check engine RENAULT ZOE 2017 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

1.7
IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS
Please read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow these instructions may lead to a risk of fire, serious injury
or electric shock which may present a risk to life.
In the event of an accident or impact
In the event of an accident or an impact to the underside of the vehicle\
(e.g.: striking a post, raised kerb or other street fu rni-
ture), this may damage the electric circuit or the traction battery.
Have the vehicle checked by an authorised dealer.
Never touch the “400 volt” components or orange cables which are e\
xposed and visible inside or outside the vehicle.
In the event of serious damage to the traction battery, leaks may occur:
– never touch the liquids (fluids, etc.) coming from the traction batter\
y;
– in the event of contact with the body, wash the affected area with plenty of water and consult a doctor as soon as possibl\
e.
In the event of an impact, even slight, against the charging flap and/or\
valve, have them checked by an authorised dealer as
soon as possible.
In the event of fire
In the event of fire, make everyone evacuate the vehicle immediately and\
contact the emergency services, informing them that
this is an electric vehicle.

ater or other extinguish-
ing agents.
In the event of damage to the electrical circuit, please call an authori\
sed dealer.
All towing operations
Please refer to the information on “Towing, breakdowns” in Section 5.
Washing the vehicle
Never wash the engine compartment, the charging connection or the tracti\
on battery with a high-pressure jet.
This risks damaging the electric circuit.

function
With the engine running, press
button 1 for approximately five seconds
until you hear a beep.
Operating principle
After the vehicle is started, the system
automatically locks the doors when
you are driving at approximately 6 mph
(10 km/h) and over.
The door can be unlocked:
– by pressing the door unlocking button 1.
– by opening a front door (vehicle sta- tionary).
NB: if a door is opened or closed, it will
automatically lock again when the vehi-
cle reaches a speed of 6 mph (10 km/h).
Operating faults
If you experience an operating fault
(no automatic locking, the indicator
light incorporated in button 1 does not
light up when trying to lock the open-
ing elements, etc.), firstly check that the
opening elements are properly closed.
If they are properly closed, contact an
authorised dealer.1
Driver’s responsibility
If you decide to keep the
doors locked when you are
driving, remember that it
may be more difficult for those as-
sisting you to gain access to the
passenger compartment in the
event of an emergency.

warning light on display 6
It lights up when the engine is started
and, if the driver’s seat belt is not fas-
tened, the light flashes and a beep
sounds for about two minutes when
the vehicle reaches a speed of approxi-
mately 12 mph (20 km/h).
NB: an object placed on the passenger
seat cushion may activate the warning
light in some cases.

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 an approved child 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 child
seat and have the seat belts and
ISOFIX anchorage points checked.
To prevent the doors being
opened, use the “Child
safety” device (refer to the
information on “Opening
and closing the doors” in Section 1).
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 to themselves
or to others by starting the engine,
activating equipment such as the
electric windows or by locking the
doors.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.

Risk of injury and/or damage.
1Check the condition of the wiper
blades. You are responsible for their
service life:
– they must remain clean: clean the blades, windscreen and
rear screen regularly with soapy
water;
– do not use them when the wind- screen or rear screen are dry;
– free them from the windscreen or rear screen when they have not
been used for a long time.
