Eco-driving
Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices
that enable you to optimise your vehicle's
consumption of electrical energy.
Optimising driving range
How much electrical energy your vehicle
consumes depends on your speed, driving style,
vehicle load and route.
Apply pressure gradually to the accelerator pedal
and maintain safe distances between vehicles.
Anticipate the need to slow down well in advance
and, where possible, brake smoothly or slow
the vehicle using engine braking with the
regenerative braking function.
Control the use of electrical equipment
Before setting off, if the passenger compartment
is too warm, cool it down by opening the
windows in order to reduce the use of the
ventilation system.
In the event of a frost, remove the ice from all
glass surfaces using a scraper in order to reduce
the use of the heating/demister function.
Comply with the servicing instructions
Check tyre pressures regularly when the tyres
are cold, referring to the label affixed to the base
of the passenger seat.
Perform this check particularly at each change of
season and after the vehicle has been stationary
for a long period.If the tyres need to be replaced, you must fit
tyres which are identical to the original ones
(size, load/speed rating, type and structure).
Ensure the vehicle is serviced regularly and
observe the schedule of service checks indicated
in the Manufacturer's service schedule.

progresses.
When the charge is completed, the instrument
panel switches off.
Disconnection
► Disconnect the charging cable from the
power socket.
►
Open the passenger door.
► Store all of the charging cable inside its
housing.
►
Close the passenger door.

6. Brake fluid reservoir
Checking levels
Check all of the following levels regularly in
accordance with the Manufacturer's service
schedule. Top them up if required, unless
otherwise indicated.
If a particular level has dropped significantly,
have the corresponding circuit checked by a
dealer or qualified workshop.
Fluids must comply with the
Manufacturer's recommendations.
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used fluids
with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Do not discard used fluids into sewers
or onto the ground.
Drain used fluids into the dedicated
containers provided by dealers or qualified
workshops.
Brake fluid
Before doing any work
Switch off the ignition, apply the parking
brake, check that the instrument panel is off
and that the charging cable is not connected.
To find out how often the brake fluid should be
replaced, refer to the Manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
Removing front bumper

► Remove the 2 lower fixing screws from the
frame.
►
Remove the 2 upper access flaps from the
wings, pass an arm under the wing and lift it up.
►
Remove the 2 upper side fixing screws from
the flaps.
►
Remove the 2 lower side fixing screws from
the wheel arches.
►
Pull the bumper horizontally for about ten
centimetres until the attachment points come
away.
►
Disconnect the indicator wiring looms.
Before topping up, it is necessary to
protect the motor and its connectors in

24
Practical information
order to avoid any risk of brake fluid splashing
onto them.
Topping up
Use only DOT4 brake fluid from a sealed
container.
►
Clean the cap before removing it to refill.The level of this fluid should be close to the "MAX" mark. If not, check the brake
pads for wear.
Refitting front bumper
► Bring the bumper close to the frame.
► Connect the indicator wiring looms.
► Place it in position and then push the bumper
horizontally until the attachment points clip into
place.
►
Screw the 2 upper side fixing screws into the
flaps.
►
Screw the 2 lower side fixing screws into the
wheel arches.
►
Screw the 2 lower fixing screws into the
frame.
►
Clip the 2 upper access flaps to the wings.
Screenwash fluid
Access/Topping up
The fluid must be topped up with a pre-mixed
product.
In winter (temperatures below 0°C), a fluid
containing an anti-freeze agent which is
appropriate for the temperature conditions
must be used in order to protect the system's
components (pump, tank, ducts, jets).
Filling with pure water is prohibited in all
circumstances (risk of freezing,
limescale, etc.).
► Top up to the required level when
necessary .
Tank capacity: 1 litre.


► Turn both fixing screws a quarter turn.
► Unclip the access cover.
► Remove the cap from the tank to top up.
Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the
Manufacturer's service schedule.
Otherwise, have them checked by a dealer or
qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by the
Manufacturer or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in the
braking system, the Manufacturer selects and
offers very specific products.
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.
Check regularly that the terminals are correctly
tightened and that the connections are clean.
For more information on the precautions
to take before any work on the 12 V
battery
, refer to the corresponding section.
Manual parking brake
If you notice excessive brake lever travel
or decreased effectiveness, the parking
brake must be adjusted, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a dealer or
qualified workshop.
Brake pads/Discs/Drums
Brake wear depends on the style of
driving, particularly in the case of vehicles
used in town, over short distances. It may be
necessary to have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle services.
