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).
The charge lamp in the instrument panel going
off and flashing of the green CHARGING
lamp
indicate that charging is complete.

tow the charging cable in the bag

discharged, it is not possible to charge
the main battery.
If you wear a pacemaker or other
electrical medical device, you must not
stay inside or near the vehicle during
charging.
It is also important that you take advice
from your doctor on the precautions to
take and observe.While charging, do not do anything
under the bonnet, even with the ignition
off, as the cooling fan may start at any
time (risk of injury).
You must wait for at least one hour
after the end of the charging procedure
before doing anything under the bonnet,
as some areas can be extremely hot
(risk of burns).
After removing the charging plug from
the vehicle's socket, do not leave
the cable connected to the electric
power point (risk of short circuit or
electrocution if it is contacted or
immersed in water).

The coolant level should be between
the MIN "L" and MA X "F" marks.
Coolant levelAvoid prolonged contact of used fluids
with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to
health and some are very corrosive.
Do not discard used fluids into sewers
or onto the ground.
Take used fluids to a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop (France) or to
an authorised waste disposal site.

Rear compartment
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be changed.
Coolant specification
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations. As the cooling system is pressurised, wait at
least one hour after switching off the motor
and/or the end of the charge cycle before
carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level.
Ancillaries battery
electrolyte level
Remove the battery protective cover to check
this level (refer to the"ancillaries battery"
section).
The electrolyte level should be between the
MIN "LOWER LEVEL" and MA X "UPPER
L E V E L" .
If necessary, top up using distilled water by
removing the individual battery caps.
Check the electrolyte level at least once
per month.
