CARGO version

The CARGO version is an electric mobility
solution for professional use.
The passenger seat is replaced by a modular
load space bounded by:
–
a fixed vertical partition, separating the driver
and the entire load.
–
an upper movable shelf, leaving the right door
mirror visible.
The loading (e.g. mail, parcels, tools) is always
accessible from the outside as well as from the
inside by raising the upper movable shelf.
An additional closed storage compartment (e.g.
smartphone, pens, glasses) is located at the
back of the upper movable shelf.

Lighting and visibility
4Exterior lighting
When the ignition is switched on, all the lights
come on (sidelamps, dipped beam headlamps
and number plate lamps).
When the ignition is switched off, all the lights
go out.
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), misting on the
internal surface of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear
after the lamps have been on for a few
minutes.
Never look too closely at the light beam
of LED lamps/headlamps: risk of serious
eye injury!
Direction indicators



► Left or right: lower or raise the multifunction
control stalk beyond the point of resistance.
Three flashes
► Press briefly upwards or downwards (without
going beyond the point of resistance) and the
direction indicators will flash 3 times.
Wipers/Screenwash
Wipers



► Turn the knob to the desired position:Continuous wipe
Intermittent wipe
Switching off
Before operating the wipers in wintry
conditions, clear any snow, ice or frost
from the windscreen, and from around the
wiper arms and blades.
Never operate the wipers when the
windscreen is dry. Before operating the
wipers when the weather is extremely cold or
hot, check that the wiper blades are not stuck
to the windscreen.
Screenwash

► Pull the wiper control stalk towards you and
hold.
The screenwash operates as long as you hold
the multifunction control stalk, followed by a
cycle of 5 wipes when you release the stalk.
To avoid damaging the wiper blades, do not operate the screenwash if the
screenwash reservoir is empty.
Only operate the screenwash if there is no
risk of the fluid freezing on the windscreen
and hindering visibility. In winter, use "very
cold climate" rated products.
Never top up with water.
To ensure flat-bladed wipers remain effective:
–
Handle them with care.
– Clean them regularly using soapy water.
– Do not use them to hold a piece of
cardboard against the windscreen.

In the event of a breakdown
8Removing the battery

► Disconnect the negative terminal first (left-
hand side), next disconnect the positive terminal
(right-hand side): •
Unscrew and remove the screw from the
clamp.
•
Remove the clamp from the terminal.
► Make sure that any disconnected clamps
do not come into contact with the battery
terminals - Risk of short-circuit!
►
Unscrew the 2 fixing screws on the battery's
retainer brace.
►
Remove the retainer brace and then the
battery.
Refitting the battery

► Place the battery into its compartment.
► Replace the retainer brace and its 2 fixing
screws.
►
Reconnect the positive terminal first (right-
hand side), next reconnect the negative terminal
(left-hand side): •
Insert the nut horizontally into the terminal's
square housing.
•
Place the clamp on top of the terminal.
• Insert the screw into the terminal and nut
and screw tight.
Refitting rear bumper
► Bring the bumper close to the frame.
► Pass the lamp's suspended wiring loom in
front of the bumper.
►
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.
► Finally, replace the number plate lamp.
For more information on the Number plate
lamp

, refer to the corresponding section.
Starting using another
battery
If the vehicle's battery is flat, the motor can be
started using a backup battery (either external or
from another vehicle) and jump leads or using a
battery booster.
Never start the motor by connecting a
battery charger.
Never use a 24
V or higher battery booster

.
Check beforehand that the backup battery
has a nominal voltage of 12
V and a capacity
at least equal to that of the discharged
battery

.
The two vehicles must not be in contact with
each other.
Disconnect or turn off all electrical devices in
both vehicles (portable devices, radio, wipers,
lights, etc.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while the
motor is switched on.

32
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.
