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.

In the event of a breakdown

► Connect the red cable to the (+) terminal of
the flat battery A , then to the (+) terminal of the
backup battery B, or booster.
►
Connect one end of the green or black cable
to the (-) terminal of the backup battery B

or of
the booster (or to an earth point on the assisting
vehicle).
►
Connect the other end of the green or black
cable to the negative (-) terminal of flat battery A.
►
Start the engine/switch on the motor on the
assisting vehicle and leave it running for a few
minutes.
►
Turn the ignition key to start the disabled
vehicle.
The traction battery takes over the supply to the
12
V circuit.
► Wait for the assisting vehicle to return to idle.
► Disconnect the jump leads in reverse
order.
► Leave the vehicle switched on for at least 30
minutes to allow the traction battery to recharge
the 12
V battery

.
If the battery charge level in the traction battery
is too low, connect the vehicle's charging cable.
Charging the battery using a
battery charger
For optimum service life of the battery, it is
essential to maintain an adequate level of
charge.
In some circumstances, it may be necessary to
charge the battery:
–
When using the vehicle mainly for short
journeys.
–
If the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
several weeks.
To recharge the vehicle's battery yourself:
–
Only use a charger compatible with lead-
acid batteries and with a nominal voltage of
12
V

.
–
Follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the charger.
–
Never reverse polarities.
– Disconnect the 12 V battery

.
Make sure the vehicle's charging cable is not
connected at the same time.


► Switch the ignition off.
► Disconnect or turn off all electrical devices
(portable devices, wipers, lights, etc.).
►
Switch off charger B before connecting
the cables to the battery

, so as to avoid any
dangerous sparks.
►
Ensure that the charger cables are in good
condition.
►
Connect the cables from charger B as
follows: •
Positive (+) red cable to the (+) terminal on
battery A

.
•
Negative (-) black cable to the (-) terminal on
battery A

.
►
At the end of the charging operation, switch
off charger B before disconnecting the cables
from battery

A.
