If you have any questions regarding the equipment needed for charging, please ask an authorised dealer.

Important recommendations for charging your vehicle

Please read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow these instructions may lead to a risk of fire, burns or electric shock and serious injury.

Installations on domestic sockets

Have a qualified professional check that each socket you intend to use with the charging cord complies with the standards and regulations in force in your country, and especially that they have:

- a Type A 30 mA residual current differential device;

- a device to protect against overvoltage (16A fuse or circuit breaker for the socket used);

- protection against overvoltage relating to lightning in exposed areas.

You are recommended to test the residual differential current device every month.

You are recommended to regularly check the domestic plug socket or wall-mounted socket. In the event of any damage (corrosion, discolouration, etc.), do not use it.

Charging

Never wash the vehicle while it is charging.

Never wash the vehicle or the traction battery with a high-pressure jet.

Always check that the socket is clean, dry and shows no signs of rust before plugging in. Risk of serious injury and/or electric shock which may endanger life.

In the event of the presence of water, signs of corrosion or foreign bodies in the charging cord socket, do not charge the vehicle. Fire hazard.

Do not attempt to introduce objects into the socket of the charging cord.

Never plug the charging cord into a multiple socket or an extension lead.

Do not remove or modify the charging cord. Fire hazard.

Take care of the cord: do not stand on it, do not get it wet, only pull it gently, do not drive over it, do not allow anything to hit it and keep it away from heat sources.

If the blue (or orange) protective sleeve, depending on the vehicle, is damaged, do not use it. Please see an authorised dealer to replace them.

Charging types that conform to European standards

Alternating current (AC)

If the information is displayed on the vehicle charging flap, follow the instructions below.

Before plugging in a charging lead, check that:

- the colour and one of the letters of the inlet socket 1 correspond to the colour and one of the letters on the end 2 of the lead;

Charging type

Alternating current (AC)

Connection

Charging terminal 1/Charging lead 2

Charging types that conforms to European standards (for all other cases, please contact an approved dealer)

Charging cord 2

This cord enables a full recharge of the traction battery in approximately 3.5 hours.

The cord is located in the storage compartment at the front of the vehicle.

Avoid charging and parking your vehicle in extreme temperatures (hot or cold).

Favour charging the traction battery in mild temperatures.

When the outdoor temperature falls below zero or is very high, the traction battery charging time will be longer. Charging may become impossible when the temperature is extremely low.

When the vehicle is parked for more than seven days in temperatures below about -25°C, charging the traction battery can become impossible.

When the vehicle is parked for more than three months with near zero charge, charging the battery can become impossible.

To preserve the service life of your traction battery, avoid parking the vehicle for more than one month with high charge, especially when the weather is very hot.

Recommendations

Favour parking and recharging the vehicle in a shaded/covered location.

Wear to the charging cord protective sleeve.

Do not use an extension lead or a multiple socket.

Only use an adapter approved by the constructor. Please contact an authorised dealer.

Fire hazard.

The charging cord must be replaced in the event that the blue (or orange) protective sleeve, depending on the vehicle, is damaged. Contact an approved Dealer.

Risk of serious injury and/or electric shock which may endanger life.

Always check that the socket is clean, dry and shows no signs of rust before plugging in.

Risk of serious injury and/or electric shock which may endanger life.

Recharging the traction battery

Ignition switched off:

- open flap 3;

- take out the entire charging cord 2 located in the storage compartment at the front of your vehicle, pulling it by the plug using reasonable force. The maximum length of the charging cord is approximately 3 metres;

- plug in the end of the cord to the power supply (domestic plug socket, etc);

- make sure that the stretch limiter 8 of the charging cord 2 is not exceeded during charging.

When charging, the following information is displayed:

- warning light 4. This flashes to indicate that the traction battery is receiving energy;

- the completed charge percentage 5;

- warning light 6 indicates that the cord is attached to the power supply;

- the battery 7 indicates the amount of energy stored in the traction battery.

At the end of a full charge, the instrument panel switches off.

NB:

It is not necessary to wait:

- until you reach reserve levels in order to recharge your vehicle;

- for a full charge of the traction battery in order to use the vehicle.

In the absence of any protection against overvoltage, you are advised not to charge the vehicle in stormy weather (lightning, etc).

The vehicle can only be charged with the ignition switched off.

Precautions to take when removing from the socket

- Unplug the cord from the power supply by pulling out the plug. The instrument panel goes out;

- reposition the cord 2 correctly in the front storage compartment.

Depending on the vehicle, place the end of the plug in its housing or the cord connector facing down;

- close the flap 3. Check that the bonnet is correctly locked.

Special conditions

If it becomes impossible to unplug the vehicle from the charging terminal (the plug is mechanically locked), turn the key as if to start the vehicle, switch off the ignition, then switch on again.

Attempting to start the vehicle ends the charging process and unlocks the plug from the terminal.

Repeat this operation as many times as is necessary.

After each charge, it is normal to hear a fan noise from the vehicle if it is still plugged in.

When charging, make sure that the charging cord 2 is not overstretched.

Do not pull the vehicle using the charging cord.

If the stretch limiter 8 is damaged, please replace the charging cord. Please contact an authorised dealer.

Important: before starting the vehicle, please make sure that the cord is properly stored in its housing and that the flap is fully closed.
