Forecast range display features
– Sporty driving will strongly affect the forecast range value. Once you
return to a calmer driving style, you
will need to drive for several miles to
return to an estimate that is closer to
the real situation;
– the forecast range displayed after charging the traction battery is calcu-
lated based on the power consump-
tion over the last 93 miles (150 kilo-
metres) travelled.
Instrument panel in miles
It is possible to switch to km/h.
Press button 5 and switch on the igni-
tion.
The speed measurement unit indica-
tor flashes for approximately three sec-
onds, then the new unit flashes on the
display and is then lit up continuously:
release button 5.
To return to miles, proceed in the same
manner.Display 4

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 this could start
the engine or operate electrical
equipment.
Risk of serious injury.
Never switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has come to a complete
stop. Once the engine has stopped,
the passive safety devices such as
airbag will no longer operate.
The vehicle can only be started if
the charging cord is unplugged from
the vehicle and stored away.

12 VOLT BATTERY (2/2)Connecting a charger to the
accessories socket
Only use a charger that is compatible
with a nominal voltage of 14.4 volts
and a current limited to 5 amps.
With the ignition switched on, plug
the power supply into the accessories
socket 7 located in the storage com-
partment 8. Please consult an authori-
sed dealer.
Recharging the 12 volt
battery
It is difficult to access the 12 volt bat-
tery. It is therefore recommended that
you attach the vehicle plug to a power
source: energy is supplied to both the
12 volt battery and the traction battery
at the same time.
Please refer to the information on
“Electric vehicle: charging” in Section 1.
Do not forget to switch off the ignition
when replacing the traction battery.
Immobilising the vehicle for an
extended period of time
Before immobilisation, you should
make sure that:
– the ignition is switched off;
– the side lights and hazard warning lights are switched off;
– the traction battery is fully charged.
After lengthy immobilisation, it is normal
to find the traction battery charge level
down. In this case, recharge it (see
“Electric vehicle: charging” in Section
1).
Do not use booster cables
to start the vehicle.
Risk of serious injury.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (1/2)
– Scrape off mud or dirt without prewetting.
– Allow dirt to accumulate.
– Allow rust to form following minor im- pacts.
– Use solvents not approved by our Technical Department to remove
stains as this could damage the
paintwork.
– Drive frequently in snow or muddy conditions without washing the ve-
hicle, particularly under the wheel
arches and body.
– minor impacts
You should take a minimum number of
precautions in order to safeguard your
vehicle against such risks and not to
lose the benefit of your vehicle’s anti-
corrosion protection.
What you should not do
– Degrease or clean mechanical com-
ponents, underneath the body, parts
with hinges (e.g. inside the fuel tank
flap) and painted plastic external fit-
tings using high-pressure cleaning
equipment or by spraying on prod-
ucts not approved by our Technical
Department. If adequate precautions
are not taken, this could give rise to
corrosion, damage to paintwork or
operating faults.
– Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or freezing temperatures.
A well-maintained vehicle will last
longer. It is therefore recommended to
maintain the exterior of the vehicle reg-
ularly.
Some parts may look different over time
(e.g.: bleaching, etc.)
Protection against the effects
of corrosive agents
Although your vehicle has been treated
with very effective anti-corrosion prod-
ucts, it nevertheless remains subject to
the effects of:
– corrosives in the atmosphere
– atmospheric pollution (built-up
and industrial areas),
– saline atmospheres (near the
sea, particularly in hot weather),
– seasonal and damp weather con-
ditions, (e.g. road salt in winter,
water from road cleaners, etc.).
– abrasives Wind-borne dust and sand, mud,
road grit thrown up by other vehi-
cles, etc.
Washing the vehicle
Never wash the vehicle with
a roller or a high-pressure
spray, and under no circum-
stances when charging.
This risks damaging the electrical
circuit.
