Charge de la batterie de traction (X38 - L38 électrique - Renault)
ENG_NU_914-4_L38e_Renault_1
electric vehicle: charging (4/6)
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.

Position for use
Raise or lower the headrest while pull -
ing it towards the front of the vehicle.
t o remove the headrest
Press tabs A on catches 1 and 2 and
remove the headrest.
t o refit the headrest
Insert the headrest rods into the
sleeves, and lower the headrest to the
first notch.
Storage position
Lower the headrest as far as possi -
ble, then press tab 2 and lower it com-
pletely.
When the headrest is set at the
lowest position (position B ), this is
for storage only: it should not be in
this position when a seat is occupied.
The headrest is a safety
component, check that it is
fitted and in the correct po-
sition.

warning light
When the blue warning light comes on,
this means that the traction battery tem-
perature is too low.
When the orange warning light comes
on, this means the traction battery or
the motor temperature is too high. Opt
for a calmer driving style.
if either of these warning lights come
on, this may lead to reduced vehicle
performance.

there is an electrotechnical fault in the
“400 Volt” electrical circuit. Please see
an authorised dealer as soon as pos -
sible.

There are several reasons for the warn-

light
This lights up when the ignition is
switched on and goes out after a few
seconds.
If it does not go out after the ignition is
switched on, or lights up when driving,
there is a fault with the ABS. Braking
will then be as normal, without the ABS.

AbS (anti-lock braking
system)
Under heavy braking, the ABS prevents
the wheels from locking, allowing the
stopping distance to be managed and
keeping control of the vehicle.
Under these circumstances, the vehi -
cle can be steered to avoid an obstacle
whilst braking. In addition, this system
can increase stopping distances, par -
ticularly on roads with low surface grip
(wet ground etc.).
You will feel a pulsation through the
brake pedal each time the system is
activated. The ABS does not in any way
improve the vehicle’s physical perform-
ance relating to the road surface and
roadholding. It is still essential to follow
the rules of good driving practice (such
as driving at a safe distance from the
vehicle in front etc.).
Driving correction devices
These include:
– t h e A bS ( a n t i - l o c k b r a k i n g
system);
– the electronic stability program
eSP with understeer control and
traction control ASr;
– emergency brake assist with, de -
pending on the vehicle, braking
anticipation.
In an emergency, apply firm and
continuous pressure to the brake
pedal. There is no need to pump
it repeatedly. The ABS will modu -
late the force applied in the braking
system.
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle behav -
iour to be adapted to suit the driving
conditions.
However, the functions do not take
the place of the driver. they do
not increase the vehicle’s limits
and should not encourage you
to drive more quickly. Therefore,
they can under no circumstances
replace the vigilance or responsibil -
ity of the driver when manoeuvring
the vehicle (the driver must always
be ready for sudden incidents which
may occur when driving).
Yo u r b r a k i n g s y s t e m s
are partially operational.
However, it is dangerous
to brake suddenly and
it is essential to stop immediately,
as soon as traffic conditions allow.
Contact an approved dealer.

The traction control ASR offers addi -
tional safety, it is recommended that
you do not drive with the function disa-
bled. Correct this as soon as possible
by pressing switch 1 again.
nb : the function is reactivated auto -
matically when the ignition is switched
on or when a speed of approximately
24 mph (40 km/h) is exceeded.
emergency brake assist
This system supplements the ABS
and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis-
tances.
Operating principle
The system is for detecting an emer -
gency braking situation. In this case,
the braking assistance immediately de-
velops maximum power and may trig -
ger ABS regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as
the brake pedal is applied.
hazard warning lights switching on
These may light up in the event of rapid
deceleration.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operat -
ing fault the message “ Check brak-
ing system” appears on the instrument
panel along with the
© warning
light.
Consult an approved dealer.
braking anticipation
Depending on the vehicle, when you
rapidly release the accelerator, the
system anticipates the braking ma -
noeuvre in order to reduce stopping
distances.
Special cases
When using the cruise control:
– if you use the accelerator, when you
release it, the system may be trig -
gered;
– if you do not use the accelerator, the
system will not be triggered.
Disabling the ASr function
In some situations (driving on very wet
ground: snow, mud, etc. or driving with
snow chains fitted), the system may
reduce the engine output to limit wheel
-
spin. If this is not required, it is possible
to deactivate the function by pressing
switch 1.
The message “ Traction control off ” is
displayed on the instrument panel to
inform you.

To remove bad odours from your ve -
hicles, only use the systems designed
for this purpose. Consult an approved
Dealer.
Do not add anything to the
vehicle’s ventilation circuit
(for example, to remove
bad odours).
There is a risk of damage or of
fire.
