INTRODUCTION: GENERAL INFORMATION

PLEASURE AND WELL-BEING

Treated seats: easy maintenance


WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF TEFLON COATING?

- Invisible chemical treatment that is non-stick, odourless and waterproofing: the fabric fibres are treated.
- It protects all the fibres without impairing the feel or comfort characteristics.

Waterproofing: Prevents the direct absorption of liquids and


oils: Repellent.

Easy to clean because the TEFLON minimises the


accumulation of dust and dirt.

BENEFIT TO THE CUSTOMER

Less maintenance time


Easy to clean - Makes seats more resistant to
wear

Toxicity sensor: air that is always clean


HOW DOES IT WORK?

A combined filter (particle filter + active carbon filter) filters particles (dust, pollen etc.), odours and pollutant gases (NO2,
SO2, toluene, etc.) coming from outside the passenger compartment.
When these gases are detected by the toxicity sensor, the function switches automatically into recycling mode to protect
the air inside the passenger compartment from the exterior pollutants (NO, CO, exhaust fumes).
BENEFIT TO THE CUSTOMER

60% reduction in polluted air inside and outside of the passenger compartment.

PLEASURE AND WELL-BEING

Active scent air freshener: always a pleasant atmosphere


DUAL ACTIVE SCENT AIR FRESHENER

The electric fan of the instrument panel activates the air freshener. The intensity can be set to 3 levels. The air freshener
can hold two cartridges.
AVAILABLE SCENTS

The active compound of the scents stimulates or relaxes the driver as needed.
AIR FRESHENER KIT

Each vehicle fitted with the air freshener comes with a gift pack of two cartridges (relaxing scent: Cocooning Flowers &
Calming Ylang) with plastic seal and user instructions.
AFTER-SALES

The kits contain only one cartridge.


In After Sales, the customer can choose from 8 different scents. If the air freshener is used for 1 hour a day, the
cartridge will last for approximately 3 months.
BENEFIT TO THE CUSTOMER

The scent is diffused periodically and in a


controlled manner in order to avoid headaches
and nausea. It is possible to switch between the
two scents.
For example: a relaxing scent after work, an
invigorating scent for night driving.

PLEASURE AND WELL-BEING

Ioniser: enhances well-being and comfort


HOW DOES IT WORK?

CLEAN MODE: Eliminates noxious substances (for example: viruses, harmful microbes and fungi) and generates
negative ions and hydrogen.
RELAX MODE: Generates negative ions only to create a pleasant atmosphere in the passenger compartment.
BENEFIT TO THE CUSTOMER

Better balance of positive and negative ions in the passenger compartment. This contributes to well-being and improves
mood and health.

RANGE OPTIMIZER: 3 INNOVATIONS FOR GREATER RANGE

NEW GENERATION REGENERATIVE BRAKING


The battery recharges every time the vehicle slows down, because the vehicle's kinetic energy supplies the battery.
What's new is that the battery recharges every time the driver uses the brake!
Increase in range for urban driving: 7.2 miles (12 km) on average!

HEAT PUMP
Operating independently of the electric motor, this reversible air conditioning system heats or cools the vehicle
passenger compartment by capturing calories from the air rather than depleting the battery.
This improves the vehicle range

MICHELIN ENERGY E-V TYRES


Ultra low rolling resistance.
No change in road holding or braking capacity.
Up to 3 miles (5 km) additional range on average!

ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC LAYOUT: MEGOHMMETER


-

INTRODUCTION

The megohmmeter is an active tool. It


sends out a voltage.
It is used to find insulation faults that
are not detected by a conventional
multimeter.
The megohmmeter analyses the return
current to detect a current leak (even if
extremely small).

USER INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE THE TEST

1. The test must be performed on an installation that


is WITHOUT VOLTAGE and is disconnected.
2. Ensure that the circuit is discharged.
3. Particular caution must be taken when the device
to be tested is located in a flammable or explosive
environment, because sparks could occur when
the insulation is discharged (before and after the
test), as well as during the test in the case of
faulty insulation.
4. The direct current voltages can be high, so it is
mandatory to limit the access of personnel and to
wear personal protective equipment (electrical
protective gloves).
5. It is mandatory to use the correct connecting
cables for the test and to ensure that they are in
perfect condition

USER INSTRUCTIONS AFTER THE TEST

At the end of the test, the installation has accumulated a quantity of


energy. It is very important to discharge this energy before any other
operation.

Safety rule: allow the equipment to discharge for a duration equal to


FIVE times the charging time (the time of the last test).

CONCLUSION

When using a megohmmeter, it is mandatory to:

1. Lock out the vehicle (400 volts and 12 volts).

2. Wear the personal protective equipment if the test voltage is greater than 50
volts.

BRAKING: GENERAL INFORMATION


-

REGENERATIVE BRAKING

At any moment, the sum of the setpoint of the electrical torque applied by the electric motor and transmission assembly
and the setpoint of the hydraulic torque applied by the braking is equal to the driver's demand.

Driver's braking torque


Hydraulic torque setpoint
Electric torque setpoint
Applied electric torque

At the beginning of braking, the


hydraulic braking compensates for
the time needed to apply the
electrical torque.

TRAINEE BOOKLET

SKILLS

The curve shows that the difference between


the electrical torque setpoint and the actual
electrical torque is compensated by the
hydraulic braking.

At low speed there is no electric


braking, so only hydraulic braking
is applied.

CHARGING SOCKET CONNECTION

THE CHAMELEON CHARGER

The Chameleon charger charges the traction


battery up to a power of 43 kW.
This charger provides 3 different charging modes
using just one charger and just one charging
socket on the vehicle.

The Chameleon charger automatically identifies whether it is a mono- or three-phase terminal. It is not the charging
terminal that transmits the information.
The socket terminals are supplied differently, depending on the type of charge. The Chameleon charger has three power
terminals: L1, L2 and L3.
IN MONO-PHASE
L1> Phase 1
L2> Nothing
L3> Neutral

PP > Presence Socket


CP > Control Pilot
PE > Earth
N > Earth via charging
terminal

The Chameleon charger controls a relay when it


detects a mono-phase charge. This relay allows
line L3 to be connected with line N.

IN THREE-PHASE
L1> Phase 1
L2> Phase 2
L3> Phase 3
The current drawn varies according to:
The maximum current that can be supplied
by the charging terminal
2. The maximum current requested by the
traction battery computer (BMS)

1.

The current decreases as the battery charge


increases.
