This driver’s handbook contains the information necessary:
– for you to familiarise yourself with your vehicle, to use it to its best\
advantage and to benefit fully from the all the func tions and
the technical developments it incorporates.
– to ensure that it always gives the best performance by following the sim\
ple, but comprehensive advice concerning regular main -
tenance.
– to enable you to deal quickly with minor faults not requiring specialist\
attention.
It is well worth taking a few minutes to read this handbook to familiari\
se yourself with the information and guidelines it cont ains
about the vehicle and its functions and new features. If certain points \
are still unclear, our Network technicians will be only too
pleased to provide you with any additional information.
To help you, you will find the following symbols:
 and  visible in the vehicle, indicate that you should consult the manual for\
detailed information and/or limits on opera-
tions with respect to your vehicle’s equipment.
Welcome to your new electric vehicle
The descriptions of the models given in this handbook are based on the t\
echnical specifications at the time of writing. This hand-
book covers all items of equipment (both standard and optional) available for these models but whether or not these are
fitted to the vehicle depends on the version, options selected and the c\
ountry where the vehicle is sold.
This handbook may also contain information about items of equipment to b\
e introduced later in the model year.
Throughout the manual, the “approved Dealer” is your RENAULT Dealer. anywhere in the manual indicates a hazard, danger or a safety recommenda\
tion.
Enjoy driving your new vehicle.

(depending on vehicle)
Display the “Clock” page on the instru-
ment panel by pressing one of the but-
tons on stalk 1.
CLOCK AND EXTERIOR TEMPERATURE
Exterior temperature
indicator
As ice formation is related
to climatic exposure, local
air humidity and temperature, the
external temperature alone is not
sufficient to detect ice.
If the electrical supply is cut (battery
disconnected, broken supply wire,
etc.), the clock will lose its time set-
ting. The time must then be set.

For safety reasons, carry
out any adjustments when
the vehicle is not being
driven.
After two seconds, the hours and min-
utes start flashing.
Press and hold the bottom button to
enter the hour setting mode.
When only the hours flash, press the
top button to scroll through them.
Press and hold the bottom button to
enter the minute setting mode.
When only the minutes flash, press the
top button to scroll through them.
Confirm by pressing and holding the
bottom button on stalk 1.
Vehicles equipped with a navigation
system, radio, etc.
Refer to the equipment instructions for
the special features.Exterior temperature
On equipped vehicles, the exterior tem-
perature is displayed at A. If it is be-
tween -3°C and +3°C, the °C charac-
ters flash (signalling a risk of ice).

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (1/2)
The vehicle range depends on vehicle
usage conditions, equipment fitted and
the user’s driving style. To optimise the
energy consumption, please refer to
the following advice.
Depending on the vehicle, you will be
provided with functions which enable
you to lower the energy consumption:
– ECO mode, activated by the ECO button;
– charge meter.
ECO mode
The ECO function optimises vehicle
range by limiting engine performance.
It acts upon certain power consuming
systems in the vehicle (heating, air con-
ditioning, power-assisted steering etc.)
and on certain driving actions (acceler-
ation, cruise control, deceleration etc.). Activating the function
Press switch 1.
Warning light
2 will come on the instru-
ment panel and the integrated warning
light on the switch will light up.
While driving, it is possible to exit the
ECO mode temporarily in order to im-
prove engine performance.
To do this, press the accelerator pedal
firmly and fully.
2
1
ECO mode is reactivated when you
take pressure off the accelerator pedal.
Disabling the function
Press switch 1.
Warning light 2 and the integrated
warning light on the switch will go out.
The cruise control switches to
standby each time the ECO mode
is activated or deactivated. Please
refer to the information on “Cruise
control/speed limiter: cruise control
function” in Section 2.

2.8
VEHICLE RANGE: recommendations (1/2)
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;
– vehicle loading.
Furthermore, activating ECO mode en-
ables the vehicle to automatically take
charge of all energy-consuming ele-
ments to reduce their consumption to
the fullest possible extent. Please refer
to the information on “Eco-driving” in
Section 2.
Speed and driving style
High speeds will reduce your vehicle’s
range.
A “sporty” driving style reduces your
vehicle range: opt for a “lighter” driving
style.Drive at a constant speed.
Adapt your driving style to avoid exces-
sive energy consumption. Please refer
to the information on “Charge meter” in
Section 2.
Anticipate traffic changes by lifting
your foot off the accelerator pedal in
order to recover energy. Please refer
to the information on “Charge meter” in
Section 2.
Favour ECO mode (please see infor-
mation about “ECO mode function” in
Section 2).
Road type
Do not try to maintain the same speed
up a hill, accelerate no more than you
would on flat ground. Keep your foot
in the same position on the accelera-
tor pedal.

2.9
VEHICLE RANGE: recommendations (2/2)
Heating levels
The use of heating or air conditioning
reduces vehicle range.
Before using the vehicle, opt for “air
conditioning programming” mode to
maintain vehicle range (please refer to
the information on “Heating, air condi-
tioning programming” in Section 3).
When driving, minimise the use of heat-
ing and air conditioning and opt for
using the additional heating (please
refer to the information on “Additional
heating” in Section 3).
Tyres
An under-inflated tyre increases energy
consumption. Comply with the speci-
fied tyre pressures for your vehicle.
When driving, use tyres made by the
same manufacturer, with the same di-
mensions, type and structure as the
original tyres. The use of non-regula-
tion tyres significantly reduces vehicle
range.
Please see the information on “Tyre
pressure” in Section 4.
Vehicle loading
Avoid pointlessly overloading your ve-
hicle.

2.22
Driving
Once a cruising speed is memorised
and the cruise control function is active,
you may lift your foot off the accelera-
tor pedal.
Switching on
Press switch 1 side .
Indicator light 6 comes on, lit green, and
the message “CRUISE CONTROL” ap-
pears on the instrument panel, accom-
panied by dashes to indicate that the
cruise control function is activated and
waiting to store a cruising speed.
Please note that you must
keep your feet close to the
pedals in order to react in
an emergency.
CRUISE CONTROL (2/4)
67
Activating cruise controlAt a steady speed (above 18 mph
(30 km/h approximately)) press switch 2
or (+): the function is activated and the
current speed is saved.
The cruising speed replaces the dashes
and the cruise control is confirmed by
the appearance of a message on the
instrument panel and warning light 7 lit
green, as well as warning light 6.

The cruise control switches to standby each time the ECO mode is activat\
ed or
deactivated. Please refer to the information on “ECO mode function”\
in Section 2.
