Avoid charging and parking your vehi-
cle in extreme temperatures (hot or
cold).
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.
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).
To avoid disturbing the char-
ging monitoring system,
do not install any antistatic
strip to the vehicle.

snow from the vehicle charging area
before plugging in or disconnecting.
