Operates similar to an automatic gear-
box.
Selector lever 1The display 3 on the instrument panel
indicates the gear lever position.
P: park
R: reverse
N: neutral
D: forward drive
OperationTo start the engine, please refer to the
information on “Starting/Stopping the
engine” in Section 2.
To move out of position P, you must de-
press the brake pedal before pressing
unlocking button 2.
With the foot on the brake pedal (warn-
ing light
c on the display 3 goes out),
move the lever out of position P.
The vehicle can only start of the

The vehicle can only be started if
the charging cord is unplugged from
the vehicle.
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
Put the lever 1 to position D or R.
The vehicle moves forward once
you release the brake pedal (without
pressing on the accelerator pedal).

2.5
Parking the vehicle
When the vehicle is at a standstill,
place the lever in position P: the drive
wheels are mechanically locked by the
transmission.
Apply the handbrake.
GEAR CONTROL (2/2)/HANDBRAKE
Operating fault
When setting off, if the lever is locked
in position P, even though you are de-
pressing the brake pedal and pressing
the unlocking button 2, the lever can still
be released manually. To do this, unclip
the cover 4 at the base of the lever.
Simultaneously press at the location 7
and the unlocking button 2 on the lever.
In the event of an impact to
the underside of the vehicle
(e.g.: striking a post, raised
kerb or other street furni-
ture), this may result in damage to
the vehicle (e.g.: twisted axle), the
electrical circuit or the traction bat-
tery.
Do not touch the circuit elements or
any fluids or liquids.
To prevent any risk of accident,
have your vehicle checked by an
authorised dealer.
Risk of serious injury or electric
shock and risk to life.
Handbrake
To release:
Pull the lever 6 up slightly, press
button 5 and then lower the lever to the
floor.
To apply:
Pull lever 6 upwards and make sure the
vehicle is immobilised.
When stationary and de-
pending on the slope and/or
vehicle load, it may be nec-
essary to pull up the hand-
brake at least two extra notches and
engage position P.
Make sure that the hand-
brake is properly released
when driving (red indicator
light off), otherwise over-
heating may occur.

Electronic stability program
ESC with understeer control
and traction control
Electronic stability control ESC
This system helps you to keep control
of the vehicle in critical driving condi-
tions (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip
on a bend, etc.).
Operating principle
A sensor in the steering wheel detects
the direction selected by the driver.
Other sensors throughout the vehicle
measure the actual direction.
The system compares driver input to
the actual trajectory of the vehicle and
corrects the trajectory if necessary by
controlling the braking of certain wheels
and/or engine power. In the event that
the system is engaged, indicator light
 flashes on the instrument panel.Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the
ESC in the case of pronounced under-
steer (loss of front axle road holding).
Traction control
This system helps to limit wheelspin of
the drive wheels and to control the ve-
hicle when pulling away accelerating or
decelerating.
Operating principle
Using the wheel sensors, the system
measures and compares the speed of
the drive wheels at all times and slows
down their over-rotation. If a wheel is
starting to slip, the system brakes au-
tomatically until the drive supplied be-
comes compatible with the level of grip
under the wheel again.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operat-
ing fault the message “Check ESC” and
warning light
© appear on the in-
strument panel. In this case, the ESC
and traction control system are deacti-
vated.
Consult an approved dealer.
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (2/4)

2.17
Emergency brake assist
This system supplements the ABS
and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis-
tances.
Operating principle
The system is for detecting an emer-
gency braking situation. In this case,
the braking assistance immediately de-
velops maximum power and may trig-
ger ABS regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as
the brake pedal is applied.
Hazard warning lights switching on
These may light up in the event of rapid
deceleration.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operat-
ing fault the message “Check brak-
ing system” appears on the instrument
panel along with the
© warning
light.
Consult an approved dealer.
Braking anticipation
Depending on the vehicle, when you
rapidly release the accelerator, the
system anticipates the braking ma-
noeuvre in order to reduce stopping
distances.
Special cases
When using the cruise control:
– if you use the accelerator, when you release it, the system may be trig-
gered;
– if you do not use the accelerator, the system will not be triggered.
Hill start assistance
This function assists the driver when
starting on hills. It prevents the vehicle
from rolling backwards, depending on
the slope, by automatically applying the
brakes when the driver lifts his/her foot
off the brake pedal to depress the ac-
celerator pedal.
System operation
It only operates when the gear lever is in
a position other than neutral (other than
N or P ) and the vehicle is completely
stationary (brake pedal depressed).
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (3/4)
The system holds the vehicle for ap-
proximately 2 seconds. The brakes are
then gradually released (the vehicle will
move according to the slope).
The hill start assistance
system cannot completely
prevent the vehicle from
rolling backwards in all sit-
uations (extremely steep gradients,
etc.).
In all cases, the driver may depress
the brake pedal to prevent the vehi-
cle from rolling backwards.
The hill start assistance function
should not be used for prolonged
stops: use the brake pedal.
This function is not designed to im-
mobilise the vehicle permanently.
If necessary, use the brake pedal to
stop the vehicle.
The driver must remain particularly
vigilant when driving on slippery or
low-grip surfaces and/or on hills.
Risk of serious injury.

2.18
Regenerative braking system
When braking, the regenerative brak-
ing system can convert the energy pro-
duced by the vehicle deceleration into
electric energy.
This will recharge the 400V traction bat-
tery and gain greater vehicle range.Operating faults
– © lights up on the instrument
panel, alongside the message
“Check braking system”: braking as-
sistance is available at all times.
Under these conditions, the feel of
applying the brake pedal may be dif-
ferent.
You are recommended to apply
strong continuous pressure to the
pedal.
Please see an authorised dealer.
–
û lights up on the instrument
panel, alongside the message
“Braking system fault”: this indi-
cates a fault in the braking system.
Please call an authorised dealer.
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (4/4)
The û warning light re-
quires you to stop immedi-
ately, for your own safety,
as soon as traffic conditions allow.
Switch off the engine and do not
restart it. Contact an Authorised
Dealer.

2.24
CRUISE CONTROL, SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (3/4)
The cruise control function
is in no way linked to the
braking system.
Adjusting the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be changed by
pressing the following repeatedly:
– switch 2 (+) to increase the speed,
– switch 3 (-) to decrease the speed.
Exceeding the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be exceeded
at any time by depressing the accele-
rator pedal. While it is being exceeded,
the cruising speed flashes on the ins-
trument panel.
Then, release the accelerator: after a
few seconds, the vehicle will automa-
tically return to its set cruising speed.
Cruising speed cannot be
maintained
When driving down a steep gradient,
the system is unable to maintain the
cruising speed: the stored speed will
flash on the instrument panel informa-
tion display to inform you of this situa-
tion.
2354
Putting the function on
standby
The function is set to standby if you:
– use the switch 4 (O);
– the brake pedal;
– move to neutral position;
– ECO mode switch.
In all four cases, the cruising speed
remains stored and the message
“Memorised” appears on the instrument
panel.
Standby is confirmed when the warning
light
Ï on the green background
goes out and the warning light

comes on.
The cruise control switches to
standby each time the ECO
mode is activated or deactivated.
Please refer to the information on
“Ecodriving” in Section 2.
