2017 RENAULT TWIZY handbrake

1.4
The vehicle drive system
in an electric vehicle uses
a direct voltage of ap-
proximately 58 volts. This
system can get hot during and after
switching off the ignition.
All interventions or modifications to
the vehicle’s electrical system (com-
ponents, cables, connectors, trac-
tion battery) are strictly prohibited
due to the risks they present to your
safety. Please contact an authorised
dealer.
Risk of fire, burns or electric
shocks which may lead to seri-
ous injury.
A
ELECTRIC VEHICLE: introduction (3/5)
The A symbol denotes the electrical
elements of your vehicle which may
present health risks.
“58 volt” electrical circuit
The electrical circuit can be recognised
by the orange cables and by the ele-
ments signalled using the
ṑ symbol.
Noise
Electric vehicles are particularly quiet.
You will not yet necessarily be used to
it, and neither will other road users. It
is difficult for them to hear the vehicle
when it is moving.
We would therefore recommend that
you are aware of the horn and make
use of it, especially when driving in a
built-up area or when manoeuvring
(please see the information under
“Horn” in Section 1).
As the motor is silent, you will hear
noises that you are not used to hearing
(aerodynamic noises, tyre noise, etc.).
When charging, the vehicle may emit
noises (fan, relays, etc).
Your electric vehicle is
silent, so when you get
out, always check that the
handbrake is engaged and
switch off the ignition.
Risk of serious injury.

1.15
ENGINE IMMOBILISER
This prevents the vehicle being
driven by anyone not in possession
of the vehicle’s coded ignition key.
The vehicle is automatically protected
after the engine is switched off.
Any unauthorised work
carried out on the engine
immobiliser (computers,
wiring, etc.) could be dan-
gerous. Work must be carried out
by qualified personnel.
Operating principle
When the engine is started, warning
light 1 remains lit for a few seconds,
then goes out (refer to the information
on “Starting, stopping the engine” in
Section 2).
If the code is not recognised, the warn-
ing light flashes rapidly and the vehicle
will not start. Vehicle protection tell-tale light
After the ignition has been switched off,
warning light
1 flashes and the vehicle
is protected.
Operating fault warning light
If the warning light continues to flash or
stays lit up permanently following an at-
tempt to start the engine, this indicates
a fault in the system.
In this case, use the second key (sup-
plied with the vehicle). If the fault is still
present, contact your authorised dealer,
as only they are qualified to repair the
engine immobiliser system.

When the engine immobiliser
system is activated, the handbrake
cannot be released.
