Instructions
Before driving
Vehicle checked for any damage before driving?
In case of damage: 0848 824 812
Disconnect the charge cable from the vehicle
Open the vehicle with the Mobility card (hold it up to the checkpoint). Press
the door unlocking button “1” by the switch in the driver’s door to stop the
charging process and remove the charging cable. The cable remains at the
charging station (and must be hung back in the holder). Close the flap of the
charging socket. 
Driving
A. To start the vehicle, depress the brake.
Please note: If too much time elapses between your first log-in with the card
and setting off, hold the Mobility card up to the card reader again.
B. When “Ready” appears in the display, the vehicle is ready to drive
(noiseless). Otherwise, repeat the process. The handbrake may have to be
released.
C. Engage driving position “D” (normal forward gear) or “B” (forward gear with
high recuperation when releasing the accelerator) or “R” (reverse) as
required, always keeping the brake depressed.
On the road
The motor of an electric car is virtually silent. Eco Mode – Range
ECO mode (in the control panel to the right of the selector lever) is a
function that optimised the range of your vehicle.
It impacts on certain consumer systems in the vehicle such as the air
conditioning and power steering.
An anticipatory driving style also increases the range.
Driving position “B”
In driving position “B”, the motor braking effect is more marked. This helps
charge the battery more during deceleration (braking).
| Range according to standard (WLTP) | 231 km |
|---|---|
| Range under normal driving conditions | 184 km |
Please note: If the range is less than 20 km, the vehicle must be taken to a charging station immediately.
After completing your journey
Park the vehicle in reverse at the Mobility parking space – the charging
socket is located on the right-hand ide at the rear. Put the car in P
(Parking) position, pull up the handbrake and switch off the car. Open charge
flap “2”.
Take the charge cable from
the charging station and plug it into the vehicle charging socket “3”.
Lock the car with the Mobility card (hold card at checkpoint).
Charging starts automatically, or if necessary you can activate the charging
station using the “Home charging card”. Check this on the LED “4” at the
charging socket.
This has to be flashing green if the car is being charged properly.
Have you removed all personal belongings from the vehicle?
On-the-go charging at a GOFAST fast-charging station
See here for details of the locations:
gofast.swiss/en/locations
https://www.gofast.swiss/en/locations
Put the car in P (Parking) position, pull up the handbrake and switch off the
car.
Open charge flap “1”.
Remove the rubber caps from sockets “2” and “3” under the charge flap.
Take the charge cable from the DC charging station and plug it into the
vehicle charging sockets “2” and “3”.
Start the charging process using the GOFAST charging card in the glove
compartment of the vehicle. To do this, follow the instructions on the
charging station display.
In the event of problems, call the number on the charging station.
| Range after 20 minutes of fast charging at maximum charging rate | ~ 160 km |
|---|---|
| Time required for 80% charge | ~ 30 mins |
The vehicle has two sockets under charge flap “1”:
- “2” = AC charging, e.g. at the Mobility station.
- “3” = DC fast charging. For fast charging, sockets “2” and “3” are used in combination.
On-the-go charging at a Type 2 AC fast-charging station
Proceed as when charging at a fast-charging station. To charge at a Type 2
charging station, only flap “2” has to be removed. In some cases, the charge
cables are permanently mounted on the charging station; otherwise use the
charge cable in the luggage compartment of the vehicle. Don’t forget to take
this with you when you’re finished charging. Depending on the provider, the
charging process is started automatically via an app or payment by credit card
(the customer can charge Mobility if payment by credit card is required).
The GOFAST charging card in the glove compartment of the vehicle can also be
used. If necessary, contact the provider of the charging station.
If the charging process has been started correctly, LED indicator “4” at the
charging socket flashes green. Check this to make sure.
| Range after 20 minutes of Type2 AC charging at maximum charging rate | ~ 20 km |
|---|---|
| Time required for 80% charge | ~ 4 hrs 10 mins |
Additional charge cable
If there are no charge cables at a charging station, you will find one in the
luggage compartment of the vehicle. This is compatible with charging stations
which have a Type 2 plug (socket “2”).
Don’t forget to put it back in the luggage compartment after charging. If the
charging process has been started correctly, LED indicator “4” at the charging
socket flashes green. Check this to make sure.
