Practical information
105
F Check that the charging warning
lamp in the instrument panel is
on fixed.
Fast charging stops automatically
when the main battery is around 80%
charged. It is possible to attain a charge
of 100% by restarting the procedure.
However, the time taken by this
additional charge will be relatively long,
as the charging rate is reduced.
During fast charging, the vehicle's air
conditioning may start automatically,
if needed to cool the main battery. It is
therefore perfectly normal to hear the
noise of a fan running from outside the
vehicle and to see a puddle of water
form under the vehicle.
As a safety measure, the motor will
not start when the charging cable is
connected to the vehicle's socket.
Also, any attempt to start the motor
interrupts the charging procedure. It
will then be necessary to disconnect
and reconnect the charging cable to
the vehicle's socket, then to restart the
charging following the instructions for
using the charging station.
If the exterior temperature is
below 0 °C, the charging time may be
longer.
If the exterior temperature is
below -25 °C, charging may not be
possible.
If this is not the case, charging has not started;
check the operating instructions for the
charging station.
The charging warning lamp in the instrument
panel goes off when charging is complete.
F Disconnect the charging cable following
the instructions for the charging terminal.
F Close the charging socket cover and
the flap.
After charging, close the charging
socket cover and flap.
Take care to avoid the ingress of water
or dust into the socket, under its cover
or into the charging plug. Risk of fire or
electrocution.
Vehicle out of use for a long
period
When your vehicle is going to be out
of use for a long period, charge the
main battery completely every three
months (following the normal charging
procedure).
Before charging, check that the
12 V battery is not disconnected or
discharged. If this is the case, refer
to the "12 V battery" section for
reconnecting or charging the battery.
