Practical information
In the event of damage to the
traction battery
It is strictly prohibited to work on the vehicle
yourself.
Do not touch liquids coming from the
battery, and in the event of skin contact with
these products, wash abundantly with water
and contact a doctor as soon as possible.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
The electrical circuit of the hybrid system is
identified by purple cables and its components
are marked with this symbol:
High-pressure washing
To avoid damaging the electrical
components, it is expressly prohibited to
use high-pressure washing in the engine
compartment or under the body.
Do not use a pressure greater than 80 bar
when washing the bodywork.
Traction battery
The hybrid powertrain uses a voltage
of 48 V. This system may be hot both
when the ignition is on and after switching it
off.
Comply with the warning messages shown
on the labels.
The 48 V Li-ion (Lithium-ion) traction battery
stores the electrical energy needed to propel
the vehicle.
Disposal of the traction battery
The traction battery is designed for the life
of the vehicle if the recommendations of
CITROËN are followed.
If it becomes necessary to replace the battery,
contact the CITROËN dealer for instructions on
its disposal. Improper disposal carries the risk of
severe burns, electric shock, and damage to the
environment.
In accordance with regulations, CITROËN
ensures a second life or recycling of this
component in collaboration with qualified
operators.
The traction battery is automatically charged
to ensure that the charge level is always around
50% of the maximum level, in order to fully
exploit the hybrid functionality and, at the same
time, always have some capacity available for
the energy recovery operation.
It is located under the front left seat.
The traction battery's range varies depending
on the type of driving, the route and the ageing
of its components.
In the event of an accident with an
airbag deployment
The traction battery is automatically
disconnected from the electrical circuit to
prevent the initiation of short circuits and/
or fires.
In the event of an impact to the vehicle’s
underbody
In these situations, the electrical circuit
or the traction battery can be seriously
damaged.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so and switch
off the ignition.
Move away from the vehicle.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The traction battery ageing depends
on several factors, such as climatic
conditions and the distance travelled.
