INTRODUCTION

This document contains information for roadside technicians performing towing or

on-site breakdown repair operations.

This document describes the guidelines and precautions to be applied when

performing an operation on the Fluence Z.E. which has either broken down or been

damaged in an accident. These measures must be reviewed on a regular basis and

will be included in the final version of the roadside technician's guide.

This document must be read in full in order to understand the particularities of

these vehicles and thus prevent the risk of injury and electric shock during

operations.

As with any product that uses both high-voltage and low-voltage systems, it is

essential to follow specific procedures when carrying out work.

Vehicles which have broken down or been damaged in an accident must only be

towed or repaired by a qualified Electric Vehicle operative (with an authorization).

The few minutes spent reading this document will be very valuable in terms of the

information learnt concerning the safety, speed and quality of operations in order

to:

!prevent major mechanical and/or electrical damage during recovery

!better understand the possible and authorised towing configurations

!comply with the towing conditions defined by national legislation

!comply with the towing vehicle's payload

!act in a way that guarantees the safety of the occupants of the immobilised

vehicle.

"To identify the lockout methods in force according to the vehicle, consult the

Repair Methods on DIALOGYS or on INFOTECH on the internet.

c. 12V battery

The 12V battery on the electric vehicle is a standard 12V direct current battery - identical to the one used on a

conventional combustion engine vehicle. It is located in the engine compartment at the front of the vehicle.

The negative terminal is connected to the metallic chassis to create an electric earth.

Specifications of the 12 V battery

Voltage 12 V

Current intensity 70 A

Battery type Lead

Model L3 standard

d. 400 V traction battery

Specifications of the traction battery

Voltage 400 V

Current intensity 300 A

Capacity 24 kWh

Weight 295 kg

Battery type Lithium-ion

Dimensions 1200 x 750 x 800mm

"The vehicle’s battery is compatible with the Quick Drop system and must never

be removed outside approved stations or garages.

"RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR ELECTRIC SHOCK WHICH MAY RESULT IN

DEATH.

e. Energy transfer and isolation of the 400V circuit

All the 400V cables are ORANGE for identification purposes.

The 400V circuit, both positive and negative, is isolated from the vehicle's metal chassis.

400V circuit elements are related to the mass of the vehicle by an electrical link (ex: mass braids,..). These

links are a safety device for the occupants of the vehicle, the Emergency Services and stakeholders

roadsides against risk of electric shock.

"These connections must never be cut.

"These earth connections are a safety mechanism for the vehicle occupants,

the emergency services and roadside assistance technicians protecting

against the risk of electric shocks.

"The connections may be damaged in severe impacts. In this case, the

potential may no longer be equalised.

"RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR ELECTRIC SHOCK WHICH MAY RESULT

IN DEATH.
