, in traffic jams, …). With the HYbrid4 hybrid system active, the vehicle stationary and the parking brake released: press the brake pedal, place the gear selector in position A , Ror M , gradually release the brake pedal. The vehicle moves off immediately and gradually reaches a speed of approximately 6 mph (10 km/h), with pressing the accelerator pedal.
Never leave children unsupervised in the vehicle with the HYbrid4 system active.
For your safety, this function will only be activated if you press the brake pedal when engaging forward drive or reverse. This function is deactivated if the driver's door is opened. To reactivate it, close the door and then press the brake or accelerator pedal.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
With the ignition on, the flashing of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the instrument panel screen, indicates a malfunction of the gearbox.
Before leaving the vehicle, check that the parking brake lamps are on (not flashing) in the instrument panel and in the control lever.

Removing / Refi tting the 12 V battery
This procedure allows you to safely remove the 12 V battery, when needed to change a left hand headlamp bulb.
You can contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to have this done.
Before removing
Place the vehicle in a ventilated area, with free access and preferably on level ground. Apply the parking brake. Place the gear selector in position N . If the vehicle has an alarm, leave the bonnet open to avoid triggering the alarm. Leave at least one window open if parking in a secure area, other wise lock all doors and the boot. If your vehicle has a motorised tailgate, it will not be possible to open it after disconnecting the battery. Switch of the ignition and remove the key. If your vehicle has Keyless Entry and Starting, place the remote control at least 3 metres away. Wait around 6 minutes before disconnecting the battery.

To refit the battery, carry out the removal operations in reverse order and connect the positive (+) terminal last.
After refitting
Check that the battery terminals are secure. Switch on the ignition, without starting the engine. Check that there are no error messages or warning lamps on. If there is any problem, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system reset. Check the correct operation of all openings: doors, boot and windows. After refitting, wait for about 2 minutes. Start the engine.
Check the correct operation of the anti-pinch systems: electric windows and panoramic sunroof. Check the correct operation of the electric parking brake by releasing and applying it again. Switch off the ignition. Get out of the vehicle and check the operation of the remote control. Set: the time, the radio preset stations and the audio settings.
After reconnecting the battery, certain functions may be temporarily
unavailable: air conditioning, navigation.
In all cases, if there is a problem, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
