VEHICLE RANGE: recommendations (2/2)
Tyres
An under-inflated tyre increases energy
consumption. Comply with the speci-
fied tyre pressures for your vehicle.
When replacing them, you must use
tyres made by the same manufacturer,
with the same dimensions, type and
structure as the originals.
Please see the information on “Tyres”
in Section 5.
Use of electrical accessories
and equipment
In the event of freezing, manually
de-ice the windscreen (using a scraper)
to reduce usage of the de-icing/demist-
ing function and to save energy.
Please see the information on “Deicing,
demisting the windscreen” in Section 3.
The use of electrical accessories (GPS,
phone charger, etc.) reduces vehicle
range.
Vehicle loading
Avoid pointlessly overloading your ve-
hicle.
For safety reasons, the use
of tyres other than those
recommended by the man-
ufacturer is prohibited.
Failure to respect this recommen-
dation may adversely affect stability,
behaviour, braking or the play be-
tween the bodywork and the tyres...
Some of these effects may lead to
the loss of control of the vehicle
under certain driving conditions,
and lead to an accident and serious
injury.

TYRES (2/4)
Tyre pressures
Respect the tyre pressures, checking
them at least once a month and before
any long journeys.
Pressures should be checked when the
tyres are cold; ignore higher pressures
which may be reached in hot weather
or following a fast journey. If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are
cold, the normal
pressures must be increased by 0.2 to
0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Use in winter
The use of snow or winter tyres signifi-
cantly reduces the vehicle range.
Incorrect tyre pressures
lead to abnormal tyre wear
and unusually hot running.
These are factors which
may seriously affect safety and lead
to:
– poor road holding,
– risk of bursting or tread separa- tion.
The pressure depends on the load
and the speed of use. Adjust the
pressure based on the user condi-
tions.
Please be aware that a
poorly tightened or miss-
ing valve cap can make the
tyres less airtight and lead
to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to
those fitted originally and tighten
them fully.
Snow or Winter tyres
We would recommend that these be
fitted to all four wheels to ensure that
your vehicle retains maximum adhe-
sion.
Warning : These tyres sometimes have
a specific direction of rotation and a
maximum speed index which may be
lower than the maximum speed of your
vehicle.
You must use tyres made by the same
manufacturer, with the same dimen-
sions, type and structure.
Chains
In all cases, we would recommend
that you contact an approved dealer
who will be able to advise you on
the choice of equipment which is
most suitable for your vehicle.
For safety reasons, the use
of chains is strictly forbid-
den.

TYRES (4/4)
When they need to be re-
placed, only tyres of the
same make, size, type and
profile should be used.
Tyres fitted to the vehicle should
either be identical to those fitted
originally or conform to those
recommended by your autho-
rised dealer.
For safety reasons, the use
of tyres other than those
recommended by the man-
ufacturer is prohibited.
Failure to respect this recommen-
dation may adversely affect stability,
behaviour, braking or the play be-
tween the bodywork and the tyres...
Some of these effects may lead to
the loss of control of the vehicle
under certain driving conditions,
and lead to an accident and serious
injury.

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.
