2013 Citroen DS5 HYBRID4 high voltage battery

The high voltage battery must not in anycircumstances be charged from an external source and must only be handled by a
workshop technician.
There is the risk o
f serious burns, as well as electric arcs that could cause serious injury or
even death.
A used Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride) type high voltage battery must be removed in an
appropriate manner by a repair workshop,so that its recycling presents no risk to the environment.
High voltage
The voltage used for the operation of theelectric motor is in the range 150 to 270 Volts.
Be sure to take account of the warning labels
fitted to the vehicle.
Ta k e great care regarding the high voltage andhigh temperatures of components carrying the current.

Emergency cut-off

In the event of an accident, a cut-off system blocks the high voltage current and cuts off
the fuel pump; your vehicle can no longer be started.
To restar t the hybrid system, contact a CITROËN dealer.
High voltage cables are routed under the
vehicle
(sills); take care not to damage them
when the vehicle is used for off-road activity (such as covering rough ground).
Be
fore doing any workon the vehicle, switch off the ignition (Readylamp off).



Battery precautions

Hi
gh voltage cables
Take care to position lifting equipment(jack, hoist, ...) at the locations provided to avoid damaging the cables.


Never touch, dismantle, remove or replace the high voltage par ts, orange cables or connectors, even in the eventof an accident.

107
Comfort
These have one position for use (up) and a stowed position (down).
They can also be removed.
To remove a head restraint: ) release the backrest using control 1,)
tilt the backrest 2
slightly forwards, )
pull the head restraint upwards to the stop, )
then, press the lug A.
Rear head restraints

Never drive with the head restraintsremoved; they must be in place and correctly adjusted.









Fan cooling of the high voltage battery


This system does not work continuously,
but adapts the force of the fan cooling to the
requirements of the battery.
Its operation can be heard at the rear, even if
the vehicle is stopped after a run.
If the air intake is blocked, the batter
y mayoverheat, damaging the battery and causing a
loss of performance of the hybrid system.
For the best use of the high voltage battery, please follow these recommendations: - do not obstruct the air intake with loose ar ticles, other wise, the battery may overheat, causing a loss of performance of the hybrid system- do not spill fluids, as this may cause damage to the battery.
The high voltage battery has an air cooling system, comprising an air intake
(located on the side of the left hand rear seat) and a fan (located behind the lefthand boot trim panel).

227Practical information
Do not attempt to charge the high voltage battery.
The batteries contain harmful substances such as sulphuric acid and lead. They mustbe disposed of in accordance with regulations and must not, in any circumstances, bediscarded with household waste.
Take used remote control batteries and vehicle batteries to a special collectionpoint.
It is advisable to disconnect the battery if the vehicle is to be left unused for more than one month.


Protect your eyes and face before handling the battery. All operations on the battery must becarried out in a well ventilated area andaway from naked flames and sourcesof sparks, so as to avoid the risk of explosion or fire.
Do not try to charge a frozen battery;the battery must first be thawed out to avoid the risk of explosion. If the batteryhas been frozen, before charging have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop who will check that the internal components have not beendamaged and the casing is not cracked,which could cause a leak of toxic and corrosive acid. Do not reverse the polarity and use onlya 12 V charger. Do not disconnect the terminals whilethe engine is running. Do not charge the batteries withoutdisconnecting the terminals first.
Wash your hands afterwards.
Do not push the vehicle to star t the engine if the vehicle is fitted with the electronic gearbox.







Before disconnecting the battery

Wait 2 minutes after switching off the ignition
before disconnecting the battery.
Close the windows and the doors before
disconnecting the battery.


Following reconnection of the battery

Following reconnection of the battery, switch on
the ignition and wait 1 minute before star ting to
permit initialisation of the electronic systems.However, if problems remain following this operation, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section, you
must yourself reinitialise (depending on
version):


- the remote control key,

- the electric blind(s), - ...

Do not push the vehicle to star tthe engine.

Range varies according to the ambient climatic conditions, the driving style and conditions, the use of vehicle systems and ageing of the battery.
