heat RENAULT ZOE 2016 1.G Owners Manual

1.6
Driving
As with a car with an automatic gear-
box, you will have to get used to not
using your left foot, and not using this
foot to brake.
When driving, if you lift your foot off the
accelerator pedal or depress the brake
pedal, the motor generates electrical
current during deceleration, and this
energy is used to brake the vehicle and
recharge the traction battery. Please
refer to the information on the “Charge
meter” in Section 2.
Special feature:
After a maximum charge of the battery
and during the first few miles of using
the vehicle, the engine brake will be
temporarily reduced. Please adapt your
driving style appropriately.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE: introduction (5/5)
Bad weather, flooded roads:
Do not drive through floods
if the depth of water is
above the lower edge of
the wheel rims
Your electric vehicle is
silent, so when you get out,
place the gear selector on
P, engage the handbrake
and switch off the ignition.
RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY
The engine brake should
under no circumstances be
used as a substitute for the
brake pedal.
Noise
Electric vehicles are particularly quiet.
You will not yet necessarily be used to
it, and neither will other road users. It
is difficult for them to hear the vehicle
when it is moving.
We would therefore recommend that
you are aware of the horn and make
use of it, especially when driving in a
built-up area or when manoeuvring.
Please refer to the information on the
“Pedestrian horn” in Section 1.
As the motor is silent, you will hear
noises that you are not used to hearing
(aerodynamic noises, tyre noise, etc.)
When charging, the vehicle may emit
noises (fan, relays, etc).
When the vehicle is stopped, the heat-
ing system may start automatically for
self-maintenance.
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

– plug in the end of the cord to the power supply;
4
– plug in the vehicle cord. The Z.E. warning light 7 flashes rapidly;
– after you hear a locking click, check that the charging cord is properly
plugged in. To check the locking, pull
gently on the handle 9.
The charging cord is automatically
locked with the vehicle. This will make it
impossible to unplug the cord from your
vehicle.

FRONT SEATS
To move the seat forwards or
back
Lift handle 1 to unlock. Release the
handle once the seat is in the correct
position and ensure that the seat is fully
locked into position.
To tilt the seatback
Turn control knob 2 to the required po-
sition.
For safety reasons, carry out any adjustments when the vehicle is not
being driven.
We would advise you not to recline the seatbacks too far to ensure that
the effectiveness of the seat belts is not reduced.
No object should be placed on the floor (in front of the driver). Noth\
ing should be
placed around the driver’s feet as such objects may slide under the pedals during
sudden braking manoeuvres and obstruct their use.

Heated seats
Turn control 3 to either position 1, 2 or
3 (depending on the temperature requi-
red). The
ñ indicator light on the ins-
trument panel comes on once the front
seat heating system is operating.
The system, which has a thermostat,
regulates the heating level.
To switch off the heated seat function,
turn control 3 to the OFF position.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/4)
Load limiter
Above a certain severity of impact, this
mechanism is used to limit the force of
the belt against the body so that it is at
an acceptable level.
Anti-submarining air bag
Located on each of the front seats, it
deploys in order to prevent the occu-
pant from sliding under the seat belt.
Air bags for driver and front
passenger
Fitted to the driver and passenger side.
Depending on the vehicle, the pres-
ence of this equipment is indicated
by the word “Airbag” on the steering
wheel, dashboard (air bag zone A) and
a symbol on the lower section of the
windscreen.
Each air bag system consists of:
– an air bag and gas generator fitted on the steering wheel for the driver
and in the dashboard for the front
passenger;
– an electronic unit for system monitor- ing which controls the gas generator
electrical trigger system;
– remote sensors;
– a single warning light
å on the
instrument panel.
A
The air bag system uses
pyrotechnic principles. This
explains why, when the air
bag inflates, it will gener-
ate heat, produce smoke (this does
not mean that a fire is about to start)
and make a noise upon detonation.
In a situation where an air bag is
required, it will inflate immediately
and this may cause some minor, su-
perficial grazing to the skin or other
problems.

1.64
Electrotechnical system
warning light
When the warning light comes on, this
indicates that the traction battery tem-
perature is too low or that the engine or
traction battery temperature is too high.
Opt for a calmer driving style.
The warning light can lead to a drop
in vehicle performance.
If it comes on when you start the vehi-
cle, this indicates a fault in the second-
ary 12 V battery.
Low traction battery level
warning light
It flashes when the traction battery
charge level has reached the reserve
threshold. Please see the informa-
tion on “Displays and indicators” in
Section 1.
 ECO mode function light
This lights up when the function is ac-
tivated.
WARNING LIGHTS (3/3)
Electrotechnical system
warning light
If it lights up while driving, this means
there is an electrotechnical fault in the
