In the event of an accident or
impact under the vehicle or on
one of the charging flaps
In the event of an accident or an impact to the
underbody of the vehicle (for example: contact
with a pole, a raised kerb or other urban
roadside fixture) or in the event of an impact,
even slight, to one of the charging flaps, these
circumstances may have serious repercussions
for your vehicle's electrical system or traction
battery and cause damage to them. Have
your vehicle checked as soon as possible by a
franchised dealer or a qualified workshop.
Never touch the 300 Volt components or the
orange cables exposed and visible inside or
outside of the vehicle.
In the case of serious damage to the traction
battery:
-
d
o not try to do anything to the vehicle
yourself,
-
n
ever touch liquids coming from the traction
battery and in the event of skin contact with
these products, wash abundantly with water
and contact a doctor as soon as possible. In the event of exposure to a fire

your passengers should exit the vehicle
immediately. Never intervene yourself (risk
of electrocution). Contact the emergency
ser vices immediately. Warn them that your
vehicle is electric.
Washing precautions
Never wash the vehicle while the battery is on
charge.
Before washing the vehicle, check that the
access flaps are closed and the cover on each
charging socket is correctly closed.
In order to avoid damaging the electric units,
the use of a high pressure jet wash is strictly
forbidden:
-
u
nder the bonnet,
-
u
nder the vehicle, around the battery packs.
Do not use a pressure greater than 80
bar
when washing the bodywork.
Audible environment
On the outside
The driver must be particularly vigilant when
driving the electric vehicle as it makes very little
noise when moving.
On the inside
While in operation, you may hear noises that
are specific to an electric vehicle, such as:
-
t
he traction battery relays when starting,
-
t
he vacuum pump when braking,
-
t
yre or wind noise from the vehicle when
driving.
When parking on a slope, it is recommended
that you apply the parking brake before putting

Freezing of AdBlue®
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures below
around -11°C.
The SCR system includes a heater for the
AdBlue
® tank, allowing you to continue
driving in all weather conditions.
Topping up with AdBlue®
Before topping up, please read the
following warnings carefully.
Precautions in use
In certain conditions (high ambient
temperature, for example), the risk of ammonia
being released cannot be discounted: do not
inhale the fluid. Ammonia vapour has an irritant
effect on mucous membranes (eyes, nose and
throat).
Keep AdBlue
® out of reach of children, in
its original container or bottle.
Never transfer AdBlue
® to another
container: it would lose its purity.
Use only AdBlue
® liquid that meets the
ISO
22241 standard.
AdBlue
® is a urea-based solution. This fluid is
non-flammable, colourless and odourless (kept
in a cool area).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the
affected area with soap and running water. In
the event of contact with the eyes, immediately
rinse the eyes with large amounts of water
or with an eye wash solution for at least
15
minutes. If a burning sensation or irritation
persists, get medical attention.
If swallowed, immediately rinse the mouth with
clean water and then drink plenty of water.Never dilute AdBlue® with water.
Never pour AdBlue® into the Diesel fuel tank.
Containers or bottles are available from a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
You can also visit a ser vice station
equipped with AdBlue pumps specially
designed for passenger vehicles and light
goods vehicles. Never top up from an AdBlue
® dispenser
reserved for heavy goods vehicles.
Recommendations on storage
AdBlue® freezes below around -11°C and
deteriorates above 25°C. It is recommended
that bottles or containers are stored in a cool
place and protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept
for at least a year.
If the fluid has frozen, it can be used once
it has completely thawed out at ambient
temperature.
Never store bottles or containers of
AdBlue
® in your vehicle.
Do not dispose of AdBlue
® bottles or
containers in the household waste.
Place them in a container provided for
this purpose or take them to your dealer.
