Practical information
High voltage system voltage is
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.
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

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.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
When washing
Before washing the vehicle, always
check that the charging flap is closed

flammable and could cause a fire.
– 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.
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.
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.
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
