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.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Apply the parking brake and switch off the
ignition.
Call a dealer or qualified workshop as soon
as possible.
In the event of exposure to a fire
Immediately exit and evacuate all
passengers from the vehicle. Never attempt
to fight the fire yourself - risk of explosion!
You must immediately contact the emergency
services, informing them that the incident
involves an electric vehicle.

Lighting and visibility
4Exterior lighting
When the ignition is switched on, all the lights
come on (sidelamps, dipped beam headlamps
and number plate lamps).
When the ignition is switched off, all the lights
go out.
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), misting on the
internal surface of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear
after the lamps have been on for a few
minutes.
Never look too closely at the light beam
of LED lamps/headlamps: risk of serious
eye injury!

If you are obliged to drive on a flooded road:
► Check that the depth of water does not
exceed 10 cm, taking account of waves that
might be generated by other users.
►
Drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In
all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10 km/h).
► Do not stop and do not switch off the motor.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety
conditions allow

, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in any doubt about the condition of your
vehicle, consult a dealer or qualified workshop.
