Overview
Safety precautions -
Electric vehicles
An electric vehicle has two types of electrical
circuit:
–
vehicle traction provided by a 48 V battery
module.
–
power supply for the on-board circuit
(instrument panel, lights, ventilation/heating,
USB socket, etc.), provided by a 12
V battery

.
Precautions relating to the 48 V electrical
circuit
The components and cables which make
up the traction electrical circuit are
marked with this symbol.
The electric vehicle's charging system may become hot during use and after the
ignition is switched off.
All work on or modifications to the vehicle’s
electrical system (traction battery, cables and
other components visible from the interior or
exterior) is strictly prohibited - risk of severe
burns or electric shock (short-circuit)!
If required, call a dealer or qualified
workshop.
Precautions relating to the electrical
installation
Before any connection is made, check
that the electrical installation to be used
complies with applicable standards and is
compatible with the vehicle.
In case of doubt, contact a professional
installer.
Precautions related to vehicle cleaning
Before cleaning the vehicle, check that
the windows and doors are properly
closed.
Do not wash the vehicle while the traction
battery is being charged.
Precautions in the event of a breakdown
In the event of a complete loss of power, the
vehicle is no longer driven by the electric motor.
Quickly move the vehicle to a safe place in
accordance with all roadside safety regulations.
Immobilise the vehicle, activate the hazard
warning lamps, put on the high visibility safety
vest, leave the vehicle and find a safe place.
Call a dealer or qualified workshop as soon as
possible.
Precautions related to road accidents
In the event of an accident or impact
to the vehicle's underbody
In situations like these, the electrical circuit or
traction battery may be seriously damaged.

screenwash reservoir is empty.
Only operate the screenwash if there is no
risk of the fluid freezing on the windscreen
and hindering visibility. In winter, use "very
cold climate" rated products.
Never top up with water.
To ensure flat-bladed wipers remain effective:
–
Handle them with care.
– Clean them regularly using soapy water.
– Do not use them to hold a piece of
cardboard against the windscreen.

Safety
5Safety - General
recommendations
Do not remove the labels attached in
different places on your vehicle. They
include safety warnings as well as
identification information for the vehicle.
For any work on your vehicle, use a
qualified workshop that has the technical
information, skills and equipment required, all
of which a dealer or qualified workshop is
able to provide.
Depending on national regulations,
certain safety equipment may be
mandatory: high visibility safety vests,
warning triangles, breathalysers, spare bulbs,
spare fuses, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, etc.
Installing equipment and accessories
Fitting electrical equipment or
accessories not approved by the
Manufacturer may cause excessive power
consumption and faults in your vehicle's
electrical system. Contact a dealer or
qualified workshop for information on the
range of approved accessories.
Any modification or adaptation not intended or
authorised by the Manufacturer or carried out
without meeting the technical requirements
defined by the Manufacturer will result in the
suspension of the commercial warranty.
Hazard warning lamps



► Pressing this button causes all the direction
indicators to flash.
They can operate with the ignition off.
Horn



► Press the button located on the end of the
multifunction control stalk.
Seat belts
The seat belts are equipped with an inertia reel
which allows the strap length to automatically
adjust to your shape. The seat belt returns to its
storage automatically when it is not used.
The inertia reels are fitted with a device which
automatically locks the strap in the event of a
collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls
over. It can be released by pulling the strap firmly
and then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.
Fastening
► Pull the strap, then insert the tongue into the
buckle.
►
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling on the strap.
Unlocking
► Press the red button on the buckle.
► Guide the seat belt as it is reeled in.
Advice
The driver must ensure that the passenger uses the seat belt correctly
and that it is securely fastened before setting
off.
The driver or passenger must always fasten
their seatbelt even for short journeys.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt
is reeled in correctly.

Driving
6When parking on a slope, turn the
wheels against the kerb and/or place a
chock behind one of the wheels, apply the
parking brake and switch off the ignition.
Drive selector

The drive selector has 3 buttons:
D. Forward (Drive)
N. Neutral
R. Reverse (Rear)
When the ignition is switched on, the instrument
panel lights up.
When the motor is switched on, N mode is
displayed on the instrument panel, along with the
READY warning lamp.
►
To move to

D or R mode, depress the brake
pedal and then press the desired button.
By default, this lamp flashes.
Do not depress the accelerator pedal
when switching to D or R mode.
Engine braking and energy recovery
The vehicle is fitted with an energy
recovery system which operates during
deceleration: regenerative braking.
This system of engine braking consists of
recovering part of the energy generated
during deceleration and feeding it back to
the traction battery in order to improve the
vehicle's driving range.
When the traction battery is fully charged
and during the first few miles/kilometres of
a journey, the regenerative braking does not
operate.
Adapt your driving style and use the brake
pedal.
Engine braking and brake pedal
The engine braking can never replace
the brake pedal.
When driving downhill, it is essential not to
exceed the maximum speed of the vehicle
and to voluntarily limit its speed by using the
brake pedal.
In order to protect the drive chain, a
slight decrease in performance may be
observed at low temperatures or during
prolonged use of maximum power.
