vehicle damage, injury or death

could occur.
The system may not keep the

vehicle in the lane or give an alert,

even if a lane marking is detected.
The steering of the system may

not be sufficient to avoid a lane

departure.
The system may not detect hands-

off driving due to external

influences (road condition and

surface, weather etc). The driver

282

Driving and operating

has full responsibility to control the

vehicle and is always required to

keep the hands on the steering

wheel while driving.
Using the system while towing a

trailer or on slippery roads could

cause loss of control of the vehicle

and a crash. Switch the system off.

Driver alert

The driver alert system monitores the

driving time and the vigilance of the

driver. Monitoring the vigilance of the

driver is based on the trajectory

variations of the vehicle compared to

the lane markings.
The system cannot replace the need

for vigilance on the part of the driver.

Taking a break is recommended as

soon as feeling tired or at least every

two hours. Do not take the steering

wheel when feeling tired.

Activation or Deactivation

The system can be activated or

deactivated in the vehicle

The state of the system stays in

memory when the ignition is switched

off.

Driving time alert

The driver gets notified by a pop-up

reminder symbol

€

in the Driver

Information Centre simultaneously

with an acoustic alert if the driver has

not taken a break after 2 hours of

driving at a speed above 40 mph. The

alert is repeated hourly until the

vehicle is stopped, no matter how

vehicle speed evolves.
The counting of driving time alert is

reset if one of the following conditions

is met:

● The vehicle has been stationary

for more than 15 minutes with the

engine running.

● The ignition has been switched

off for a few minutes.

● The driver's seat belt has been

unfastened and the driver's door

is open.

Notice

If the vehicle speed drops below

40 mph, the system is paused. The

driving time is counted again once

the speed is above 40 mph.

Driver drowsiness detection

The system monitors the driver's level

of vigilance. A camera at the top of the

windscreen detects variations in

trajectory compared to the lane

markings. This system is particularly

suited to fast roads (speed higher

than 40 mph).
If the trajectory of the vehicle

suggests a certain level of

drowsiness or inattention by the

driver, the system triggers the first

level of alert. The driver is notified by

a message and an audible signal is

given.
After three first level alerts, the

system triggers a new alert with a

message, accompanied by a more

pronounced audible signal.
In certain driving conditions (poor

road surface or strong winds), the

system may give alerts independent

of the driver's level of vigilance.

Driving and operating

283

The driver drowsiness detection is

reinitialised when the ignition has

been switched off for a few minutes or

the speed remains below 40 mph for

a few minutes.

System limitations

In the following situations, the system

may not operate properly or even not

operate at all:

● poor visibility caused by

inadequate lighting of the

roadway, falling snow, heavy

rain, dense fog etc.

● dazzle caused by headlamps of

oncoming vehicles, low sun,

reflections on damp roads,

leaving a tunnel, alternating

shade and light etc.

● no lane markings detected or

multiple lane markings due to

roadworks

● close vehicles ahead
● winding roads or narrow roads

● advanced lane keep assist is

active

● covered camera by snow, ice,

slush, mud, dirt, or affected by

windscreen damage or foreign

items, e.g. stickers

Charging

General information

Warning

Persons with a pacemaker should

consult a doctor for possible

precautions.

Charging the vehicle's high voltage

battery depends upon several factors:

● high voltage battery of the vehicle
● internal onboard charger (OBC)
● charging cable
● external charging device

The charging cable connects the

vehicle with an external charging

device providing electric power. This

284

Driving and operating

may be a domestic electrical outlet, a

Green'Up socket, a wall box or a

public charging station.
The high voltage battery is charged

with direct current (DC) only. When

charging the vehicle with alternating

current (AC), AC has to be converted

into DC. This is done by the vehicle's

onboard charger. The onboard

charger is available with 7.4 kW

(single-phase) and 11 kW (3-phase).
If the vehicle is charged at a public DC

charging station, no DC conversion is

required. The high voltage battery

can be directly charged with DC

provided by the DC charging station.
The speed of charging the vehicle's

high voltage battery depends upon

the weakest element of the charging

chain. To achieve the maximum

charging speed, charging cable and

charging device have to be attuned to

each other.

Notice

Make sure that the charging cable

used fits to the vehicle's onboard

charger.

Electric power consumption and

range

The electric power consumption

(combined) is within a range of 22.5

to 19.8 kWh/100 km, CO

emission 0

g/km.
The range is up to 174 miles for

Combo-e Life and 170 miles for

Combo-e Cargo.
For the values specific to your

vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of

Conformity provided with your vehicle

or other national registration

documents.
The determination of electric power

consumption is regulated by directive

R (EC) No. 715/2007 and No.

2017/1151 (in the latest applicable

version).

Charging types

There are different types of charging

the vehicle's high voltage battery.

Charging at wallboxes

A wallbox is a charging unit for private

households. It provides a charging

cable which has to be connected to

the vehicle's charging port. Some

wallboxes do not provide a charging

cable. In this case, a separate

charging cable is required which has

to be connected to both the wallbox

and the charging port of the vehicle.
Charging time may take approx. 5

hours with a charging power of 11 kW

or 7.5 hours with a charging power of

7.4 kW.

Charging at charging stations

Charging stations may provide

alternating current (AC) or direct

current (DC). Charging time may vary

depending on the charging station,

DC charging stations provide the

fastest charging. To charge the

Driving and operating

285

vehicle's battery, the charging cable

of the charging station has to be

connected to the charging port of the

vehicle.

● AC charging station: Charging

time may take approx. 5 hours

with a charging power of 11 kW

or 7.5 hours with a charging

power of 7.4 kW.

● DC charging station: Up to

approx. 80% of battery capacity

may be charged in approx. 30

minutes at a charging power of

100 kW.

Charging at domestic electrical

outlets

The vehicle's high voltage battery can

be charged at a domestic electrical

outlet. Connect the charging cable to

the vehicle's charging port and to the

domestic electrical outlet.
Charging time may take approx. 30

hours with a charging power of 1.8

kW.

Charging cable

Depending on the charging type,

different charging cables are used.

Warning

Improper use of portable charging

cables may cause a fire, electrical

shock, or burns, and may result in

damage to property, serious

injury, or death.

● Do not use extension cables,

multi-outlet power strips,

plug, a control box and a plug for the

domestic electrical outlet. The control

box has an intergrated charge

controller and several LEDs

indicating the charging status.
Enhanced domestic cables (mode 2)

are similar to basic domestic cables

(mode 2). However, the charging

performance of enhanced domestic

cables (mode 2 charging) is better

than the charging performance of

basic domestic cables (mode 2).

Enhanced domestic cables (mode 2)

are used at Green'Up sockets which

have to be installed by a certified

electrician at the customer's site.

stress a building's electrical

system more than a typical

household appliance.

● Before you plug in to any

electrical outlet, have a qualified

electrician inspect and verify the

electrical system (electrical

outlet, wiring, junctions and

protection devices) for heavy-

duty service at a 10 A continuous

load.

● Electrical outlets may wear out

with normal usage or be

damaged over time, making them

unsuitable for electric vehicle

charging.

● Check the electrical outlet / plug

while charging and discontinue

use if the electrical outlet / plug is

hot, then have the electrical

outlet serviced by a qualified

electrician.

● When outdoors, plug into an

electrical outlet that is weather-

proof while in use.

● Mount the charging cable to

reduce strain on the electrical

outlet / plug.
