The drive train is powered directly
by the LMP® battery fitted to your
E-MEHARI.
Never try to do anything to the high
voltage components of your vehicle.
A mistake in handling these
components could cause an electric
shock and serious or fatal injuries.
The underbonnet of the vehicle is a
dangerous area that could cause serious
injuries.
Always keep children well away from
the underbonnet and never leave them
unsupervised.
Under the bonnet
Under the bonnet of your E-MEHARI can
be found the vehicle's drive train and the
reservoirs containing the fluid needed for the
correct operation of your E-MEHARI (brake
fluid, coolant and screenwash fluid).
Opening the bonnet
1. Releasing the bonnet: Pull the bonnet
release lever (1) located below and to the
left of the steering wheel, at the vehicles
left-hand front wheel arch.
Your E-MEHARI's bonnet is opened in two
steps:
The bonnet stay locates into the red cutout (3)
provided for this purpose.
When opening the bonnet, ensure that
it is always supported by the stay, so
as to avoid any injury resulting from the
bonnet dropping.

down and stop where it is safe to do so,
and then close the bonnet correctly.There are high voltage components
under the bonnet of your E-MEHARI.
We recommend that you should not
try to carry out the maintenance and
servicing of your vehicle yourself.
A mistake in handling these
components could cause an electric
shock and serious or fatal injuries.If work is needed on your vehicle,
contact a CITROËN

Practical advice

60
e-mehari_en_Chap05_conseils-pratiques_ed02-2016
Check the condition of the fuse and, if
necessary, replace it with a new fuse,
which must be of the same rating as the
original fuse.
A fuse of too high a rating could cause
overheating of the electrical system
(risk of fire) if there were abnormal
current consumption in a circuit.
To check and replace a fuse:
- Ex
tract the fuse using the tweezer (1)
-
Sl

ide the tweezer sideways to remove it
-
It i

s recommended that the free fuse
locations be not used
-
Do

n't forget to return the tweezer (1) to its
holder
The tweezer for extracting fuses (1) is located
under the bonnet.
