Check that the charging warning
lamp in the instrument panel is
on fixed.
Fast charging stops automatically when
the battery is around 80 % charged.
It is possible to attain a level of 100 %
charged by restar ting the procedure.
However, the time taken by this
additional charge will be relatively long,
as the charging rate is reduced. During the fast charge, the vehicle's air
conditioning may star t automatically,
if needed to cool the main battery. It is
therefore per fectly normal to hear the
noise of a fan running from outside the
vehicle and to see a puddle of water
form under the vehicle. As a safety measure, the motor will
not star t when the charging cable is
connected to the vehicle's socket.
Also, any attempt to star t the motor
interrupts the charging procedure. It
will then be necessary to disconnect
and reconnect the charging cable
plug to continue charging, following
the instructions for using the charging
station.
If the ambient temperature is below
0 °C, the charging time may be longer.
If the ambient temperature is
below -25 °C, charging may not be
possible. If this is not the case, charging has not star ted;
check the operating instructions for the
charging station.
)
The charging warning lamp in the
instrument panel goes off when charging
has finished.
Disconnect the charging cable following
the instructions for the charging terminal.
)
Close the charging socket cover and the
flap.
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.
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.

Checks
Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the ser vicing booklet.
Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Passenger compartment filter
Refer to the servicing booklet for
details of the replacement inter vals
for this filter.
Depending on the environment
(e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the use of the
vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace it twice as
often if necessar y
.
A dir ty passenger compar tment filter may have
an adverse effect on the per formance of the air
conditioning system and generate undesirable
odours.
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, par ticularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over shor t
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Brake pads
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and specifications.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as impor tant as the braking
system, CITROËN selects and offers
very specific products.
Parking brake
If a loss of effectiveness of this
system is noticed, the parking brake
must be checked, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Brake disc/drum wear
For information on checking the
brake disc or drum wear, contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
