Practical information
7► Fill the tank.
Do not continue past the 3rd cut-off of the
nozzle; as this may cause malfunctions.
►

Put the filler cap back in place and turn it to
the right (depending on version).
►


Push the filler flap to close it.
The vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter

,
which helps to reduce the level of harmful
emissions in the exhaust gases.
For petrol engines, you must use unleaded
fuel.
The filler neck is narrower, allowing only
unleaded petrol nozzles to be inserted.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for
the vehicle, you must have the fuel
tank drained and filled with the correct fuel
before starting the engine.
Rechargeable hybrid
system
Electrical system
The electrical circuit of the rechargeable hybrid
system is identified by orange cables and its
components are marked with this symbol:


The rechargeable hybrid engine's system uses a voltage of between 240 V and
400 V. This system may be hot both when the
ignition is on and after switching it off.
Observe the warning messages on the labels,
especially in the charging flap.
High voltage system voltage is
dangerous and can cause burns or other
injuries or even fatal electric shock.
Since damage to high voltage components is
not visible, CITROËN recommends that you:
–

Never touch the components, damaged
or not, and never let your jewelry or other
metallic objects come into contact with these
components.
–


Never work on the orange high voltage
cables or on any other high voltage
component marked with the Electric risk label.
Any intervention on the high voltage system
must be carried out by qualified persons in
workshops qualified and approved to carry
out this type of work.
–


Never damage, modify or remove the
orange high voltage cables or disconnect
them from the high voltage network.
– Never open, modify or remove the cover of
the traction battery .
–

Never work with cutting and forming
tools or heat sources near high voltage
components and cables.
In case of low level of fluid in the cooling
tank, the refilling shall only be performed in a
qualified and trained workshop to verify that
the leakage is not in the traction battery

.
Any intervention on the high voltage system
must be carried out by qualified persons in
workshops qualified and approved to carry
out this type of work.
Damage to the vehicle or the traction battery
could result in the leakage of toxic gases or
fluids either immediately or later. CITROËN
recommends that you:
–

Always inform the fire and emergency
services in the event of an incident, warning
that the vehicle is equipped with a traction
battery

.
–

Never touch the liquids leaking from the
traction battery

.
–

Do not inhale the gases emitted by the
traction battery which are toxic.
–


Move away from the vehicle in the event of
incident or accident, the gases emitted being
flammable and could cause a fire.

Practical information
7If in doubt, during charging, do not remain
inside or near the vehicle, near the charging
cable or the charging unit, even for a short time.
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.
Use the charging cable supplied with the
vehicle.
For more information, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
During charging
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.
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!
Charging procedure
Connection
► Before charging, check that the gear selector
is in mode P and the ignition is off, otherwise
charging is impossible.
►

Open the charging flap by pressing the top
right push-button, and check that there are
no foreign bodies on the vehicle's charging
connector

.
The light guides in the flap come on white.
Domestic charging (mode 2)



► First, 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 vehicle's charging
connector

.
The start of charging is confirmed by the flashing
of the green light guides in the flap and the
flashing of the
CHARGE indicator lamp in green
on the control unit.
If this is not the case, charging has not started;
restart the procedure, ensuring that all of the
connections are properly established.
The red indicator lamp in the flap comes on to
indicate that the nozzle is locked.
Accelerated charging (mode 3)
