► Insert the nozzle into the vehicle's charging
connector .
The indicator lamp in the flap comes on fixed to
indicate that the nozzle is locked.
When charging has started, the message
"CHARGING" appears on the display integrated
into the rear view mirror and the level of current
flowing into the traction battery is shown.
If this is not the case, charging has not started.
Depending on the message displayed in the rear
view mirror, proceed as follows:
–
"UNPLUG&PLUG": remove and then reinsert
the nozzle.
–
"WAITING x SEC": wait several seconds until
the message "DC CHARGE READY " appears.
Disconnection
Charging is complete when the message
"CHARGE FULL" is shown on the display
integrated into the rear view mirror.
Before disconnecting the nozzle from the
charging connector:
►
Switch off the current to the charging unit (if
applicable).
or
►
Press the locking button on the remote
control for 5 seconds.
The charging nozzle unlocks (confirmed when
the indicator lamp above the charging connector
goes out).
Accelerated charging, mode 3
When the nozzle is unlocked, the message
"PLUGGED IN" appears in the display integrated
into the rear view mirror.
►
Remove the charging nozzle within 30
seconds
.
If the charging nozzle is not removed
within 30 seconds, it automatically locks
again inside the flap and charging
recommences (the message " CHARGING"
appears on the display integrated into the rear
view mirror).
Superfast charging, mode 4
When the nozzle is unlocked, the message
"CHARGE STOP" appears on the display
integrated into the rear view mirror.
►
W
ait until the message "UNPLUG" appears,
then remove the charging nozzle.
Never try to remove the charging nozzle
when it is locked (indicator lamp on fixed)
- risk of irreversibly damaging the locking
mechanism and preventing charging of the
traction battery!
►
Replace the protective covers over the
charging connector and close the charging flap.
► Disconnect the cable from the charging unit
(if applicable).
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the
vehicle when braking.
The snow chains must be fitted only to the front wheels. They must never be
fitted to "space-saver" type spare wheels.
Observe the legislation in force in your
country on the use of snow chains and
the maximum authorised speed.
Only use chains that have been designed to be
fitted to the type of wheel on the vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size.
205/70 R15 16 mm
215/70 R15 12 mm
225/70 R15 16 mm
215/75 R16 12 mm
225/75 R16 16 mm
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Practical information
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the
braking and road holding performance of the
vehicle. Regularly check the condition of the
tyres (tread and sidewalls) and rims as well as
the presence of the valve caps.
When the wear indicators no longer appear set
back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is
less than 1.6 mm; replace the tyres as soon as
possible.
Using different size wheels and tyres from those
specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel
rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer
reading and have an adverse effect on road
holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime.
Always mark the direction of rotation on the tyres
that will be stored when fitting winter or summer
tyres. Store them in a cool, dry place and away
from direct exposure to the sun's rays.
Winter or 4-seasons tyres can be
identified by this symbol on their
sidewalls.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi
engines)
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the performance or fuel
consumption of its Diesel engines, PEUGEOT
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles
with a system that associates SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) with a Diesel Particle Filter
(DPF) for the treatment of exhaust gases.
SCR system
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of
the nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment.
The AdBlue® is contained in a special
tank holding about 19 litres.
Its capacity allows a driving range of
approximately 2,500 miles (4,000 km), which
may vary considerably depending on your
driving style.
An alert system is triggered once the reserve
level is reached: it is then possible to drive for a
further 1,500 miles (2,400
km) before the tank is
empty and the vehicle is immobilised.
For more information on the Warning
and indicator lamps and the associated
alerts, or the Indicators, please refer to the
corresponding sections.
Once the AdBlue® tank is empty, a device
required by law prevents the engine from
being restarted.
If the SCR system is faulty, the level of
emissions from the vehicle will no longer meet
the Euro 6 standard and the vehicle starts
polluting the environment.
In the event of a confirmed SCR system
malfunction, it is essential to visit a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible. After 250 miles (400 km),
a device is automatically activated to prevent
the engine from starting.
In both cases, a range indicator indicates
the distance that can be travelled before the
vehicle is immobilised.
