Recharging the main
battery
Two types of charging are available: normal or
fast.
Normal charging is the preferred procedure; it
is carried out via a domestic electricity network.
Fast charging is carried out via a compatible
fast charging point.
Normal charging
* (e.g. for France: Standard NF C 15 -100)During charging
, if you have a
pacemaker or another electric
medical device, you must not
stay inside or close to the
vehicle, the charging cable,
the charging unit or just the
charging point, even for a short
time.
It is crucial to speak to your
doctor and find out about the
precautions to take, and to
respect them. Before making any connection, check that
the electrical installation that you want to
use meets standards* and is compatible
with the amperage of your control unit.
In case of doubt, contact a professional
installer.
There are power points available that are
designed specifically for charging electric
vehicles.
For power points dedicated to charging an
electric vehicle, refer to the corresponding
installation recommendations.
In all cases, it is recommended that
you first have an initial check and then
regular checks on your installation
carried out by a qualified electrician.
In most European countries, PEUGEOT
has established a partnership with a
specialist company that can offer a
check and update of your electrical
installation. For more information, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer.
Use only the original PEUGEOT charging
cable.

As a safety measure, the motor will
not start when the charging cable is
connected to the vehicle's socket.
In addition, any attempt to start during
the charging process will interrupt the
procedure. It will then be necessary to
disconnect and reconnect the charging
plug to continue charging.
If the ancillaries battery is discharged,
charging of the main battery is no longer
possible.
During charging, never do any work under
the bonnet of the vehicle, even with the
ignition off, because the fan could start
operating at any time (risk of physical
injury).
Wait at least one hour after the end of the
charging procedure before doing any work
under the bonnet, because certain areas
could be extremely hot (risk of burns).
After recharging, ensure that the socket
cover and access flap are closed.
Take care to avoid allowing water or
dust to enter the socket, under its cover
or in the charging plug (risk of fire or
electrocution).After removing the charging plug from
the vehicle's socket, do not leave the
cable connected to the wall-mounted
power point (risk of short-circuit or of
electrocution in the event of contact with
or immersion in water).
In the event of an accident or impact on
the vehicle chassis (contact with a raised
kerb, a bollard, an urban roadside fixture,
etc.), the electrical circuit or the main
battery could be damaged. Have your
vehicle checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop.
Never touch the 300
V components or any
orange cables.
In the case of serious damage to the main
battery, never touch any fluids leaking
from this component.
In the event of skin contact, wash
abundantly with water and contact a
doctor as soon as possible. To optimise the ser vice life of the main
battery, recharge it completely every
two weeks.
For a complete charge, follow the normal
charging procedure (domestic electricity
supply) without interruption until it stops
automatically (confirmed by the charging
warning lamp going off in the instrument
panel).
In addition, ever y 3
months, make sure
that you charge the main batter y fully
star ting from a charge level less than
or equal to 2
bars.
Immobilising the vehicle for a long
period
When your vehicle is to be immobilised
for an indeterminate period, carry out
a complete charge of the main battery
every three months (following the normal
charging procedure).
Before carrying out the charging
operation, ensure that the ancillaries
battery is not disconnected or discharged.
For more information on the Ancillaries
battery , refer to the corresponding
section.

Some public charging points have their own charging cable.
In this case, use the cable supplied.
The charge will be limited to 16 A maximum in mode 3, regardless of the power of the charging point.
For more information on charging durations, refer to the Motor and main battery section.
Use of a public charging point for normal charging
Several types of electric socket can be used to charge your vehicle.
Before beginning to charge the vehicle, use the following table to identify the type of socket and obtain the corresponding charging cable.
Domestic socket "Mode 3 – Type 2 " socket "Mode 3 – Type 3 " socket

During fast charging, the vehicle's air
conditioning may start up automatically,
if necessary, to cool the main battery. It
is therefore completely normal to hear
a ventilation noise from the exterior and
to see a puddle of water form under the
vehicle.
Fast charging stops automatically when
the main battery is about 80% charged. It
is possible to achieve a 100% charge by
starting the procedure again. However, the
time required to complete the charge will
be relatively long, as the charging speed
will have slowed down.
The charging warning lamp in the instrument panel
going off indicates that charging is complete.

be necessary to disconnect and reconnect
the charging cable to the vehicle's
socket and then to begin charging again,
following the instructions for use of the
charging point. After recharging, ensure that the socket
cover and access flap are closed.
Take care to avoid allowing water or
dust to enter the socket, under its cover
or in the charging plug (risk of fire or
electrocution).
If the exterior temperature is below 0°C,
charging times may be longer.
If the exterior temperature is below -25°C,
charging may not be possible.
Immobilising the vehicle for a long
period
When your vehicle is to be immobilised
for an indeterminate period, carry out
a complete charge of the main battery
every three months (following the normal

F Check the coolant level and top it up if necessary.
For more information on Checking levels ,
refer to the corresponding section.
During operations in this compartment,
you must obser ve the safety instructions
provided on the labels.
Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with
the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them
up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
Before topping up, make sure that the
fluid conforms to the manufacturer’s
recommendations. Never work in the compartments while
the "Ready" lamp is on or your vehicle is
charging.
When working in the front and rear
compartments, be careful because some
areas of the compartments may be
extremely hot (risk of burns): wait at least
one hour after switching off the vehicle
or until the end of the charging process
before any such work.
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used fluids
with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health
or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used fluids into sewers or
onto the ground.
Take used fluids to a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop and dispose
of them in containers provided for this
purpose.
Front compartment
Brake fluid level
The brake fluid level should be
between the "MIN" and "MA X"
marks. If not, check the brake pad

Rear compartment
Coolant level
The level of this fluid must be
between the "L" (MIN) and "F"
(MA X) marks.
As the cooling system is pressurised, wait at
least one hour after switching off the motor
before carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of burns, unscrew the cap by
two turns to allow the pressure to drop. When
the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.
Changing the fluid
This fluid does not need to be changed.
Checks
Passenger compartment filter
Depending on the environment
(e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving),
replace it twice as often if
necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment filter may
have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle
services.
Ancillaries battery electrolyte
level
To check this level, you must remove the
battery cover.
For more information on the ancillaries
battery , refer to the corresponding section.
The level of this fluid must be between the
"LOWER LEVEL" (MIN) and "UPPER LEVEL"
(MA X) marks.
If necessary, top up with distilled water by
removing the plugs from the battery’s different
compartments.
Check the electrolyte level at least once
a month. Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the
manufacturer's service schedule.
Other wise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop. Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear
For information on checking
brake disc/drum wear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
