Snow in the socket may block the insertion of the charging cord plug.

The vehicle is equipped with two charging connections located at the front of the vehicle:

  • socket E for charging up to 11 kW;
  • socket F, in addition to socket E for fast charging.
tip

Socket F is protected by a blanking cover. Before plugging a charging cable into the socket E, make sure that the blanking cover on socket F is fitted in place.

There are also two buttons located inside the charging flap:

  • the 6 button unlocks the charging cable;
  • button 7  can be used to stop the charging programme (if previously configured) in order to start charging the vehicle immediately.

Precautions

For daily use, it is recommended that you charge your vehicle to 80% to improve the battery service life.

Avoid charging and parking your vehicle in extreme temperatures (hot or cold).

Under extreme conditions, charging may take several minutes before starting (time required for the traction battery to cool down or warm up).

When the vehicle is parked for more than seven days in temperatures below approximately -25°C, charging the traction battery can become impossible.

If the vehicle is parked for more than three months with near zero charge, it may become impossible to charge the battery.

The energy level available depends on the battery temperature. It may therefore vary between stopping and restarting the vehicle if the battery is cold or warm.

To preserve the service life of your traction battery, avoid parking the vehicle for more than one month with high charge, especially when the weather is very hot.

Favour charging the traction battery after driving and/or in mild temperatures. Otherwise, charging may take a longer period of time or even become impossible.

It is preferable to recharge the vehicle after driving if the charge level is low (<25%) and in negative temperatures.

Advice

  • In high temperatures, try to park and recharge the vehicle in a shaded/sheltered location;
  • charging can be performed in the rain or snow;
  • activating the air-conditioning increases the charging time required.
