e-mehari_en_Chap01_faite-connaissance_ed02-2016
Your E-MEHARI is an electric vehicle
that uses direct current at high voltage.
Failing to observe the handling
instructions can cause serious or fatal
injuries.
Ensure that you read and follow the
charging procedures recommended by
CITROËN.

to E-MEHARI
It is recommended that the battery be charged
as often as possible.
With the charge indicator at 100%, if not
charged the LMP
® battery can discharge in
2 d
ays (without using the vehicle).
A hibernation mode is available to reduce
energy consumption from the battery 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.

ABS – ESP
These systems are additional aids when
driving in critical situations, allowing the
behaviour of the vehicle to be adapted
to the driver's wishes.
However these systems intervene
taking the place of the driver.
They cannot extend the vehicle's limits
and should not encourage you to drive
f a s t e r.
They cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance, or
the responsibility of the driver when
manoeuvring the vehicle (the driver
must always be alive to sudden events
that could occur while driving).Precautions
In an emergency, it is recommended that you
apply the brakes firmly and continuously.
It is not necessary to successively apply and
release the brakes (pumping the pedal).
The ABS will modulate the brake effort
applied.
ABS (anti-lock braking
system)
The ABS avoids locking the wheels under
heavy braking, so optimising the stopping
distance and allowing control of the vehicle to
be retained.
In these conditions, avoiding manoeuvres while
braking are possible.
In addition, this system optimises the stopping
distance on sur faces offering poor grip (wet
roads…).
ABS (warning lamp)
It comes on when the vehicle is switched on
and then goes off shortly after wards.
If it comes on when driving, it signals a fault in
the anti-lock braking system.
The braking system then operates as on
a vehicle not fitted with ABS. Contact a
CITROËN
a

epairer

ESP
This system helps retain control of the vehicle
in "critical" driving situations (avoiding an
obstacle, loss of grip in a corner…).
Principle of operation
A steering wheel sensor provides information
on the trajectory wanted by the driver.
Other sensors around the vehicle measure the
actual trajectory.
The system compares the driver's wishes with
the actual trajectory of the vehicle, correcting
the latter if necessary by acting on certain
brakes and/or the engine power.
ESP (warning lamp)
It comes on when the vehicle is switched on
and then goes off shortly after wards.
The ESP warning lamp flashes in regulation
mode, when its is called on to maintain grip.
If it comes on when driving, it signals a fault
in the ESP: contact a CITROËN authorised
repairer

l ay.
Operation of the system can be felt by vibration
in the brake pedal.
The ABS does not improve the "physical"
per formance possible, which depends on the
grip between the tyres and the road.
It follows that the normal safe driving practices
must be observed (distance between
vehicles…).

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).

Coming out of hibernation mode
Do not connect the vehicle before step
5 and carry out each step in order.
1.
Po

sition the hibernation key in the switch.
Turn it to the left. 2. Ch
eck the message displayed: the screen
asks you to turn the key.
3.
Tu

rn the ignition key to the first position. The
vehicle wakes up.
4.
Sw

itch off and remove the ignition key. The
screen display is then as shown, 5.
Pl

ug in the charging cable.
Check for the rapid flashing of the green LED,
confirming that the battery is charging.
Leave your vehicle on charge for the period
displayed so that it is 100% operational. Never disconnect the charging cable
while the green LED is flashing rapidly
(a minimum of 4
h

ours).
You have to be in possession of the
charging cable and be able to connect
your vehicle to a power supply to
be able to wake the vehicle from
hibernation.
Wait a few seconds. The hazard warning lamps
flash several times and the boot locks and
unlocks.
