warning

Please read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow these instructions may lead to a risk of fire, serious injury or electric shocks which could result in death.

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 furniture) the electric circuit or the traction battery may be damaged.

Have the vehicle checked by an authorised Dealer.

Never touch "high voltage" components or orange cables which are exposed and visible inside or outside the vehicle.

In the event of serious damage to the traction battery, leaks may occur:

  • never touch liquids (fluids, etc.), coming from the traction battery;
  • in the event of contact with the body, wash the affected area with plenty of water and consult a doctor as soon as possible.

In the event of fire

In the event of a fire, leave the vehicle immediately and evacuate it, then contact the emergency services, informing them that this is a hybrid vehicle.

If you have to intervene, only use ABC or BC extinguishing agents that are suitable for extinguishing fires on electrical systems. Do not use water or other extinguishing agents.

In the event of damage to the electrical circuit, please contact an authorised Dealer.

All towing operations

Refer to the paragraph entitled "Towing, breakdown recovery" Towing: breakdown.

Washing the vehicle

Never wash the engine compartment or the "high voltage" traction battery with a high-pressure jet.

This risks damaging the electric circuit.

Risk of electric shock and a risk to life.
