handbrake RENAULT KANGOO VAN ZERO EMISSION 2012 X61 / 2.G Owners Manual

1.6
The engine brake should
under no circumstances be
used as a substitute for the
brake pedal.
NoiseElectric vehicles are particularly quiet.
You will not yet necessarily be used to
it, and neither will other road users. It
is difficult for them to hear the vehicle
when it is moving.
We would therefore recommend that
you are aware of the horn and make
use of it, especially when driving in a
built-up area or when manoeuvring.
Please refer to the information on the
“Horn” in Section 1.
As the motor is silent, you will hear
noises that you are not used to hearing
(aerodynamic noises, tyre noise, etc.)
When charging, the vehicle may emit
noises (fan, relays, etc).
Your electric vehicle is
silent, so when you get out,
always check that the gear
selector is on P, engage the
handbrake and switch off the igni-
tion.
RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY
ELECTRIC VEHICLE: introduction (5/5)
Driving
As with a car with an automatic gear-
box, you will have to get used to not
using your left foot, and not using this
foot to brake.
When driving, if you lift your foot off the
accelerator pedal or depress the brake
pedal, the motor generates electrical
current during deceleration, and this
energy is used to brake the vehicle and
recharge the traction battery. Please
refer to the information on the “Charge
meter” in Section 2.
Special conditions
After a maximum charge of the battery
and during the first few miles of using
the vehicle, the engine brake will be
temporarily reduced. Please adapt your
driving style appropriately. Bad weather, flooded roads:Do not drive through
floods if the depth of water
is above the lower edge of
the wheel rims.
Obstructions to the driver
On the driver’s side, only
use mats suitable for the
vehicle, attached with the
pre-fitted components, and check
the fitting regularly. Do not lay one
mat on top of another.
There is a risk of wedging the
pedals

GEAR CONTROL (1/2)
Operates similar to an automatic gear-
box.
Selector lever 1
The display A on instrument panel indi-
cates the gear lever position as 3.
P : Park
R : Reverse
N : Neutral
D : Forward
Operation
Keeping your foot on the brake pedal
and with the selector lever 1 in position
P, turn the ignition.
Start the motor.
To move out of position P, you must de-
press the brake pedal before pressing
unlocking button 2.
With your foot on the brake pedal
(warning light
c in display A goes
out), move the lever out of position P.
Only engage D or R when the vehi-
cle is stopped, with your foot on the
brake and the accelerator pedal re-
leased.
1
Driving
Put lever 1 in position D.
Hill start
For hill starts, especially after a maxi-
mum traction battery charge and for the
first few miles, we recommend using
the handbrake.
While driving, press the accelerator
pedal to achieve the desired speed.
Reverse
Put lever 1 in position R.
The reversing lights will come on as
soon as reverse gear is selected (with
the ignition on).

The vehicle can only start if the gear
selector is in position P.
The vehicle can only be started if
the charging cord is unplugged from
the vehicle.

2.4
Handbrake
To release:
Pull the lever 5 up slightly, press
button 6 and then lower the lever to the
floor.
To apply:
Pull upwards, check that the vehicle is
properly immobilised.
GEAR CONTROL (2/2)/HANDBRAKE
Parking the vehicle
When the vehicle is stopped, move the
lever to position P while keeping your
foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is
in neutral and the drive wheels are me-
chanically locked by the driveshaft.
Apply the handbrake.
In the event an impact to
the underside of the vehicle
(e.g.: striking a post, raised
kerb or other street furni-
ture), this may result in damage to
the vehicle (e.g.: twisted axle), the
electrical circuit or the traction bat-
tery.
Do not touch the circuit elements or
any fluids or liquids.
To prevent any risk of accident,
have your vehicle checked by an
authorised dealer.
Risk of serious injury or electric
shock and risk to life.
When setting off , if the lever is locked
in position P even though you are
pressing the brake pedal, the lever
can be released manually. To do this,
unclip the base of the lever and simulta-
neously press at location 4 and the un-
locking button 6 on the lever.
When stationary and de-
pending on the slope and/or
vehicle load, it may be nec-
essary to pull up the hand-
brake at least two extra notches and
engage position P.
Make sure that the hand-
brake is properly released
when driving (red indicator
light off), otherwise over-
heating, or even damage, may
occur.

TYRE INFLATION KIT (2/3)
Depending on the vehicle, in the event
of a puncture, please use the kit located
in the glovebox.
Before using this kit, park
the vehicle at a sufficient
distance from traffic, switch
on the hazard warning
lights, apply the handbrake, ask all
passengers to leave the vehicle and
keep them away from traffic.
If the vehicle is parked on
the hard shoulder, you must
warn other road users of
your vehicle’s presence
with a warning triangle or with other
devices as per the legislation apply-
ing to the country you are in.
With the engine running and the
parking brake applied,
– unroll the hose from the container;
– connect the compressor hose 3 to
the container’s inlet 8;
– depending on the vehicle, connect the container 8 to the compressor
from the container recess 7;
– unscrew the valve cap on the rel- evant wheel and screw on the con-
tainer’s inflation adapter 1;
– adapter 2 must be connected to the
vehicle accessories socket;
– press switch 4 to inflate the tyre to
the recommended pressure (please
refer to the information in the section
on “Tyre pressure”);
45
18
– after a maximum of 15 minutes, stop inflating and read the pressure (on
pressure gauge 5).
Note: while the container is empty-
ing (approximately 30 seconds), the
pressure gauge 5 will briefly indicate
a pressure of up to 6 bar. The pres-
sure will then drop.
– adjust the pressure: to increase it, continue inflation with the kit; to
reduce it, press button 6.
If a minimum pressure of 1.8 bar is
not reached after 15 minutes, repair
is not possible; do not drive the ve-
hicle but contact an approved dealer.

If necessary, remove the wheel trim.
Use the wheelbrace 2 to slacken off the
wheel bolts. Position it so as to be able
to push from above.
Start extending jack 4 by hand, turning
the handle.
You must put the jack head on the jack-
ing point 1 nearest the affected wheel
and, depending on the vehicle, the
place marked with a triangle.
Switch on the hazard warn-
ing lights.
Keep the vehicle away from
traffic and on a level surface
where it will not slip.
Apply the handbrake and engage
position P.
Ask all the passengers to leave the
vehicle and keep them away from
traffic.
CHANGING A WHEEL (1/2)
Continue tightening to position the
baseplate on the ground correctly. Turn
handle 3 on the jack to lift the wheel off
the ground.
To prevent any risk of injury
or damage to the vehi-
cle, raise the jack until the
wheel you are replacing is
a maximum of 3 centimetres off the
ground.
If the vehicle is parked on
the hard shoulder, you must
warn other road users of
your vehicle’s presence
with a warning triangle or with other
devices as per the legislation apply-
ing to the country you are in.
