ELECTRIC VEHICLE: introduction (2/5)

Electric vehicles have special features, but operate in a similar manner to conventional vehicles.

The main difference in electric vehicles is the exclusive use of electric energy instead of fuel, as used in conventional vehicles.

We therefore recommend that you read these instructions describing your electric vehicle carefully.

Connected services

(depending on vehicle)

Your electric vehicle has connected services which enable it to determine the charge status, among other things, using mobile phones 7 or your computer 8. This information is also available directly on the instrument panel 6 of your vehicle.

For further information, please contact an authorised dealer.

You can subscribe to a connected service or extend it at any time by consulting an authorised dealer.

ELECTRIC VEHICLE: introduction (3/5)

Batteries

Your electric vehicle has two types of battery:

  • a 400V traction battery;
  • a standard 12V battery, identical to the one used in conventional vehicles.

400 V traction battery

This battery stores the energy necessary to operate the motor in your electric vehicle properly. As with any battery, it discharges after use, and must be regularly recharged.

You do not have to wait until the traction battery hits the reserve level in order to recharge it.

Charging times vary between 10 and 12 hours from a domestic power supply, or 6 to 9 hours with a special wall socket or public terminal.

Your vehicle range will depend on the charge level of the traction battery, and also on your driving style.

Please refer to information on "Vehicle range: recommendations" in Section 2.

12 volt battery

The second battery on your vehicle is a 12 V battery, similar to those used on conventional vehicles: this supplies the energy required to operate vehicle equipment (lights, washer/wipers, audio system, etc).

ELECTRIC VEHICLE: introduction (4/5)

AWarning sign depicting a lightning bolt symbol in a triangular hazard symbol

The A symbol denotes the electrical elements of your vehicle which may present health risks.

400 volt electrical circuit The 400V electrical circuit is denoted by orange cables 4 and parts bearing the △ symbol.

RENAULT Fluence Z.E. (2011) - ELECTRIC VEHICLE: introduction (4/5) - 2

The vehicle drive system in an electric vehicle uses an alternating voltage of approximately 400 volts. This

The system can get hot during and after switching off the ignition. Respect warning messages given on the labels in the vehicle.

All interventions or modifications to the 400V electrical system (components, cables, connectors, traction battery) are strictly prohibited due to the risks they present to your safety. Please contact an authorised dealer.

The risk of serious burns or electric shocks can lead to death.

ELECTRIC VEHICLE: introduction (5/5)

Driving

As with a car with an automatic gearbox, you will have to get used to not using your left foot, and not using this foot to brake.

When driving, if you lift your foot off the accelerator pedal or depress the brake pedal, the motor generates electrical current during deceleration, and this energy is used to brake the vehicle and recharge the traction battery. Please refer to the information on the "Charge meter" in Section 2.

An electric motor generates a greater engine brake than in a petrol or diesel engine vehicle.

Special conditions

After a maximum charge of the battery and during the first few miles of using the vehicle, the engine brake will be temporarily reduced. Please adapt your driving style appropriately.

RENAULT Fluence Z.E. (2011) - Special conditions - 1

The engine brake should under no circumstances be used as a substitute for the brake pedal.

Bad weather, flooded roads:

RENAULT Fluence Z.E. (2011) - Special conditions - 2

Do not drive through floods if the depth of water is above the lower edge of the wheel rims.

RENAULT Fluence Z.E. (2011) - Special conditions - 3

Obstructions to the driver. On the driver's side, only use mats suitable for the vehicle, attached with the d components, and checking regularly. Do not lay one top of another.

There is a risk of wedging the pedals

Noise

Electric vehicles are particularly quiet. You may not yet be used to it, and neither will other road users. It is difficult for them to hear the vehicle when it is moving. We recommend that you take this into account, especially when driving in urban environments and when performing manoeuvres.

As the motor is silent, you will hear noises that you are not used to hearing (aerodynamic noises, tyre noise, etc.)

When charging, the vehicle may emit noises (fan, relays, etc).

RENAULT Fluence Z.E. (2011) - Noise - 1

Your electric vehicle is very quiet. When getting out of the vehicle, always check that the gear selector is

at P, engage the handbrake and switch off the ignition.

For safety reasons, carry out any adjustments when the vehicle is not being driven.

We would advise you not to recline the seatbacks too far to ensure that the effectiveness of the seat belts is not reduced.

No object should be placed on the floor (in front of the driver). Nothing should be placed around the driver's feet as such objects may slide under the pedals during sudden braking manoeuvres and obstruct their use.

SEAT BELTS (1/3)

Always wear your seat belt when travelling in your vehicle. You must also comply with the legislation of the particular country you are in.

RENAULT Fluence Z.E. (2011) - SEAT BELTS (1/3) - 1

Incorrectly adjusted or twisted seat belts may cause injuries in the event of an accident.

Use one seat belt per person, whether child or adult.

Even pregnant women should wear a seat belt. In this case, ensure that the lap belt is not exerting too much pressure on the abdomen, but do not allow any slack.

Before starting, first adjust your driving position, then ask all occupants to adjust their seat belts to ensure optimum protection.

Adjusting your driving position

- Sit well back in your seat (having removed your coat or jacket etc.). This is essential to ensure your back is positioned correctly;

- adjust the distance between the seat and the pedals. Your seat should be as far back as possible while still allowing you to fully depress the pedals. The seatback should be adjusted so that your arms are slightly bent when you hold the steering wheel;

- adjust the position of your head-rest. For maximum safety, your head must be as close as possible to the headrest;

- Adjust the height of the seat. This adjustment allows you to select the seat position which offers you the best possible view.

- adjust the position of the steering wheel.

  • No modification may be made to the component parts of the originally fitted restraint system: belts, seats and their mountings. For special operations (e.g. fitting child seats) contact an authorised dealer.
  • Do not use devices which allow any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too loosely may cause injury in the event of an accident.
  • Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.
  • Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby or child on your lap with your seat belt around them.
  • The belt should never be twisted.
  • Following an accident, have the seat belts checked and replaced if necessary. Always replace your seat belts as soon as they show any signs of wear.
  • Make sure that the buckle is inserted into the appropriate catch.
  • Ensure that no objects are placed in the area around the seat belt catch as they could prevent it from being properly secured.
  • Make sure the seat belt catch is properly positioned (it should not be hidden away, crushed or flattened by people or objects).

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (1/4)

Depending on the vehicle, they are composed of:

  • seat belt inertia reel pretensioners;
  • lap belt pretensioners;
  • chest-level load limiters;
  • front airbags for driver and front passenger.

These systems are designed to act independently or together when the vehicle is subjected to a frontal impact.

Depending on the severity of the impact, the system can trigger:

  • seat belt locking;
  • the seat belt inertia reel pretensioner (which engages to correct seat belt slack); – the low volume front air bag; – the lap seat belt pretensioners to hold the occupant in his seat; – the large volume front air bag.

Technical illustration of a mechanical device with labeled parts (1 and 2), no readable text or symbols present.

Pretensioners

The pretensioners hold the seat belt against the body, holding the occupant more securely against the seat, thus increasing the seat belt's efficiency.

In the event of a severe frontal impact and if the ignition is switched on, the system may engage the following depending on the force of the impact:

  • seat belt inertia reel pretensioner 1 which instantly retracts the seat belt;
  • the lap pretensioner 2 on the front seats.

RENAULT Fluence Z.E. (2011) - Pretensioners - 1

- Have the entire restraint system checked following an accident.

- No operation whatsoever is permitted on any part of the system (pretensioners, air bags, computers, wiring) and the system components must not be reused on any other vehicle, even if identical.

  • To avoid incorrect triggering of the system which may cause injury, only qualified personnel from an approved dealer may work on the pretensioner and air bag system.
  • The electric trigger system may only be tested by a specially trained technician using special equipment.
  • When the vehicle is scrapped, contact an approved dealer for disposal of the pretensioner and air bag gas generators.

Load limiter

Above a certain severity of impact, this mechanism is used to limit the force of the belt against the body so that it is at an acceptable level.

Air bags for driver and front passenger

Fitted to the driver and passenger side.

Depending on the vehicle, the presence of this equipment is indicated by the word "Airbag" on the steering wheel, dashboard (air bag zone A) and a symbol on the lower section of the windscreen.

Each air bag system consists of:

  • an air bag and gas generator fitted on the steering wheel for the driver and in the dashboard for the front passenger;
  • an electronic unit for system monitoring which controls the gas generator electrical trigger system;
  • remote sensors;
  • a single warning light on the instrument panel.

The air bag system uses pyrotechnic principles. This explains why, when the air bag inflates, it will gener-

may generate heat, produce smoke (this does not necessarily indicate that a fire is about to start), and make a noise upon detonation. In a situation where an air bag is required, it will inflate immediately, which may cause minor, superficial abrasions to the skin or other issues.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/4)

3D rendered mechanical component with internal structure and three progressive close-up views (no text or symbols).

Operation

This system is only operational when the ignition is switched on.

In a severe frontal impact, the air bags inflate rapidly, cushioning the impact of the driver's head and chest against the steering wheel and the front passenger against the dashboard. The air bags then deflate immediately so that the passengers are not in any way hindered from leaving the vehicle.

Special feature of the front air bag

After a violent impact, it has two deployment volumes and integrates a ventilation system:

– small volume air bag, this is the first stage of operation; – large volume air bag, the air bag seams rip so that a larger volume of gas is released into the bag (for the most severe impacts).

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (4/4)

All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and also to prevent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the air bag inflates.

RENAULT Fluence Z.E. (2011) - METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (4/4) - 1

Warnings concerning the driver's air bag

  • Do not modify the steering wheel or the steering wheel boss.
  • Do not cover the steering wheel boss under any circumstances.
  • Do not attach any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the steering wheel boss.
  • The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnel from our Network).
  • When driving, do not sit too close to the steering wheel. Sit with your arms slightly bent (see the information on "Adjusting your driving position" in Section 1). This will allow sufficient space for the air bag to deploy correctly and be fully effective.

Warnings concerning the passenger air bag

  • Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the dashboard on or near the air bag.
  • Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passenger (pet, umbrella, walking stick, parcels, etc.).
  • The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard or seat as there is a risk that serious injuries may occur. In general, parts of the body should be kept away from the dashboard (knees, hands, head, etc.).
  • The devices in addition to the front passenger seat belt should be reactivated as soon as a child seat is removed, to ensure the protection of the passenger in the event of an impact.

A REAR-FACING CHILD SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNLESS THE ADDITIONAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS, I.E. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, ARE DEACTIVATED.

- No operation whatsoever is permitted on any part of the system (air bags, electronic control units, wiring) and the system components must not be reused on any other vehicle, even if identical.

- Only qualified personnel from our Network may work on the air bags; otherwise the system may trigger accidentally and cause injury.

SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES

Side air bags

These air bags are fitted to the front seats and are activated at the sides of the seats (door side) to protect the occupants in the event of a severe side impact.

Curtain air bags

These are air bags fitted along the sides of the vehicle in the ceiling which trigger along the front and rear side windows to protect the passengers in case of a severe side impact.

Depending on the vehicle, a marking on the windscreen informs you of the presence of additional means of restraint (airbags, pretensioners, etc.) in the passenger compartment.

RENAULT Fluence Z.E. (2011) - Curtain air bags - 1

Warnings concerning the side air bag

- Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an air bag require covers specifically designed for your vehicle. Contact an approved Dealer to find out if these covers are available. The use of any covers other than those signed for your vehicle (and including those designed for another vehicle) affect the operation of the air bags and reduce your protection.

  • Do not place any accessories, objects or even pets between the seatback, the door and the internal fittings. Do not cover the seatback with any items such as clothes or accessories. This may prevent the air bag from operating correctly or cause injury when the air bag is deployed.
  • No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the seat or internal fittings, except by qualified personnel from an approved dealer.
  • The area between the rear bench seatback and the trim is the area of air bag operation: no objects must be placed here.

ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT

All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and also to prevent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the air bag inflates.

RENAULT Fluence Z.E. (2011) - ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT - 1

The air bag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the air bags and seat belts are integral parts of the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear seat belts at all times. If seat belts are not worn, the occupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. It may also increase the risk of minor superficial injuries occurring when the air bag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always possible with air bags.

If the vehicle should overturn or suffer a rear impact, however severe, the pretensioners and air bags are not always triggered. Shocks to the underbody of the vehicle, e.g. from pavements, potholes or stones, can all trigger these systems.

  • No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the air bag system (air bags, pretensioners, computer, wiring harness, etc.), except by qualified personnel from an approved dealer.
  • To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental triggering of the system which may cause injury, only qualified Network personnel may work on the air bag system.
  • As a safety precaution, have the air bag system checked if your vehicle has been involved in an accident, or is stolen or broken into.
  • When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and hand over this driver's handbook with the vehicle.
  • When scrapping your vehicle, contact your approved dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s).

Power-assisted steering

The variable power-assisted steering system is equipped with an electronic control system which alters the level of assistance to suit the vehicle speed.

Steering is made easier during parking manoeuvres (for added comfort) whilst the force needed to steer increases progressively as the speed rises (for enhanced safety at high speeds).

RENAULT Fluence Z.E. (2011) - Power-assisted steering - 1

Never switch off the ignition when travelling downhill, and avoid doing so in normal driving (assistance provided).

Never leave the steering wheel on full lock when the vehicle is stationary.

With the engine switched off, or if there is a system fault, it is still possible to turn the steering wheel. The force required will be greater.

A noise may be heard when the steering wheel is moved quickly. This is normal.

CHILD SAFETY: General information (1/2)

Carrying children

Children, and adults, must be correctly seated and strapped in for all journeys. The children being carried in your vehicle are your responsibility.

A child is not a miniature adult. Children are at risk of specific injuries as their muscles and bones have not yet finished growing. The seat belt alone would not provide suitable protection. Use an approved child seat and ensure you use it correctly.

RENAULT Fluence Z.E. (2011) - Carrying children - 1

To prevent the doors being opened, use the "Child safety" device (refer to the information on "Opening the doors" in Section 1).

RENAULT Fluence Z.E. (2011) - Carrying children - 2

A collision at 30 mph (50 km/h) is the same as falling a distance of 10 metres.

Transporting a child without a restraint is the equivalent of allowing him or her to play on a fourth-floor balcony without railings.

Never travel with a child held in your arms. In the event of an accident, you will not be able to keep hold of the child, even if you yourself are wearing a seat belt.

If your vehicle has been involved in a road accident, replace the child seat and have the seat belts and ISOFIX anchorage points checked.

RENAULT Fluence Z.E. (2011) - Carrying children - 3

Driver's responsibility when parking or stopping the vehicle

Never leave an animal, child or adult who is not self-sufficient alone on your vehicle, even for a short time.

They may pose a risk to themselves or to others by starting the engine, activating equipment such as the electric windows or by locking the doors.

Also, in hot and/or sunny weather, please remember that the temperature inside the passenger compartment increases very quickly.

RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

CHILD SAFETY: General information (2/2)

Using a child seat

The level of protection offered by the child seat depends on its ability to restrain your child and on its installation. Incorrect installation compromises the protection it offers the child in the event of harsh braking or an impact.

Before purchasing a child seat, check that it complies with the regulations for the country you are in and that it can be fitted in your vehicle. Consult an approved dealer to find out which seats are recommended for your vehicle.

Before fitting a child seat, read the manual and respect its instructions. If you experience any difficulties during installation, contact the manufacturer of the equipment. Keep the instructions with the seat.

Set a good example by always fastening your seat belt and teaching your child:

– to strap themselves in correctly; - to always get in and out of the car at the kerb, away from busy traffic.

Do not use a second-hand child seat or one without an instruction manual.

Check that there are no objects in the vicinity of the child seat which could impede its operation.

RENAULT Fluence Z.E. (2011) - Using a child seat - 1

Never leave a child unattended in the vehicle.

Check that your child is always strapped in and that

the belt or safety harness used is correctly set and adjusted. Avoid wearing bulky clothing which could cause the belts to slacken.

Never let your child put their head or arms out of the window.

Check that the child is in the correct position for the entire journey, especially if asleep.

CHILD SAFETY: choosing a child seat

Rear-facing child seats

A baby's head is, proportionally, heavier than that of an adult and its neck is very fragile. Transport the child in this position for as long as possible (until the age of 2 at the very least). It supports both the head and the neck.

Choose a bucket type seat for best side protection and change it as soon as the child's head is higher than the shell.

Illustration of a child wearing a baby seatbelt in a two-part indoor chair (no text or symbols visible).

Forward-facing child seats

The child's head and abdomen need to be protected as a priority. A forward-facing child seat which is firmly attached to the vehicle will reduce the risk of impact to the head. Ensure your child travels in a forward-facing seat with a harness or buckle for as long as their size permits. Choose a bucket type seat for optimum side protection.

Illustration of a person seated in a car seatbelt chair, no text or symbols present.

Booster cushions

From 15 kg or 4 years, the child can travel using a booster seat, which will enable the seat belt to be adapted to suit his/her size and shape. The booster seat cushion must be fitted with guides to position the seat belt on the child's thighs rather than the stomach. It is recommended that you use a seat-back fitted with a belt strap guide which can be adjusted in terms of height to position the seat belt in the centre of the shoulder. It must never rest on the neck or on the arm.

Choose a bucket type seat for optimum side protection.

CHILD SAFETY: choosing a child/baby seat mounting (1/2)

There are two ways of attaching child seats: via the seat belt or using the ISOFIX system.

Attachment via the seat belt

The seat belt must be adjusted to ensure that it is effective in the event of harsh braking or an impact.

Ensure that the strap paths indicated by the child seat manufacturer are respected.

Always check that the seat belt is correctly fastened by pulling it up, then pulling it out fully whilst pressing on the child seat.

Check that the seat is correctly held by moving it from side to side and back to front: the seat should remain firmly fixed.

Check that the child seat has not been installed at an angle and that it is not resting against a window.

RENAULT Fluence Z.E. (2011) - Attachment via the seat belt - 1

No modifications may be made to the component parts of the restraint system (ISOFIX seat belts, seats in mountings) originally fitted.

RENAULT Fluence Z.E. (2011) - Attachment via the seat belt - 2

Do not use the child seat if it may unfasten the seat belt restraining it: the base of the seat must not rest on the buckle and/or catch of the seat belt.

RENAULT Fluence Z.E. (2011) - Attachment via the seat belt - 3

The seat belt must never be twisted or the tension relieved. Never pass the shoulder strap under the behind the back.

Check that the seat belt has not been damaged by sharp edges.

If the seat belt does not operate normally, it will not protect the child.

Consult an approved dealer. Do not use this seat until the seat belt has been repaired.

Attachment using the ISOFIX system

Authorised ISOFIX child seats are approved in accordance with regulation ECE-R44 in one of the three following scenarios:

– ISOFIX universal 3-point forward-facing seat

- ISOFIX semi-universal 2-point seat - specific

For the latter two, check that your child seat can be installed by consulting the list of compatible vehicles.

Attach the child seat with the ISOFIX locks, if these are provided. The ISOFIX system allows quick, easy, safe fitting.

The ISOFIX system consists of 2 rings and, in some cases, a third ring.

RENAULT Fluence Z.E. (2011) - Attachment using the ISOFIX system - 1

Before using an ISOFIX child seat that you purchased for another vehicle, check that its installation is authorised. Consult the list of vehicles which can be fitted with the seat from the equipment manufacturer.

Check that nothing is obstructing the anchorage points.

If your vehicle has been involved in a road accident, have the ISOFIX anchorage points checked and replace your child seat.

CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat (1/4)

Some seats are not suitable for fitting child seats. The diagram on the following page shows you how to attach a child seat.

The types of child seats indicated may not be available. Before using a different child seat, check with the manufacturer that it can be fitted.

RENAULT Fluence Z.E. (2011) - CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat (1/4) - 1

Fit the child seat in a rear seat wherever possible.

Check that when installing the child seat in the vehicle

it is not at risk of coming loose from its base.

If you have to remove the headrest, check that it is correctly stored so that it does not come loose under harsh braking or impact.

Always attach the child seat to the vehicle even if it is not in use so that it does not come loose under harsh braking or impact.

In the front seat

The laws concerning children travelling in the front passenger seat differ in every country. Consult the legislation in force and follow the indications on the diagram on the following page.

Before fitting a child seat in this seat (if authorised):

- lower the seat belt as far as possible; - move the seat as far back as possible;

Gently tilt the seatback away from vertical (approximately 25°);

On equipped vehicles, raise the seat base as far as possible.

Do not change these settings after the child seat is installed.

RENAULT Fluence Z.E. (2011) - In the front seat - 1

RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY: before

installing a rear-facing child seat in this seat, check that

the airbag has been deactivated (refer to "Child safety: front passenger airbag deactivation/activation" Section 1).

In the rear side seat

A carrycot can be installed across the vehicle and will take up at least two seats. Position the child with his or her feet nearest the door.

Move the front seat as far forward as possible to install a rear-facing child seat, then move back the seat in front as far as it will go, although without allowing it to come into contact with the child seat.

For the safety of the child in the forward-facing seat, do not move the seat in front back past the middle of the runner, do not tilt the seatback too far (maximum of 25°) and raise the seat as much as possible.

Check that the forward-facing child seat is resting against the back of the vehicle seat and that the headrest of the vehicle is not obstructing its use.

VEHICLE RANGE: recommendations (1/2)

The vehicle range is approved for a mixed NEDC cycle (New European Driving Cycle).

In real usage, the range of an electric vehicle may vary depending on several factors over which you have partial control, which may make a considerable difference to the vehicle range. These factors are:

– speed and driving style; - type of road; - heating level; - tyres; - vehicle loading.

Speed and driving style

High speeds will reduce your vehicle's range.

A "sporty" driving style reduces your vehicle range: opt for a "lighter" driving style.

Drive at a constant speed.

Adapt your driving to avoid excessive energy consumption. Please refer to the "Charge meter" information in Section 2.

34630 Kg

Anticipate traffic changes by lifting your foot off the accelerator pedal in order to recover energy. Please refer to the "Charge meter" information in Section 2.

Simple line drawing of a car on a slope with motion lines indicating speed (no text or symbols)

Road type

Do not try to maintain the same speed up a hill, accelerate no more than you would on the level. Keep your foot in the same position on the accelerator pedal.

VEHICLE RANGE: recommendations (2/2)

Heating levels

The use of heating or air-conditioning reduces vehicle range.

Before using the vehicle, you are recommended to favour "programmable heating" mode to help maintain the vehicle's optimum range (please refer to the information on "Air-conditioning: programming" in Section 3).

Keep your usage of heating or air-conditioning down to a minimum while driving. Favour ECO mode - please see the information on "Automatic air-conditioning" in Section 3.

33395 +

Tyres

An under-inflated tyre increases energy consumption. Comply with the specified tyre pressures for your vehicle.

When driving, use tyres made by the same manufacturer, with the same dimensions, type and structure as the original tyres. The use of non-regulation tyres significantly reduces vehicle range.

Please see the information on "Tyre pressure" in Section 4.

Vehicle loading

Avoid pointlessly overloading your vehicle.

ENVIRONMENT

Your vehicle has been designed with respect for the environment in mind for its entire service life: during production, use, and at the end of its life.

This commitment is illustrated by the manufacturer's eco 2 signature.

Manufacture

Your vehicle has been manufactured at a factory which complies with a policy to reduce the environmental impact on the surrounding areas (reduction of water and energy consumption, visual and noise pollution, atmospheric emissions and waste water; sorting and reusing waste).

Emissions

Your vehicle has been designed to emit fewer greenhouse gases (CO2) while in use, and therefore to consume less fuel (e.g., 140 g/km, equivalent to 5.3 l/100 km for a diesel vehicle).

Our vehicles are also equipped with a particle filter system including a catalytic converter, an oxygen sensor, and an active carbon filter (the latter prevents vapour from the fuel tank being released into the open air).

For certain diesel vehicles, this system also has a particle filter to reduce the volume of soot particles emitted.

Please make your own contribution towards protecting the environment too.

- Worn parts replaced in the course of routine vehicle maintenance (vehicle battery, oil filter, air filter, batteries, etc.) and oil containers (empty or filled with used oil) must be disposed of through specialist organisations.

  • At the end of the vehicle's service life, it should be sent to approved centres to ensure that it is recycled. – In all cases, comply with local legislation.

Recycling

Your vehicle is 85% recyclable and 95% recoverable.

To achieve these objectives, many of the vehicle components have been designed to enable them to be recycled. The materials and structures have been carefully designed to allow these components to be easily removed and reprocessed by specialist companies.

In order to preserve raw material resources, this vehicle incorporates numerous parts made from recycled plastics or renewable materials (vegetable or animal-derived materials such as cotton or wool).

CHARGE METER33479 A B C D k W

The traction battery supplies the electrical energy required for the motor to move the vehicle.

When you lift your foot off the accelerator pedal, the motor generates electrical current during deceleration, and this energy is used to recharge the traction battery.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (1/4)

These include:

  • the ABS (anti-lock braking system);
  • the electronic stability program ESP with understeer control and traction control ASR; – emergency brake assist with, depending on the vehicle, braking anticipation.

RENAULT Fluence Z.E. (2011) - DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (1/4) - 1

These functions are an additional aid in the event of critical driving conditions, enabling the vehicle behaviour to be adapted to suit the driving conditions.

However, the functions do not take the place of the driver. They do not increase the vehicle's limits and should not encourage you to drive more quickly. Therefore, they can under no circumstances replace the vigilance or responsibility of the driver when manoeuvring the vehicle (the driver must always be ready for sudden incidents which may occur when driving).

ABS (anti-lock braking system)

Under heavy braking, the ABS prevents the wheels from locking, allowing the stopping distance to be managed and keeping control of the vehicle.

Under these circumstances, the vehicle can be steered to avoid an obstacle whilst braking. In addition, this system can increase stopping distances, particularly on roads with low surface grip (wet ground etc.).

You will feel a pulsation through the brake pedal each time the system is activated. The ABS does not in any way improve the vehicle's physical performance relating to the road surface and roadholding. It is still essential to follow the rules of good driving practice (such as driving at a safe distance from the vehicle in front etc.).

In an emergency, apply firm and continuous pressure to the brake pedal. There is no need to pump it repeatedly. The ABS will modulate the force applied in the braking system.

Operating faults:

- and (ABS) lit up on the instrument panel alongside, depending on the vehicle, messages "Check ABS", "Check braking system" and "Check ESP": ABS, ESP and emergency brake assist are deactivated. Braking is always enabled;

- (ABS), (!), and STOP lit up on the instrument panel alongside the message "Braking system fault": this indicates a fault in the braking system.

In both cases, consult an approved Dealer.

RENAULT Fluence Z.E. (2011) - Operating faults: - 1

Your braking systems are partially operational. However, it is dangerous to brake suddenly and

it is essential to stop immediately, as soon as traffic conditions allow. Contact an approved dealer.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (2/4)

Electronic stability program ESP with understeer control and traction control ASR

Electronic stability program ESP

This system helps you to keep control of the vehicle in critical driving conditions (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip on a bend, etc.).

Operating principle

A sensor in the steering wheel detects the direction selected by the driver.

Other sensors throughout the vehicle measure the actual direction.

The system compares driver input to the actual trajectory of the vehicle and corrects the trajectory if necessary by controlling the braking of certain wheels and/or engine power. In the event that the system is engaged, indicator light

RENAULT Fluence Z.E. (2011) - Operating principle - 1

flashes on the instrument panel.

Understeer control

This system optimises the action of the ESP in the case of pronounced understeering (loss of front axle road holding).

Traction control ASR

This system helps to limit wheelspin of the drive wheels and to control the vehicle when pulling away, accelerating, or decelerating.

Operating principle

Using the wheel sensors, the system measures and compares the speed of the drive wheels at all times and slows down their over-rotation. If a wheel is starting to slip, the system brakes automatically until the drive supplied becomes compatible with the level of grip under the wheel again.

Operating faults

When the system detects an operating fault, the message "Check ESP" and warning light appear on the instrument panel. In this case, the ESP and ASR are deactivated.

Consult an approved dealer.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (3/4)

Interior view of a car air intake console with labeled component (1), no visible text or symbols beyond the number and label

Disabling the ASR function

In some situations (driving on very wet ground: snow, mud, etc., or driving with snow chains fitted), the system may reduce the engine output to limit wheel-spin. If this is not required, it is possible to deactivate the function by pressing switch 1.

The message "Traction control off" is displayed on the instrument panel to inform you.

The traction control ASR offers additional safety; it is recommended that you do not drive with the function disabled. Correct this as soon as possible by pressing switch 1 again.

NB: the function is reactivated automatically when the ignition is switched on or when a speed of approximately 24 mph (40 km/h) is exceeded.

Emergency brake assist

This system supplements the ABS and helps reduce vehicle stopping distances.

Operating principle

The system is for detecting an emergency braking situation. In this case, the braking assistance immediately develops maximum power and may trigger ABS regulation.

ABS braking is maintained as long as the brake pedal is applied.

Hazard warning lights switching on: These may light up in the event of rapid deceleration.

Operating faults

When the system detects an operating fault, the message "Check braking system" appears on the instrument panel along with the warning light.

Consult an approved dealer.

Braking anticipation

Depending on the vehicle, when you rapidly release the accelerator, the system anticipates the braking manoeuvre in order to reduce stopping distances.

Special cases

When using the cruise control:

  • if you use the accelerator, when you release it, the system may be triggered;
  • if you do not use the accelerator, the system will not be triggered.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (4/4)

Hill start assistance

This function assists the driver when starting on hills. It prevents the vehicle from rolling backwards, depending on the slope, by automatically applying the brakes when the driver lifts his/her foot off the brake pedal to depress the accelerator pedal.

System operation

It only operates when the gear lever is in a position other than neutral (other than N or P) and the vehicle is completely stationary (brake pedal depressed).

The system holds the vehicle for approximately 2 seconds. The brakes are then gradually released (the vehicle will move according to the slope).

RENAULT Fluence Z.E. (2011) - System operation - 1

The hill start assistance system cannot completely prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards in all situations (extremely steep gradients, etc.).

In all cases, the driver may depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards.

In all cases, the driver may depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards.

The hill start assistance function should not be used for prolonged stops: use the brake pedal.

This function is not designed to immobilise the vehicle permanently.

If necessary, use the brake pedal to stop the vehicle.

The driver must remain particularly vigilant when driving on slippery or low-grip surfaces and/or on hills.

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/2)

Operating principle

Ultrasonic detectors fitted in the vehicle's rear bumper measure the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing.

When reversing, most objects located less than approximately 1.5 metres away from the rear of the vehicle are detected and a beep is emitted.

This measurement is indicated by beeps which become more frequent the closer you come to the obstacle, until they become a continuous beep when the vehicle is approximately 25 centimetres from the obstacle.

Two cars with motion blur effect, no visible text or symbols

Automatic activation/deactivation of the rear parking distance control The system deactivates:

  • when the handbrake is engaged;
  • when the vehicle speed is above approximately 4 mph (7 km/h);
  • when the vehicle is stationary for more than approximately five seconds and an obstacle is detected (such as when in a traffic jam etc.);
  • when you are in positions N and P.

RENAULT Fluence Z.E. (2011) - Operating principle - 2

This function is an additional aid that indicates the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing, using sound signals.

Under no circumstances should it replace the driver's care or responsibility whilst reversing.

The driver should always look out for sudden hazards during driving: always ensure that there are no moving obstacles (such as a child, animal, pram or bicycle, etc.) or small, narrow objects such as stones or posts in your path when manoeuvring.

RENAULT Fluence Z.E. (2011) - Operating principle - 3

In the event an impact to the underside of the vehicle (e.g.: striking a post, raised kerb or other street furniture) this may result in damage to the vehicle (e.g.: twisted axle), the electrical circuit or the traction battery.

To avoid any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an approved dealer.

Automatic mode

The automatic climate control system guarantees comfort in the passenger compartment and good visibility (except in the event of extreme conditions), whilst optimising consumption. The system controls the ventilation speed, air distribution, air recirculation, and starting and stopping the air conditioning and air temperature. This mode consists of a choice of three programmes:

ECO: Limits the electricity consumption of the air-conditioning system to optimise vehicle range. The temperature is too low - Press button 2. This mode sets the passenger temperature control as the driver's temperature control.

AUTO: allows the selected comfort level to be best attained, depending on the exterior conditions. Press button 3.

FAST : emphasises the actions of the system to reach the desired comfort level more quickly. Press button 4.

In this situation, the distribution of air in the passenger compartment, which is no longer automatically controlled, appears on the display.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (5/5)

Recycling

This function is controlled automatically, but it can also be activated manually.

NB:

– during recirculation, air is taken from the passenger compartment and is recycled, with no air being taken from outside the vehicle; – air recirculation allows the external atmosphere to be cut off (when driving in polluted areas, etc.); – lowering the passenger compartment temperature as quickly as possible.

AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use.

Advice on use

In some situations, (air conditioning off, air recirculation activated, ventilation speed at zero or low, etc.) you may notice that condensation starts to form on the windows and windscreen.

If there is condensation, use the "Clear View" function to remove it, then use the air conditioning in automatic mode to stop it forming again. If the condensation does not clear, use the FAST programme.

Range

It is normal to notice an increase in energy usage when the air conditioning is operating.

Recommendations for reducing consumption and therefore helping to preserve the environment:

Drive with the air vents open and the windows closed.

If the vehicle has been parked in the sun, open the doors for a few moments to let the hot air escape before starting the engine.

Maintenance

Refer to the Maintenance Document for your vehicle for the inspection frequency.

Operating faults

As a general rule, contact your approved dealer in the event of an operating fault.

- Reduction in de-icing, demisting or air conditioning performance. This may be caused by the passenger compartment filter cartridge becoming clogged.

- No cold air is being produced. Check that the controls are set correctly and that the fuses are sound. Otherwise, switch off the system.

Presence of water under the vehicle.

After prolonged use of the air conditioning system, it is normal for water to be present under the vehicle. This is caused by condensation.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (1/2)

A well-maintained vehicle will last longer. It is therefore recommended to maintain the exterior of the vehicle regularly.

Your vehicle has been treated with very effective anti-corrosion products. It is nevertheless subject to various outside influences.

Corrosive agents in the atmosphere

– atmospheric pollution (built-up and industrial areas), – saline atmospheres (near the sea, particularly in hot weather), - seasonal and damp weather conditions (e.g. road salt in winter, water from road cleaners, etc.).

Minor impacts

Abrasive action

Dust and sand in the air, mud, road grit thrown up by other vehicles, etc.

You should take a number of minor precautions in order to safeguard your vehicle against such risks.

What you should not do

Do not degrease or clean mechanical components (e.g. the engine compartment), underneath the body, parts with hinges (e.g. inside the doors) and painted plastic external fittings (e.g. bumpers) using high-pressure cleaning equipment or by spraying on products not approved by our Technical Department. Doing this could give rise to corrosion or operational faults.

Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or freezing temperatures.

Do not scrape off mud or dirt without pre-wetting.

Allow dirt to accumulate on the exterior.

Allow rust to form following minor impacts.

Do not use solvents not approved by our Technical Department to remove stains as this could damage the paint-work.

Do not drive in snow or muddy conditions without washing the vehicle, particularly under the wheel arches and body.

You should

Wash your car frequently, with the engine off, using cleaning products recommended by the manufacturer (never use abrasive products). Rinse thoroughly beforehand with a jet:

  • spots of tree resin and industrial grime;
  • mud in the wheel arches and underneath the body which forms damp patches;
  • bird droppings, which cause a chemical reaction with the paint that rapidly discolours paintwork and may even cause the paint to peel off;

wash the vehicle immediately to remove these marks since it is impossible to remove them by polishing;

- salt, particularly in the wheel arches and underneath the body after driving in areas where the roads have been gritted.

Remove vegetable matter (resin, film, etc.) from the vehicle regularly.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (2/2)

Observe the vehicle stopping distances when driving on gravelled surfaces to prevent paint damage.

Repair, or have repaired quickly, areas where the paint has been damaged, to prevent corrosion spreading.

Remember to visit the body shop periodically in order to maintain your anti-corrosion warranty. Refer to the Maintenance Document.

Respect local regulations about washing vehicles (e.g., do not wash your vehicle on a public highway).

If it is necessary to clean mechanical components, hinges, etc., spray them with products approved by our Technical Department to protect them after they have been cleaned.

We have selected special products to care for your vehicle and you can obtain these from the manufacturer's accessory outlets.

Using a roller type car wash

Return the windscreen wiper stalk to the Park position (refer to the information on the "Windscreen washer, wiper" in Section 1). Check the mounting of external accessories, additional lights and mirrors, and ensure that the wiper blades are secured with adhesive tape. Remove the radio aerial mast if your vehicle is fitted with this equipment. Remember to remove the tape and refit the antenna after washing.

RENAULT Fluence Z.E. (2011) - Using a roller type car wash - 1

Washing the vehicle

Never wash the engine compartment, the charging connection or the traction with a high-pressure jet.

This risks damaging the electric circuit.

Never wash the vehicle while it is charging.

Risk of electric shock and a risk to life.

Cleaning the headlights

As the headlights are made of plastic "glass", use a soft cloth or cotton wool to clean them. If this does not clean them properly, moisten the cloth with soapy water, then wipe clean with a soft damp cloth or cotton wool.

Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry cloth.

Cleaning products containing alcohol must not be used.

Vehicles with a matte paint finish

This type of paint requires certain precautions.

Do not do the following

— use wax-based products (polishing);

- rub too hard;

- wash the vehicle in a roller-type car wash;

- wash the vehicle using a high-pressure device;

- attach stickers to the paintwork (risk of leaving marks).

You should do the following

Wash the vehicle by hand using plenty of water, using a soft cloth or a gentle sponge.

INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE (1/2)

A well-maintained vehicle will last longer. It is therefore recommended to maintain the interior of the vehicle regularly.

A stain should always be dealt with swiftly.

Whatever type of stain is on the trim, use cold (or warm) soapy water with natural soap.

Detergents (washing-up liquid, powdered products, alcohol-based products) should not be used.

Use a soft cloth.

Rinse and soak up the excess.

Glass instrument panel

(e.g. instrument panel, clock, exterior temperature display, radio display, etc.)

Use a soft cloth (or cotton wool).

If this does not clean it properly, use a soft cloth (or cotton wool) slightly moistened with soapy water and then wipe clean with a soft damp cloth or cotton wool.

Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry cloth.

Cleaning products containing alcohol must not be used under any circumstances.

Seat belts

These must be kept clean.

Use products selected by our Technical Department (Approved outlets) or warm, soapy water and a sponge and wipe with a dry cloth.

Detergents or dyes must not be used under any circumstances.

Textiles (seats, door trim, etc)

Vacuum-clean the textiles regularly.

Liquid stain

Use soapy water.

Dab lightly (never rub) with a soft cloth, rinse and remove the excess.

Solid or pasty stain

Carefully remove the excess solid or pasty material immediately with a spatula (working from the edges to the centre to avoid spreading the stain).

Clean as for a liquid stain.

Special instructions for sweets or chewing gum

Put an ice cube on the stain to solidify it, then proceed as for a solid stain.

For further recommendations for maintaining the interior, and/or for any unsatisfactory results, please see an authorised dealer.

INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE (2/2)

Removal/replacing removable equipment originally fitted in the vehicle

If you need to remove equipment in order to clean the passenger compartment (for example, mats), always ensure that they are correctly refitted and are the right way around (the driver's mat should be fitted on the driver's side, etc.) and fit them with the components supplied with the equipment (for example, the driver mat should always be fixed using the pre-fitted mounting components).

With the vehicle stationary, ensure that nothing will impede driving (anything obstructing the pedals, heel wedged by the mat, etc.).

You should not:

You are strongly advised not to position objects such as deodorants, scents, etc. near air vents, as this could damage your dashboard trim.

RENAULT Fluence Z.E. (2011) - You should not: - 1

You are strongly recommended not to use high-pressure or spray cleaning equipment inside the passenger compartment: use of such agents could impair the correct functioning of the electrical or electronic components in the vehicle, or have other detrimental effects.

Tyre and wheel safety

The tyres are the only contact between the vehicle and the road, so it is essential to keep them in good condition.

You must make sure that your tyres conform to local road traffic regulations.

RENAULT Fluence Z.E. (2011) - Tyre and wheel safety - 1

When they need to be replaced, only tyres of the same make, size, type and profile should be used.

Tyres fitted to the vehicle should either be identical to those fitted originally or conform to those recommended by your approved dealer.

Technical diagram showing a tire with labeled parts and a magnified inset highlighting a textured surface.

Maintaining the tyres

The tyres must be in good condition and the tread form must have sufficient depth; tyres approved by our Technical Department have wear warning strips 1 that are indicators moulded into the tread at several points.

When the tyre tread has been worn to the level of the wear indicators, they become visible 2: it is then necessary to replace your tyres because the tread rubber is no more than 1.6 mm deep, resulting in poor roadholding on wet roads.

An overloaded vehicle, long journeys by motorway, particularly in very hot weather, or continual driving on poorly surfaced minor roads will lead to more rapid tyre wear and affect safety.

RENAULT Fluence Z.E. (2011) - Maintaining the tyres - 1

Incidents which occur when driving, such as striking the kerb, may damage the tyres and wheel rims, and could

also lead to misalignment of the front or rear axle geometry. In this case, have the condition of these checked by an approved dealer.

TYRES (2/3)

Tyre pressures

Adhere to the tyre pressures. The tyre pressures should be checked at least once a month and additionally before any long journey (refer to the label affixed to the edge of the driver's door). Please refer to the information on "Tyre pressures" in Section 4.

RENAULT Fluence Z.E. (2011) - Tyre pressures - 1

Incorrect tyre pressures

lead to abnormal tyre wear and unusually hot running.

These are factors which

may seriously affect safety and lead to:

– poor road holding, – risk of bursting or tread separation.

The pressure depends on the load and the speed of use. Adjust the pressure according to the conditions of use (refer to the label affixed to the edge of the driver's door).

Pressures should be checked when the tyres are cold; ignore higher pressures which may be reached in hot weather or following a fast journey.

If tyre pressures cannot be checked when the tyres are cold, the normal pressures must be increased by 0.2 to 0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).

Never deflate a hot tyre.

Special note

Depending on the vehicle, there may be an adapter which needs to be positioned on the valve before air is added.

RENAULT Fluence Z.E. (2011) - Special note - 1

Please be aware that a poorly tightened or missing valve cap can make the tyres less airtight and lead to air loss.

Fitting new tyres

RENAULT Fluence Z.E. (2011) - Fitting new tyres - 1

For safety reasons, this operation must be carried out by a specialist.

Fitting different tyres may change your vehicle as follows:

  • It may mean that your vehicle no longer conforms to current regulations;
  • It may change the way it handles when cornering;
  • It may cause the steering to be heavy;
  • It may affect the use of snow chains.

TYRES (3/3)

Use in winter

Chains

For safety reasons, fitting snow chains to the rear axle is strictly forbidden.

Chains cannot be fitted to tyres which are larger than those originally fitted to the vehicle.

Snow or Winter tyres

We would recommend that these be fitted to all four wheels to ensure that your vehicle retains maximum adhesion.

Warning: These tyres sometimes have a specific direction of rotation and a maximum speed index which may be lower than the maximum speed of your vehicle.

Studded tyres

This type of equipment may only be used for a limited period and as laid down by local legislation. It is necessary to observe the speed specified by current legislation.

These tyres must, at a minimum, be fitted to the two front wheels.
