Peugeot 308: Hybrid system

Electrical system

For more information, refer to the General recommendations on electrified vehicles.

The electrical circuit of the hybrid system is identified by purple cables and its components are marked with this symbol:

The hybrid powertrain uses a voltage of 48 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.

In the event of an accident with an airbag deployment

The traction battery is automatically disconnected from the electrical circuit to prevent the initiation of short circuits and/or fires.

In the event of an impact to the vehicle's underbody

In these situations, the electrical circuit or the traction battery can be seriously damaged.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

High-pressure washing

To avoid damaging the electrical components, it is expressly prohibited to use high-pressure washing in the engine compartment or under the body.

Do not use a pressure greater than 80 bar when washing the bodywork.

Traction battery

The 48 V Li-ion (Lithium-ion) traction battery stores the electrical energy needed to propel the vehicle.

The traction battery is automatically charged to ensure that the charge level is always around 50% of the maximum level, in order to fully exploit the hybrid functionality and, at the same time, always have some capacity available for the energy recovery operation.

It is located under the front left seat.

The traction battery's range varies depending on the type of driving, the route and the ageing of its components.

The traction battery ageing depends on several factors, such as climatic conditions and the distance travelled.

To preserve the mileage of your vehicle and the durability of your traction battery, PEUGEOT recommends that you:

- Do not expose the vehicle to temperatures below -30ºC and above +60ºC for more than 24 hours.

- Do not use a generator to recharge your vehicle's traction battery.

Vehicle in storage for more than 1 month

Always park the vehicle in a place with temperatures between -10ºC and +30ºC (parking in a place with extreme temperatures can damage the traction battery).

Refer to the 12 V battery/Accessory batteries section for the charging the batteries using a battery charger procedure.
