Practical information
7Charging the traction
battery (Electric)
To charge, connect the vehicle to a domestic
charging unit or a fast public charger (superfast
charging).
For a full charge, follow the desired charging
procedure without interrupting it, until it ends
automatically.
To stop charging at any time, press the locking
button on the remote control for 5 seconds
and remove the charging nozzle. For superfast
charging, also refer to the fast public charger.
The display of information linked to the charging
is integrated into the rear view mirror. For more
information on the Display integrated into the
rear view mirror , refer to the corresponding
section.
As a safety measure, the engine will not start if the charging cable is plugged into
the vehicle's charging connector.
Cooling the traction battery
The cooling fan in the engine
compartment comes on during charging to
cool the on-board charger and the traction
battery.
Balancing the traction battery voltage
After carrying out a full charge (100%)
at least once per week, we recommend not
using the vehicle for about 4 hours.
This time allows the voltage to balance across
all of the traction battery's cells (ensuring a
level voltage across all of its cells).
This process helps keep the traction battery in
good condition and aids in the calculation of
its charging level.
Completely discharged traction
battery
T
o preserve the lifespan of the traction battery
and avoid damaging it, make sure that it is
never completely discharged (0%).
When the charge level drops to 15%, the
message "LOW POWER MODE" appears
on the display integrated into the rear view
mirror. If this message appears while driving,
avoid heavy acceleration and charge the
vehicle as soon as possible.
Long-term parking
Before parking the vehicle for an
extended period, carry out a full charge of the
traction battery.
Park the vehicle in a place where the
temperature will be between 0°C and 45°C
(parking in a place which will experience
extreme temperatures can damage the
traction battery).
Disconnect the cable from the (-) terminal of
the 12
V accessory battery.
Check the level of charge in the traction
battery periodically and charge it if necessary.
When parking the vehicle for more than one
month, keep the level of charge above 50%.
When parking the vehicle for a very long
period, charge the vehicle every 2 months.
Do not leave the charging cable connected.
Lack of use of the traction battery temporarily
affects its performance. At the end of the
parking period, carry out several charge/
discharge cycles to restore the normal
operation of the traction battery.
Precautions
Our electric vehicles have been developed in
accordance with the recommendations on the
maximum limits for electromagnetic fields, as
issued by the International Commission on Non-
Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP - 1998
Guidelines).
Wearers of pacemakers or equivalent
devices
Ask your doctor about what precautions you should take, or ask the manufacturer
of your implanted electro-medical device about
whether its operation is guaranteed in an
environment which complies with the ICNIRP
recommendations.
If in doubt
Accelerated charging: do not remain
inside or near the vehicle, or near the
charging cable or charging unit, even for a
short time.
