Practical Information

Do not continue after the nozzle’s third cut-

out. Doing so may cause malfunctions.

Refuelling

Fuel tank capacity: approximately 44 litres.

Refit the filler cap.

Turn it to the right.

Push the filler flap to close it.

Reserve level: approximately 6 litres.

Low fuel level

Warning

If you have put in wrong/dirty/

contaminated fuel or H2O mixed fuel in

the vehicle, you must have the fuel tank

drained and filled with the correct fuel

before starting the engine.

When the low fuel level is reached,

this warning lamp comes on on the

instrument panel, accompanied by

an audible signal.

Lift the fuel filler flap lever, located on the floor

beside the driver's seat, to open the flap.

Contact a CITROËN dealer for the fuel

system cleaning.

When it first comes on, about 5 litres of fuel

remain.

► Take care to select the pump that delivers

the correct fuel type for the vehicle's engine

(see a reminder label on the inside of the

filler flap).

Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp

appears every time the ignition is switched

on, accompanied by an audible signal. When

driving, the audible signal are repeated with

increasing frequency as the fuel level drops

towards 0.

The vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter,

a device which helps to reduce the level of

harmful emissions in the exhaust gases.

You must use unleaded fuel.

The filler neck is narrower, admitting unleaded

petrol nozzles only.

You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid

running out of fuel.

Fuel cut-off

Refuelling

Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device

which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a

collision.

Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres, in

order to be registered by the fuel gauge.

Opening the filler cap may create a noise

caused by an inrush of air. This vacuum is

entirely normal, resulting from the sealing of

the fuel system.

Turn the filler cap to the left and remove it.

Charging system

(Electric)

► Introduce the filler nozzle and push it in as

far as possible before starting to refuel (risk

of blowback).

To refuel in complete safety:

► You must switch off the engine.

300 V electrical system

► Fill the tank.

The electric drive system, which operates at a

voltage of approximately 300 V, is identified by

orange cables and its components are marked 7

with this symbol:

79

Practical Information

Warning

– 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 the event of an accident or 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.

Warning

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.

Contact a CITROËN dealer.

An electric vehicle’s power train can

become hot during use and after switching

off the ignition.

Comply with the warning messages shown

on the labels, particularly inside the charging

flap.

Warning

When washing. Before washing the

vehicle, always check that the charging flap

is closed correctly.

Never wash the vehicle while the battery is

on charge.

Warning

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.

Warning

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.

– 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.

Warning

Never allow water or dust to enter

the connector or charging nozzle - risk of

electrocution or fire!

Never connect / disconnect the charging

nozzle or cable with wet hands - risk of

electrocution!

Practical Information

The range of the battery may vary according

to the type of driving, the route, the use of

thermal comfort equipment and the ageing of

its components.

Tip

The lifespan of the traction battery

depends on multiple factors, such as climatic

conditions, distance travelled and how often

it has been fast-charged.

Warning

To preserve the mileage of your

vehicle and the durability of your traction

battery, CITROËN recommends that you:

– Charge the vehicle to 100%.

Front e-service plug at engine bay area

– Initiate charging below 20%.

– Perform complete AC slow charging (mode

2) at least once every four charges.

– Do not immediately charge the vehicle

after a long drive. Wait an hour before

charging so that the traction battery can

cool down and come back to its normal

temperature level.

– Try to keep the traction battery cool. If

possible, avoid parking in direct sunlight and

instead, park in the shade.

– Do not completely discharge the battery.

– Do not store the vehicle for a long period

of non-use when the traction battery has

a low or high charge level. For a long idle

period, the preferred charge level is around

30%.

Warning

These labels are intended solely for

use by fire fighters and maintenance services

in the event of any work on the vehicle.

No other person must touch the devices

shown on these labels.

Traction battery

– Limit the use of fast charging.

– Do not expose the vehicle to temperatures

7 below -25°C and above +49°C for more

than 24 hours.

– Avoid charging the vehicle at negative

temperatures.

This battery stores the energy that powers

the electric motor and the thermal comfort

equipment in the passenger compartment. It

is discharged during use, and must therefore be

regularly recharged.

81

Practical Information

– Do not use the vehicle's traction battery as

a generator of energy.

– Do not use a generator to recharge your

vehicle's traction battery

► To open the charging flap, pull the release

lever located below the steering wheel.

The charging connector is protected by 2

covers.

connector

Warning

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.

Disposal of the traction battery

Warning

In case of impact, even light, against

the charging flap, do not use it.

Do not dismantle or modify the charging

connector - risk of electrocution and/or fire!

Contact a CITROËN dealer.

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.

and chargers

The charging flap is located on the front

righthand side of the vehicle.

The charging cable supplied with the vehicle

(depending on version) is compatible with the

electrical systems in the country of sale. When

travelling abroad, check the compatibility of

local electrical systems with the charging cable.

The charging cable is stored in a bag in the

boot.

A full range of charging cables is available from

your dealer.

Contact a CITROËN dealer for more

information and to obtain suitable charging

cables.
