GEAR CONTROL (1/2)
Operates similar to an automatic gear-
box.
Selector lever 1
The display A on instrument panel indi-
cates the gear lever position as 3.
P : Park
R : Reverse
N : Neutral
D : Forward
Operation
Keeping your foot on the brake pedal
and with the selector lever 1 in position
P, turn the ignition.
Start the motor.
To move out of position P, you must de-
press the brake pedal before pressing
unlocking button 2.
With your foot on the brake pedal
(warning light
c in display A goes
out), move the lever out of position P.
Only engage D or R when the vehi-
cle is stopped, with your foot on the
brake and the accelerator pedal re-
leased.
1
Driving
Put lever 1 in position D.
Hill start
For hill starts, especially after a maxi-
mum traction battery charge and for the
first few miles, we recommend using
the handbrake.
While driving, press the accelerator
pedal to achieve the desired speed.
Reverse
Put lever 1 in position R.
The reversing lights will come on as
soon as reverse gear is selected (with
the ignition on).
32
A
The vehicle can only start if the gear
selector is in position P.
The vehicle can only be started if
the charging cord is unplugged from
the vehicle.

2.5
Handbrake
To release:
Pull the lever 5 up slightly, press
button 6 and then lower the lever to the
floor.
To apply:
Pull upwards, check that the vehicle is
properly immobilised.
GEAR CONTROL (2/2)/HANDBRAKE
Parking the vehicle
When the vehicle is stopped, move the
lever to position P while keeping your
foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is
in neutral and the drive wheels are me-
chanically locked by the driveshaft.
Apply the handbrake.
In the event an impact to
the underside of the vehicle
(e.g.: striking a post, raised
kerb or other street furni-
ture), this may result in damage to
the vehicle (e.g.: twisted axle), the
electrical circuit or the traction bat-
tery.
Do not touch the circuit elements or
any fluids or liquids.
To prevent any risk of accident,
have your vehicle checked by an
authorised dealer.
Risk of serious injury or electric
shock and risk to life.
When setting off , if the lever is locked
in position P even though you are
pressing the brake pedal, the lever
can be released manually. To do this,
unclip the base of the lever and simulta-
neously press at location 4 and the un-
locking button 6 on the lever.
When stationary and de-
pending on the slope and/or
vehicle load, it may be nec-
essary to pull up the hand-
brake at least two extra notches and
engage position P.
Make sure that the hand-
brake is properly released
when driving (red indicator
light off), otherwise over-
heating, or even damage, may
occur.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (2/3)
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 under-
steer (loss of front axle road holding).
Traction control
This system helps to limit wheelspin of
the drive wheels and to control the ve-
hicle 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.
The system also adjusts the engine
speed to the grip available under the
wheels, independently of the pressure
exerted on the accelerator pedal. Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
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.

2.26
Temporary deactivation of
the system
(depending on vehicle)
Press switch 2 to deactivate the system:
The indicator light built into the switch
lights up to remind you that the system
is deactivated.
Pressing the switch again will react-
ivate the system and switch off the in-
dicator light.
The system is automatically reactivated
after the ignition is switched off and the
engine restarted.
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (2/2)
Operating faultsWhen the system detects an operating
fault, a beep sounds for about 3 sec-
onds as a warning. Consult an ap-
proved dealer
In the event of an impact to
the underside of the vehicle
(e.g. striking a post, raised
kerb or other street furni-
ture) this may result in damage to
the vehicle (e.g. twisted axle), the
electrical circuit or the traction bat-
tery.
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved dealer.
2
Prolonged deactivation of the
system
You can deactivate the system perma-
nently by pressing and holding switch 2.
The warning light built into the switch
remains lit constantly.
Pressing the switch again will react-
ivate the system and switch off the in-
dicator light.

AIR CONDITIONING, HEATING: programming (1/2)
Adjusting the programming
This function enables the electric net-
work (and the not the traction battery)
to be used under certain conditions, in
order to obtain a comfortable tempera-
ture prior to using the vehicle.
It triggers the heating in cold weather
and the air conditioning in warm
weather.
1
Operating conditions
– The ignition must be switched off;
– the battery must be charged more than 90% for the function to be trig-
gered;
– the vehicle has to be plugged into the mains;
and
– control 1 must be in position
ṗ
at A to program the air condition-
ing or at B to program the heating or
ventilation.
3
It is recommended to position con-
trol 3 in the air recirculation position
and air distribution control 2 in po-
sition:
–
i in cold weather;
–
G in high temperatures.
These settings make it possible to
reach a comfortable temperature in
the passenger compartment.

Note: depending on the power of the
charging terminal, a slight reduction in
the charge level is possible when the
function is activated.
