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.

Access
2Doors

The vehicle has two doors which open in
opposite directions.
Do not open the door when moving.
From outside

► Turn the access key to the right/left in the
door lock to unlock/lock it.

After unlocking a door, do not turn the key to the left as you risk being trapped
in the vehicle when the door is closed again.
From inside

► To open the driver's door, pull strap 1 at the
end of the dashboard.
►
To open the passenger door

, pull strap 2 to
the right of the passenger seat.

– A fixed upper section.
– A moveable lower section.

To open:
► Press the locking handle to release the
window.
►
Lift the window until it stops to keep it fully
open.
Take care when opening the window - there is a risk of it unlocking and
lowering while driving, if it is not properly
locked in the stopped position or on a very
uneven road surface.
To close:

Safety
Installation
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
–
be tightened as close to the body as
possible.
–
be pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it is not twisted.
–
must only be used to secure one person.
– must not show signs of tearing or fraying.
– must not be changed or modified, in order
to avoid affecting its performance.
Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger
is less than 12 years old or shorter than one
and a half metres.
Make sure that the seat belt is correctly
positioned and tightened.
Never use the same seat belt to secure more
than one child.
Never carry a child on your lap.
For more information on Child seats, refer to
the corresponding section.
Maintenance
Have the seat belts checked regularly by
a dealer or qualified workshop, particularly if
the straps show signs of damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or
a textile cleaning product, sold by dealers or
qualified workshops.
Child seats
The regulations on carrying children are specific to each country. Refer to the
legislation in force in your country.
For maximum safety, please observe the
following recommendations:
–
In accordance with European regulations,
all children under the age of 12 or less than
1.5 metres tall must travel in approved child
seats appropriate for their weight , on seats
fitted with a seat belt.
–
Children weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the "rearward facing" position .
Advice
An incorrectly installed child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's safety in
the event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle under the child seat, as this could
destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harness keeping the slack relative
to the child's body to a minimum, even for
short journeys.
Check that the seat belt is properly tightened
over the child seat and that it holds the child
seat firmly against the vehicle seat.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure that
the support leg is in firm and steady contact
with the floor.
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
Use a booster seat with a backrest, equipped
with a belt guide at shoulder level.
As a safety measure, do not leave: – A child alone and unsupervised inside
the vehicle.
–
A child or an animal in a vehicle exposed to
the sun with the windows closed.
–
The keys inside the 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).

► 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.
