The
A
symbol identifies the electrical
elements in your vehicle which may
present safety risks.
The "230 V" electrical circuit can be
recognised by orange cables

and
parts bearing the symbol.
Noise
The hybrid vehicles are particularly
quiet in electric operating mode.
You will not yet necessarily be used to
it, and neither will other road users. It
is difficult for them to hear your vehicle
when it is moving.
As the electric motor is silent, you will
hear other noises that may seem
unusual (aerodynamic noises, tyres,
etc.) as well as noises due to the
operation of the hybrid system (e.g.
cooling of the traction battery).
Your hybrid vehicle is
very quiet. When getting
out of the vehicle,
always check that the
gear selector is in P position,
apply the parking brake and
switch off the ignition.
RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY.

The pedestrian horn enables you to
warnothersofyourpresence–
especially pedestrians and cyclists.
In electric operating mode, the system
is activated automatically.
The sound is emitted when the vehicle
speed is between approximately 1 and
19 mph (1 and 30 km/h).
For further information on the
pedestrian horn, refer to the
multimedia instructions.
In the event of a fault with the
pedestrian horn, the warning
light is displayed on the instrument
panel,accompaniedbythe"Exterior
sound fault" message.
