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.

Access
Fuel tank Capacity of the tank: approximately 60 litres.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to
be registered by the fuel gauge.Opening the filler cap may result in an inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely normal and results from the sealing of the fuel system. ) Take care to select the pump that delivers
the correct fuel type for your vehicle'sengine (reminder on a label on the inside of
the filler flap). ) Open the filler cap by turning it a 1/4 turn to
the left. ) Remove the filler cap and hang it on its carrier (on the filler flap).
Opening
If you have put in the wrong fuel for your vehicle, you must have havethe tank drained and refilled with the correct fuel before you start theengine.
With Stop & Star t, never refuel with the system in STOP mode; you must switchoff the ignition with the START/STOP button.
Refuelling
)
Introduce the nozzle and push it in fully(pushing open the metal non-return
valve A). A ) Fill the tank (don't continue past the thirdcut-off of the nozzle, as this may cause malfunctions). )
Refit the filler cap turning it a 1/4 turn to the
right. ) Push the filler flap to close it.
Your vehicle is
fitted with a catalytic converter
that reduces the levels of harmful substances in
the exhaust gas.
)Press the switch
This switch remains active for a few minutes
after switching off the ignition. If necessary, switch the ignition on again to reactivate it.

Low fuel level
When the low fuel level in the tank isreached, this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel, accompanied
by an audible warning and a messagein the instrument panel screen.
When it first comes on, around 6 litres of fuelremain in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoidrunning out.
Fuel supply cut-off
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device
which cuts o
ff the fuel supply in the event of a collision.
It remains possible to use a fuel can tofill the tank.In order to ensure a good flow of fuel, do not place the nozzle of the fuel canin direct contact with the flap of themisfuel prevention device and pour slowly.
Misfuel prevention (Diesel) *
Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids the risk of engine damage that can result from filling with the wrong fuel.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention device appears when the filler cap is removed.
When a
petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes
into contact with the flap. The system remains closed and prevents filling. Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle.
Operation
Tr a v e l l i ng abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different
in other countries, the presence of the misfuel
prevention device may make refuellingimpossible.
Before travelling abroad, we recommend that you check with the CITROËN dealer network,
whether your vehicle is suitable for the fuelpumps in the country in which you want to
tr
avel.

Access
Quality of the fuel used for
Diesel engines
The Diesel engines are perfectly compatible
with biofuels which conform to current andfuture European standards (Diesel fuel which complies with standard EN 590 mixed with a
biofuel which complies with standard EN 14214)
available at the pumps (containing up to 7 %
Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
The B30 biofuel can be used in cer tain Diesel engines; however, this use is subject to strict
application of the special ser vicing conditions. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel(vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk of
damage to the engine and fuel system).

On vehicle fitted with HDi engines, the fuel
system must be primed if you run out of fuel;
refer to the corresponding engine compar tment
view.
Running out of fuel (Diesel)
If the tank on your vehicle is fitted witha misfuel prevention device, refer to the"Misfuel prevention (Diesel)" section.
)
Fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of Diesel. )
Open the bonnet. )
If necessary, unclip the style cover for
access to the priming pump.
) Slacken the bleed screw. )
Squeeze and release the priming pump
repeatedly until fuel appears in the
transparent pipe.
) Tighten the bleed screw. )
Operate the star ter until the engine star ts (if the engine fails to star t at the first
attempt, wait around 15 seconds before
trying again). ) If the engine fails to star t after a few
attempts, operate the priming pump again,
th
en the starter. ) Put the style cover back in position and clip it in place, ensuring that it has clippedcorrectly. )
Close the bonnet.
2 litre HDi engine
If the engine does not star t first time, don't keep trying. Star t the procedure
again from the beginning.
Before doing anything under the bonnet, switch off the ignition ( Readylamp off)to avoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of the engine.
