\bLow traction battery level
warning light
This comes on when the traction bat-
tery charge level has reached the re-
serve threshold. Please see the infor-
mation on “Displays and indicators” in
Section 1.
Electrotechnical system
warning light
If it lights up while driving, this means
there is an electrotechnical fault in the
“58 volt” electrical circuit. Please see an
authorised dealer as soon as possible.
When the vehicle is started or while
driving, if it flashes accompanied by
the
® warning light and a beep,
this indicates that the charging flap is
open or not correctly closed. Stop and
switch off the ignition, make sure that
the charging cord is disconnected and
that the flap is fully closed.

a calmer driving style.
The warning light can be accompa-
nied by a drop in vehicle perform-
ance. The presence and operation of the warning lights DEPEND ON THE EQUIPMENT\
AND COUNTRY.

Charge level 1
The gauge indicates the level of energy
remaining.
NB: Each time you switch off the igni-
tion, the remaining energy level will be
calculated.
Once you switch on the ignition again,
you will see a slight change in the level
display. The presence and operation of the display and indicators DEPENDS ON THE \
LEVEL OF EQUIPMENT AND THE COUNTRY.
Immobilisation threshold imminent
When the battery reaches less than 6%
charge, a beep repeats every 20 sec-
onds and warning light
Ṏ flashes on
and off.
Motor performance gradually de-
creases until the vehicle comes to a
stop.
Please see the information on “Towing:
in the event of energy loss” in Section 5.

Forecast range display features
– Sporty driving will strongly affect the forecast range value. Once you
return to a calmer driving style, you
will need to drive for several miles to
return to an estimate that is closer to
the real situation;
– the forecast range displayed after charging the traction battery is calcu-
lated based on the power consump-
tion over the last 93 miles (150 kilo-
metres) travelled.
Instrument panel in miles
It is possible to switch to km/h.
Press button 5 and switch on the igni-
tion.
The speed measurement unit indica-
tor flashes for approximately three sec-
onds, then the new unit flashes on the
display and is then lit up continuously:
release button 5.
To return to miles, proceed in the same
manner.Display 4

HANDBRAKE
To apply:
Pull lever 1 upwards and make sure the
vehicle is immobilised. Warning light 3

Special conditions
It is not possible to release the hand-
brake when the 12 volt battery is dis-
charged.
You must recharge it (see “12V battery”
in Section 4) before you can release the
handbrake, or have the 12V battery re-
placed by an authorised dealer.
The handbrake is a vehicle safety
measure. It cannot be released
unless the ignition is switched on.

2.8
ENVIRONMENT
Please make your own
contribution towards
protecting the environment
too.
– Worn parts replaced in the course of routine vehicle maintenance (vehi-
cle battery, etc.) must be disposed of
through specialist bodies.
– 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.
Manufacture
Your vehicle has been manufactured at
an industrial site which uses a progress
policy to reduce environmental impacts
on rivers and natural areas (reduc-
tion of water and energy consumption,
visual and noise pollution, atmospheric
emissions and waste water, sorting and
reusing waste).

2.9
CHARGE METER/ECO-CONSUMPTION
Eco-consumption (Éco ScorE)This function shows the driver whether
their driving style is suitable for an opti-
mum vehicle range.
To display this function, press the end
of the windscreen wiper stalk as many
times as necessary.
The squares C indicate increased
range: the more squares there are, the
more range there is remaining for the
vehicle.
Éco ScorE is calculated using the aver-
age from the last 1.8 miles (3 kilome-
tres) travelled. After the traction battery
is charged, it is calculated based on the
last 93 miles (150 kilometres).
Power recovery
B
When driving, if you lift your foot off the
accelerator pedal, the motor generates
electrical current during deceleration,
and this energy is used to recharge the
traction battery.Charge meter
The charge meter gives the driver a
real-time view of the vehicle’s remain-
ing power.
Power consumption A
The traction battery supplies the elec-
trical energy required for the motor to
move the vehicle.

12V BATTERY (1/2)
The secondary battery is a 12 V battery:
this supplies the energy required to op-
erate vehicle equipment (lights, wind-
screen wipers, audio system, etc) and
certain safety systems, such as ABS.
For your safety and the
proper operation of the
vehicle’s electrical equip-
ment (lights, windscreen
wipers, etc.), any work on the se-
condary 12V battery (removal, dis-
connection, etc.) must be carried
out by a specialist.
Risk of serious burns or electric
shocks.
Respect categorically the replace-
ment intervals (without exceeding
them) as stated in the maintenance
document.
The battery is a specific type.
Please ensure it is replaced with the
same type.
Contact an Authorised Dealer.

12 VOLT BATTERY (2/2)Connecting a charger to the
accessories socket
Only use a charger that is compatible
with a nominal voltage of 14.4 volts
and a current limited to 5 amps.
With the ignition switched on, plug
the power supply into the accessories
socket 7 located in the storage com-
partment 8. Please consult an authori-
sed dealer.
Recharging the 12 volt
battery
It is difficult to access the 12 volt bat-
tery. It is therefore recommended that
you attach the vehicle plug to a power
source: energy is supplied to both the
12 volt battery and the traction battery
at the same time.
Please refer to the information on
“Electric vehicle: charging” in Section 1.
Do not forget to switch off the ignition
when replacing the traction battery.
Immobilising the vehicle for an
extended period of time
Before immobilisation, you should
make sure that:
– the ignition is switched off;
– the side lights and hazard warning lights are switched off;
– the traction battery is fully charged.
After lengthy immobilisation, it is normal
to find the traction battery charge
level down. In this case, recharge it
(see “Electric vehicle: charging” in
Section 1).
Do not use booster cables
to start the vehicle.
Risk of serious injury.

Only connect accessories
with a maximum power of
65 watts. When several ac-
cessory sockets are used
at the same time, the total power of
the connected accessories must not
exceed 65 watts.
Fire hazard.
