of mist on the windscreen and side windows.
The recirculation of interior air isolates the
passenger compartment from exterior odours
and smoke.
Return to exterior air intake as soon as possible
to prevent deterioration of the air quality and
the formation of mist.F

F Check that the charging warning lamp in the instrument panel is
on fixed.
Fast charging stops automatically
when the main battery is around 80%
charged. It is possible to attain a charge
of 100% by restarting the procedure.
However, the time taken by this
additional charge will be relatively long,
as the charging rate is reduced. During fast charging, 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 to
the vehicle's socket, then to restart the
charging following the instructions for
using the charging station.If the exterior temperature is
below
0 °C, the charging time may be
longer.
If the exterior 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.

the instructions for the charging terminal.

C
lose 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 into the socket, under its cover
or into 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
12 V battery is not disconnected or
discharged. If this is the case, refer
to the "12 V battery" section for
reconnecting or charging the battery.

Checking componentsUnless 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 services.
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.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn. Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle
(e.g.

city 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.
