charging sockets 1
The vehicle has a charging socket on
each side of the vehicle.
Do not connect a cord at both ve -
hicle charging sockets at the same
time.
1
Avoid charging and parking your ve -
hicle in extreme temperatures (hot or
cold).
When the vehicle is parked in tempera-
tures lower than around -25°C, the bat-
tery cannot be charged.
Favour charging the traction battery
after driving and/or in mild tempera -
tures. Otherwise, charging may take a
longer period of time or even become
impossible.
In the absence of any protection
against overvoltage, you are recom-
mended not to charge the vehicle in
stormy weather (lightning, etc).
recommendations
– In high temperatures, try to park and
recharge the vehicle in a shaded/
covered location.
– Charging can be performed in the
rain or snow.
Note:
If in a snowy environment, remove
snow from the vehicle charging area
before plugging in or disconnecting.
Snow in the socket may block the in -
sertion of the charging cord plug.

tor pedal, the motor generates electri -
cal current during deceleration, and this
energy is used to recharge the traction
battery.

when driving the vehicle, the engine
brake is temporarily reduced. Please
adapt your driving style appropriately.
