Before disconnecting the nozzle from the
charging connector:
► If the vehicle is unlocked, lock it and then
unlock it.
► If the vehicle is locked, unlock it.
The red indicator lamp in the flap goes out to
confirm that the charging nozzle is unlocked.
► Within 30 seconds, remove the charging
nozzle.
Domestic charging (mode 2)
The end of charging is confirmed by the fixed
lighting of the greenCHARGEindicator lamp on
the control unit and by the fixed lighting of the
green light guides in the flap.
► After disconnection, remove the protective
cover from the nozzle and close the charging flap.
► Disconnect the control unit's charging cable
from the domestic socket.
Accelerated charging (mode3)
The end of charging is confirmed by the
accelerated charging unit (Wallbox) and by the
fixed lighting of the green light guides in the flap.
► After disconnection, replace the nozzle on the
charging unit and close the charging flap.
Deferred charging

features, refer to the corresponding section.
Activation
► Connect the vehicle to the desired charging
equipment.
► Press this button in the flap within one
minute to activate the system (confirmed
by the light guides coming on in blue).
Towing device
Load distribution
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that
the heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle, and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing
engine performance. The maximum load which
can be towed must be reduced by 10% per
1,000metres of altitude.
Use towing devices and their genuine
wiring harnesses approved by the
Manufacturer. It is recommended that the
fitting be performed by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If not fitted by a dealer, it must still be fitted
in accordance with the Manufacturer's
instructions.
Important: with a motorised tailgate with
“Hands-Free Tailgate Access“ function, if
a towing device is fitted outside the dealer
network, it is essential to visit a dealer or a
qualified workshop to recalibrate the detection
system - risk of "Hands-Free Tailgate Access"
function failure.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid functions
are automatically deactivated if an approved
towing system is used.
Observe the maximum authorised towable
weight, indicated on the vehicle's
registration certificate, the manufacturer's
label as well as in the Technical data section of
this guide.
Complying with the maximum authorised
nose weight (towball) also includes the use of
accessories (bicycle carriers, tow boxes, etc.).
Observe the legislation in force in the
country where you are driving.
