ELECTRIC VEHICLE: introduction (1/5) 2 1 3 4 5 1 Charging cord 2 Electric motor 3 Orange electrical power cables 4 Traction battery 5 12 volt battery 1.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE: introduction (2/5) Electric vehicles have specific features. We therefore recommend that you read these instructions describing your electric vehicle carefully. Batteries 12 volt battery Your electric vehicle has two types of battery: – a traction battery; – a 12 volt battery. The second battery on your vehicle is a 12V battery: this supplies the energy required to operate vehicle equipment (lights, washer/wipers, etc).
ELECTRIC VEHICLE: introduction (3/5) A The A symbol denotes the electrical elements of your vehicle which may present health risks. “58 volt” electrical circuit Noise The electrical circuit can be recognised by the orange cables and by the elements signalled using the symbol. Electric vehicles are particularly quiet. You will not yet necessarily be used to it, and neither will other road users. It is difficult for them to hear the vehicle when it is moving.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE: introduction (4/5) Driving When you lift your foot off the accelerator pedal, the motor generates electrical current during deceleration, and this energy is used to recharge the traction battery. Please refer to the information on the “Charge meter” in Section 2. An electric motor generates a greater engine brake than in a petrol or diesel engine vehicle.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE: introduction (5/5) Bad weather, flooded roads: Do not drive through floods if the depth of water is above the lower edge of the wheel rims. Special cases – At very high exterior temperatures, a safety mode is triggered. Warning comes on the instrument light panel. This mode reduces vehicle power and can lead to its immobilisation. We recommend that you stop and allow the electrical system to cool down, until the warning light goes off. The vehicle then recovers its performance.
IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS Please read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow these instructions may lead to a risk of fire, burns or electric shock and serious injury. In the event of an accident or impact to the vehicle In the event of an accident or an impact to the underside of the vehicle (e.g.: striking a post, raised kerb or other street furniture), this may damage the electrical circuit or the traction battery. Have the vehicle checked by an authorised dealer.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE: charging (1/5) 1 2 Charging schematic diagram 1 Wall socket or, depending on the vehicle, charging terminal 2 Charging cord If you have any questions regarding the equipment needed for charging, please ask an authorised dealer. 1.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE: charging (2/5) Important recommendations for charging your vehicle Please read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow these instructions may lead to a risk of fire, burns or electric shock and serious injury.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE: charging (3/5) Avoid charging and parking your vehicle in extreme temperatures (hot or cold). Favour charging the traction battery in mild temperatures. 2 When the outdoor temperature falls below zero or is very high, the traction battery charging time will be longer. Charging may become impossible when the temperature is extremely low. When the vehicle is parked for more than seven days in temperatures below about -25°C, charging the traction battery can become impossible.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE: charging (4/5) 3 8 4 2 5 7 Recharging the traction battery Ignition switched off: – open flap 3; – take out the entire charging cord 2 located in the storage compartment at the front of your vehicle, pulling it by the plug using reasonable force. The maximum length of the charging cord is approximately 3 metres; – plug in the end of the cord to the power supply (domestic plug socket, etc); – make sure that the stretch limiter 8 of the charging cord 2 is not exceeded during charging.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE: charging (5/5) 8 Special conditions 3 If it becomes impossible to unplug the vehicle from the charging terminal (the plug is mechanically locked), start the vehicle, switch off the ignition, then switch on again. Attempting to start the vehicle ends the charging process and unlocks the plug from the terminal. 2 Repeat this operation as many times as is necessary.
KEY A Replacement, requirements for additional keys Key If you lose your key or require another, you can obtain one exclusively from an authorised dealer. A Coded ignition-starter key, locking/ unlocking storage compartments. The key must not be used for any function other than those described in the handbook (removing the cap from a bottle, etc.). Driver’s responsibility Never leave your vehicle with the key inside and never leave a child (or a pet) unsupervised, even for a short while.
OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOORS 1 Opening from inside or outside Lift handle 1 and pull upwards. Closing Lower the door until it locks into place. Driver’s responsibility when parking or stopping the vehicle Never leave an animal, child or adult who is not self-sufficient alone on your vehicle, even for a short time. They may pose a risk of injury, such as by starting the engine or activating equipment. Risk of serious injury.
ENGINE IMMOBILISER This prevents the vehicle being driven by anyone not in possession of the vehicle’s coded ignition key. Vehicle protection tell-tale light After the ignition has been switched off, warning light 1 flashes and the vehicle is protected. The vehicle is automatically protected after the engine is switched off. Operating fault warning light If the warning light continues to flash or stays lit up permanently following an attempt to start the engine, this indicates a fault in the system.
FRONT SEAT Access to the rear seats 2 Lift strap 2 and slide the driver’s seat forwards. To replace the seat in the driving position, pull strap 2 towards the rear of the vehicle until you get to the desired position. 1 To move the seat forwards or back Lift handle 1 to unlock the seat. Release the handle once the seat is in the correct position and ensure that the seat is fully locked into position. Make sure the seat is locked in place.
SEAT BELTS (1/3) For safety reasons, always wear your seat belt when travelling in your vehicle. You must also comply with the legislation of your country. Before starting, first adjust your driving position, then ask all occupants to adjust their seat belts to ensure optimum protection. 1 1 2 Adjusting your driving position – Sit well back in your seat. This is essential to ensure your back is positioned correctly; – adjust the distance between the seat and the pedals.
SEAT BELTS (2/3) Unfastening 3 5 3 6 4 7 4 Locking Adjusting the seat belts Unwind the belt slowly and smoothly and ensure that buckle 5 locks into catch 4 (check that it is locked by pulling on buckle 5). If the belt jams, allow it to return slightly before attempting to unwind it again. Sit with your back firmly against the seatback. If your seat belt is completely jammed, pull slowly, but firmly, so that just over 3 cm unwinds. Allow it to return slightly before attempting to unwind it again.
SEAT BELTS (3/3) – No modification may be made to the component parts of the originally fitted restraint system: belts, seats and their mountings. For special operations (e.g.: fitting booster seats), please contact an authorised dealer. – Do not use devices which allow any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too loosely may cause injury in the event of an accident. – Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (1/3) These are made up of: – a side support belt; – chest force limiters; – the driver’s airbag. These systems are designed to act independently or together when the vehicle is subjected to a frontal impact. Depending on the severity of the impact, the system can trigger: – the seat belt and side support belt locking; – the front airbag. – Have the entire restraint system checked following an accident.
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/3) Side support belt Airbag Please see the information on “Seat belts” in Section 1. This is fitted in the front seats. Load limiter Above a certain severity of impact, this mechanism is used to limit the force of the belt against the body so that it is at an acceptable level. An Airbag marking on the steering wheel informs you of the presence of this equipment.
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/3) All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and also to prevent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the air bag inflates. Warnings concerning the driver’s air bag Operation This system is only operational when the ignition is switched on.
ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and also to prevent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the air bag inflates. 1 The air bag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the air bags and seat belts are integral parts of the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear seat belts at all times.
CHILD SAFETY: General information (1/2) Carrying children Children, and adults, must be correctly seated and strapped in for all journeys. The children being carried in your vehicle are your responsibility. A child is not a miniature adult. Children are at risk of specific injuries as their muscles and bones have not yet finished growing. The seat belt alone would not provide suitable protection. Use a booster seat and ensure you use it correctly.
CHILD SAFETY: General information (2/2) Use Only a booster seat should be used. The level of protection offered by the booster seat depends on its ability to restrain your child and on its installation. Incorrect installation compromises the protection it offers the child in the event of harsh braking or an impact. Before purchasing a booster seat, check that it complies with the regulations for your country and that it can be fitted in your vehicle.
CHILD SAFETY: booster seat Only a booster seat should be used. Booster cushions From 15 kg or 4 years, the child can travel using a booster seat, which will enable the seat belt to be adapted to suit his/her size and shape. The booster seat cushion must be fitted with guides to position the seat belt on the child’s thighs rather than the stomach.
CHILD SAFETY: attaching a booster seat Attachment via the seat belt The seat belt must be adjusted to ensure that it is effective in the event of harsh braking or an impact. Ensure that the strap paths indicated by the booster seat manufacturer are respected. Do not use the booster seat if it risks loosening the seat belt restraining it: the base of the booster seat must not rest on the buckle and/or catch of the seat belt.
CHILD SAFETY: installing a booster seat (1/3) In the rear seat For child safety, move the front seat as far forward as possible to install a booster seat, then move it back as far as it will go, without allowing it to come into contact with the child. Check that the booster seat is resting against the back of the vehicle seat. Check that when installing the booster seat in the vehicle, it is not at risk of coming loose from its base.
CHILD SAFETY: installing a booster seat (2/3) ² seats. Seat not suitable for fitting child Seat which only allows a standardised “Universal” booster seat to be installed using a seat belt. Using a child safety system which is not approved for this vehicle will not correctly protect the baby or child. They risk serious or even fatal injury. 1.

These factors are: – speed and driving style; – type of road; – electrical accessories and equipment; – vehicle loading; – tyres; Speed and driving style High speeds will reduce your vehicle’s range.
VEHICLE RANGE: recommendations (2/2) Use of electrical accessories and equipment In the event of freezing, manually de-ice the windscreen (using a scraper) to reduce usage of the de-icing/demisting function and to save energy. Please see the information on “Deicing, demisting the windscreen” in Section 3. The use of electrical accessories (GPS, phone charger, etc.) reduces vehicle range. Vehicle loading Avoid pointlessly overloading your vehicle. Tyres An under-inflated tyre increases energy consumption.
ENVIRONMENT Your vehicle has been designed with respect for the environment in mind for its entire service life: during production, use and at the end of its life. Please make your own contribution towards protecting the environment too. Manufacture – Worn parts replaced in the course of routine vehicle maintenance (vehicle battery, etc.) must be disposed of through specialist bodies.
CHARGE METER/ECO-CONSUMPTION A B Charge meter Power recovery B The charge meter gives the driver a real-time view of the vehicle’s remaining power.
