Page 12 of 216

1.6
Driving
As with a car with an automatic gear-
box, you will have to get used to not
using your left foot, and not using this
foot to brake.
When driving, if you lift your foot off the
accelerator pedal or depress the brake
pedal, the motor generates electrical
current during deceleration, and this
energy is used to brake the vehicle and
recharge the traction battery. Please
refer to the information on the “Charge
meter” in Section 2.
Special feature:
After a maximum charge of the battery
and during the first few miles of using
the vehicle, the engine brake will be
temporarily reduced. Please adapt your
driving style appropriately.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE: introduction (5/5)
Bad weather, flooded roads:
Do not drive through floods
if the depth of water is
above the lower edge of
the wheel rims
Your electric vehicle is
silent, so when you get out,
place the gear selector on
P, engage the handbrake
and switch off the ignition.
RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY
The engine brake should
under no circumstances be
used as a substitute for the
brake pedal.
Noise
Electric vehicles are particularly quiet.
You will not yet necessarily be used to
it, and neither will other road users. It
is difficult for them to hear the vehicle
when it is moving.
We would therefore recommend that
you are aware of the horn and make
use of it, especially when driving in a
built-up area or when manoeuvring.
Please refer to the information on the
“Pedestrian horn” in Section 1.
As the motor is silent, you will hear
noises that you are not used to hearing
(aerodynamic noises, tyre noise, etc.)
When charging, the vehicle may emit
noises (fan, relays, etc).
When the vehicle is stopped, the heat-
ing system may start automatically for
self-maintenance.
Obstructions to the driver
On the driver’s side, only
use mats suitable for the
vehicle, attached with the
pre-fitted components, and check
the fitting regularly. Do not lay one
mat on top of another.
There is a risk of wedging the
pedals

Parking the vehicle
When the vehicle is at a standstill,
place the lever in position P: the drive
wheels are mechanically locked by the
transmission.
Apply the handbrake.
GEAR CONTROL (2/2)/HANDBRAKE
Operating fault
When setting off, if the lever is locked
in position P, even though you are de-
pressing the brake pedal and pressing
the unlocking button 2, the lever can still
be released manually. To do this, unclip
the cover 4 at the base of the lever.
Simultaneously press at the location 7
and the unlocking button 2 on the lever.
In the event of an impact to
the underside of the vehicle
(e.g.: striking a post, raised
kerb or other street furni-
ture), this may result in damage to
the vehicle (e.g.: twisted axle), the
electrical circuit or the traction bat-
tery.
Do not touch the circuit elements or
any fluids or liquids.
To prevent any risk of accident,
have your vehicle checked by an
authorised dealer.
Risk of serious injury or electric
shock and risk to life.
Handbrake
To release:
Pull the lever 6 up slightly, press
button 5 and then lower the lever to the

TYRE PRESSURE KIT (2/3)
Depending on the vehicle, in the event
of a puncture, use the kit located in the
boot or underneath the luggage com-
partment carpet.
Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure
loss warning system
If under-inflated (puncture, low pres-
sure, etc.), the warning light

lights up on the instrument panel. See
“Tyre pressure loss warning” in Section
2.
With the engine running and the
parking brake applied,
– unroll the hose from the container;
– connect the compressor hose 3 to
the container’s inlet 8;
– depending on the vehicle, connect the container 8 to the compressor
from the container recess 7;
– unscrew the valve cap on the rele- vant wheel and screw on the con-
tainer’s inflation adapter 1;
– disconnect any accessories previ- ously connected to the vehicle’s ac-
cessories sockets;
– adapter 2 must be connected to the
vehicle accessories socket;

Before using this kit, park
the vehicle at a sufficient
distance from traffic, switch
on the hazard warning
lights, apply the handbrake, ask all
passengers to leave the vehicle and
keep them away from traffic.

If the vehicle is parked on
the hard shoulder, you must
warn other road users of
your vehicle’s presence
with a warning triangle or with other
devices as per the legislation apply-
ing to the country you are in.
– press switch 4 to inflate the tyre to
the recommended pressure (please
refer to the information in the section
on “Tyre pressure”);
– after a maximum of 15 minutes, stop inflating and read the pressure (on
pressure gauge 5).
Note: while the container is empty-
ing (approximately 30 seconds), the
pressure gauge 5 will briefly indicate
a pressure of up to 6 bar. The pres-
sure will then drop.
– adjust the pressure: to increase it, continue inflation with the kit; to
reduce it, press button 6.
