2016 Citroen DS5 HYBRID warning

Safety warnings related to high voltage


The voltage used for the operation of
the electric motor is in the range 150 to
270 Volts.
Do not handle the components of the high
voltage system (identified by the orange
colour): risk of electrocution and burns!
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).

Before doing any
work on the vehicle,
switch off the ignition
( READY
lamp off).


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 parts, orange
cables or connectors, even in the event of
an accident.

To avoid any risk to the environment,
the high voltage battery must be
recycled in an appropriate manner.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Be sure to take account of the warning
labels present on the vehicle.
Battery electrolyte is very corrosive: risk of
burns.
No sparks or naked flames.
Do not burn or heat.
Keep out of reach of children.
Do not spray or pour fluids: risk of damage
to the battery.


Emergency cut-off

In the event of an accident, a safety
system automatically cuts-off the high
voltage system and the fuel supply.
The Hybrid4 system can no longer be
started.
You must then contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.


Operations on the
battery

The high voltage battery must not in
any circumstances be charged from an
external power supply and must only
be handled by a qualified technician
at a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Incorrect handling may lead to serious
burns, as well as electric arcs that could
cause serious injury or even death.
