battery (Rechargeable
hybrid)
For a full charge, follow the charging procedure
without interrupting it, until it stops automatically.
Charging may be performed either immediately
(by default) or deferred.
Deferred charging is set via the touch
screen or the
MYPEUGEOT APP
application.
When the vehicle is connected, the following
information is displayed on the instrument panel:
–

Status of the battery (%).
–


Remaining range (miles or km).
–


Estimated charging time (calculation may take
a few seconds).
–


Charging speed (kW/h).
After the instrument panel has been put into
standby mode, this information can be displayed
again by unlocking the vehicle or opening a door

.
It is also possible to monitor the charging
progress using the MYPEUGEOT APP
application.
For more information on Remote functions,
refer to the corresponding section.
Lounge mode
When the vehicle is connected, it is
possible to switch on the ignition and use
certain functions such as the audio and
telematics system and the air conditioning
system for several hours.
Vehicle immobilised for 1 to 12
months
Discharge the traction battery down to 2 or
3 bars on the charge level indicator on the
instrument panel.
Do not connect the charging cable.
Always park the vehicle in a place with
temperatures between -10°C and 30°C
(parking in a place with extreme temperatures
can damage the traction battery).
Refer to the Accessory battery
(Rechargeable hybrid) section for the
battery disconnection procedure.
Precautions
Rechargeable hybrid vehicles have
been developed in accordance with the
recommendations for maximum electromagnetic
field limits established by the ICNIRP
(International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection - 1998 Guidelines).
Wearers of pacemakers or equivalent
devices should consult a doctor to
enquire about any applicable precautionary
measures, or contact the manufacturer of their
implanted electronic medical device to check that
it is guaranteed to operate in an environment
compliant with the ICNIRP guidelines.
If in doubt , during charging, do not remain
inside or near the vehicle, near the charging
cable or the charging unit, even for a short time.
Before charging
Depending on the context:
► 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 (Wallbox)
compatible with the vehicle.
Use the charging cable supplied with the
vehicle.
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
(During charging)
As a safety measure, the engine will
not start if the charging cable is plugged into
the connector on the vehicle. A warning is
displayed on the instrument panel.
While charging is in progress, unlocking the
vehicle will cause the charging to stop.
If no action is taken on one of the openings
(door or boot) or on the charging nozzle, the
vehicle will lock again after 30 seconds and
charging will resume automatically.
Never work under the bonnet:
– Some areas remain very hot, even an hour
after charging ends - risk of burns!
