Fuel grade
Use  a  high-grade  fuel   that  complies 
with  the  legislation  in  force  in  each 
country  and  which  must  conform  to 
the specifications given on the label on 
cover A.
Fuel odours and smoke may be present 
after a long period without using the ad-
ditional heating.

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.

Driver’s responsibility
Never  leave  your  vehi -
cle  with  the  key  inside  and 
never  leave  a  child  (or  a 
pet)  unsupervised,  even  for  a  short 
while.
There  is  a  risk  that  they  could  start 
the  engine  or  operate  electrical 
equipment  (electric  windows  etc.) 
and  trap  part  of  their  body  (neck, 
arms, hands, etc.).
Risk of serious injury.
Never  switch  off  the  ignition  before 
the vehicle has come to a complete 
stop.  Switching  off  the  engine  dis -
ables  the  assistance  equipment: 
brakes,  power-assisted  steering, 
etc., and the passive safety devices 
such as airbagsand pretensioners.
“Stop and steering lock” 
position St
To unlock: turn the key and the steering 
wheel slightly.
To  lock:  remove  the  key  and  turn  the 
steering wheel until the steering column 
locks.
“accessories” position  a
When  the  ignition  is  switched  off,  any 
accessories (radio, etc.) will continue to 
function.The  vehicle  can  only  be  started  if 
the charging cord is unplugged from 
the vehicle.
The  vehicle  can  only  be  started  if 
the selector lever is at P. Please see

In  the  event  an  impact  to 
the underside of the vehicle 
(e.g.:  striking  a  post,  raised

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,

Vehicle range: recommendations
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  in
-
formation 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.

VEHiclE rangE: recommendations (2/2)
Heating levels
The  use  of  heating  or  air  conditioning 
reduces vehicle range.
Before  using  the  vehicle,  opt  for  “pro -
grammable  heating”  mode  to  maintain 
vehicle range (please refer to the infor-
mation in “Heating, air conditioning pro-
gramming” 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).
t yres
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.

Emissions
Your  vehicle  has  been  designed  to 
emit  fewer  greenhouse  gases  (CO2) 
while in use, and therefore to consume 
less  fuel  (eg.  140  g/km,  equivalent  to 
5.3 l/100 km for a diesel vehicle).
Our  vehicles  are  also  equipped  with  a 
particle  filter  system  including  a  cata -
lytic  converter,  an  oxygen  sensor  and 
an  active  carbon  filter  (the  latter  pre -
vents  vapour  from  the  fuel  tank  being 
released into the open air).
For certain diesel vehicles, this system 
also  has  a  particle  filter  to  reduce  the 
volume of soot particles emitted.
Please make your own 
contribution towards 
protecting the environment 
too
–  Worn parts replaced in the course of 
routine  vehicle  maintenance  (vehi -
cle  battery,  oil  filter,  air  filter,  batter -
ies, etc.) and oil containers (empty or 
filled with used oil) must be disposed 
of through specialist organisations. – 
At  the  end  of  the  vehicle’s  service 
life,  it  should  be  sent  to  approved 
centres to ensure that it is recycled.
–  In  all  cases,  comply  with  local  legis -
lation.
recycling
Your  vehicle  is  85%  recyclable  and 
95% recoverable.
To  achieve  these  objectives,  many  of 
the vehicle components have been de-
signed  to  enable  them  to  be  recycled. 
The  materials  and  structures  have 
been  carefully  designed  to  allow  these 
components  to  be  easily  removed  and 
reprocessed by specialist companies.
In  order  to  preserve  raw  material  re -
sources,  this  vehicle  incorporates  nu -
merous parts made from recycled plas-
tics  or  renewable  materials  (vegetable 
or  animal-derived  materials  such  as 
cotton or wool).
Your  vehicle  has  been  designed  with 
respect for the 
environment in mind for 
its entire service life: during production, 
use and at the end of its life.
This commitment is illustrated by the of 
the manufacturer eco² signature.Manufacture
Your vehicle has been manufactured at 
a  factory  which  complies  with  a  policy 
to  reduce  the  environmental  impact 
on  the  surrounding  areas  (reduction  of 
water  and  energy  consumption,  visual 
and  noise  pollution,  atmospheric  emis-
sions  and  waste  water;  sorting  and  re-
using waste).

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.
