Translated from French. Copying or translation, in part or in full, is fo\
rbidden unless prior written permission has been obtained from the vehicle manu-facturer.
This driver’s handbook contains the information necessary:
– for you to familiarise yourself with your vehicle, to use it to its best\
advantage and to benefit fully from the all the func tions and
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\
attention.
It is well worth taking a few minutes to read this handbook to familiari\
se yourself with the information and guidelines it cont ains
about the vehicle and its functions and new features. If certain points \
are still unclear, our Network technicians will be only too
pleased to provide you with any additional information.
The following symbol will help you when reading this handbook:
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.

ELECTRIC VEHICLE: charging (3/5)
Charging cord 2
This cord enables a full recharge of
the traction battery in approximately
3.5 hours.
The cord is located in the storage com-
partment at the front of the vehicle.
Do not use an extension
lead or a multiple socket.
Only use an adapter ap-
proved by the construc-
tor. Please contact an authorised

Fire hazard.
2
Avoid charging and parking your ve-
hicle in extreme temperatures (hot or
cold).
Favour charging the traction battery in
mild temperatures.
When the outdoor temperature falls
below zero or is very high, the traction
battery charging time will be longer.
Charging may become impossible
when the temperature is extremely low.
When the vehicle is parked for more
than seven days in temperatures below
about -25°C, charging the traction bat-
tery can become impossible.
When the vehicle is parked for more
than three months with near zero
charge, charging the battery can
become impossible.
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. Recommendations
Favour parking and recharging the ve-
hicle in a shaded/covered location.
Wear to the charging cord
protective sleeve.
The charging cord must be
replaced in the event that
the blue (or orange) protec-
tive sleeve, depending on
the vehicle, is damaged. Contact an
approved Dealer.
Risk of serious injury and/or electric
shock which may endanger life.

ing equipment.
Risk of serious injury.

1.23
ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT
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.
The airbags are not always triggered if the vehicle overturns or in the \
event of a
rear impact, however severe. Impacts to the underside of the vehicle (s\
uch as
from a pavement or stones, etc.) can cause this system to be triggered.\
– Any work or modification to any part of the airbag system (airbags, ECU\
, wiring, etc.) is prohibited (except by qualified personnel from an authorised 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 air bag system checked if your vehicle \
has 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 driver’s handbook with the vehicle.
– When scrapping your vehicle, contact your approved dealer for disposal o\
f the gas generator(s).
Operating faults
This warning light 1 å will light up
on the instrument panel when the igni-
tion 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, etc.) in the
front seats.
Contact your approved dealer as soon
as possible. Your protection will be re-
duced until this fault is rectified.
1All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructed 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.

1.24
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 a booster 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
booster seat and have the seat belts
checked.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 of injury, such
as by starting the engine or activat-
ing equipment.
Risk of serious injury.
Driver’s responsibility
Never use the storage
space as a booster seat for
a child or a pet. Otherwise,
this could place your child or pet in
danger, or endanger the driver, in
the event of hard braking or impact.
Risk of death or serious injuries.
