ELECTRIC VEHICLE: introduction (4/5)
For safety reasons, adapt 
your driving to driving condi-
tions and avoid any sudden 
turning of the steering 
wheel, especially on steep slopes or 
slippery surfaces.
Failure to respect these recommen-
dations may lead to a loss of control 
of the vehicle.
Risk of accident and serious injury.
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.
Having a passenger effects 
vehicle balance, road hold-
ing and increases the vehi-
cle braking distance.
Adapt your driving to the driving 
conditions and avoid any sudden 
manoeuvre which could lead to a 
loss of control over the vehicle. Risk 
of accident and serious injury.
Driving
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. Please refer to the information 
on the “Charge meter” in Section 2.
An electric motor generates a greater 
engine brake than in a petrol or diesel 
engine vehicle.

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.

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.

ng a 
post, raised kerb or other street furniture), this may result in damage\
 to 
the vehicle (e.g.: twisted axle), the electrical circuit or the tracti\
on battery.
Do not touch the circuit elements or any fluids or liquids.
To prevent any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an authoris\
ed 
dealer.
Risk of serious injury or electric shock.

WIPER BLADE
Check the condition of the wiper 
blades. How long they last depends 
on you:
–  clean the blades and the wind-screen regularly with soapy 
water;
–  do not use them when the wind- screen is dry;
–  free them from the windscreen  when they have not been used 
for a long time.
– In freezing weather, make 
sure that the wiper blades 
are not stuck by ice (to 
avoid the risk of the wiper 
motor overheating).
–   Keep an eye on the condition of 
the blade.
Replace the wiper blades as soon 
as they begin to lose efficiency: 
approximately once a year.
When changing the blade, when it 
has been removed, do not let the 
wiper arm fall against the window: 
risk of breaking the window.Replacement
With the ignition on and the engine 
stopped:
–  lift windscreen wiper arm  2 as far as 
it will go;
– pivot blade  1 until it is removed from 
its hinge.
Refitting
To refit the wiper blade, clip the blade 
onto its hinge. Make sure that the blade 
is correctly locked in position.

OPERATING FAULTS (1/3)
The following advice will enable you to carry out quick, temporary repai\
rs. For safety reasons you should always contact 
an approved dealer as soon as possible.
FAULTSPOSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO
Impossible to charge the 
traction battery. No electrical current in domes-
tic sockets or poor connection of 
cable to domestic socket. Check your installation (circuit breaker, programmer, 
etc.).
Check the connections (power socket, etc.). Please 
refer to the information on “Electric vehicle: charging” 
in Section 1.
The outdoor temperature is ex-
tremely low. Recharge your vehicle in a more suitable environ-
ment. Please refer to the information on “Electric ve-
hicle: charging” in Section 1.
The cord is defective. Please see an authorised dealer to replace it.
The steering column remains 
locked. Steering wheel locked.
Move the steering wheel while pressing the engine 
start button (refer to Section 2 “Starting the engine”).
Vibrations. Tyres incorrectly inflated or dam-
aged. Check the tyre pressures. If this is not the problem, 
have them checked by an approved Dealer.
The engine performance is 
limited. The outdoor temperature is ex-
tremely high. Opt for a calmer driving style.
The traction battery reserve has 
been reached. Recharge the traction battery as soon as possible. 
Please refer to the information on “Electric vehicle: 
charging” in Section 1.
The vehicle will not start. The charging flap is open or not 
properly closed. Check that the charging flap is correctly locked. In 
other cases, contact an authorised dealer as soon as 
possible.
