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).

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

To optimise the ser vice life of the
main battery, recharge it completely
ever y 15 days.
For a complete charge, follow the
normal charging procedure (domestic
power point) without interruption, until it
stops automatically (charging warning
lamp off in the instrument panel).
In addition, ever y 3 months, carr y out
this complete recharge of the main
batter y from a state of charge of
2
b
ars or less .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.
In the event of an accident or an impact
to the underbody of the vehicle (contact
with a high kerb, a terminal, street
furniture, .
..), the electric circuit or the
main battery may be damaged. Have
your vehicle checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Never touch the 300 V components, nor
the orange cables.
In the event of serious damage to
the main battery, never touch liquids
coming from this component.
In the event of contact with your body,
wash abundantly with water and contact
a doctor without delay.

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.

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.
