DRIVER’S HANDBOOK
Welcome to your new electric vehicle
This driver’s handbook contains the information necessary:
– for you to familiarise yourself with your vehicle, to use it to its best advantage and to benefit fully from the all the functions and
the technical developments it incorporates.
– to ensure that it always gives the best performance by following the simple, but comprehensive advice concerning regular main-
tenance.
– to enable you to deal quickly with minor faults not requiring specialist attention.
It is well worth taking a few minutes to read this handbook to familiarise yourself with the information and guidelines it contains
about the vehicle and its functions and new features. If certain points are still unclear, our Network technicians will be only too
pleased to provide you with any additional information.
The following symbol will help you when reading this handbook:

To indicate a hazard, danger or safety recommendation.

The descriptions of the models given in this handbook are based on the technical specifications at the time of writing. This hand-
book covers all items of equipment (both standard and optional) available for these models but whether or not these are
fitted to the vehicle depends on the version, options selected and the country where the vehicle is sold.
This handbook may also contain information about items of equipment to be introduced later in the model year.
Throughout the manual, the “approved Dealer” is your RENAULT Dealer.

Enjoy driving your new vehicle.

Electric vehicle: charging (2/5)

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 elec-
tric 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 used to connect the charging cord.

1.17
SEAT BELTS (3/3)

– No modification may be made to the component parts of the originally fitted restraint system: belts, seats and their
mountings. For special operations (e.g.: fitting booster seats), please contact an authorised dealer.
– Do not use devices which allow any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too
loosely may cause injury in the event of an accident.
– Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.
– Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby or child on your lap with your seat belt around
them.
– The belt should never be twisted.
– Following an accident, have the seat belts checked and replaced if necessary. Always replace your seat belts as soon as
they show any signs of wear.
– Make sure that the buckle is inserted into the appropriate catch.
– Ensure that no objects are placed in the area around the seat belt catch as they could prevent it from being properly se-
cured.
– Make sure the seat belt catch is properly positioned (it should not be hidden away, crushed or flattened by people or ob-
jects).

1.21
Additional methods of restraint
All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructed in any 1
way when it is inflated and also to prevent the risk of serious injuries caused
by items which may be dislodged when the air bag inflates.
The air bag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both
the air bags and seat belts are integral parts of the same protection
system. It is therefore essential to wear seat belts at all times. If seat belts
are not worn, the occupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in
the event of an accident. It may also increase the risk of minor superficial injuries
occurring when the air bag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always
possible with air bags.
The airbags are not always triggered if the vehicle overturns or in the event of a
rear impact, however severe. Impacts to the underside of the vehicle (such as
from a pavement or stones, etc.) can cause this system to be triggered.
– Any work or modification to any part of the airbag system (airbags, ECU, wiring,
etc.) is prohibited (except by qualified personnel from an authorised dealer).
Operating faults

Child safety: General information (1/2)
Carrying children
Children, and adults, must be correctly
seated and strapped in for all journeys.
The children being carried in your vehi-
cle are your responsibility.
A child is not a miniature adult. Children
are at risk of specific injuries as their
muscles and bones have not yet fin-
ished growing. The seat belt alone
would not provide suitable protection.
Use a booster seat and ensure you use
it correctly.

ACCESSORIES

Electrical and electronic accessories


Before installing this type of accessory, make sure it is compatible with your vehicle. You can get advice from an au-
thorised dealer.
To install an accessory requiring intervention with the vehicle’s 12 V electrical circuit, please follow these instructions:
– make sure that the charging cord is unplugged from the power supply;
– switch off the ignition;
– disconnect the 60A circuit breaker fuse.
Risk of serious injury.
Only connect accessories with a maximum power of 65 watts. Fire hazard.
No work may be carried out on the vehicle’s electrical or radio circuits, except by authorised dealers: an incorrectly connected
system may result in damage being caused to the electrical equipment and/or the components connected to it.
If the vehicle is fitted with any aftermarket electrical equipment, make sure that the installation is correctly protected by a fuse.
Establish the rating and position of this fuse.

Use of transmission/receiving devices (telephones, CB equipment etc.).


Telephones and CB equipment with integrated aerials may cause interference to the electronic systems originally fitted to the
vehicle: it is advisable only to use equipment with an external aerial. Furthermore, we remind you of the need to conform
to the legislation in force concerning the use of such equipment.

Fitting after-market accessories


If you wish to install accessories on the vehicle: please contact an authorised dealer. Also, to ensure the correct operation of
your vehicle, and to avoid any risk to your safety, we recommend that you use only accessories specifically designed for your
vehicle, which are the only accessories for which the manufacturer will provide a warranty.
If you are using an anti-theft device, only attach it to the brake pedal.
Obstructions to the driver
Only use mats suitable for the vehicle, attached with the pre-fitted components, and check the fitting regularly. Do not lay one
mat on top of another. There is a risk of wedging the pedals.
