or electric shock which may present a risk to life.
In the event of an accident or impact
In the event of an accident or an impact to the underside of the vehicle\
(e.g.: striking a post, raised kerb or other street fu rni-
ture), this may damage the electric circuit or the traction battery.

xposed and visible inside or outside the vehicle.
In the event of serious damage to the traction battery, leaks may occur:
– never touch the liquids (fluids, etc.) coming from the traction batter\
y;
– in the event of contact with the body, wash the affected area with plenty of water and consult a doctor as soon as possibl\
e.
In the event of an impact, even slight, against the charging flap and/or\
valve, have them checked by an authorised dealer as
soon as possible.
In the event of fire
In the event of fire, make everyone evacuate the vehicle immediately and\
contact the emergency services, informing them that
this is an electric vehicle.
Only use extinguishing agents ABC or BC that are permitted for use with electrical fires. Do not use w\

In the event of damage to the electrical circuit, please call an authori\
sed dealer.
All towing operations
Please refer to the information on “Towing, breakdowns” in Section 5.
Washing the vehicle
Never wash the engine compartment, the charging connection or the tracti\

ENVIRONMENT
Please make your own
contribution towards
protecting the environment
too
– Worn parts replaced in the course of routine vehicle maintenance (sec-
ondary 12 V battery, batteries, etc.)
must be disposed of through special-
ist organisations.
– At the end of the vehicle’s service life, it should be sent to approved
centres to ensure that it is recycled.
– In all cases, comply with local legis- lation.
Recycling
Your vehicle is 85% recyclable and
95% recoverable.
To achieve these objectives, many of
the vehicle components have been de-
signed to enable them to be recycled.
The materials and structures have
been carefully designed to allow these
components to be easily removed and
reprocessed by specialist companies.
In order to preserve raw material re-
sources, this vehicle incorporates nu-
merous parts made from recycled plas-
tics or renewable materials (vegetable
or animal-derived materials such as
cotton or wool).
Your vehicle has been designed with
respect for the environment in mind for
its entire service life: during production,
use and at the end of its life.
This commitment is illustrated by the
Renault eco² group signature.
Manufacture
Your vehicle has been manufactured at
an industrial site which uses a progress
policy to reduce environmental impacts
on rivers and natural areas (reduc-
tion of water and energy consumption,
visual and noise pollution, atmospheric
emissions and waste water, sorting and
reusing waste).
