)Check that the charging warninglamp in the instrument panel is on fixed.
Fast charging stops automatically whenthe battery is around 80 % charged.It is possible to attain a level of 100 %charged by restarting the procedure. However, the time taken by this additional charge will be relatively long,
as the charging rate is reduced.

During the fast charge, the vehicle's air conditioning may start automatically,if needed to cool the main battery. It istherefore perfectly normal to hear thenoise of a fan running from outside thevehicle and to see a puddle of water form under the vehicle.

As a safety measure, the motor will not star t when the charging cable isconnected to the vehicle's socket. Also, any attempt to star t the motor interrupts the charging procedure. It will then be necessary to disconnectand reconnect the charging cable plug to continue charging, following the instructions for using the charging station.


If the ambient temperature is below 0 °C, the charging time may be longer.
If the ambient temperature is below -25 °C, charging may not be possible. If this is not the case, charging has not star ted;
check the operating instructions for the charging station.
)
The charging warning lamp in the
instrument panel goes off when charging
has finished.
Disconnect the charging cable followingthe instructions for the charging terminal.) Close the charging socket cover and
the flap.

After charging, close the chargingsocket cover and flap. Take care to avoid the ingress of water or dust to the socket and its cover or the charging plug. Risk of fire or electrocution.

Vehicle out of use for a longperiod
When your vehicle is going to be outof use for a long period, charge the main battery completely every three months (following the normal charging procedure).
Before charging, check that the ancillaries battery is not disconnected or discharged. If this is the case, refer to the "ancillaries battery" section for reconnecting or charging the battery.

details of the replacement inter vals
f
or this filter.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the use of the
vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace it twice as often if necessar y.y A dirty passenger compartment filter may have
an adverse effect on the performance of the air conditioning system and generate undesirableodours.
Brake wear depends on the style
o
f driving, par ticularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over shor t
distances. It ma
y be necessary tohave the condition of the brakes checked, evenbetween vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Brake pads
Only use products recommended by CITROËN or products of equivalent quality and specifications. In order to optimise the operationof units as impor tant as the braking system, CITROËN selects and offers very specific products.
Parking brake

If a loss of effectiveness of thissystem is noticed, the parking brakemust be checked, even between two services.
This system must be checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
