Reversing camera 
 
For more information, refer to the 
General recommendations on the use 
of driving and manoeuvring aids .With the ignition on, this system uses a camera 
located near the third brake lamp to display 
a view of the rear of your vehicle on the 
reproduction screen (if it is a panel van or has a 
solid partition).
The reversing camera is activated automatically 
when reverse gear is engaged. The image 
is displayed on the reproduction screen. The 
reproduction screen switches off when the 
gearbox is in neutral or in a forward gear.
 
 
 
 
The blue lines  1 represent the general direction 
of the vehicle (the gap corresponds to the width 
of your vehicle with the mirrors).
The red line  2 represents a distance of about 
30
  cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear 
bumper.
The green lines  3 represent distances of about 1 
and 2 metres beyond the edge of your vehicle's 
rear bumper.
The turquoise blue curves  4 represent the 
maximum turning circle.
Some objects may not be seen by the 
camera.
Certain vehicles may be difficult to see 
(dark colours, lamps off) when the 
brightness of the screen is reduced using the 
vehicle’s lighting dimmer.
The image quality may be affected by the  surroundings, the exterior conditions 
(rain, dirt, dust), the driving mode and the 
lighting conditions (night, low sun).
In the presence of areas in shade, or in 
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate 
lighting, the image may be darkened and with 
lower contrast.
Obstacles may appear further away than 
they actually are.
During parking manoeuvres and lane 
changes, it is important to check the sides of 
the vehicle using the mirrors.

Practical information
For a full charge, follow the desired charging 
procedure without pausing it, until it ends 
automatically. Charging can be either immediate 
or deferred (except fast public charger, mode 4).
You can stop domestic or accelerated charging 
at any time by unlocking the vehicle and 
removing the nozzle. For superfast charging, 
refer to the fast public charger.
For more information on the charging displays 
on the Instrument panel and the Touch screen, 
refer to the corresponding section.
It is also possible to monitor the charging 
progress using the MyCitroën App 
application.
For more information on  Remote functions, 
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 in the engine 
compartment comes on during charging to 
cool the on-board charger and the traction 
battery.
Low load / Driving
Driving when the charge level of the 
traction battery is too low can lead to the 
vehicle breaking down and can lead to 
accidents or serious injuries. ALWAYS make 
sure the traction battery has a sufficient 
charge level.
Low load / Parking
If the outside temperature is negative, 
it is recommended not to park your vehicle 
outside for several hours at a low load (less 
than 20%).
Vehicle in storage for more than 
1   month
In the event of a long period of non-use of 
the vehicle (beyond 4
  weeks) without the 
possibility of charging when restarting, the 
self-discharge may make it impossible to 
restart if the traction battery charge level 
is a low or very low, especially at negative 
ambient temperatures. ALWAYS make sure 
that the traction battery has a charge between 
20% and 40% if you do not plan to use your 
vehicle for several weeks.
Do not connect the charging cable.
Always park the vehicle in a place with 
temperatures between -10°C and 30°C 
(parking in a place with extreme temperatures 
can damage the traction battery).
Disconnect the cable from the (+) terminal 
of the accessory battery in the engine 
compartment.
Connect a 12 V battery charger to the (+) 
and (-) terminals of the accessory battery 
about every 3 months in order to recharge the 
accessory battery and maintain an operating 
voltage.
Precautions
Our electric vehicles have been developed in 
accordance with the recommendations on the 
maximum limits for electromagnetic fields, as 
issued by the International Commission on Non-
Ionizing Radiation Protection
  (ICNIRP - 1998 
Guidelines).
Wearers of pacemakers or equivalent 
devices
Ask your doctor about what precautions  you should take, or ask the manufacturer 
of your implanted electro-medical device about 
whether its operation is guaranteed in an 
environment which complies with the ICNIRP 
recommendations.
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.
Superfast 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.

Practical information
7For 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 (W
allbox) 
compatible with the vehicle.
You should preferably use the charging cable 
available as an accessory.
For more information, contact a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
During charging
While charging is in progress, unlocking 
the vehicle will cause the charging to stop.
If no action is taken on one of the openings 
(door or boot) or on the charging nozzle, the 
vehicle will lock again after 30 seconds and 
charging will resume automatically.
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!
After charging
Check that the charging flap is closed.
Do not leave the cable connected to the 
domestic power socket - risk of short-circuit 
or electrocution in the event of contact with or 
immersion in water!
For superfast charging
Before charging
Check that the fast public charging 
station and its charging cable are compatible 
with the vehicle.
If the exterior temperature is below:
–
 
0°C, charging times may be extended.
–
 
-20°C, charging is still possible, but 
charging times may be extended even further 
(the battery has to be heated first).
After charging
Check that the charging flap is closed.
Connection
► Before  charging, check that the drive selector 
is in mode   P, otherwise charging is not possible.
►
 
Open the charging flap by pressing the 
push-button, and check that there are no foreign 
bodies on the charging connector
.
Domestic charging, mode 2 
 
 
 
► Connect the charging cable from the control 
unit to the domestic socket.
When the connection is made, all of the indicator 
lamps on the control unit light up, then only the 
POWER
 indicator lamp remains on in green.
►
 
Remove the protective cover from the 
charging nozzle.
►
 
Insert the nozzle into the charging connector
 .
The start of charging is confirmed by the flashing 
green CHARGE indicator lamps in the flap, then 
those on the control unit.
If this is not the case, charging has not 
started; restart the procedure, ensuring that all 
connections are properly established.
The red indicator lamp in the flap comes on to 
indicate that the nozzle is locked.
When charging is complete and while the 
charging cable is still connected, opening
