o obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles
located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well

Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
The heating and air conditioning use
energy from the main battery. Their use
increases electrical consumption and
reduces the range of the vehicle.
Remember to switch off the heating or
air conditioning as soon as they are no
longer needed.
During normal charging of the
vehicle, the ventilation, heating and
air
conditioning can be activated from
the ACC position of the switch.
During fast charging of the vehicle, the
ventilation, heating and air conditioning
cannot be activated.

react at any time to any eventuality.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate
the need to brake and increase the distance
from other vehicles.If you are obliged to drive through water:
-

c
heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves
that might be generated by other users.
-

d
