Practical information
► To open the filler flap, press the flap opening
button for more than 2 seconds or, with the
vehicle unlocked, press the rear of the filler flap
(depending on version).
Rechargeable hybrid vehicles
After pressing the button on the
dashboard, the filler flap may not open for
several minutes. A sound is emitted when the
filler flap opens.
If the flap becomes stuck, press and hold
the button on the dashboard for more than
3
seconds.
►
Select a pump that delivers the correct fuel
type for the vehicle's engine (see a reminder
label on the inside of the filler flap).
► Turn the filler cap to the left, remove it
and place it on its support on the filler flap
(depending on version).
►
Insert the filler nozzle and push it in as far as
possible before starting to refuel (to minimise the
risk of splashing).
►
Fill the tank.
Do not continue after the nozzle’
s third cut-
out. Doing so may cause malfunctions.
► Put the filler cap back in place and turn it to
the right (depending on version).
►
Push the fuel filler flap to close it.
The vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter
,
which helps to reduce the level of harmful
emissions in the exhaust gases.
For petrol engines, you must use unleaded
fuel.
The filler neck is narrower, allowing only
unleaded petrol nozzles to be inserted.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for
the vehicle, you must have the fuel
tank drained and filled with the correct fuel
before starting the engine.
Misfuel prevention (Diesel)
(Depending on country of sale.)
This mechanical device prevents filling the tank
of a Diesel vehicle with petrol.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention
device is visible when the filler cap is removed.
Operation
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel filler neck of a Diesel vehicle, it comes into
contact with the flap. The system remains closed
and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle.
The misfuel prevention device does not prevent filling with a jerrycan, regardless
of the fuel type.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be
different in other countries, the presence
of the misfuel prevention device may make
refuelling impossible.
Before travelling abroad, it is advisable to
check with a PEUGEOT dealer if the vehicle
is suitable for the distribution equipment of the
countries visited. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Practical information
7Rechargeable hybrid
system
Electrical system
The electrical circuit of the rechargeable hybrid
system is identified by orange cables and its
components are marked with this symbol:
The rechargeable hybrid powertrain uses a voltage of between 240 V and 400 V.
This system may be hot both when the
ignition is on and after switching it off.
Comply with the warning messages shown
on the labels, particularly inside the charging
flap.
High voltage system voltage is
dangerous and can cause burns or other
injuries or even fatal electric shock.
Since damage to high voltage components is
not visible, PEUGEOT recommends that you:
–
Never touch the components, damaged
or not, and never let your jewelry or other
metallic objects come into contact with these
components.
– Never work on the orange high voltage
cables or on any other high voltage
component marked with the Electric risk label.
Any intervention on the high voltage system
must be carried out by qualified persons in
workshops qualified and approved to carry
out this type of work.
–
Never damage, modify or remove the
orange high voltage cables or disconnect
them from the high voltage network.
–
Never open, modify or remove the cover of
the traction battery
.
–
Never work with cutting and forming
tools or heat sources near high voltage
components and cables.
In case of low level of fluid in the cooling
tank, the refilling shall only be performed in a
qualified and trained workshop to verify that
the leakage is not in the traction battery
.
Any intervention on the high voltage system
must be carried out by qualified persons in
workshops qualified and approved to carry
out this type of work.
Damage to the vehicle or the traction battery
could result in the leakage of toxic gases or
fluids either immediately or later. PEUGEOT
recommends that you:
–
Always inform the fire and emergency
services in the event of an incident, warning
that the vehicle is equipped with a traction
battery
.
–
Never touch the liquids leaking from the
traction battery
.– Do not inhale the gases emitted by the
traction battery which are toxic.
–
Move away from the vehicle in the event of
incident or accident, the gases emitted being
flammable and could cause a fire.
This label is intended solely for use by firefighters and maintenance services in
the event of any work on the vehicle.
No other person must touch the device shown
on this label.
In the event of an accident or impact
to the vehicle’s underbody
In these situations, the electrical
circuit or the
traction battery can be seriously damaged.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so and switch
off the ignition.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
When washing
Before washing the vehicle, always
check that the charging flap is closed
correctly.
Never wash the vehicle while the battery is
on charge. CarM an uals 2 .c o m
