• Before connecting the vehicle to the mains supply, make sure the parking brake is applied.
• Do not lock the vehicle.
• Connect the charging cable to the electrical distribution network.
• Open flap 1 (on the front right wing).
• Insert plug 3 into its housing, aligning lugs 2 with the corresponding notches.

• Lower plug 3.

Charge gauge 5

When the needle is positioned at:

• 6 Charging is stopped.
• 7 Charging is at 10 amps.
• 8 Charging is at 16 amps.
• 9 The vehicle is in fast charging.

When charging is complete:

• If necessary, unlock the vehicle and open flap 1.
• Press button 2 while slightly lowering handle 3.
• Raise handle 3 and pull it towards you.
• Disconnect the plug from the mains supply.
• Close flap 1.

Note: when charging is complete, the green charge indicator light stays on steadily or goes out.

If you attempt to start the vehicle while the charging cable is still connected, charge indicator light 4 comes on steadily in orange.

To start the vehicle, the charging cable must be disconnected.

Tips:

• The charger operates on a 230 V / 50 Hz supply.
• Under certain conditions (battery temperature too high, etc.) charging cannot start.
  The traction system temperature warning light comes on (refer to the "Instrument panel" section in chapter 2).
• The charging cable must always be kept on board the vehicle.
• Keep the charging cable clean and make sure the cable and plugs used are in good condition.
• Your installation must have an earth connection and be capable of supplying 16 A continuously. However, the vehicle can be charged at 10 A provided the 10 A charge selector fuse is present in the fuse box.

To preserve your batteries:

• When the vehicle is connected, the fans start automatically. Make sure not to obstruct them.
• To charge the vehicle, only use a supply network that complies with the applicable domestic standard.
• A full discharge of the batteries, followed by a complete charge, must be carried out at least once a week.

If, after a full charge, the charge level indicator does not reach maximum, fully discharge the batteries (end-of-range warning light on: see the "instrument panel" section in chapter 4), then fully recharge them.
