26 - Getting to know your vehicle
Note: the "12 V" battery does not help
to start the combustion engine. This is
providedbytheE-Techfullhybridsys-
tem.
"400 V" electrical circuit
The A symbol identifies the electrical
elements in your vehicle which may
present safety risks.
The "400 V" electrical circuit can be
recognised by orange cables 6 and
parts bearing the symbol.
Noise
The E-Tech full hybrid vehicles are
particularlyquietintheelectricoperat-
ing 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 noises that may seem unusual
(aerodynamic noises, tyres, etc.) as
well as noises due to the operation of
the E-Tech full hybrid system (e.g.
cooling of the traction battery).
As your E-Techfullhy-
brid vehicle is silent,
when leaving it always
engage the gear in Ppo-
sition, apply the parking brake
and switch off the ignition.
RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY.
