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

The air bag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both \
the air bags and seat belts are integral parts of the same protection 
system. It is therefore essential to wear seat belts at all times. If se\
at belts 
are not worn, the occupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in\
 
the event of an accident. It may also increase the risk of minor superfi\
cial injuries 
occurring when the air bag is deployed, although such minor injuries are\
 always 
possible with air bags.
If the vehicle should overturn or suffer a rear impact, however severe, the pre-
tensioners and air bags are not always triggered. Impacts to the undersi\
de of the 
vehicle, eg. from pavements, potholes or stones, can all trigger these s\
ystems.
–  No work or modification  whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the air 
bag system (air bags, pretensioners, computer, wiring harness, etc.), except 
by qualified personnel from an approved Dealer.
–  To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidenta\
l trig- gering of the system which may cause injury, only qualified Network personnel 
may work on the air bag system.
–  As a safety precaution, have the airbag system checked if your vehicle h\
as  been involved in an accident, or is stolen or broken into.
–  When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and\
 hand  over this handbook with the vehicle.
–  When scrapping your vehicle, contact your approved Dealer for disposal o\
f the  gas generator(s).
ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT
All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructe\
d in any 
way when it is inflated and also to prevent the risk of serious injuries\
 caused 
by items which may be dislodged when the air bag inflates.
Operating faults
This warning light  1 will light up on the 
instrument panel when the ignition is 
switched on and then go out after a few 
seconds.
If it does not come on when the ignition 
is switched on, or if it comes on when 
the engine is running, there is a fault 
with the system (airbags, pretension-
ers, etc.) in the front and/or rear seats.
Contact your approved dealer as soon 
as possible. Your protection will be re-
duced until this fault is rectified.

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.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather, 
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS 
INJURY.

normal load). As a general precau-
tion, check that the lights are not 
obscured (by dirt, mud, snow or ob-
jects being transported).

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (2/3)
Electronic stability program 
ESC with understeer control 
and traction control
Electronic stability control ESC
This system helps you to keep control 
of the vehicle in critical driving condi-
tions (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip 
on a bend, etc.).
Operating principle
A sensor in the steering wheel detects 
the direction selected by the driver.
Other sensors throughout the vehicle 
measure the actual direction.
The system compares driver input to 
the actual trajectory of the vehicle and 
corrects the trajectory if necessary by 
controlling the braking of certain wheels 
and/or engine power. In the event that 
the system is engaged, indicator light 
 flashes on the instrument panel. Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the 
ESC in the case of pronounced under-
steer (loss of front axle road holding).
Traction control
This system helps to limit wheelspin of 
the drive wheels and to control the ve-
hicle when pulling away accelerating or 
decelerating.
Operating principle
Using the wheel sensors, the system 
measures and compares the speed of 
the drive wheels at all times and slows 
down their over-rotation. If a wheel is 
starting to slip, the system brakes au-
tomatically until the drive supplied be-
comes compatible with the level of grip 
under the wheel again.
The system also adjusts the engine 
speed to the grip available under the 
wheels, independently of the pressure 
exerted on the accelerator pedal. Operating faults
When the system detects an operating 
fault the message “CHECK ESC” and 
warning light 
© appear on the in-
strument panel. In this case, the ESC 
and traction control system are deacti-
vated.
Consult an approved dealer.
