Installation

For a standard charge

1. Using the charging cord A
   Have a special wall socket installed by a qualified professional.
2. Using the charging cord B
   The socket used to charge electric vehicles (14A / 16A charge) must be fitted by a qualified professional. Read the instruc-tions provided with this product carefully.

For occasional charging (charging cord B)

With a domestic socket (10A charge)
Have a professional check that each socket to which you intend to connect the charging cord complies with the standards and regulations in force in your country.
Please read the instructions that come with the charging cord carefully to learn about precautions you must take when using the product and the technical specifications required when fitting the socket.

Note: If in a snowy environment, remove snow from the vehicle charging area before plugging in or disconnect-ing. Snow in the socket may block the insertion of the charging cord plug.
The vehicle has a charging connection located at the front of the vehicle. Avoid charging and parking your ve-hicle in extreme temperatures (hot or cold).

Under extreme conditions, charging may take several minutes before start-ing (time required for the traction bat-tery to cool down or warm up).
When the vehicle is parked for more than seven days in temperatures below about -25°C, charging the traction bat-tery can become impossible.
When the vehicle is parked for more than three months with near zero charge, charging the battery can become impossible.
To preserve the service life of your trac-tion battery, avoid parking the vehi-cle for more than one month with high charge, especially when the weather is very hot.

In the absence of any protection against overvoltage, you are recom-mended not to charge the vehicle in stormy weather (lightning, etc). Favour charging the traction battery after driving and/or in mild tempera-tures. Otherwise, charging may take a longer period of time or even become impossible.

Recommendations

1. In high temperatures, try to park and recharge the vehicle in a shaded/covered location.
2. Charging can be performed in the rain or snow.
3. Activating the air-conditioning increases the charge duration period.

Operating fault

Impossible to charge the battery
