Practical information
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, admitting unleaded
petrol nozzles only.
– Never work on the high voltage cables
(purple or orange) 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
high voltage cables (purple or orange) 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:
– 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.
