BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (1/2)
– Scrape off mud or dirt without pre-wetting.
– 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.

OPERATING FAULTS (1/3)
The following advice will enable you to carry out quick, temporary repai\
rs. For safety reasons you should always contact
an approved dealer as soon as possible.
FAULTSPOSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO
Impossible to charge the
traction battery. No electrical current in domes-
tic sockets or poor connection of
cable to domestic socket. Check your installation (circuit breaker, programmer,
etc.).
Check the connections (power socket, etc.). Please
refer to the information on “Electric vehicle: charging”
in Section 1.
The outdoor temperature is ex-
tremely low. Recharge your vehicle in a more suitable environ-
ment. Please refer to the information on “Electric ve-
hicle: charging” in Section 1.
The cord is defective. Please see an authorised dealer to replace it.
The steering column remains
locked. Steering wheel locked.
Move the steering wheel while pressing the engine
start button (refer to Section 2 “Starting the engine”).
Vibrations. Tyres incorrectly inflated or dam-
aged. Check the tyre pressures. If this is not the problem,
have them checked by an approved Dealer.
The engine performance is
limited. The outdoor temperature is ex-
tremely high. Opt for a calmer driving style.
The traction battery reserve has
been reached. Recharge the traction battery as soon as possible.
Please refer to the information on “Electric vehicle:
charging” in Section 1.
The vehicle will not start. The charging flap is open or not
properly closed. Check that the charging flap is correctly locked. In
other cases, contact an authorised dealer as soon as
possible.
