Fuel filler cap: this is of a
special type.
If you have to replace it,
make sure it is identical
to the original cap. Contact an ap-
proved Dealer.
Never place the cap near a source
of heat or flame.
Do not wash the filler area with a
high-pressure washer.
Fuel filling– Insert the nozzle so that the valve is open and fully insert the nozzle
before engaging it in order to fill the
tank (risk of splash-back).
– Keep the nozzle in this position throughout the entire filling opera-
tion.
When the pump cuts out automatically
at the end of the filling procedure, a
maximum of two further filling attempts
may be made so as to leave sufficient
room for expansion.
Persistent smell of
fuel
If you notice a persistent
smell of fuel you should:
– stop the vehicle as soon as traf- fic conditions allow and switch off
the ignition;
– switch on the hazard warning lights and ask your passengers
to leave the vehicle and to keep
away from traffic;
– contact an approved Dealer.
Do not operate the addi-
tional heating when the ve-
hicle fuel tank is being filled.

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.

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (1/2)
The vehicle range depends on vehicle
usage conditions, equipment fitted and
the user’s driving style. To optimise the
energy consumption, please refer to
the following advice.
Depending on the vehicle, you will be
provided with functions which enable
you to lower the energy consumption:
– ECO mode, activated by the ECO button;
– charge meter.
ECO mode
The ECO function optimises vehicle
range by limiting engine performance.
It acts upon certain power consuming
systems in the vehicle (heating, air con-
ditioning, power-assisted steering etc.)
and on certain driving actions (acceler-
ation, cruise control, deceleration etc.). Activating the function
Press switch 1.
Warning light
2 will come on the instru-
ment panel and the integrated warning
light on the switch will light up.
While driving, it is possible to exit the
ECO mode temporarily in order to im-
prove engine performance.
To do this, press the accelerator pedal
firmly and fully.
2
1
ECO mode is reactivated when you
take pressure off the accelerator pedal.
Disabling the function
Press switch 1.
Warning light 2 and the integrated
warning light on the switch will go out.
The cruise control switches to
standby each time the ECO mode
is activated or deactivated. Please
refer to the information on “Cruise
control/speed limiter: cruise control
function” in Section 2.

2.8
VEHICLE RANGE: recommendations (1/2)
The vehicle range is approved for a
mixed NEDC cycle (New European
Driving Cycle).
In real usage, the range of an electric
vehicle may vary depending on several
factors over which you have partial con-
trol, which may make a considerable
difference to the vehicle range. These
factors are:
– speed and driving style;
– type of road;
– heating level;
– tyres;
– vehicle loading.
Furthermore, activating ECO mode en-
ables the vehicle to automatically take
charge of all energy-consuming ele-
ments to reduce their consumption to
the fullest possible extent. Please refer
to the information on “Eco-driving” in
Section 2.
Speed and driving style
High speeds will reduce your vehicle’s
range.
A “sporty” driving style reduces your
vehicle range: opt for a “lighter” driving
style.Drive at a constant speed.
Adapt your driving style to avoid exces-
sive energy consumption. Please refer
to the information on “Charge meter” in
Section 2.
Anticipate traffic changes by lifting
your foot off the accelerator pedal in
order to recover energy. Please refer
to the information on “Charge meter” in
Section 2.
Favour ECO mode (please see infor-
mation about “ECO mode function” in
Section 2).
Road type
Do not try to maintain the same speed
up a hill, accelerate no more than you
would on flat ground. Keep your foot
in the same position on the accelera-
tor pedal.

2.9
VEHICLE RANGE: recommendations (2/2)
Heating levels
The use of heating or air conditioning
reduces vehicle range.
Before using the vehicle, opt for “air
conditioning programming” mode to
maintain vehicle range (please refer to
the information on “Heating, air condi-
tioning programming” in Section 3).
When driving, minimise the use of heat-
ing and air conditioning and opt for
using the additional heating (please
refer to the information on “Additional
heating” in Section 3).
Tyres
An under-inflated tyre increases energy
consumption. Comply with the speci-
fied tyre pressures for your vehicle.
When driving, use tyres made by the
same manufacturer, with the same di-
mensions, type and structure as the
original tyres. The use of non-regula-
tion tyres significantly reduces vehicle
range.
Please see the information on “Tyre
pressure” in Section 4.
Vehicle loading
Avoid pointlessly overloading your ve-
hicle.

iThe air flow is directed to the
windscreen demisting vents,
the side windows and the passenger
footwells.
This is the recommended position for
the best temperature in cold weather.
óThe air flow is directed mainly
towards the footwells.
GThe air flow is directed to all air
vents and the footwells.
This is the recommended position for
the best temperature in hot weather.
JThe air flow is directed mainly
to the dashboard vents.
Rapid demisting
Turn the controls to the positions W:
– air from the outside;
– maximum temperature;
– demisting.
Using the climate control increases the
speed of demisting.
Adjusting the air temperature
Turn control 2 to obtain the desired
temperature. The further the pointer is
away from the heating stop position,
the higher the temperature will be.
HEATING, AIR-CONDITIONING (2/4)
When the air conditioning system is
used for long periods, it may begin to
feel cold. To increase the temperature,
turn control 2 to the right.
Distribution of air in the
passenger compartment
Turn control 4 to position the pointer op-
posite the marked positions.
WThe air flow is directed to the
windscreen demisting vents
and the side windows. This position
prevents the formation of condensa-
tion.

Adjusting the ventilation
speed
Normal use
Turn control 3 to one of the four posi-
tions to start the ventilation system and
adjust the power.
Select position 1 for minimum ventila-
tion and position 4 for maximum ven-
tilation.

Position 0
In this position:
– heating or air conditioning stops au- tomatically even if button 6 is acti-
vated and the warning light remains
lit;
– the ventilation speed of air in the passenger compartment is zero;
– there is, however, a slight flow of air when the vehicle is moving.
This position should not normally be
used.

3.7
HEATING, AIR-CONDITIONING (4/4)
Air recirculation (isolation of
the passenger compartment)
Turn control 1 towards the air recircula-
tion symbol
K.
In these conditions air is taken from the
passenger compartment and is recircu-
lated, with no air being taken from out-
side the vehicle.
Air recirculation operates as
follows:
– isolating the passenger compart-
ment from the outside air (driving in pol-
luted areas, unpleasant odours, etc.);
– bringing the passenger compartment to the desired temperature as quickly
as possible.
Prolonged use of this position can
lead to condensation forming on the
side windows and windscreen and
problems due to the use of non-re-
newed air in the passenger com-
partment.
We therefore advise you to return to
normal mode (external air) as soon
as the air recirculation function is no
longer required, by turning control 1
again.
1
In cold weather (< 0°C), you are rec-
ommended to position the control 3
in air recirculation position and the
fan speed control 2 in position 2 or 3
only. This setting enables greater ef-
ficiency and lower energy consump-
tion in reaching the passenger com-
partment ambient temperature.
