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

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.
