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.

Eco-driving
Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices
that enable you to optimise your vehicle's
consumption of electrical energy.
Optimising driving range
How much electrical energy your vehicle
consumes depends on your speed, driving style,
vehicle load and route.
Apply pressure gradually to the accelerator pedal
and maintain safe distances between vehicles.
Anticipate the need to slow down well in advance
and, where possible, brake smoothly or slow
the vehicle using engine braking with the
regenerative braking function.
Control the use of electrical equipment
Before setting off, if the passenger compartment
is too warm, cool it down by opening the
windows in order to reduce the use of the
ventilation system.
In the event of a frost, remove the ice from all
glass surfaces using a scraper in order to reduce
the use of the heating/demister function.
Comply with the servicing instructions
Check tyre pressures regularly when the tyres
are cold, referring to the label affixed to the base
of the passenger seat.
Perform this check particularly at each change of
season and after the vehicle has been stationary
for a long period.If the tyres need to be replaced, you must fit
tyres which are identical to the original ones
(size, load/speed rating, type and structure).
Ensure the vehicle is serviced regularly and
observe the schedule of service checks indicated
in the Manufacturer's service schedule.

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.

Practical information
7Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the
brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads
are worn.
For information on checking brake disc/
drum wear, contact a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may
be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and
defrost them.
Wheels and tyres
All tyre pressures must be checked when the tyres are cold.
The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure
label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven
for more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles
(10 kilometres), add 0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the
values indicated on the label.
Under-inflation increases energy
consumption. Non-compliant tyre
pressures cause tyres to wear prematurely
and have an adverse effect on the vehicle's
road holding - risk of accident!
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the
braking and road holding performance of the
vehicle. We recommended regularly checking
the condition of tyres (tread and sidewalls) and
wheel rims as well as the presence of valves. When the wear indicators no longer appear set
back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is
less than 1.6 mm; it is essential to replace the
tyres.
Using different size wheels and tyres from those
specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel
rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer
reading and have an adverse effect on road
holding.
Shock absorbers
It is not easy for drivers to detect when
shock absorbers are worn. Nevertheless,
shock absorbers have a major impact on road
holding and braking performance.
For your safety and driving comfort, it is
important to have them regularly checked by a
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Changing to free-wheeling
In certain situations, you must allow the vehicle
to free-wheel (when being towed, on a rolling
road, transport by rail or sea, etc.).
►
Switch the ignition off.
► Release the parking brake.
Advice on care and maintenance
General information - Exterior
Do not wash the vehicle in full sunshine
or in extremely cold conditions.
Do not use a high pressure washer or
automatic carwash to clean the vehicle.
Use a water jet (temperature between +20°C
and +40°C).
Before starting to clean your vehicle,
remember to lock the windows and
doors.
Use a sponge and soapy water or a pH
neutral product.
Move the water jet perpendicular to the
surface to be cleaned, avoiding the door
seals.
Rinse the vehicle using demineralised water,
then gently wipe the bodywork with a clean
microfibre cloth.
Promptly clean off any marks containing
corrosive chemical substances liable to
damage the vehicle's paintwork (including
tree resin, bird droppings, insect secretions,
pollen and tar).
If justified by the environment, clean the
vehicle more frequently to remove salty
deposits (in coastal areas), soot (in industrial
