CHARGE METER
The traction battery supplies the elec-
trical energy required for the motor to
move the vehicle.
When you lift your foot off the accelera-
tor pedal, the motor generates electri-
cal current during deceleration, and this
energy is used to recharge the traction
battery.
“Energy recovery” usage
zone A
Indicates that the vehicle is generating
energy and recharging the battery.Energy recovery features
The motor generates a more significant
engine brake than a conventional vehi-
cle.
After a maximum charge for the traction
battery and during the first few miles
when driving the vehicle, the engine
brake is temporarily reduced. Please
adapt your driving style accordingly.
“Neutral” position
B
Indicates nil consumption.
“Recommended
consumption” usage zone C
Indicates “economical” energy con-
sumption

AIR CONDITIONING/HEATING: programming (1/2)
Adjusting the programming
This function enables the electric net-
work (and the not the traction battery)
to be used under certain conditions, in
order to obtain a comfortable tempera-
ture prior to using the vehicle.
It triggers the heating in cold weather
and the fan in warm weather.
1
Operating conditions
– the ignition must be switched off;
– the battery charging must be finished for the function to be triggered;
– the vehicle has to be plugged into the mains;
and
– control 1 must be position
.
2
In cold weather (< 0°C), you are rec-
ommended to position control 2 in
air recirculation position. This en-
ables greater efficiency and lower
energy consumption in the passen-
ger compartment ambient tempera-
ture.
