Practical information

 

►  With a conventional key, insert the key into 

the filler cap, then turn the key to the left.

 

 

►  Unscrew and remove the filler cap, then 

place it on the holder located on the fuel filler 

flap.

►  Insert the nozzle and push it in fully (while 

pushing on the metal valve 

A

).

►  Fill the tank. Do not continue past the 

third cut-off of the nozzle, as this may cause 

malfunctions.

►  Put the filler cap back in place and close it by 

turning to the right.

►  Push the fuel filler flap to close it (your 

vehicle must be unlocked).

 

 

If the vehicle is equipped with a sliding 

door on its left-hand side, do not open it 

while the fuel filler flap is open (risk of 

damaging the fuel filler flap and the sliding 

door and risk of injuring the person filling up).

If the fuel filler flap is open and you try to 

open the left-hand side door, a 

mechanism prevents it from being opened.

The door can be opened half-way, however.

With a mechanical door, close the fuel filler 

flap to regain use of the door.

With an electric door, to be able to use it 

correctly, close the fuel filler flap and then 

press an opening control.

The vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter, 

which helps to reduce the level of harmful 

emissions in the exhaust gases.

If you have put in the wrong fuel for 

your vehicle, you must have the fuel 

tank drained and filled with the correct fuel 

before starting the engine.

Fuel cut-off

Your vehicle is fitted with a safety system that 

cuts off the supply of fuel in the event of an 

impact.

Diesel misfuel prevention

Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank 

of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It helps avoid the 

risk of engine damage that can result from filling 

with the wrong fuel.

Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention 

device appears when the filler cap is removed.

 

 

When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the 

fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes 

into contact with the flap. The system remains 

closed and prevents filling.

179

Practical information

7

Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type 

filler nozzle.

It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill 

the tank slowly.

In order to ensure a good flow of fuel, do 

not place the nozzle of the fuel can in direct 

contact with the flap of the misfuel prevention 

device.

Travelling abroad

As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be 

different in other countries, the presence 

of the misfuel prevention device may make 

refuelling impossible.

Before travelling abroad, it is advisable to 

check with a CITROËN dealer if the vehicle is 

suitable for the distribution equipment of the 

countries visited.

Charging system 

(Electric)

400 V electrical system

The electric drive system, which operates at a 

voltage of approximately 400 V, is identified by 

orange cables and its components are marked 

with this symbol:

 

 

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.

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.

–  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 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.

–  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.

 

180

Practical information

 

This label is intended solely for use by 

firefighters and maintenance services in 

the event of any work on the vehicle.

No other person must touch the device shown 

on this label.

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.

electrocution or fire!

Never connect / disconnect the charging 

nozzle or cable with wet hands - risk of 

electrocution!

Traction battery

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. There is no need to wait 

for the traction battery to fall to its reserve level 

before recharging.

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.

The lifespan of the traction battery 

depends on multiple factors, such as 

climatic conditions, distance travelled and 

how often it has been fast-charged.

To preserve the mileage of your vehicle 

and the durability of your traction battery, 

CITROËN recommends that you:

–  Do not fully charge the battery of your 

electric vehicle daily (charge the traction 

battery below 80% as often as possible).

–  Do not completely discharge the battery.

–  Do not store the vehicle for a long period 

of non-use (more than 12 hours) when the 

traction battery has a low or high charge level. 

Prefer a charge level between 20 and 40%.

–  Limit the use of fast charging.

–  Do not expose the vehicle to temperatures 

below -30°C and above +60°C for more than 

24 hours.

–  Avoid charging the vehicle at negative 

temperatures (except if the vehicle ran more 

than 20 minutes) or above +30°C.

–  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.

the vehicle on a flat surface at the side of the 

road.

►  Apply the parking brake and position any 

wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent 

movement of the vehicle.

►  Fit the snow chains following the instructions 

provided by the manufacturer.

►  Move off gently and drive for a few moments, 

without exceeding 31 mph (50 km/h).

►  Stop the vehicle and check that the snow 

chains are correctly tightened.

It is strongly recommended that you 

practise fitting the snow chains on a level 

and dry surface before setting off.

Avoid driving with snow chains on roads 

that have been cleared of snow to avoid 

damaging the vehicle's tyres and the road 

surface. If the vehicle is fitted with alloy 

wheels, check that no part of the chain or its 

fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.

Towing device

Load distribution

►  Distribute the load in the trailer so that the 

heaviest items are as close as possible to the 

axle, and the nose weight approaches the 

maximum permitted without exceeding it.

Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing 

engine performance. The maximum towable load 

must be reduced by 10% per 1,000 metres of 

altitude.

Use genuine towing devices and wiring 

harnesses approved by CITROËN. We 

recommend having them fitted by a CITROËN 

dealer or a qualified workshop.

If not fitted by a CITROËN dealer, they must 

still be fitted in accordance with the vehicle 

manufacturer's instructions.

Certain driving or manoeuvring aid functions 

are automatically deactivated while an 

approved towing system is in use.

Comply with the maximum authorised 

towable weight, as indicated on your 

vehicle's registration certificate, on the 

manufacturer's label and in the 

Technical 

data

 section of this guide.

Complying with the maximum authorised 

nose weight (towball weight) also includes 

the use of accessories (bicycle carriers, 

tow boxes, etc.).

Observe the legislation in force in the 

country where you are driving.

Electric motor

An electric 

vehicle may be fitted with a 

towing device.

It is therefore possible to tow a trailer or 

caravan.

Contact a CITROËN dealer or qualified 

workshop for more information and to obtain a 

suitable towing device.

Roof bars/Roof rack

As a safety measure and to avoid 

damaging the roof, it is essential to use 

the roof bars and roof racks approved for your 

vehicle.

Observe the instructions on fitting and use 

contained in the guide supplied with the roof 

bars and racks.

192

Practical information

Recommendations

Distribute the load uniformly, taking care 

to avoid overloading one of the sides.

Arrange the heaviest part of the load as close 

as possible to the roof.

Secure the load firmly.

Drive gently: the vehicle will be more 

susceptible to the effects of side winds and its 

stability may be affected.

Regularly check the security and tight 

fastening of the roof bars, at least before each 

trip.

Remove the roof bars once they are no longer 

needed.

As this value may change, please verify 

the maximum load quoted in the guide 

supplied with the roof bars.

If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the speed 

of the vehicle to the profile of the road to 

avoid damaging the roof bars and the fixings 

on the vehicle.

Be sure to refer to national legislation in order 

to comply with the regulations for transporting 

objects that are longer than the vehicle.

Roof bars

A maximum of 3 roof bars (or 2 bars for the 

version with panoramic sunroof) can be installed 

- use the positions marked in green.

 

 

 

 

With panoramic sunroof

 

 

Max.

 authorised load weight:

–  over 2 roof bars: 100 kg,

–  distributed over 3 roof bars: 150 kg.

To install the transverse roof bars, use the fixing 

points provided for this purpose:

►  Open the fixing covers on each bar.

►  Put each fixing point in place and lock them 

to the roof one by one.

►  Ensure that the roof bars are correctly fitted 

(by shaking them).

►  Close the fixing covers on each bar.

The bars can be interchanged and are adaptable 

to each pair of fixing points.

Roof racks

Max.

 authorised load weight:

–  XS: 140 kg,

–  M and XL: 170 kg.

To fit a roof rack, use the fixing points provided 

for this purpose:

►  Place the roof rack on the roof aligned with 

the fixing points and secure each one to the roof 

in turn.

►  Ensure that the roof rack is correctly fitted (by 

shaking it).

Take care with objects or clothing that 

could be caught in the blades of the cooling 

fan or in certain moving components - risk of 

strangulation and serious injury!

Before carrying out any work under the 

bonnet, you must switch off the ignition, check 

that the 

READY

 indicator lamp is off on the 

instrument panel and disconnect the nozzle 

from the charging connector if it is connected.

The location of the interior bonnet 

release lever prevents the bonnet being 

opened when the left-hand front door is 

closed.

When the engine is hot, handle the 

exterior safety catch and the bonnet stay 

with care (risk of burns), using the protected 

area.

When the bonnet is open, take care not to 

damage the safety catch.

Do not open the bonnet under very windy 

conditions.
