the technical developments it incorporates.
– to ensure that it always gives the best performance by following the sim\
ple, but comprehensive advice concerning regular main -
tenance.
– to enable you to deal quickly with minor faults not requiring specialist\

Welcome to your new electric vehicle
The descriptions of the models given in this handbook are based on the t\
echnical specifications at the time of writing. This hand-
book covers all items of equipment (both standard and optional) available for these models but whether or not these are
fitted to the vehicle depends on the version, options selected and the c\
ountry where the vehicle is sold.
This handbook may also contain information about items of equipment to b\
e introduced later in the model year.
Throughout the manual, the “approved Dealer” is your RENAULT Dealer. To indicate a hazard, danger or safety recommendation.
Enjoy driving your new vehicle.

Special cases
– At very high exterior temperatures, a safety mode is triggered. Warning
light
 comes on the instrument
panel. This mode reduces vehicle
power and can lead to its immobi-
lisation. We recommend that you
stop and allow the electrical system
to cool down, until the warning light
 goes off. The vehicle then re-
covers its performance.
– After a maximum charge for the trac- tion battery and during the first few
miles when driving the vehicle, or
during very low outside tempera-
tures, the engine brake is tempora-
rily reduced. Please adapt your dri-
ving style accordingly.
The engine brake should
under no circumstances be
used as a substitute for the
brake pedal.
Bad weather, flooded roads:
Do not drive through
floods if the depth of
water is above the
lower edge of the wheel
rims.
If a water level reaches
the vehicle floor, do not re-
charge the vehicle. Please
consult an authorised
dealer.
Risk of electric shock and a risk to
life.
