Practical information07
4.Always use an electrical socket protected
by a circuit-breaker appropriate for the
electrical circuit’s current rating.
5. The weight of the control unit must not be
borne by the electrical socket, plug and
cables.
6. Never use this charging cable if it is defective
or in any way damaged.
7. Never attempt to repair or open this charging
cable. It contains no repairable parts -
replace the charging cable if it is damaged.
8. Never immerse this charging cable in water.
9. Never use this charging cable with an
extension cable, a multi-plug socket,
a conversion adaptor or on a damaged
electrical socket.
10. Do not unplug the plug from the wall as a
means of stopping charging.
11. Do not force the connector if it is locked into
the vehicle.
12. Immediately stop charging, by locking and
then unlocking the vehicle using the remote
control key, if the charging cable or wall
socket feel burning hot to the touch.
13. This charging cable includes components
liable to cause electrical arcing or sparks. Do
not expose to flammable vapours.
14. Only use this charging cable with DS
AUTOMOBILES vehicles.
15. Never plug the cable into the wall socket (or
unplug it) with wet hands.Charging the traction
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!
164In the event of a breakdown08
► At the end of the charging operation, switch
off charger B before disconnecting the cables
from battery A.
24v 12v
If this label is present, use only a 12 V
charger to avoid causing irreversible
damage to the electrical components related
to the Stop & Start system.
Never try to charge a frozen battery - risk
of explosion!
If the battery has frozen, have it checked by
a dealer or by a qualified workshop who will
verify that the internal components have not
been damaged and that the case has not
cracked, which would mean a risk of toxic and
corrosive acid leaking.
Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.
Disconnecting the battery
In order to maintain an adequate state of charge
for starting the engine, it is recommended that
the battery be disconnected if the vehicle is taken
out of service for a long period. Before disconnecting the battery:
►
Close all openings (doors, boot, windows,
roof).
► Switch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, wipers, lighting, etc.).
► Switch off the ignition and wait for 4 minutes.
At the battery, it is only necessary to disconnect
the (+) terminal.
Quick-release terminal clamp
Disconnecting the (+) terminal
► Depending on equipment, lift the plastic cover
on the (+) terminal.
► Raise lever A fully to release clamp B.
► Remove clamp B by lifting it off.
Reconnecting the (+) terminal
► Raise lever A fully.
► Refit the open clamp B on the (+) terminal.
► Push clamp B fully down.
► Lower lever A to lock clamp B.
► Depending on equipment, lower the plastic
cover on the (+) terminal.
Do not force the lever as locking will be
impossible if the clamp is not positioned
correctly; start the procedure again.
After reconnection
After reconnecting the battery, turn on the
ignition and wait 1 minute before starting the
engine, to enable the electronic systems to
initialise.
If minor problems nevertheless persist following
this operation, contact a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Referring to the relevant section, reset certain
equipment:
– Electronic key.
– Electric windows.
– Date and time.
– Preset radio stations.
After reconnection of the battery, the
“Collision risk detection system fault”
message is displayed on the instrument panel
when the ignition is switched on. This
operation is perfectly normal. The message
will disappear while driving.
The Stop & Start system may not be
operational during the trip following the
first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be
available again after a continuous period of
immobilisation of the vehicle, a period which
depends on the exterior temperature and the
