F 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
%
c

harged by restarting 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 start 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 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, 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 started;
check the operating instructions for the
charging station. The charging warning lamp in the instrument
panel goes off when charging is complete.
F
Di
sconnect the charging cable following
the instructions for the charging terminal.
F
Cl
ose 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.

ChecksUnless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule.
Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Passenger compartment filter
Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of the
replacement intervals for this filter.
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to have
the condition of the brakes checked,
even between vehicle services.
Brake pads
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and specifications.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as important 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
s
ervices.
Brake disc / drum wear
For information on checking the
brake disc or drum wear, contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
This system must be checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle
(e.g.
c

ity driving), replace it twice as often
if necessary .
A dirty passenger compartment filter may have
an adverse effect on the per formance of the air
conditioning system and generate undesirable
odours.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
