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.

Driving
Driving recommendations
General information
► Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
►
Monitor your environment and keep your
hands on the wheel to be able to react to
anything that may happen any time.
►
Drive smoothly, anticipate the need for
braking and maintain a longer safety distance,
especially in bad weather

.
►
Stop the vehicle to carry out operations that
require close attention (such as adjustments).
Never drive with the parking brake
applied . Risk of overheating and
damaging the braking system!
Never leave a vehicle running unattended.
If the driver must leave the vehicle, the
parking brake must be applied and N mode
selected using the drive selector.
On flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could seriously damage your
vehicle's motor and electrical systems.


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.
Electric mobility
Exterior sound environment
Pay particular attention to children, pedestrians,
cyclists and motorcyclists.
As this vehicle uses a silent means of
propulsion, these people may not be aware that
a vehicle is approaching.
In order to avoid a collision with these people,
the vehicle is fitted with a pedestrian horn.
Interior sound environment
During use, you may hear certain perfectly
normal noises specific to electric vehicles, such
as:
–
Regenerative braking.
– Traction battery relay when starting.
– Vehicle tyres or aerodynamics when driving.
Parking brake
Unlocking

► Pull the parking brake lever up slightly, press
the release button, then lower the lever fully .
If this warning lamp lights up when the
vehicle is moving, this indicates that the
parking brake is still applied or has not been fully
released.
Application
► Pull the parking brake lever up to immobilise
the vehicle.

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.
Starting/Stopping the
vehicle
