The vehicle drive system in
an electric vehicle uses an
alternating voltage of ap -
proximately 400 volts. This
system can get hot during and after
switching off the ignition. Respect
warning messages given on the
labels in the vehicle.
All interventions or modifications to
the 400V electrical system (com -
ponents, cables, connectors, trac -
tion battery) are strictly prohibited
due to the risks they present to your
safety. Please contact an authorised
dealer.

tric shocks can lead to death.

electric vehicle: introduction (5/5)
Noise
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. We recommend that
you take this into account, especially
when driving in urban environments
and when performing manoeuvres.
As the motor is silent, you will hear
noises that you are not used to hearing
(aerodynamic noises, tyre noise, etc.)
When charging, the vehicle may emit
noises (fan, relays, etc).
Your electric vehicle is very
quiet. When getting out of
the vehicle, always check
that the gear selector is
at P, engage the handbrake and
switch off the ignition.
riSK OF SeriOUS iNJUr Y
The engine brake should
under no circumstances be
used as a substitute for the
brake pedal.
Driving
As with a car with an automatic gear -
box, you will have to get used to not
using your left foot, and not using this
foot to brake.
When driving, if you lift your foot off the
accelerator pedal or depress the brake
pedal, the motor generates electrical
current during deceleration, and this
energy is used to brake the vehicle and
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.
Special conditions
After a maximum charge of the battery
and during the first few miles of using
the vehicle, the engine brake will be
temporarily reduced. Please adapt your
driving style appropriately. Bad weather, flooded roads:Do not drive through
floods if the depth of water
is above the lower edge of
the wheel rims.
Obstructions to the driver
On the driver ’s side, only
use mats suitable for the
vehicle, attached with the
pre-fitted components, and check
the fitting regularly. Do not lay one
mat on top of another.
t here is a risk of wedging the
pedals

important recommendations for charging your vehiclePlease read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow these instructions may lead to a risk of fire, serious injury
or electric shocks which could result in death.
installation for using a standard charging cord
Have a special wall socket installed by a qualified professional.
installation for using an occasional charging cord
Have a qualified professional check that each socket you intend to use with the occasional charging cord complies with the
standards and regulations in force in your country, especially that they have:
– a Type A residual differential current of 30 mA;
– a device to protect against overvoltage (16A fuse or circuit breaker for the socket used);
– protection against overvoltage relating to lightning in exposed areas.
You are recommended to test the residual differential current device every month.
You are recommended to check regularly the domestic power supply as well as the special wall socket. In the event of dete-
rioration (corrosion, browning, etc.), do not use it.
Please read the instructions that come with the occasional charging cord carefully to learn about usage precautions and how
to use the cord.
charging
Do not do anything to the vehicle during charging (washing, working in \
the engine compartment, etc.).
In the event of the presence of water, signs of corrosion or foreign bodies in the charging cord connector or in the vehicle charg-
ing socket, do not charge the vehicle. Fire hazard.
Do not attempt to touch the cord contacts, the domestic socket or the ve\
hicle charging socket, or introduce objects into them.
Never plug the charging cord into a multiple socket or an extension lead\
.
Do not remove or change the vehicle charging socket or the charging cord\
. Fire hazard.
Do not modify the installation during charging.
In the event of an impact, even slight, against the charging socket or valve, have them checked by an authorised dealer as
soon as possible.
Take care of the cord: do not tread on it, immerse it in water or pull on it or let anything knock against it. Check regularly that
the charging cord is in good condition. In the event of deterioration (\
corrosion, browning, cuts, etc.), do not use it.

Child safety: general information
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 vehi-
cle 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 fin -
ished growing. The seat belt alone
would not provide suitable protection.
Use an approved child seat and ensure
you use it correctly.
A collision at 30 mph
(50 km/h) is the same as fall-
ing a distance of 10 metres.
Transporting a child without
a restraint is the equivalent of allow-
ing him or her to play on a fourth -
floor balcony without railings.
Never travel with a child held in your
arms. In the event of an accident,
you will not be able to keep hold of
the child, even if you yourself are
wearing a seat belt.
If your vehicle has been involved in
a road accident, replace the child
seat and have the seat belts and
ISOFIX anchorage points checked.
To prevent the doors being
opened, use the “Child
safety” device (refer to the
information on “Opening
and closing the doors” in Section 1).
D r i v e r ’s r e s p o n s i b i l i t y

activating equipment such as the
electric windows or by locking the
