normal noises speciꢃc to electric vehicles, such

as:

– Regenerative braking.

– Traction battery relay when starting.

– Vehicle tyres or aerodynamics when driving.

► Observe the driving regulations and remain

vigilant whatever the traꢀc conditions.

► Monitor your environment and keep your

hands on the wheel to be able to react to

anything that may happen any time.

► Drive smoothly, anticipate the need for

braking and maintain a longer safety distance,

especially in bad weather.

► Stop the vehicle to carry out operations that

require close attention (such as adjustments).

If you are obliged to drive on a ꢁooded road:

Exterior sound environment

We strongly advise against driving on ꢁooded

roads, as this could seriously damage your

vehicle's motor and electrical systems.

the release button, then lower the lever fully.

If this warning lamp lights up when the

vehicle is moving, this indicates that the

parking brake is still applied or has not been fully

released.

Pay particular attention to children, pedestrians,

cyclists and motorcyclists.

propulsion, these people may not be aware that

a vehicle is approaching.

In order to avoid a collision with these people,

the vehicle is ꢃtted with a pedestrian horn.

Application

► Pull the parking brake lever up to immobilise

the vehicle.

When parking on a slope, turn the

wheels against the kerb and/or place a

chock behind one of the wheels, apply the

parking brake and switch oꢂ the ignition.

Do not depress the accelerator pedal

Engine braking and energy recovery

The vehicle is ꢃtted with an energy

recovery system which operates during

deceleration: regenerative braking.

This system of engine braking consists of

recovering part of the energy generated

during deceleration and feeding it back to

the traction battery in order to improve the

vehicle's driving range.
