ECO mode
ECO mode is a function which opti-
mises vehicle range. It acts upon cer-
tain power consuming systems in
the vehicle (heating, air conditioning,
power-assisted steering etc.) and on
certain driving actions (acceleration,
cruise control, deceleration etc.).
Activating the function
Press switch 3.
The warning light 5
 is displayed
on the instrument panel and the lower
part of the instrument panel 4 goes

VEHICLE RANGE: recommendations (1/2)
A “sporty” driving style reduces your
vehicle range: opt for a “lighter” driving
style.
Advice:
– drive at a constant speed.
– keep an eye on the tools available to you to view the road conditions
(charge meter, current consump-
tion, journey log, etc). Please refer
to the information on “Eco-driving” in
Section 2;– adapt your driving style to avoid ex- cessive energy consumption
– favour power recovery: anticipate traffic changes by lifting your foot off
the accelerator pedal or by braking
gradually.
Road type
Do not try to maintain the same speed
up a hill, accelerate no more than you
would on the level. Keep your foot in
the same position on the accelerator
pedal.
The vehicle range is approved for a
mixed NEDC cycle (New European
Driving Cycle).
In real usage, the range of an electric
vehicle may vary depending on several
factors over which you have partial con-
trol, which may make a considerable
difference to the vehicle range. These
factors are:
– speed and driving style;
– type of road;
– heating level;
– tyres;
– use of electrical accessories;
– vehicle loading.
Furthermore, activating ECO mode en-
ables the vehicle to automatically take
charge of all energy consuming ele-
ments (engine power, heating, etc.) to
reduce their consumption to the fullest
possible extent. Please refer to the in-
formation on “Eco-driving” in Section 2.
Speed and driving style
High speeds will reduce your vehicle’s
range.

Electronic stability program
ESC with understeer control
and traction control
Electronic stability control ESC
This system helps you to keep control
of the vehicle in critical driving condi-
tions (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip
on a bend, etc.).
Operating principle
A sensor in the steering wheel detects
the direction selected by the driver.
Other sensors throughout the vehicle
measure the actual direction.
The system compares driver input to
the actual trajectory of the vehicle and
corrects the trajectory if necessary by
controlling the braking of certain wheels
and/or engine power. In the event that
the system is engaged, indicator light
 flashes on the instrument panel.Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the
ESC in the case of pronounced un-
dersteer (loss of front axle road hol-
ding).
Traction control
This system helps to limit wheelspin of
the drive wheels and to control the vehi-
cle when pulling away accelerating or
decelerating.
Operating principle
Using the wheel sensors, the system
measures and compares the speed of
the drive wheels at all times and slows
down their over-rotation. If a wheel is
starting to slip, the system brakes au-
tomatically until the drive supplied be-
comes compatible with the level of grip
under the wheel again.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operat-
ing fault the message “Check ESC” and
warning light
© appear on the in-
strument panel. In this case, the ESC
and traction control system are deacti-
vated.
Consult an approved dealer.

Regenerative braking system
When braking, the regenerative braking
system can convert the energy pro-
duced by the vehicle deceleration into
electric energy.
This will recharge the 400V traction bat-
tery and gain greater vehicle range.Operating faults
– © lights up on the instrument
panel, alongside the message
“Check braking system”: braking as-
sistance is available at all times.
Under these conditions, the feel of
applying the brake pedal may be dif-
ferent.
You are recommended to apply
strong continuous pressure to the
pedal.
Please see an authorised dealer.
–
û lights up on the instrument
panel, alongside the message

AUTOMATIC AIR-CONDITIONING (1/4)
The system controls the fan speed, air
distribution, air recirculation,starting
and stopping the air conditioning, the
heating and air temperature.
AUTO: allows the selected comfort
level to be best attained, depending on
the exterior conditions. Press button 1.
Adjusting the air temperatureTurn control 2 to obtain the desired
temperature. The further the pointer is
away from the heating stop position,
the higher the temperature will be.
If the outdoor temperature is too high,
the heating decreases automatically.
This limits energy consumption and
maintains the range of the vehicle.
Special note: the highest and lowest
settings allow the system to produce
maximum hot or cold temperature
levels (“ LOW” and “HIGH" indicated on
the multimedia display).

Deactivating the air-
conditioning
The button 5 stops (warning light on)
the operation of the air-conditioning.
To activate the air-conditioning, press
the button 1 . The integrated warning
light in the button 5 will go out.
The air conditioning system is used
for:
– lowering the temperature inside the passenger compartment;
– eliminating condensation more quickly.
The air conditioning does not operate
when the exterior temperature is low.

AUTOMATIC AIR-CONDITIONING (2/4)
The displayed temperature values
show a comfort level.
When starting the engine, increas-
ing or decreasing the value dis-
played will not allow the com-
fort level to be reached any more
quickly. The system will always op-
timise the temperature increase or
decrease (the ventilation system
does not start instantly at maximum
speed: it gradually increases). This
may take several minutes.
Generally speaking, unless there is
a particular reason not to, the dash-
board air vents should remain open.
Preferably, use automatic mode.
In automatic mode (the button’s
warning light 1 is lit), all heating and
air-conditioning functions are con-
trolled by the system.
You can always modify the choice
of system; in this case, the warning
light in the button 1 goes out.
Advice: to optimize vehicle range, de-
activate the air conditioning when the
outside temperature is comfortable.
Clear View function
Press button 3 – the integrated indica-
tor light comes on.
This system quickly demists and de-
ices the windscreen and the front side
windows. It requires the automatic
usage of the air-conditioning or the
heating.
To exit this function, press the button
marked 3.
