level is represented by bars on a gauge, and
there is a reserve power warning lamp on the
instrument panel.
The 12 V accessory battery 3 powers the vehicle’s
conventional electrical system. It is used to start
the electric motor. This battery is automatically
recharged by the traction battery.
The heat pump 4 provides passenger
compartment heating and regulates traction
battery and on-board charger cooling.
The on-board charger 5 manages traction battery
domestic and accelerated charging.
The electric motor 6 provides motive power, based
on the selected driving mode and the driving
conditions. It recovers energy during vehicle
braking and deceleration phases.

In certain extreme weather conditions
(rain and/or snow, bright sunshine, etc.),
the head-up display may not be legible or may
suffer temporary interference.
To clean the projection blade, use a clean, soft
cloth (such as a spectacles cloth or microfibre
cloth). Do not use a dry or abrasive cloth, or
detergent or solvent products, due to the risk
of scratching the projection blade or damaging
the non-reflective coating.
Warning and indicator
lamps
Displayed as symbols, the warning and indicator
lamps inform the driver of the occurrence of a
malfunction (warning lamps) or of the operating
status of a system (operation or deactivation
indicator lamps). Certain lamps light up in two
ways (fixed or flashing) and/or in several colours.
Associated warnings
The illumination of a lamp may be accompanied
by an audible signal and/or a message displayed
in a screen.
Relating the type of alert to the operating status
of the vehicle allows you to determine whether
the situation is normal or whether a fault has
occurred: refer to the description of each lamp for
further information.
When the ignition is switched on
Certain red or orange warning lamps come on for
a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.
These warning lamps should go off as soon as the
engine is started.
For more information on a system or a function,
refer to the corresponding section.
