Check the tyre pressures regularly and
always observe the inflation pressures
indicated above.
Low tyre pressures can cause
premature wear of the tyres and
introduce the risk of the tyres bursting.
The tyre pressures must be checked
with the tyres cold and adjusted if
necessary. Replace worn tyres only by tyres of
same model as the original fitment, or
equivalent,

The responsibility for having the correct
tyre pressures lies with the driver.
Never exceed the speed rating or load
index of the tyres fitted to the vehicle.
It is for the driver to check the wear of
the tyres using the wear indicators in
the tyre tread.
Maintenance

57

Never wash the underbonnet, the
charging socket or the traction battery
using a high pressure jet wash: risk of
damage to the electrical system.
Never wash the vehicle while it is
charging: risk of electric shock that
could cause death.
Cleaning the vehicle by the regular
use of a high pressure car wash with
rotating brushes is not recommended.
Washing precautions
Not recommended for care
of the bodywork
● Degreasing or cleaning the mechanical components under the body, parts with

Temporary puncture repair kit
Access to the repair kit
You E-MEHARI's puncture repair kit (1) is
located under the boot floor hatch.
The boot floor hatch is opened with the grip (2)
(only if your E-MEHARI is only unlocked using
your personal RFID key ring). Never remove from a tyre the foreign
body that has caused the puncture.
The sealant product held in the
compressor is toxic and is an irritant.
Never ingest it, never spray it onto the
body, face or eyes.
In the event of ingestion, call the
emergency services (fire, ambulance...)
or go to Accident & Emergency
services.
If it enters the eyes, wash with abundant
clean water and consult a doctor
without delay.
If the symptoms persist, consult a
specialist.
Keep the sealant product out of the
reach of children.
Using the puncture repair kit
Refer to the instructions provided with the
compressor.
Do not simply throw the old cartridge
away

that includes systems operating at
high voltage and high currents. The
maintenance on the fuses under the
bonnet of your E-MEHARI must be
carried
o

A mistake handling these parts could
cause an electric shock resulting in
serious injury or death.

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.

Going into hibernation
mode
Maximum hibernation period
according to the state of charge
of the battery
100%: 4 months
75% - 99%: 3 months
50% - 74%: 2 months
25% - 49%: 1 monthDo not put your E-MEHARI into
hibernation with a battery state of
charge of less than 25%.
Unlock your vehicle and disconnect the
charging plug.
Turn the ignition key to the first position, the
screen then displays:
Position the hibernation key in the switch
located below the drive selector, turn it to
the right and hold it in this position for a few
seconds.
The screen then displays: entry into hibernation
mode is confirmed.
Remove the hibernation key and the starter key.
The screen goes off after 30
s

econds.
Do not lock the vehicle.
Hibernation mode
Hibernation mode allows the consumption of
energy from the battery to be reduced to a
minimum.
In this way you can park your E-MEHARI,
not connected and with no consumption of
electrical energy, for several weeks or even
several months.
Coming out of hibernation mode takes 4
h

ours
and is followed by the charging time (a
maximum of between 8
a

nd 13
h
ours).
