PEUGEOT ION Handbook page 87

The charge warning lamp in the instrument
panel goes off when charging is complete.
Press the button to remove the charging plug.
Refit the protective cover to the charging cable.
Close the charging socket cover, then the flap.
Disconnect the charging cable from the
power point.
Stow the charging cable in the bag provided.
As a safety measure, the motor will
not start when the charging cable is
connected to the vehicle's socket.
Also, any attempt to start the motor
interrupts the charging procedure. It will
then be necessary to disconnect and
reconnect the charging cable plug to
continue charging.
After charging, close the charging
socket cover and flap.
Take care to avoid the ingress of water
or dust to the socket and its cover
or the charging plug. Risk of fire or
electrocution.
After charging, do not leave the cable
connected to the electric power
point. There is a risk of short circuit
or electrocution if it is contacted or
immersed in water.
Practical information
To optimise the service life of the
main battery, charge it completely
every 15 days.
For a complete charge, follow the
normal charging procedure (domestic
power point) without interruption, until it
stops automatically (charging warning
lamp off in the instrument panel).
Vehicle out of use for a long
period
When your vehicle is going to be out
of use for a long period, charge the
main battery completely every three
months (following the normal charging
procedure).
Before charging, check that the
ancillaries battery is not disconnected
or discharged. If this is the case, refer
to the "ancillaries battery" section for
reconnecting or charging the battery.
