CHARGING THE TRACTION BATTERY

OTHER INFORMATION

Traction battery

This battery stores the energy needed
for the correct operation of the
motor of your electric vehicle, the air
conditioning and the heating. As with
all batteries, it discharges when used
and so must be recharged regularly. It
is not necessary to wait until you are
on the reserve to charge you traction
battery.

300 Volt electric system

The "300 Volt" electrical system is
identifi ed by the electrical cable,
which are orange in colour, and the
components marked with this symbol:
We draw your attention to
the following point: the fi tting
of equipment or electrical
accessories not listed for the vehicle
by the manufacturer could cause a
breakdown of your vehicle's electronic
system. We ask you to take note
of this consideration and to contact
a franchised dealers to see the
equipment and accessories listed for
the vehicle. The drive train of the electric
vehicle is powered at around
300 Volts. This system can
become in hot and remain so after
switching off. Observe the warning
messages on the labels present
in the vehicle. Any operation on or
modifi cation to the vehicle's electrical
system (components, cables,
connectors, traction battery) is strictly
prohibited because of the risk of
serious burns or electric shock leading
to death.
In the event of a problem, always
contact a franchised dealer or qualifi ed
workshop.

Driving in a fl ood

It is strongly recommended not
to drive in fl ooded areas. In all cases,
the maximum depth of water allowed
is 150 mm (lower edge of the wheel
rims) and the maximum speed is
6 mph (10 km/h). Ensure that these
recommendations are observed
otherwise serious damage to the
electrical system is possible. If it has
not been possible to follow these
recommendations, contact a franchised
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop to check
the condition of your vehicle's electrical
systems.

Do not make any modifi cation to
the drive train, this could create
the risk of malfunctions.

In the event of an accident or impact
under the vehicle or to one of the
charging fl aps
In the event of an accident or an
impact to the underbody of the vehicle
(for example: contact with a milestone,
a raised kerb or other urban roadside
fi xture) or in the event of an impact,
even slight, to one of the charging
fl aps, these circumstances may
have serious repercussions for your
vehicle's electrical system or traction
battery and cause damage to them.
Have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible by a franchised dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
Never touch the "300 Volt" components
of the orange cables exposed and
visible inside or outside of the vehicle.
In the case of serious damage to the
traction battery:


- do not try to do anything to the
vehicle yourself,

- never touch liquids coming from
the traction battery and in the event
of contact between your body and
these products, wash abundantly
with water and contact a doctor as
soon as possible.
For washing the bodywork, do
not use a pressure greater than
80 bar.


In the event of exposure to a fi re
In the event of exposure to a fi re,
leave and have everybody leave the
vehicle immediately. Never intervene
yourself (risk of electrocution). You
must contact the emergency services
immediately. Warn them that your
vehicle is electric.


Audible environment


Outside

The driver should be particularly
vigilant when driving the electric
vehicle, as it makes very little noise
when moving.

Inside

While it is operating you may hear
noises that are specifi c to an electric
vehicle, such as:


- the traction battery relays when
starting,

- the vacuum pump when braking,

- tyre or wind noise from the vehicle
when driving.
When parking on a slope, it is
recommended that you apply the
parking brake before placing the drive
selector at P
. When moving off, o
knock may be felt, which is normal.
Washing precautions
Never wash the vehicle while the
battery is on charge.
Before washing the vehicle, check
that the access fl aps are closed and
the cover on each charging socket is
closed.
In order to avoid damaging the electric
units, the use of a high pressure jet
wash is strictly forbidden:


- under the bonnet,

- under the vehicle, around the
battery packs.
Long term
When your vehicle is to be laid up
for an indeterminate period, carry out
a complete recharge of the traction
battery every three months (following
the normal charging procedure). Before
carrying out the charging operation,
ensure that the 12 V ancillaries battery
is not disconnected or discharged. If
this is the case, refer to the "Ancillaries
battery" section for information on
connecting or charging it.


Laying up the vehicle


Precautions to take when
charging the battery


- Do not stay inside or near the
vehicle.
Particularly if you wear a pacemaker
or other medial electric device.
For complete information on the
precautions to take, contact your
doctor.


- Never do any work under the
bonnet as there is a risk of serious
injury.
Risk of cuts as the fan may start
turning at any time. Risk of burns
as some areas remain very hot for
even an hour after the end of the the
charging operation.

25
ANCILLARIES BATTERY

ANCILLARIES BATTERY


All of the other electrical components
on your vehicle are powered by the
ancillaries battery.
It is located in the front compartment
under the bonnet and is charged by
the traction battery, during phases
of operation ("Ready" lamp in in the
instrument panel) and charging.
If the ancillaries battery is
discharged, the electric motor
cannot be started and charging
of the traction battery is no longer
possible.
It is recommended that the
ancillaries battery be disconnected
if the vehicle is not to be used for
more than a month. Before doing anything:


- put the vehicle in position P
,
switch off the ignition, check that
the central display screen is off,
and ensure that the vehicle is not
connected to a power point,

- open the bonnet using the interior
release lever and then the exterior
safety catch,

- secure the bonnet stay,

- remove the protective cover from
the battery for access to the two
terminals.


Access to the battery

26
Staring using an external slave
battery
Ensure that the slave battery is a
12 volt battery.

- Lift the protective cover from
the (+) terminal,
- connect one end of the red cable to
the ( +
) terminal of the discharged
vehicle battery, then the other end
to the ( +
) terminal of of the slave
battery,
- connect one end of the green or
black cable to the ( -
) terminal of the
slave battery,

- connect the other end of the green
or black cable to a ( -
) earth point on
your broken down vehicle.

Charging the battery with a
battery charger
Do not charge the battery without
fi rst disconnecting the terminals
and removing the battery from the
front compartment.
Do not disconnect the
terminals when this indicator
warning lamp is on, nor when
the vehicle itself is on charge.

Before disconnection

Switch off the ignition and wait
two minutes before disconnecting
the battery.

After reconnection

After any reconnection of the battery,
switch on the ignition and wait
1 minute before starting, so as to
allow initialisation of the electronic
systems. However, if some minor
problems remain after carrying out this
operation, contact a franchised dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop. Remember
to enter the radio pre-sets yourself,
referring to the corresponding section
in the handbook.

- Remove the battery fi xing 1
,

- lift the protective cover on
the ( -
) terminal,
- disconnect the cable from
the ( -
) post

- lift the protective cover on
the ( +
) terminal 2
,

- slacken the nut 3
,

- disconnect the cable from
the ( +
) post,

- remove the battery,

- charge the battery following the
instructions on use provided by
the manufacturer of the battery
charger,

- reconnect the battery starting with
the cable on the ( +
) post.
Ensure that the battery posts and

TOWING THE VEHICLE

Front towing eye

The rear towing eye must not be used
for towing on the road. It can be used
to extract the vehicle when stuck, for
example. The towing eye is stowed in the tool
box under the right hand seat.
Towing the vehicle with the driving
wheels on the ground is prohibited.
When towing the vehicle with just two
wheels on the ground, use professional
lifting equipment.
Failure to do this may cause damage
to the braking components and the
electric motor.


Rear towing eye

Towing another
vehicle
Your vehicle cannot in any
circumstances be used to tow another
vehicle.

MOTOR AND TRACTION BATTERY

The range of the vehicle, approved on the NEDC cycle, is 170 km (105 miles). This range can vary according to
various factors, the main ones being the use of the heating and air conditioning, the style of driving, the type of route
taken and ageing of the traction battery.
Ageing of the traction battery also depends on various factors, such as the ambient temperature, the mileage of the vehicle,
the frequency of fast charges…
