Practical information
During fast charging, the vehicle's air
conditioning may start up automatically,
if necessary, to cool the main battery. It
is therefore completely normal to hear
a ventilation noise from the exterior and
to see a puddle of water form under the
vehicle.
Fast charging stops automatically when
the main battery is about 80% charged. It
is possible to achieve a 100% charge by
starting the procedure again. However, the
time required to complete the charge will
be relatively long, as the charging speed
will have slowed down.
The charging warning lamp in the instrument panel
going off indicates that charging is complete.
F Disconnect the charging cable following the
instructions for use of the charging point.
F Close the socket cover, then the access
flap.
As a safety measure, the engine will
not start when the charging cable is
connected to the vehicle's socket.
In addition, any attempt to start during
charging will interrupt the procedure. It will
be necessary to disconnect and reconnect
the charging cable to the vehicle's
socket and then to begin charging again,
following the instructions for use of the
charging point.
82
After recharging, ensure that the socket
cover and access flap are closed.
Take care to avoid allowing water or
dust to enter the socket, under its cover
or in the charging plug (risk of fire or
electrocution).
If the exterior temperature is below 0°C,
charging times may be longer.
If the exterior temperature is below -25°C,
charging may not be possible.
Immobilising the vehicle for a long
period
When your vehicle is to be immobilised
for an indeterminate period, carry out
a complete charge of the main battery
every three months (following the normal
charging procedure).
Before carrying out the charging
operation, ensure that the ancillaries
battery is not disconnected or discharged.
For more information on the ancillaries
battery, refer to the corresponding
section.

Snow chains

The snow chains must be fitted only to the rear
wheels (rear wheel drive car).
Take account of the legislation in force in
your country on the use of snow chains
and the maximum authorised speed.
Installation tips
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey,
stop the vehicle on a flat surface on the side
of the road.
F Apply the parking brake and if necessary
put wheel chocks against the wheels to
prevent your vehicle from sliding.
F Fit the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
F Move off gently and drive for a few seconds,
without exceeding 30 mph (50 km/h).
F Stop your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry surface.
