To restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it
run:
For less than 10 minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately 5 minutes.
For more than 10 minutes, to use
the equipment for approximately 30
minutes.
Let the engine run for the specified
duration to ensure that the conventional
battery charge is sufficient.
To recharge the conventional battery,
avoid repeatedly or continuously
restarting the engine.
WARNING A flat conventional battery
prevents the engine from starting. For
more information on the conventional
battery, refer to the "Jump starting"
chapter in "In case of emergency"
section.
LOAD REDUCTION MODE
This system manages the use of certain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the conventional battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the
load reduction function temporarily
deactivates certain functions, such as
the air conditioning and the heated rear
screen.
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions
permit.
WARNINGS
Never leave the engine running in
a closed space without sufficient
ventilation. Internal combustion engines
emit toxic exhaust gases such as carbon
monoxide. Danger of poisoning and
death!
In very severe wintry conditions
(temperature below -23
°
C), let the
engine run for 4 minutes before moving
off, to ensure the correct operation and
durability of the mechanical components
of your vehicle (engine and gearbox).
Never drive with the parking brake
applied. Risk of overheating and
damaging the braking system!
Never park the vehicle and never leave
the engine running on a flammable
surface (e.g. dry grass, dead leaves). The
vehicle exhaust system is very hot, even
several minutes after the engine stops.
Risk of fire!
Never drive on surfaces covered with
vegetation (e.g. tall grass, accumulated
dead leaves, crops, debris) such as
a field, a country lane overgrown with
bushes or a grassy verge. This vegetation
could come into contact with the
vehicle's exhaust system or other systems
which are very hot. Risk of fire!
Make sure you do not leave any item
in the passenger compartment which
could act like a magnifying glass under
the effect of the sun's rays and cause
a fire. Risk of fire or damage to interior
surfaces!
Never leave the vehicle unattended,
with the engine running. If you have
to leave your vehicle with the engine
running, apply the parking brake and put
the gearbox into neutral or position or
(depending on the type of gearbox).
Never leave children inside the vehicle
unsupervised.
WARNING
252) Damage to the high-voltage battery
or high voltage system can create a risk
of electric shock, overheating, or fire. If
the vehicle has been damaged or affected
by a moderate to severe crash, it must be
inspected as soon as possible by qualified
personnel. Until the technical inspection
has been carried out, the vehicle must
be stored outside at a minimum distance
of 5 metres from any structure or other
flammable objects. If the vehicle has
been damaged or affected by flood or fire,
it must not be moved at all and has to be
inspected by qualified personnel as soon
as possible.
