battery (Electric)
To recharge, connect the vehicle to a domestic
electrical system (for domestic or accelerated
charging) or a fast charging station (for fast
charging).
For a full charge, follow the desired charging
procedure without pausing it, until it ends
automatically. Charging may be performed either
immediately or deferred.
You can stop charging at any time by unlocking
the vehicle and removing the nozzle.
For more information on the charging displays on
the Instrument panel and the Touch screen, refer
to the corresponding section.
Depending on version, the deferred charge
function is configured via either the touch
screen or the MyDS application.
For more information on the deferred charge
function, refer to the corresponding section.
A LED, located below the interior rear view
and visible from outside the vehicle,
flashes in blue for a few minutes to confirm
the start of the charging.
It is also possible to monitor the charging
process using the MyDS application.
For more information on Remotely operable
features, refer to the corresponding section.
As a safety measure, the engine will not
start if the charging cable is plugged into
the connector on the vehicle. A warning is
displayed on the instrument panel.
Cooling the traction battery
The cooling fan comes on during charging
to cool the on-board charger and the traction
battery.
Vehicle unused for an extended period
Fully recharge the traction battery every
three months. Follow the domestic charging
procedure.
Before carrying out the charging operation,
check that the accessory battery is not
disconnected or discharged. If it is, refer to
the corresponding section for information on
reconnecting or recharging it.
Precautions
Electric vehicles were developed in accordance
with the guidelines on maximum electromagnetic
fields issued by the International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP - 1998
Guidelines).
Wearers of pacemakers or equivalent
devices should consult a doctor to enquire
about any applicable precautionary measures, or
contact the manufacturer of their implanted
electronic medical device to check that it is
guaranteed to operate in an environment
compliant with the ICNIRP guidelines.
If in doubt
Domestic or accelerated charging: do
not remain inside or near the vehicle, or near
the charging cable or charging unit, even for a
short time.
Fast charging: do not use the system yourself
and avoid approaching public fast charging
points. Leave the area and ask a third party to
recharge the vehicle.
For domestic or accelerated charging
Before charging
Depending on the context:
►  Have a professional check that the
electrical system to be used complies with
applicable standards and is compatible with
the vehicle.
►  Have a professional electrician install
a dedicated domestic power socket or
accelerated charging unit (Wallbox)
compatible with the vehicle.
Use the charging cable supplied with the
vehicle.
(During charging)
Never work under the bonnet:
– Some areas remain very hot, even an hour
after charging ends - risk of burns!
– The fan may start at any time - risk of cuts or
strangulation!

162In the event of a breakdown08
circumstances be discarded with household
waste.
Take used remote control batteries and vehicle
batteries to a special collection point.
Protect your eyes and face before
handling the battery.
All operations on the battery must be carried
out in a well ventilated area and away from
naked flames and sources of sparks, to avoid
any risk of explosion or fire.
Wash your hands afterwards.
Electric motor
Flat accessory battery
It is not possible to start the motor or
recharge the traction battery.
Precautions before working on the
accessory battery
Select mode P, switch off the ignition, check
that the instrument panel is off and that the
vehicle is not plugged in.
Recharging the accessory battery
Do not recharge the battery without first
disconnecting the terminals and removing the
battery from the motor compartment.
Do not disconnect the battery terminals while
the READY lamp is lit, or while the vehicle is
charging.
Access to the battery
The battery is located under the bonnet.

For access to the (+) terminal:
►  Release the bonnet by pulling the internal
release lever, then the external safety catch.
►  Raise the bonnet.
(+) Positive terminal.
This terminal has a quick-release clamp.
(-) Negative terminal.
As the battery's negative terminal is not
accessible, a remote earth point is located facing
the battery.
Vehicles equipped with DS MATRIX LED
VISION headlamps
Never connect jump leads to the metal part on
the back of the headlamps.
Risk of headlamp damage!
Starting using another battery
If your vehicle's battery is flat, the engine can be
started using a backup battery (either external or
from another vehicle) and jump leads or using a
battery booster.
Never start the engine by connecting a
battery charger.
Never use a 24 V or higher battery booster.
Check beforehand that the backup battery has
a nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity at
least equal to that of the discharged battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact with
each other.
