INDICATORS

Traction battery - Energy consumption and generation indicator



"Neutral" position
On switching on the ignition, your
vehicle neither consumes nor
generates energy through its electric
drive train: after sweeping over its
travel, the needle is in the "neutral"
position.
With the motor stopped, ignition
off, opening the driver's door
wakes the energy indicator,
which places itself in the "neutral"
position. The needle moves to the right, in
proportion to the consumption of
energy by the drive train.

Energy consumption
The needle moves to the left, in
proportion to the level of charge going
into the traction battery, during periods
of deceleration and braking.

"Charge" zone The needle is in this zone when the
vehicle is used in a way that moderates
the consumption of electric energy and
optimises its range.


"Optimum" zone

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS

Traction battery - State of charge indicator

The state of charge of the traction
battery is displayed continuously when
the vehicle is switched on.
Low energy alerts
Two successive energy level alerts
indicate that the energy available has
dropped to a low level:
With the motor stopped, ignition
off, opening the driver's door
wakes the indicator.
1st level: Reserve

This warning lamp comes
on when the state of charge
of the traction battery is low.
Illumination of this warning
lamp is accompanied by an
audible signal.
2nd level: Critical


This warning lamp, associated
with the reserve warning lamp,
comes on in the instrument
panel when the state of charge
of the traction battery is critical.
Illumination of this warning
lamp is accompanied by a
regular audible warning.
Check the remaining range
indicated in the instrument panel
screen.
Put the vehicle on charge as soon as
possible. Put the vehicle on charge.
The remaining range is no longer
calculated. The power of the drive
train is progressively reduced.
The heating and air conditioning are
stopped (even if the needle indicating
their consumption is not in the ECO

position). From this state of charge of the
battery, the level of heating or
air conditioning is progressively
reduced.
For more information, refer to
pages 8, 13-14.

Heating and air conditioning systems energy consumption indicator

The consumption of electrical energy
related to the heating and air conditioning
is represented by this gauge. Excessive use, particularly at low
speed, can reduce the range of
your vehicle considerably.
Remember to optimise their use and
check their settings at each start so as
to maximise the range of the vehicle.

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
WARNING AND INDICATOR LAMPS


Lamp

State

Cause

Actions / Observations


Ready
On,
accompanied
by an audible
signal when it
comes on. The vehicle is ready to drive. The lamp is on while the vehicle is
powered up.
You can press the accelerator and
use the air conditioning or heating.

Reserve
On,
accompanied
by an audible
signal. The state of charge of the
traction battery is low. Check the range remaining.
Put the vehicle on charge as soon
as possible.

Protection of the
traction battery
On,
accompanied
by a regular
audible signal. The state of charge of the
traction battery is critical. When the state of charge of the
battery is low, reduction of motor
power is progressive progressive.
You must put the vehicle on
charge.
On. Maximum motor power is not
available. If the warning lamp does not go
off, contact a dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

Traction
battery
charge
On. The traction battery is on
charge. The lamp goes out once charging
is complete
Flashing. The vehicle cannot be started
as the charging cable is still
connected to the vehicle's
socket. Check the charging cable
connection.
Disconnect the charging cable.

Auto-diagnosis
of the main
electrical system
On. Fault detected in the main
electric system. Have it checked by a dealer or
qualifi ed workshop as soon as
possible.

Incident in the
drive train
On.

You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Have it checked by a dealer or qualifi ed
workshop as soon as possible.

DISPLAY SCREENS

Screen (depending on
equipment level)
Each press of the button on the end
of the windscreen wiper stalk displays
successively the different trip computer
information, depending on the type of
screen.

Setting the units
Range
It displays:


- the estimated range remaining,

- the additional range available
by using the ECO
mode on the
heating and air conditioning control
panel,

- the additional range after stopping
the heating and air conditioning.

They display:


- a trip distance recorder (choice of
trip 1 or 2),

- the average energy consumption from
the battery (over 62 miles (100 km)),

- the speed.


Trips (1 and 2)
This screen displays an estimate of the
number of miles or kilometres driving
range before the battery has to be
charged.
