Changing settings
► In the Heating Functions or Ventilated Seats
page, select the relevant seat.

levels: "1" (Low), "2" (Normal) or "3" (High).
The settings are memorised when the ignition is
switched off.
Do not use the function when the seat is
not occupied.
Reduce the heating intensity as soon as
possible.
When the seat and passenger compartment
have reached a satisfactory temperature,
switch the function off; reducing electrical
consumption in turn decreases energy
consumption.
Prolonged use of heated seats is not
recommended for people with sensitive
skin.
There is a risk of burns for people whose
perception of heat is impaired (e.g. illness,
taking medication).
To keep the heated pad intact and to prevent a
short circuit:
–

Do no
t place heavy or sharp objects on the
seat.
–

Do no
t kneel or stand on the seat.
–

Do no
t spill liquids onto the seat.

Traction battery
The Li-ion (Lithium-ion) traction battery stores the
electrical energy needed to propel the vehicle.
It is located under the rear seats.
The traction battery's range varies depending
on the type of driving, the route, the use of
thermal comfort equipment and the ageing of its
components.
The traction battery ageing depends on
several factors, such as climatic
conditions and the distance travelled.

electric vehicle daily (charge the traction
battery below 80% as often as possible).
–

Do no
t completely discharge the battery.
–

Do no
t store the vehicle for a long period
of non-use (more than 12 hours) when the
traction battery has a low or high charge level.
Prefer a charge level between 20 and 40%.
–

Limit the use o
f fast charging.
–

Do no
t expose the vehicle to temperatures
below -30°C and above +60°C for more than
24 hours.
–

A

void charging the vehicle at negative
temperatures (except if the vehicle ran more
than 20 minutes) or above +30°C.
–

Do no
t use the vehicle's traction battery as a
generator of energy.
–

Do no
t use a generator to recharge your
vehicle's traction battery.
In the event of damage to the traction
battery
It is strictly prohibited to work on the vehicle
yourself.
Do not touch liquids coming from the battery,
and in the event of skin contact with these
products, wash abundantly with water and
contact a doctor as soon as possible.
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop to
have the system checked.
Disposal of the traction battery
The traction battery is designed for the life
of the vehicle if the recommendations of the
Manufacturer are followed.
If it becomes necessary to replace the battery,
contact the dealer for instructions on its disposal.
Improper disposal carries the risk of severe burns,
electric shock, and damage to the environment.
In accordance with regulations, the Manufacturer
ensures a second life or recycling of this
component in collaboration with qualified
operators.
