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.

ELECTRIC VEHICLE: introduction (4/6)
The A symbol identifies the electrical
elements in your vehicle which may
present health risks.
A
400 volt electrical circuit
The 400V electrical circuit can be rec-
ognised by the orange 4 cables and by
the elements signalled using the
ṑ
symbol.
The vehicle traction system
in an electric vehicle uses
an alternating voltage of ap-
proximately 400 volts. This
system can get hot during and after
switching off the ignition. Respect
warning messages given on the
labels stuck onto the vehicle.
All interventions or modifications to
the 400V 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.
The risk of serious burns or elec-
tric shocks can lead to death.

1.7
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 refer to the information on the
“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.)
Each time the ignition is switched off,
the ventilation will be switched off after
about ten seconds.
Your electric vehicle is
silent, so when you get out,
always check that the gear
selector is on P, engage the
handbrake and switch off the igni-
tion.
RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY
ELECTRIC VEHICLE: introduction (6/6)

1.13
ELECTRIC VEHICLE: charging (5/8)
Charging connection 2
The vehicle has a charging connection
located at the front of the vehicle. Avoid charging and parking your ve-
hicle in extreme temperatures (hot or
cold).
When the vehicle is parked in tempera-
tures lower than around -25°C, the bat-
tery cannot be charged.
To preserve the service life of your trac-
tion battery, avoid parking the vehicle
for more than three months with high
charge, especially when the weather is
very hot.
You must charge the traction bat-
tery after driving in very cold weather.
Otherwise, charging may take a longer
period of time or even become impos-
sible.
Recommendations
– In extreme heat, favour parking and
recharging the vehicle in a shaded/
covered location.
– Charging can be performed in the rain or snow.
2
In the absence of any protection
against overvoltage, you are recom-
mended not to charge the vehicle in
stormy weather (lightning, etc.).
Note:
If in a snowy environment, remove
snow from the vehicle charging area
before plugging in or disconnecting.
Snow in the socket may block the in-
sertion of the charging cord plug.
The traction battery charging time
depends on the amount of energy
remaining, the power delivered by
the charging terminal and the tem-
perature conditions (hot or cold).
The information is displayed on
the instrument panel during charg-
ing. Please see the information on
“Displays and indicators” in
Section 1.
In the event of a problem, we rec-
ommend that you replace it with an
identical cord. Please see an autho-
rised dealer.

CHILD SAFETY: General information (1/2)
Carrying children
Please ensure that you comply with the
legislation of your country.
Children, and adults, must be correctly
seated and strapped in for all journeys.
The children being carried in your vehi-
cle are your responsibility.
A child is not a miniature adult. Children
are at risk of specific injuries as their
muscles and bones have not yet fin-
ished growing. The seat belt alone
would not provide suitable protection.
Use an approved child seat and ensure
you use it correctly.
A collision at 30 mph (50
km/h) is the same as fall-
ing a distance of 10 metres.
Transporting a child without
a restraint is the equivalent of allow-
ing him or her to play on a fourth-
floor balcony without railings.
Never travel with a child held in your
arms. In the event of an accident,
you will not be able to keep hold of
the child, even if you yourself are
wearing a seat belt.
If your vehicle has been involved in
a road accident, replace the child
seat and have the seat belts and
ISOFIX anchorage points checked.
To prevent the doors being
opened, use the “Child
safety” device (refer to the
information on “Opening
and closing the doors” in Section 1).
