Access
This equipment contains a button type battery.
Do not swallow the battery. Risk of chemical 
burns!
Swallowing the battery can cause serious 
internal burning in only 2 hours and can be 
fatal.
If batteries have been swallowed or inserted 
into a part of the body, seek immediate 
medical advice.
Keep new and used batteries out of the reach 
of children.
If the battery compartment does not close 
properly, stop using the product and keep it 
out of the reach of children.
Risk of explosion if the battery is 
replaced with an incorrect type!
Replace the battery with the same type.
Risk of explosion or leaking of 
inflammable liquid or gas!
Do not use in/store in/place in an environment 
where the temperature is extremely high or 
where the pressure is extremely low due to 
very high altitude.
Do not try to burn, crush or cut a used battery.
Reinitialising the remote 
control
Following replacement of the battery or in 
the event of a fault, it may be necessary to 
reinitialise the remote control.
 
 
► Insert the mechanical key (incorporated into 
the remote control) into the lock to open the 
vehicle.
►
 
Place the electronic key against the back-up 
reader on the steering column and hold it there 
until the ignition is switched on.
►
 
While in mode  P
 of the automatic gearbox, 
depress the brake pedal.
►
 
Switch on the ignition by pressing the 
"
START/STOP" button.
If the fault persists after reinitialisation, contact 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop 
without delay.
Alarm
(Depending on version) 
 
 
 
System which protects and provides a deterrent 
against theft and break-ins.
Exterior perimeter monitoring
The system checks for opening of the vehicle.
The alarm is triggered if anyone tries to open a 
door, the boot or the bonnet, for example.
Interior volumetric monitoring
The system checks for any variation in volume in 
the passenger compartment.
The alarm is triggered if anyone breaks a 
window, enters the passenger compartment or 
moves inside the vehicle.
Anti-tilt monitoring
The system checks for any change in the attitude 
of the vehicle.
The alarm goes off if the vehicle is lifted or 
moved.

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).
►
 
T
 urn 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 
    

147
Practical information
7When 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.
Rechargeable 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.
