ELECTRIC VEHICLE: introduction (4/5)
The A symbol identifies the electrical
elements in your vehicle which may
present health risks.
A
400 volt electrical circuit
The 400V electrical circuit can be rec-
ognised by the orange 4 cables and by
the elements signalled using the
ṑ
symbol.
4
The vehicle drive system in
an electric vehicle uses an
alternating voltage of ap-
proximately 400 volts. This
system can get hot during and after
switching off the ignition. Respect
warning messages given on the
labels in the vehicle.
All interventions or modifications to
the 400V electrical system (com-
ponents, cables, connectors, trac-
tion battery) are strictly prohibited
due to the risks they present to your
safety. Please contact an authorised
dealer.
The risk of serious burns or elec-
tric shocks can lead to death.

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

ELECTRIC VEHICLE: charging (5/7)
Charging connection 2
The vehicle has a charging connection
located at the front of the vehicle. Avoid charging and parking your ve-
hicle in extreme temperatures (hot or
cold).
When the vehicle is parked in tempera-
tures lower than around -25°C, the bat-
tery cannot be charged.
To preserve the service life of your trac-
tion battery, avoid parking the vehi-
cle for more than one month with high
charge, especially when the weather is
very hot.
Favour charging the traction battery
after driving and/or in mild tempera-
tures. Otherwise, charging may take a
longer period of time or even become
impossible.
2
In the absence of any protection
against overvoltage, you are recom-
mended not to charge the vehicle in
stormy weather (lightning, etc.).
Recommendations
– In extreme heat, favour parking and
recharging the vehicle in a shaded/
covered location.
– Charging can be performed in the rain or snow.
Note:
If in a snowy environment, remove
snow from the vehicle charging area
before plugging in or disconnecting.
Snow in the socket may block the in-
sertion of the charging cord plug.
The traction battery charging time
depends on the amount of energy
remaining and the power delivered
by the charging terminal. The infor-
mation is displayed on the instru-
ment panel during charging. Please
see the information on “Displays
and indicators” in Section 1.
In the event of a problem, we rec-
ommend that you replace it with an
identical cord. Please see an autho-
rised dealer.

CHILD SAFETY: General information (1/2)
Carrying children
Children, and adults, must be correctly
seated and strapped in for all journeys.
The children being carried in your vehi-
cle are your responsibility.
A child is not a miniature adult. Children
are at risk of specific injuries as their
muscles and bones have not yet fin-
ished growing. The seat belt alone
would not provide suitable protection.
Use an approved child seat and ensure
you use it correctly.
A collision at 30 mph
(50 km/h) is the same as fall-
ing a distance of 10 metres.
Transporting a child without
a restraint is the equivalent of allow-
ing him or her to play on a fourth-
floor balcony without railings.
Never travel with a child held in your
arms. In the event of an accident,
you will not be able to keep hold of
the child, even if you yourself are
wearing a seat belt.
If your vehicle has been involved in
a road accident, replace the child
seat and have the seat belts and
ISOFIX anchorage points checked.
To prevent the doors being
opened, use the “Child
safety” device (refer to the
information on “Opening
and closing the doors” in Section 1).
Driver’s responsibility
when parking or stopping
the vehicle
Never leave an animal,
child or adult who is not self-suffi-
cient alone on your vehicle, even for
a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves
or to others by starting the engine,
activating equipment such as the
electric windows or by locking the
doors.

ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.

CHILD SAFETY: General information (2/2)
Using a child seat
The level of protection offered by the
child seat depends on its ability to re-
strain your child and on its installation.
Incorrect installation compromises the
protection it offers the child in the event
of harsh braking or an impact.
Before purchasing a child seat, check
that it complies with the regulations for
the country you are in and that it can
be fitted in your vehicle. Consult an ap-
proved dealer to find out which seats
are recommended for your vehicle.
Before fitting a child seat, read the
manual and respect its instructions. If
you experience any difficulties during
installation, contact the manufacturer
of the equipment. Keep the instructions
with the seat.Set a good example by always fas-
tening your seat belt and teaching
your child:
– to strap themselves in correctly.
– to always get in and out of the car at the kerb, away from busy traf-
fic.
Do not use a second-hand child
seat or one without an instruction
manual.
Check that there are no objects in
the vicinity of the child seat which
could impede its operation.
Never leave a child unat-
tended in the vehicle.
Check that your child is
always strapped in and that
the belt or safety harness used is
correctly set and adjusted. Avoid
wearing bulky clothing which could
cause the belts to slacken.
Never let your child put their head or
arms out of the window.
Check that the child is in the correct
position for the entire journey, espe-
cially if asleep.

on the previous page, to ensure the regula-
tions in force are respected.

PEDESTRIAN HORN
Electric vehicles are particularly quiet.
This system enables you to warn
people of your presence – especially
pedestrians and cyclists.
The system is activated automatically
when the engine is started. The sound
triggers when the vehicle speed is be-
tween 1 and 20 mph (1 and 30 km/h).
Deactivating the system
With the engine running, press the
switch 1 to deactivate the function. The
warning light 2 in the switch 1 comes
on.
Activating the system
With the engine running, press the
switch 1 to activate the function. The
warning light 2 in the switch 1 goes out.
System activated:
– it goes on standby automatically
when the vehicle speed is above ap-
proximately 20 mph (30 km/h);
– The system is activated automati- cally when the vehicle is being driven
at a speed below approximately
20 mph (30 km/h).
Warning noise selection
– Keep the switch 1 depressed.The various sounds will be played in
succession;
– release the switch 1 on the sound of
your choice.
