Practical Information
charge between 20% and 40% if you do not
plan to use your vehicle for several weeks.
Do not connect the charging cable.
Always park the vehicle in a place
with temperatures between -10°C and
30°C (parking in a place with extreme
temperatures can damage the traction
battery).
Disconnect the cable from the (+) terminal
of the accessory battery in the engine
compartment.
Connect a 12 V battery charger to the (+)
and (-) terminals of the accessory battery
about every 3 months in order to recharge
the accessory battery and maintain an
operating voltage.
Tip
Charging the traction
battery (Electric)
Cooling the OBC-DCDC
The cooling fan in the engine compartment
comes on during charging to cool the on-
board charger.
Principle
To recharge, connect the vehicle to a domestic
electricity supply (domestic charging) or to a
fast public charger (DC fast charging).
Apply parking brake before starting connecting
the charging nozzle to the vehicle.
Without parking brake, charging will not start.
For a full charge, follow the desired charging
procedure without pausing it, until it ends
automatically.
You can stop domestic charging at any time by
unlocking the vehicle and removing the nozzle.
For DC fast charging, refer to the fast public
charger.
Warning
Low charge level / Driving
Driving when the charge level of the traction
battery is too low can lead to the vehicle
stoppage due to low battery level and
can lead to vehicle undriveable situation.
ALWAYS make sure the traction battery has
a sufficient charge level.
Use after long idle period
The vehicle must be charged to 100% with
AC slow charging (mode 2).
The vehicle should not be used before
charging, after a long idle period.
For more information on the charging displays
on the Instrument panel, refer to the
corresponding section.
Warning
Low charge level / Parking. If the
outside temperature is negative, it is
recommended not to park your vehicle
outside for several hours at a low charging
(less than 20%).
Tip
It is also possible to monitor the
charging progress using the MyCitroën App
application.
Precautions
Our electric vehicles have been developed in
accordance with the recommendations on the
maximum limits for electromagnetic fields, as
issued by the International Commission on Non-
Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP - 1998
Guidelines).
Warning
Warning
Vehicle in storage for more than 1
month
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.
In the event of a long period of non-use
of the vehicle (beyond 4 weeks) without
the possibility of charging when restarting,
the self-discharge may make it impossible
to restart if the traction battery charge
level is a low or very low, especially at
negative ambient temperatures. ALWAYS
make sure that the traction battery has a
