STARTING/STOPPING THE ENGINE
Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehi-
cle with the key inside and
never leave a child (or a
pet) unsupervised, even for a short
while.
There is a risk that they could start
the engine or operate electrical
equipment (electric windows etc.)
and trap part of their body (neck,
arms, hands, etc.).
Risk of serious injury.
Never switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has come to a complete
stop. Switching off the engine dis-
ables the assistance equipment:
brakes, power-assisted steering,
etc., and the passive safety devices
such as airbagsand pretensioners.

CHARGE METER
The traction battery supplies the elec-
trical energy required for the motor to
move the vehicle.
When you lift your foot off the accelera-
tor pedal, the motor generates electri-
cal current during deceleration, and this
energy is used to recharge the traction
battery.
“Energy recovery” usage
zone A
Indicates that the vehicle is generating
energy and recharging the battery.Energy recovery features
The motor generates a more significant
engine brake than a conventional vehi-
cle.
After a maximum charge for the traction
battery and during the first few miles
when driving the vehicle, the engine
brake is temporarily reduced. Please
adapt your driving style accordingly.
“Neutral” position
B
Indicates nil consumption.
“Recommended
consumption” usage zone C
Indicates “economical” energy con-
sumption
“Consumption not
recommended” usage zone D
Indicates significant energy consump-
tion.

AIR CONDITIONING/HEATING: programming (1/2)
Adjusting the programming
This function enables the electric net-
work (and the not the traction battery)
to be used under certain conditions, in
order to obtain a comfortable tempera-
ture prior to using the vehicle.
It triggers the heating in cold weather
and the fan in warm weather.
1
Operating conditions
– the ignition must be switched off;
– the battery charging must be finished for the function to be triggered;
– the vehicle has to be plugged into the mains;
and
– control 1 must be position
.
2
In cold weather (< 0°C), you are rec-
ommended to position control 2 in
air recirculation position. This en-
ables greater efficiency and lower
energy consumption in the passen-
ger compartment ambient tempera-
ture.

Replacement intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Document for
your vehicle.
LEVELS (1/2)
CoolantThe level is checked with the engine
switched off and on flat ground. The
level when cold must be between the
“MIN” and “MAX” marks on coolant res-
ervoir 1 and 2 measures. Top this level up when cold before the
“MINIMUM” mark is reached. Checking intervals
Check the coolant level regularly
(very severe damage is likely to be
caused to the engine if it runs out of
coolant).
If the level needs to be topped up, only
use products approved by our Technical
Department which ensure:
– protection against freezing;
– anticorrosion protection of the cool-
ing system.
No operations should be
carried out on the cooling
circuit when the engine is
hot.
Risk of burns.
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.

The engine may be hot
when carrying out opera-
tions in close proximity. In
addition, the engine cooling
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
Do not do any work under
the bonnet when the vehicle
is charging or when the igni-
tion is switched on.

4.6
Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Document for
your vehicle.
Handle the battery with care
as it contains sulphuric acid,
which must not come into
contact with eyes or skin. If
it does, wash the affected area with
plenty of cold water. If necessary,
consult a doctor.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot
objects and sparks do not come into
contact with the battery as there is a
risk of explosion.
12 VOLT BATTERY (1/2)
Never open the battery cover 1.
The charge status of the 12V battery
can decrease, especially if you use
your vehicle:
– when the exterior temperature drops;
– after extended use of energy-con- suming devices (radio etc.) with the
engine switched off.
Replacement
As this operation is complex, we advise
you to contact an approved Dealer.
1
The battery is a specific
type, please ensure it is
replaced with the same
type. Consult an approved
dealer.
Do not work on the 12 volt
battery (charging, replac-
ing, etc.):
– without switching off the
ignition;
– if your traction battery is charg- ing.
Please refer to the information
on “Electric vehicle: charging” in
Section 1.
Risk of serious injury.
Replacing the 12V battery
For your own safety, you
must respect the replace-
ment intervals (without
exceeding them) as stated in the
maintenance document.
