operable additional functions, refer to the  
corresponding section.  
In the event of a long period of non-use of  
the vehicle (beyond 4 weeks) without the  
possibility of charging when restarting, the  
self-discharge may make it impossible to  
restart if the traction battery charge level  
is a low or very low, especially at negative  
ambient temperatures. ALWAYS make sure  
that the traction battery has a charge between  
20% and 40% if you do not plan to use your  
vehicle for several weeks.  
Do not connect the charging cable.  
Always park the vehicle in a place with  
temperatures between -10°C and 30°C  
(parking in a place with extreme temperatures  
can damage the traction battery).  
Wearers of pacemakers or equivalent  
devices  
Ask your doctor about what precautions  
you should take, or ask the manufacturer  
of your implanted electro-medical device about  
whether its operation is guaranteed in an  
environment which complies with the ICNIRP  
recommendations.  
As a safety measure, the engine will not  
start if the charging cable is plugged into  
the connector on the vehicle. A warning is  
displayed on the instrument panel.
