Driving safely



"GRIP CONTROL"

The accelerator pedal must be pressed
enough for there to be adequate
engine power to manage the various
parameters in the best way. On snow, mud and sand, traction
control is obtained by a compromise
between safety, grip and traction,
which is associated with the Michelin
®
Latitude Tour HP M+S tyres.
It adapts to allows most conditions of
poor grip to be accommodated.












Correct use
Your vehicle is designed principally to
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you
to drive on other less passable terrain
occasionally.
However, particularly when your
vehicle is heavily laden, it does not
permit off-road activities such as:


- crossing and driving on ground
which could damage the underbody
or tear off components (fuel pipe,
fuel cooler, ...), particularly by
obstacles or stones,

- driving on ground with steep
gradients and poor grip,

- crossing a stream.

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS

Traction battery - State of charge indicator

The state of charge of the traction
battery is displayed continuously when
the vehicle is switched on.
Low energy alerts
Two successive energy level alerts
indicate that the energy available has
dropped to a low level:
With the motor stopped, ignition
off, opening the driver's door
wakes the indicator.
1st level: Reserve

This warning lamp comes
on when the state of charge
of the traction battery is low.
Illumination of this warning
lamp is accompanied by an
audible signal.
2nd level: Critical


This warning lamp, associated
with the reserve warning lamp,
comes on in the instrument
panel when the state of charge
of the traction battery is critical.
Illumination of this warning
lamp is accompanied by a
regular audible warning.
Check the remaining range
indicated in the instrument panel
screen.
Put the vehicle on charge as soon as
possible. Put the vehicle on charge.
The remaining range is no longer
calculated. The power of the drive
train is progressively reduced.
The heating and air conditioning are
stopped (even if the needle indicating
their consumption is not in the ECO

position). From this state of charge of the
battery, the level of heating or
air conditioning is progressively
reduced.
For more information, refer to
pages 8, 13-14.

State

Cause

Actions / Observations


Ready
On,
accompanied
by an audible
signal when it
comes on. The vehicle is ready to drive. The lamp is on while the vehicle is
powered up.
You can press the accelerator and
use the air conditioning or heating.

Reserve
On,
accompanied
by an audible
signal. The state of charge of the
traction battery is low. Check the range remaining.
Put the vehicle on charge as soon
as possible.

Protection of the
traction battery
On,
accompanied
by a regular
audible signal. The state of charge of the
traction battery is critical. When the state of charge of the
battery is low, reduction of motor
power is progressive progressive.
You must put the vehicle on
charge.
On. Maximum motor power is not
available. If the warning lamp does not go
off, contact a dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

Traction
battery
charge
On. The traction battery is on
charge. The lamp goes out once charging
is complete
Flashing. The vehicle cannot be started
as the charging cable is still
connected to the vehicle's
socket. Check the charging cable
connection.
Disconnect the charging cable.

Auto-diagnosis
of the main
electrical system
On. Fault detected in the main
electric system. Have it checked by a dealer or
qualifi ed workshop as soon as
possible.

Incident in the
drive train
On.

You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Have it checked by a dealer or qualifi ed
workshop as soon as possible.

ECO-COMFORT
ECO-COMFORT


Control the use of electrical
equipment
The heating and air conditioning
operate using energy supplied by
the traction battery. Excessive use
signifi cantly reduces the range of your
vehicle. Try to optimise their use as
soon as you reached the desired level
of comfort and check the settings at
every start in order to maximise range.
Also limit the use of demisting and
defrosting and of the heated seat.
Stop the heating or air
conditioning and maintain
ventilation.
Stop the heating or air
conditioning and ventilation.

Pressing the ECO
button stops
the heating and air conditioning
(but maintains ventilation). The
needle of the energy consumption and
generation indicator is placed in the
ECO
zone.
Operating the temperature
control activates the heating
or air conditioning and stops
ECO
mode.

CHARGING THE TRACTION BATTERY

Do not touch the metal end of
the normal charging socket, nor
of the charging cable. Risk of
electrocution and/or malfunctions.


Use the cord supplied to hook the
control unit, so that it does not
weigh down on the power point
(risk of damage to the charging cable
or power point).

Never connect or disconnect the
the cable or charging plug with
wet hands
(risk of electrocution).

The charge may be interrupted
at any time by withdrawing the
charging plug.

If exceptionally you have
to interrupt the charge by
disconnecting the charging cable
from the power point, it is essential to
fi rst press the Manual Stop
button on
the controller.
It has four indicator lamps:


- STOP
: on red.
It indicates that charging has
been interrupted by pressing
the Manual Stop
button. This
action is recommended before
disconnecting the charging cable
from the domestic power point
during a charging operation.

- POWER
: on green.
It indicates that the power supply
is established. If it does not come
on check that all connections are
correct. if the problem persists,
contact a franchised dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.

- CHARGING
: on green.
It indicates that charging is in
progress. If it does not come on
check that all connections are
correct. if the problem persists,
contact a franchised dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.

- FAULT
: on red.
It indicates the presence of a fault.
Check that the connections are
corrects. If this lamp does not go
off, contact a franchised dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.


Control unit

This type of control unit is equipped
with a power supply recognition system
(depending on the country). It detects
the current rating of your domestic
power supply and is able to support
and choose the most suitable rating for
a secure recharge:


- 14 A
(FAST): if your electrical
installation supports it.

- 8 A
(NORMAL): for a standard
electrical installation.

- Stop the charging procedure immediately and contact a franchised dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
If the lamp on the control unit does not come on when connecting the
charging cable to a power point, check the circuit breaker for the power point:


●
if the circuit breaker has opened, your installation may not be compatible
with use of the charging cable:


- contact a qualifi
ed electrician to check and repair your electrical installation.

●
if the circuit breaker has not opened:


- do not use the charging cable and contact a franchised dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
