If in doubt, during charging, do not remain
inside or near the vehicle, near the charging
cable or the charging unit, even for a short time.
Before charging
Depending on the context:
► Have a professional check that the
electrical system to be used complies with
applicable standards and is compatible with
the vehicle.
► Have a professional electrician install
a dedicated domestic power socket or
accelerated charging unit (Wallbox)
compatible with the vehicle.
Use the charging cable supplied with the
vehicle.
For more information, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualied workshop.
During charging
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.
While charging is in progress, unlocking the
vehicle will cause the charging to stop.
If no action is taken on one of the openings
(door or boot) or on the charging nozzle, the
vehicle will lock again after 30 seconds and
charging will resume automatically.
Never work under the bonnet:
– Some areas remain very hot, even an hour
after charging ends - risk of burns!
– The fan may start at any time - risk of cuts
or strangulation!
After charging
Check that the charging ap is closed.
Do not leave the cable connected to the
domestic power socket - risk of short-circuit
or electrocution in the event of contact with or
immersion in water!

If this is not the case, charging has not started;
restart the procedure, ensuring that all of the
connections are properly established.
The red indicator lamp in the ap comes on to
indicate that the nozzle is locked.
