Handling mode
This is obtained :
−
automatically on starting for your safety
(see paragraph on Starting, page 13).
−
on request, in alternation with normal mode by pressing the drive button
(START)
when the vehicle is
at a standstill. This functioning mode limits speed to approximately 7km/h-4 miles/h maximum when
turning the throttle grip. This will enable you to push and manoeuvre your vehicle in complete safety.
Driving
This vehicle has 2 modes of functioning :
−
Economy mode
- speed is reduced and consequently autonomy is increased
(up to 60km-37miles).
Press the V button followed by button 1 on the key pad, the E tell tale comes on
.
−
Normal mode
- maximum speed is 45km/h-28 miles/h and autonomy corresponds to approximately
1 hour's driving.
Press the V button followed by button 2 on the key pad, the E
tell tale goes out.
Note 1
:
Once the warning light F
starts to flash, this means that 20% of the energy remains. It is therefore
recommended
(in order to increase autonomy)
to change into economy mode by pressing the V key
followed by key n°.1. Charge the vehicle as soon as possible, otherwise vehicle performance will decrease
until eventually it comes to a standstill. The warning light H
will come on showing that the battery is
completely discharged.
Note 2
:
If the warning light H
flashes slowly :
−
temporary fault detected by the ECU which could lead to an automatic reduction in speed.
−
you can continue to drive at reduced speed.
If the warning light H
stays on :
−
permanent fault
Contact your dealer.
Parking
Switch off the vehicle
(turn the key to the OFF position).
This stops the vehicle's electric functions and automatically activates the anti start code.
This is signalled by a rapid flashing of the warning lights
during 5 seconds.
(If the warning
lights do not flash, see your dealer).
The vehicle will only restart after switching on again and once the confidential code number has been
keyed in (see paragraph on starting (page 13).
Note:
If you forget to switch off the vehicle, the electronic control unit will cut off all electric supply after 5
minutes.
In this case, to restart the vehicle, turn the key to the OFF position and turn back on after 2 seconds by
turning the key to the ON position.
