Instruments01
With the ignition off, opening the driver's
door activates the indicator, which moves
to the "neutral" position.
Charge level indicator (Electric)

The traction battery charge status and remaining
range are displayed continuously when the
vehicle is started.
With the ignition off, opening the driver's
door activates the indicator.
Associated warning lamps
Two successive alert levels indicate that the
energy available has dropped to a low level:
1st level: Reserve
The state of charge of the traction battery
is low.
Fixed, accompanied by an audible signal.
►  View the remaining range on the instrument
panel.
►  Put the vehicle on charge as soon as possible.
2nd level: Critical
The state of charge of the traction battery
is critical.
Fixed, together with the reserve warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal.
►  You must put the vehicle on charge.
The remaining range is no longer
calculated. The drive train power
gradually decreases.
The heating and air conditioning are switched
off (even if the cursor indicating their
consumption is not at the ECO position).
Thermal comfort consumption
indicator (Electric)


The gauge shows the consumption of electric
power for thermal comfort functions.
It concerns the following equipment and systems:
– Heating.
–

Air c
onditioning.
–

F
ront demisting/defrosting.
–

R
ear screen demisting/defrosting.
–

Hea
ted seats.
The traction battery powers the heating and air
conditioning systems.
This equipment and these functions can be used:
–

If the v
ehicle is not plugged in, when the READY
lamp is lit.
–

If the v
ehicle is plugged in, when the ignition is
switched on.
Selecting Eco mode limits the performance of
some equipment. The cursor on the thermal
comfort consumption indicator then moves into
the "ECO" zone.
To quickly heat or cool the passenger
compartment, feel free to temporarily
select the maximum heating or cooling setting.
Excessive use of thermal comfort equipment,
particularly at low speed, can significantly
decrease the vehicle's range.
Remember to optimise equipment settings
upon achieving the desired level of comfort,
and adjust them if necessary whenever you
start the vehicle.
After an extended period without using the
heating, you may notice a slight odour during
the first few minutes of use.

induction principle, in accordance with the Qi 1.1
standard.
The portable device to be charged must be
compatible with the Qi standard, either by design
or by using a compatible holder or shell.
The charging area is identified by the Qi symbol.
The charger works with the engine running and
with the Stop & Start system in STOP mode.
Charging is managed by the smartphone.
With the Keyless Entry and Starting system, the
charger’s operation may be briefly disrupted when
a door is opened or the ignition is switched off.
Charging
►  With the charging area clear, place a device in
its centre.


When the portable device is detected, the
charger’s indicator lamp lights up green. It
remains lit for the whole time that the battery is
being charged.
The system is not designed to charge
multiple devices simultaneously.


Do not leave any metal objects (coins,
keys, vehicle remote control, etc.) in the
charging area while a device is being charged,
due to the risk of overheating or interrupting
the charging process.
Operating check
The state of the indicator lamp allows the
operation of the charger to be monitored.
