2020 Peugeot 508 Charging cable

157
Practical information
7► Have a professional check that the
electrical system to be used complies with
applicable standards and is compatible with
the vehicle.
►

Have a professional electrician install
a dedicated domestic power socket or
accelerated charging unit (W

allbox)
compatible with the vehicle.
Use the charging cable supplied with the
vehicle.
(During charging)
Never work under the bonnet:
–

Some areas remain very hot, even an hour
after charging ends - risk of burns!
–


The fan may start at any time - risk of cuts
or strangulation!
After charging
Check that the charging flap is closed.
Do not leave the cable connected to the
domestic power socket - risk of short-circuit
or electrocution in the event of contact with or
immersion in water!
Charging procedure
Connection
► Before charging, check that the gear selector
is in mode P and the ignition is off, otherwise
charging is impossible. ►

Open the charging flap by pressing the push
button and make sure that there are no foreign
bodies on the charging connector
.
The light guides in the flap light up in white.
Domestic charging (mode 2)



► First, connect the charging cable from the
control unit to the domestic socket.
When the connection is made, all of the indicator
lamps on the control unit light up, then only the
POWER
indicator lamp remains on in green.
►

Remove the protective cover from the
charging nozzle.
►


Insert the nozzle in the charging connector
.
The start of charging is confirmed by the flashing
of the green light guides in the flap and the
flashing of the
CHARGE indicator lamp in green
on the control unit. If this is not the case, charging has not
started; restart the procedure ensuring that all
connections are made properly.
The red indicator lamp in the flap comes on to
indicate that the nozzle is locked.
Accelerated charging (mode 3)

► Follow the instructions for use of the
accelerated charging unit (W allbox).
►

Remove the protective cover from the
charging nozzle.
►


Insert the nozzle in the charging connector
.
The start of charging is confirmed by the flashing
of the green light guides in the flap.
If this is not the case, charging has not
started; restart the procedure ensuring that all
connections are made properly.
The red indicator lamp in the flap comes on to
indicate that the nozzle is locked.
Disconnection

158
Practical information
Before disconnecting the nozzle from the
charging connector:
►
If the vehicle is unlocked, lock it and then
unlock it .
►


If the vehicle is locked, unlock it.
The red indicator lamp in the flap goes out to
confirm that the charging nozzle is unlocked.
►


Within
30 seconds, remove the charging
nozzle.
Domestic charging (mode 2)
The end of charging is confirmed by the fixed
lighting of the green CHARGE indicator lamp on
the control unit and by the fixed lighting of the
green light guides in the flap.
►

After disconnection, remove the protective
cover from the nozzle and close the charging
flap.
►


Disconnect the control unit's charging cable
from the domestic socket.
Accelerated charging (mode 3)
The end of charging is confirmed by the
accelerated charging unit (Wallbox) and by the
fixed lighting of the green light guides in the flap.
►

After disconnection, replace the nozzle on the
charging unit and close the charging flap.
Deferred charging
By default, charging begins when the nozzle
is connected. Deferred charging can be
programmed.
Settings
► In the Hybrid touch screen menu,
select the Charge tab.
►

Set the charging start time.
►


Press
OK.
The setting is saved in the system.
You can also programme the deferred charging function using a smartphone, via
the MyPeugeot
application.
For more information on Remotely operable
features , refer to the corresponding section.
Activation
► Connect the vehicle to the desired charging
equipment.
► Press this button in the flap within one
minute to activate the system (confirmed
by the light guides coming on in blue).
Towing device
Load distribution
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to the
axle, and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing
engine performance.
The maximum towable load
must be reduced by 10% per 1,000
metres of
altitude.
Use genuine towing devices and their
wiring harnesses approved by
PEUGEOT. We recommend having them
fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If not fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer, they must
still be fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Important: with a hands-free tailgate, if a
towing device is fitted outside the PEUGEOT
dealer network, it is essential to visit a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
to recalibrate the detection system. Risk of
malfunction of the hands-free function!
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid functions
are automatically deactivated while an
approved towing system is in use.
Comply with the maximum authorised
towable weight, as indicated on your
vehicle's registration certificate, on the
manufacturer's label and in the Technical
data section of this guide.
Complying with the maximum authorised
nose weight (towball weight) also includes
the use of accessories (bicycle carriers,
tow boxes, etc.).
Observe the legislation in force in the
country where you are driving.
Vehicle equipped with motorised
tailgate with hands-free function
To avoid unintentionally opening the tailgate
while operating the towing device:
– Deactivate this function in advance in your
vehicle's configuration menu.
– Or remove the electronic key from the
recognition zone, with the tailgate closed.
Towing device with retractable ball joint
When this towing device is not in use, it is folded
away underneath the rear bumper.
No tools are required to install or stow it.
Before any operation, the vehicle must
be stationary with the parking brake
applied.
The area close to the exhaust pipe may reach
a high temperature: risk of burns!
Vehicle equipped with motorised
tailgate with hands-free function
To avoid unintentional opening of the tailgate,
follow the recommendations on the Towing
device by referring to the corresponding
section.
Unlocking handle
The towball is locked in either the storage
position or the usage position.
The unlocking handle is behind the rear bumper,
protected by a storage case.
To reach the handle:

In the event of a breakdown
Check beforehand that the backup battery
has a nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity
at least equal to that of the discharged
battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact with
each other.
Switch off all electricity-consuming equipment
on both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are well away
from the engine’s moving parts (fan, belt,
etc.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while the
engine is running.

flat battery

A (at the metal elbow), then to the
(+) terminal of the backup battery
B or of the
booster.
► Connect one end of the green or black cable
to the (-) terminal of the backup battery B or of
the booster (or to an earth point on the assisting
vehicle).
►

Connect the other end of the green or black
cable to the earth point


C
.
►

Start the engine on the assisting vehicle and
leave it running for a few minutes.

the battery reaches an adequate state of charge.
Drive cautiously during the first 30
minutes after starting the engine.
With an automatic gearbox, never try to
start the engine by pushing the vehicle.
Charging the battery using a
battery charger
For optimum service life of the battery, it is
essential to maintain an adequate state of
charge.
In some circumstances, it may be necessary to
charge the battery:
–

using the vehicle mainly for short journeys;
–


if the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
several weeks.
Contact a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified
workshop.
To charge the vehicle's battery yourself, use only a charger compatible with
lead-acid batteries with a nominal voltage of
12

V.
Follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the charger.
Never reverse polarities.
It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery.
►

Switch off the ignition.
►


Switch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, lighting, wipers, etc.).

191
In the event of a breakdown
8

► Switch off charger B before connecting
the cables to the battery, so as to avoid any
dangerous sparks.
►

of explosion!
If the battery has frozen, have it checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or by a qualified workshop
who will verify that the internal components
have not been damaged and that the case
has not cracked, which would mean a risk of
toxic and corrosive acid leaking.
Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.
Disconnecting the battery
