Overview
Safety precautions -
Electric vehicles
An electric vehicle has two types of electrical
circuit:
–
vehicle traction provided by a 48 V battery
module.
–
power supply for the on-board circuit
(instrument panel, lights, ventilation/heating,
USB socket, etc.), provided by a 12
V battery

.
Precautions relating to the 48 V electrical
circuit
The components and cables which make
up the traction electrical circuit are
marked with this symbol.
The electric vehicle's charging system may become hot during use and after the
ignition is switched off.
All work on or modifications to the vehicle’s
electrical system (traction battery, cables and
other components visible from the interior or
exterior) is strictly prohibited - risk of severe
burns or electric shock (short-circuit)!
If required, call a dealer or qualified
workshop.
Precautions relating to the electrical
installation
Before any connection is made, check
that the electrical installation to be used
complies with applicable standards and is
compatible with the vehicle.
In case of doubt, contact a professional
installer.
Precautions related to vehicle cleaning
Before cleaning the vehicle, check that
the windows and doors are properly
closed.
Do not wash the vehicle while the traction
battery is being charged.
Precautions in the event of a breakdown
In the event of a complete loss of power, the
vehicle is no longer driven by the electric motor.
Quickly move the vehicle to a safe place in
accordance with all roadside safety regulations.
Immobilise the vehicle, activate the hazard
warning lamps, put on the high visibility safety
vest, leave the vehicle and find a safe place.
Call a dealer or qualified workshop as soon as
possible.
Precautions related to road accidents
In the event of an accident or impact
to the vehicle's underbody
In situations like these, the electrical circuit or
traction battery may be seriously damaged.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Apply the parking brake and switch off the
ignition.
Call a dealer or qualified workshop as soon
as possible.

Practical information
Charging the traction
battery
Principle
The traction battery stores the energy needed
to operate the electric motor and the vehicle's
electrical cabin components. It is discharged
during use, and must therefore be regularly
recharged. There is no need to wait for the
traction battery to fall to its reserve level before
recharging.
The traction battery's driving range varies
according to the conditions of use: speed, driving
style, heating, load carried and road surface.
The traction battery's driving range can also
vary depending on whether the age of its
components.
Like any equipment with a lithium-ion battery,
the vehicle incorporates a protection mode to
optimise the durability of its traction battery.
Depending on the charge level and temperature
of its traction battery, power may be limited to
protect the battery cells.
This protection mode affects the maximum
speed of the vehicle at low charge level (< 20%)
and at low or high battery temperature (<
+5°C
or > +45°C).
The relief of the road, such as climbing a steep
slope, also affects the maximum speed that the
vehicle can reach.
The charging cable is permanently attached to
the vehicle. It is stored in its housing located
inside the passenger door frame under the door
latch.
The single-phase AC domestic mains power socket must be standard type E/F
16
A; load is limited to 8 A.
To charge the battery, unfurl the charging cable
fully before connecting it to the domestic power
supply

.
For a full charge, follow the charging procedure
until it stops automatically.
To interrupt the charging process at any time,
disconnect the charging cable, unlock the
passenger door and store the cable in its
housing.
Charging progress is permanently displayed on
the instrument panel.
Charging progress can also be checked
via the MyCitroën App application in
combination with the connector unit (sold
separately).
For safety reasons, the motor will not
start while the charging cable is
connected.
Fully charge the traction battery at least once
a month.
Charging temperature
For vehicles manufactured before
2020/11/23, the charging is possible at
temperatures between 0°C and +50°C.
From this date, the charging is possible at
temperatures between -5°C and +50°C.
Parking in cold wheather
When the outside temperature drops
below +5°C:
–
Park the vehicle in an enclosed area.
–Maintain a charge level of the traction
battery above 50%.
Vehicle immobilised for a long period
(more than 3 weeks)
Park the vehicle in a location that is protected
from the elements and where the temperature
is between 0°C and +40°C (exposure to
extreme temperatures can damage the
traction battery).
The charging level in the traction battery must
be around 50%.
Disconnect the connector unit.
Remove the F7-50
A fuse.
Disconnect the 12 V battery.
