regulations in force in your country, and especially that they have:
– a Type A 30 mA residual current differential device;
– 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.

Avoid charging and parking your ve-
hicle in extreme temperatures (hot or
cold).
Favour charging the traction battery in
mild temperatures.
When the outdoor temperature falls
below zero or is very high, the traction
battery charging time will be longer.
Charging may become impossible
when the temperature is extremely low.
When the vehicle is parked for more
than seven days in temperatures below
about -25°C, charging the traction bat-
tery can become impossible.
When the vehicle is parked for more
than three months with near zero
charge, charging the battery can
become impossible.
To preserve the service life of your trac-
tion battery, avoid parking the vehi-
cle for more than one month with high
charge, especially when the weather is
very hot. Recommendations
Favour parking and recharging the ve-
hicle in a shaded/covered location.
Wear to the charging cord
protective sleeve.
The charging cord must be
replaced in the event that
the blue protective sleeve
is damaged. Please contact
an authorised dealer.
