TRIP COMPUTER: general information

(1/2)

Trip computer and warning

system A

Depending on the vehicle, this includes

the following functions:
– distance travelled;
– journey parameters;
– information messages;
– operating fault messages (associ-

ated with the

warning light);

– warning messages (connected to the

warning light).

All these functions are described on the

following pages.

a) Total mileage and trip mileage re-

corder;

b) journey parameters:

–

Total energy consumption since

the last reset;

–

average energy consumption;

–

current energy consumption;

–

Total energy consumption since

the vehicle first entered into serv-

ice;

– estimated range;

– distance travelled;

– average speed.

c) mileage before service;
d) cruise control and speed limiter pro-

grammed speed;

e) trip log, operating faults and informa-

tion message readout.

Display selection keys 1

and 2

Scroll through the following informa-

tion upwards (button 1) or downwards

(button 2) by pressing briefly and suc-

cessively (the display depends on the

vehicle equipment and country).

1.69

Trip mileage resetting

With “trip mileage recorder” selected on

the display, press button 1 or 2 until the

mileage recorder resets to zero.

Resetting the journey

parameters (reset button)

With one of the journey parameters se-

lected on the display, press button 1

or 2 until the display resets.

Interpreting some of the

values displayed after

resetting

Average energy consumption and

speed are all the more stable and reli-

able as the distance travelled from the

last reset is great.
The estimated range displayed after

reset may not be indicative of your true

range (which depends on your driv-

ing style): this is because the on-board

computer is programmed with a prede-

fined consumption over an average of

around 18 miles (30 km). This is gradu-

ally replaced by your true consumption

as the travel distance increases: the

display will be all the more stable and

reliable as the distance travelled since

the last reset is great.

TRIP COMPUTER: general information

(2/2)

Automatic resetting of the

journey parameters

Resetting occurs automatically when

the maximum value of any of the pa-

rameters is exceeded.

Resetting the estimated

range

Press and hold one of the buttons 1

or 2. Estimated range is calculated in

proportion to the traction battery charge

level (65 miles for a complete charge).

Reading energy consumption

values

Some vehicle equipment items con-

sume energy: the energy consumed

by the vehicle may therefore differ from

the energy consumed on the electric

counter.

TRIP COMPUTER AND WARNING SYSTEM: warning message

1.77

With the ignition on, the time and, de-

pending on the vehicle, exterior tem-

perature are displayed.

Setting the time

Resetting the clock A

(depending on vehicle)
Display the “Clock” page on the instru-

ment panel by pressing one of the but-

tons on stalk 1.

CLOCK AND EXTERIOR TEMPERATURE

Exterior temperature

indicator
As ice formation is related

to climatic exposure, local

air humidity and temperature, the

external temperature alone is not

sufficient to detect ice.

If the electrical supply is cut (battery

disconnected, broken supply wire,

etc.), the clock will lose its time set-

ting. The time must then be set.

For safety reasons, carry

out any adjustments when

the vehicle is not being

driven.

After two seconds, the hours and min-

utes start flashing.
Press and hold the bottom button to

enter the hour setting mode.
When only the hours flash, press the

top button to scroll through them.
Press and hold the bottom button to

enter the minute setting mode.
When only the minutes flash, press the

top button to scroll through them.
Confirm by pressing and holding the

bottom button on stalk 1.

Vehicles equipped with a navigation

system, radio, etc.
Refer to the equipment instructions for

the special features.

Exterior temperature

On equipped vehicles, the exterior tem-

perature is displayed at A. If it is be-

tween -3°C and +3°C, the °C charac-

ters flash (signalling a risk of ice).

1.78

Hazard warning lights

Pressing switch 3 illuminates

all four direction indicators and the

side-mounted indicator lights simul-

taneously. It must only be used in an

emergency to warn other drivers that

you have had to stop in an area where

stopping is prohibited or unexpected, or

that you are obliged to drive under spe-

cial conditions.
Depending on the vehicle, the hazard

warning lights may come on automati-

cally under heavy deceleration. You can

switch them off by pressing switch 3.

Direction indicators

Move stalk 1 parallel to the steering

wheel and in the direction you are going

to turn.
When driving on the motorway, the

steering wheel is not often turned

enough to return the stalk automatically

to 0. There is an intermediate position

in which the switch may be held when

changing lanes.
When the stalk is released, it automati-

cally returns to 0.

Horn

Press one of points 2.

Headlight flasher

Pull stalk 1 towards you to flash the

headlights.

AUDIBLE AND VISUAL SIGNALS

PEDESTRIAN HORN

Electric vehicles are particularly quiet.

This system enables you to warn

people of your presence – especially

pedestrians and cyclists.
The system is activated automatically

when the engine is started. The sound

triggers when the vehicle speed is be-

tween 1 and 20 mph (1 and 30 km/h).

off when the engine is stopped, the

driver’s door is opened or, depend-

ing on the vehicle, when the vehicle

is locked. In this case, the next time

the engine is started the lights will be

switched back on according to the

position of the ring 2.
