CHARGE METER/ECO-CONSUMPTION
Eco-consumption (Éco ScorE)This function shows the driver whether
their driving style is suitable for an opti-
mum vehicle range.
To display this function, press the end
of the windscreen wiper stalk as many
times as necessary.
The squares C indicate increased
range: the more squares there are, the
more range there is remaining for the
vehicle.
Éco ScorE is calculated using the aver-
age from the last 1.8 miles (3 kilome-
tres) travelled. After the traction battery
is charged, it is calculated based on the
last 93 miles (150 kilometres).
Power recovery
B
When driving, if you lift your foot off the
accelerator pedal, the motor generates
electrical current during deceleration,
and this energy is used to recharge the
traction battery.Charge meter
The charge meter gives the driver a
real-time view of the vehicle’s remain-
ing power.
Power consumption A
The traction battery supplies the elec-
trical energy required for the motor to
move the vehicle.

12V BATTERY (1/2)
The secondary battery is a 12 V battery:
this supplies the energy required to op-
erate vehicle equipment (lights, wind-
screen wipers, audio system, etc) and
certain safety systems, such as ABS.
For your safety and the
proper operation of the
vehicle’s electrical equip-
ment (lights, windscreen
wipers, etc.), any work on the se-
condary 12V battery (removal, dis-
connection, etc.) must be carried
out by a specialist.
Risk of serious burns or electric
shocks.
Respect categorically the replace-
ment intervals (without exceeding
them) as stated in the maintenance
document.
The battery is a specific type.
Please ensure it is replaced with the
same type.
Contact an Authorised Dealer.

12 VOLT BATTERY (2/2)Connecting a charger to the
accessories socket
Only use a charger that is compatible
with a nominal voltage of 14.4 volts
and a current limited to 5 amps.
With the ignition switched on, plug
the power supply into the accessories
socket 7 located in the storage com-
partment 8. Please consult an authori-
sed dealer.
Recharging the 12 volt
battery
It is difficult to access the 12 volt bat-
tery. It is therefore recommended that
you attach the vehicle plug to a power
source: energy is supplied to both the
12 volt battery and the traction battery
at the same time.
Please refer to the information on
“Electric vehicle: charging” in Section 1.
Do not forget to switch off the ignition
when replacing the traction battery.
Immobilising the vehicle for an
extended period of time
Before immobilisation, you should
make sure that:
– the ignition is switched off;
– the side lights and hazard warning lights are switched off;
– the traction battery is fully charged.
After lengthy immobilisation, it is normal
to find the traction battery charge
level down. In this case, recharge it
(see “Electric vehicle: charging” in
Section 1).
Do not use booster cables
to start the vehicle.
Risk of serious injury.

Only connect accessories
with a maximum power of

cessory sockets are used
at the same time, the total power of
the connected accessories must not
exceed 65 watts.
