Practical information  
►ꢀ Take care to select the pump that delivers the  
correct fuel type for the vehicle's engine (see a  
reminder label on the inside of the filler flap).  
►ꢀ Turn the filler cap to the left.  
►ꢀ Remove the filler cap and hang it on its carrier  
(on the filler flap).  
►ꢀ Introduce the filler nozzle and push it in as  
far as possible before starting to refuel (risk of  
blowback).  
Operation  
Charging system (Electric)  
400 V electrical system  
The electrical system, which operates at a voltage  
of approximately 400 V, is identified by orange  
cables, and its components are marked with this  
symbol:  
When a petrol filler nozzle is inserted into the  
fuel filler neck of a Diesel vehicle, it comes into  
contact with the flap. The system remains closed  
and prevents filling.  
►ꢀ Fill the tank.  
Do not continue past the third cut-off of the  
nozzle, as this may cause malfunctions.  
►ꢀ Refit the filler cap.  
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type filler  
nozzle.  
►ꢀ Turn it to the right.  
►ꢀ Push the filler flap to close it.  
It remains possible to use a fuel jerrycan  
to fill the tank.  
If you have put in the wrong fuel for the  
vehicle, you must have the fuel tank  
drained and filled with the correct fuel before  
starting the engine.  
Travelling abroad  
An electric vehicle’s power train can  
become hot during use and after  
switching off the ignition.  
Observe the warning messages shown on  
labels, particularly inside the flap.  
All work on or modifications to the vehicle’s  
electrical system (including the traction  
battery, connectors, orange cables and  
other components visible from the interior or  
exterior) is strictly prohibited - risk of severe  
burns or potentially fatal electric shock (short-  
circuit / electrocution)!  
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be  
different in other countries, the presence  
of the misfuel prevention device may make  
refuelling impossible.  
Before travelling abroad, it is advisable to  
check with a dealer if the vehicle is suitable  
for the distribution equipment of the countries  
visited.  
The vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter, a  
device which helps to reduce the level of harmful  
emissions in the exhaust gases.  
For petrol engines, you must use unleaded fuel.  
The filler neck is narrower, admitting unleaded  
petrol nozzles only.  
Misfuel prevention (Diesel)  
(Depending on country of sale.)  
This mechanical device prevents filling the tank of  
a Diesel vehicle with petrol.  
In the event of a problem, always contact a  
dealer or a qualified workshop.  
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention  
device is visible when the filler cap is removed.

Practical information  
You must immediately contact the emergency  
services, informing them that the incident  
involves an electric vehicle.  
climate conditions, the distance travelled and  
how often it has been fast-charged.  
In the event of damage to the traction  
battery  
When washing  
Before washing the vehicle, always check  
that the charging flap is closed correctly.  
Never wash the vehicle while the battery is on  
charge.  
It is strictly prohibited to work on the vehicle  
yourself.  
This label is intended solely for use by  
firefighters responding to an incident  
involving the vehicle and for maintenance  
technicians.  
Do not touch liquids coming from the battery,  
and in the event of skin contact with these  
products, wash abundantly with water and  
contact a doctor as soon as possible.  
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop to  
have the system checked.  
High-pressure washing  
To avoid damaging electrical components,  
it is expressly prohibited to use high-pressure  
washing to clean the front compartment or the  
vehicle underbody.  
Do not use a pressure greater than 80 bar  
when washing the bodywork.  
Never allow water or dust to enter the  
connector or charging nozzle - risk of  
electrocution or fire!  
Never connect / disconnect the charging  
nozzle or cable with wet hands - risk of  
electrocution!  
Charging connectors and  
indicator lamps  
Traction battery  
In the event of an accident or impact  
The electrical system or the traction  
battery may be seriously damaged in the event  
of an accident or impact involving the vehicle  
underbody.  
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so and switch  
off the ignition.  
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop  
without delay.  
This battery stores the energy that powers  
the electric motor and the thermal comfort  
equipment in the passenger compartment. It is  
discharged during use, and must therefore be  
regularly recharged. There is no need to wait for  
the traction battery to fall to its reserve level  
before recharging.  
Battery life may vary according to the type of  
driving, the route, thermal comfort equipment  
usage and battery component ageing.  
In the event of exposure to a fire  
Immediately exit and evacuate all  
passengers from the vehicle. Never attempt to  
fight the fire yourself - risk of electrocution!

If the indicator lamp does not go off, contact a  
dealer or a qualified workshop.  
Upon plugging the charging cable into a domestic  
socket, all of the indicator lamps come on briefly.  
If no indicator lamps come on, check the domestic  
socket's circuit-breaker.  
– If the circuit breaker has tripped, contact a  
professional to check that your electrical system  
is suitable and carry out any necessary repairs.  
– If the circuit-breaker has not tripped, avoid  
using the charging cable and contact a dealer or a
