| Precautions | Medical devices and safety before, during and after charging |
| Charging procedure | Connecting, deferred charging and disconnecting step by step |
For a full charge, follow the charging procedure without interrupting it, until it stops automatically. Charging can start immediately, which is the default, or be deferred. You set deferred charging using the touch screen or the MYPEUGEOT APP application.
When the car is connected, the instrument panel shows:
Once the instrument panel has gone into standby mode, you can bring this information back by unlocking the car or opening a door. You can also follow the charging progress in the MYPEUGEOT APP application. For more on this, see the Remotely operable additional functions section of the handbook.
Driving on a low charge: driving when the traction battery charge level is too low can cause the car to break down and can lead to accidents or serious injuries. Always make sure the traction battery has enough charge.
Parking on a low charge: if the outside temperature is below zero, the handbook recommends not leaving your car parked outside for several hours with a charge level below 20%.
Storing the car for more than 1 month: if the car is not used for more than 4 weeks and cannot be charged when you come back to it, self-discharge may make it impossible to restart if the traction battery charge is low or very low, especially in temperatures below zero. If you will not use the car for several weeks:
Rechargeable hybrid vehicles have been developed in line with the recommendations for maximum electromagnetic field limits set by the ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection - 1998 Guidelines).
If you wear a pacemaker or similar device, consult a doctor about any precautions you should take. You can also contact the manufacturer of your implanted electronic medical device to check that it is guaranteed to work in an environment that meets the ICNIRP guidelines. If in doubt, do not stay inside or near the car, the charging cable or the charging unit during charging, even for a short time.
Before charging, depending on your situation:
During charging:
After charging:
The steps differ slightly between domestic charging (mode 2) and accelerated charging with a Wallbox (mode 3).
Connection
Domestic charging (mode 2)
The red indicator lamp in the flap comes on to show that the nozzle is locked.
Accelerated charging (mode 3)
The red indicator lamp in the flap comes on to show that the nozzle is locked.
Deferred charging
By default, the deferred charging start time is midnight. Depending on equipment, you can change this time. With PEUGEOT Connect Nav, go to the Energy touch screen menu and select the Charge page:
With PEUGEOT Connect Radio or PEUGEOT Connect Nav, you can also programme deferred charging at any time from a smartphone using the MYPEUGEOT APP application. See the Remotely operable additional functions section of the handbook for details.
To activate it:
Disconnection
End of domestic charging (mode 2): charging has finished when the green CHARGE lamp on the control unit and the green light guides in the flap stay on fixed.
End of accelerated charging (mode 3): the Wallbox confirms the end of charging, and the green light guides in the flap stay on fixed.
As a safety measure, the engine will not start while the charging cable is plugged into the car's connector. A warning appears on the instrument panel.
Unlocking the car during charging stops it. If you do not open a door, the boot or touch the charging nozzle, the car locks again after 30 seconds and charging resumes automatically.
Unlock the car, or if it is already unlocked, lock it and unlock it again. When the red lamp in the flap goes out, remove the nozzle within 30 seconds.
The handbook says to make sure the traction battery has a charge between 20% and 40%, without the charging cable connected. Park it somewhere with temperatures between -10°C and 30°C.
Charging your Peugeot 3008 rechargeable hybrid is simple once you know what the lights in the flap and on the control unit are telling you. Keep this guide handy, follow the safety precautions, and for full details on any system, see the relevant section of your handbook.
If a lamp comes on while you are driving, see our guides to Peugeot 3008 red warning lights, Peugeot 3008 orange warning lights and Peugeot 3008 green and blue indicator lamps.
