For the airbags to be fully
effective, observe the safety
recommendations below:
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
object...), nor fix or attach anything close to
the inflation trajectory of the airbags; this
could cause injuries during their deployment.
Never modify the original definition of your
vehicle, particularly in the area directly
around the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are
observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns
to the head, chest or arms when an airbag is
deployed cannot be ruled out.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment the lateral
airbags. For information on the range of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, you can
contact a CITROËN dealer.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backs (clothing...). This could cause injury
to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is
deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary.
The

bag inflates almost instantly (within
a few milliseconds) then deflates within
the same time discharging the hot gas via
openings provided for this purpose.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its
spokes or resting your hands on the centre
part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags
can cause burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or
hit it violently.
Do not fit or attach anything to the steering
wheel or dashboard, this could cause
injuries with deployment of the airbags.
Advice
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This
could cause injury to the head if the curtain
airbag is deployed.
If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the
grab handles installed on the roof, they play
a part in securing the curtain airbags.

battery. Starting your vehicle will then
no longer be possible. Be aware.

In most European countries, CITROËN
has established a partnership with a
specialist company that can check and
bring your electrical installation up to
standard. For more information, contact
a CITROËN dealer. In the event of damage to or
deterioration of the charging cable or
control unit, do not use it. Contact a
CITROËN dealer if in doubt or for a
replacement. You must always use only a genuine
CITROËN charging cable.
Before connecting, check that the
electrical installation you want to use
meets standards* and is compatible
with the rating of your charging unit.
If in doubt, call upon a professional
installer.
There are sockets available that are
specially designed for charging electric
vehicles.
For sockets dedicated to charging an
electric vehicle, refer to the installation
instructions for the socket.
In all cases, it is recommended that
that you first have an initial check
and then regular checks
carried out
on your installation by a qualified
electrician.
* For example, in France the standard is NF C 15 -100. must not stay inside the vehicle or near
the vehicle, charging cable, charging
unit or charging point, even for a short
time.
It is also important that you take advice
from your doctor on the precautions to
take and observe.
There are two types of charging you can use:
normal or fast.
Normal charging should be favoured; it is done
from a domestic mains power point.
Fast charging is done at a compatible fast
charging station.

F Check that the charging lamp in the instrument panel and
the green CHARGING lamp of
the control unit are on fixed.
The start of charging may be
accompanied by the noise of a fan
running. This noise is per fectly normal.
The charge may be interrupted at any
time by withdrawing the charging plug.
If this is not the case, charging has not
started; repeat the procedure, ensuring that all
connections are correct.
The state of charge indicator for the main
battery is displayed in the instrument panel and
the number of bars illuminated increases as the
battery is charged.
If exceptionally you have to interrupt the
charge by disconnecting the charging
cable from the power point, it is
essential to first press the Manual Stop
button on the control unit.Control unit

This type of control unit that has a system for

A (FAST): if your electrical installation
supports it.
-

8 A
(NORMAL): if your electrical
installation is standard. As a safety measure, the motor will
not start when the charging cable is
connected to the vehicle's socket.
Also, any attempt to start the motor
interrupts the charging procedure. It will
then be necessary to disconnect and
reconnect the charging cable plug to
continue charging.
The charge lamp in the instrument panel going

While charging, do not do anything
under the bonnet, even with the ignition
off, as the cooling fan may start at any
time (risk of injury).
You must wait for at least one hour
after the end of the charging procedure
before doing anything under the bonnet,
as some areas may be extremely hot
(risk of burns).
Practical information

101
After removing the charging plug from
the vehicle's socket, do not leave
the cable connected to the electric
power point (risk of short circuit or
electrocution if there is contact or
immersion in water). After charging, close the charging
socket 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).
In the event of an accident or an impact
to the underbody of the vehicle (contact
with a raised kerb, a bollard, street
furniture, etc.), the electric circuit or the
main battery may be damaged. Have
your vehicle checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Never touch the 300 V components, nor
the orange cables.
Vehicle out of use for a long
period
When your vehicle is going to be out
of use for a long period, charge the
main battery completely every three
months (following the normal charging
procedure).
Before charging, check that the
12 V battery is not disconnected or
discharged. If this is the case, refer
to the "12 V battery" section for
reconnecting or charging the battery.
In the event of serious damage to
the main battery, never touch liquids
coming from this component.
In the event of contact with your body,
wash abundantly with water and contact
a doctor without delay.
To optimise the ser vice life of the
main battery, recharge it completely
ever y
2 weeks.
For a complete charge, follow the
normal charging procedure (domestic
power point) without interruption, until it
stops automatically (charging warning
lamp goes off in the instrument panel).
In addition, ever y 3 months, carr y
out

this complete recharge of the
main batter y from a state of charge
of 2 bars or less .
