Your E- MEHARI uses a high voltage
batter y which can be up to 450 volts.
The temperature of the system can be
high during and after starting and when
the vehicle is switched off. Be aware of
the high voltage (see page 26).
Never dismantle, remove or replace the
high voltage components, cables and
connectors as they can cause serious
burns and an electric shock which could
cause serious or fatal injuries.
Precautions related to high
voltage
The high voltage cables are orange in colour.
There is no part of the high voltage system of
your E-MEHARI that can be replaced by the
user;

for

all maintenance and repair of the vehicle's
high voltage system. In the event of a collision
●
If you can drive the vehicle: move the vehicle to the side of the road, put the drive
selector at position "N" (neutral), apply the manual parking brake and switch off your
E-MEHARI.
● Make a visual check of the condition of your E- MEHARI to verify that no high voltage
cable or component is visible. To avoid injury: never touch the cables, the connectors,
the charger, the LMP
® battery or any other part of the high voltage system on your
E-MEHARI. You could suffer an electric shock if exposed cable conductors are visible,
whether inside or outside the vehicle. Never touch visible electric cables.
● If the vehicle has sustained a heavy impact to the floor: stop the vehicle in a safe
area and check the condition of your E-MEHARI's floor.
● If a fire has star ted in your E- MEHARI: get out of the vehicle immediately. Use a fire
extinguisher suitable for type ABC, BC or C fires of electric origin to put out the fire.
Using water or the wrong type of fire extinguisher can cause serious or fatal injuries
through electric shock.
● If your vehicle has to be recovered,

ofessional. Have the front wheels lifted as, if the vehicle is towed with the front wheels
on the ground, the traction motor can produce electricity. This can damage the systems
on your E-MEHARI and cause a fire.
● If you cannot safely check the condition of your vehicle
b

ecause of the level of
damage sustained, do not touch your vehicle. Contact the emergency services and
specify that you have an electric vehicle. Inform the first to arrive at the scene of the
accident that it concerns an electric vehicle.
● In the event of an accident: you must contact a CITROËN authorised repairer or
a qualified professional who will send a person able to work on a damaged electric
vehicle.
● Obser ve the driving regulations on the safety of vehicles and third par ties.

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

uthorised
r
epairer
o
r
a q
ualified
pr

ofessional without delay.
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
o
r
a q

p
rofessional
w
ithout
d e

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…).

Air

conditioning control To be effective, the air conditioning
should only be used with the windows
closed.
If the ambient temperature is below
19°C, the instruction is accepted but the
air conditioning will not run.
If the air flow setting is at minimum
while the air conditioning is on,
the system manages the air flow
automatically to optimise operation.
The condensation created by the
air conditioning system results in a
puddle of water under the vehicle when
stationary;

Advice
Operate the air conditioning system at least
once per month to keep it in per fect working
o r d e r.
Switching on the air
conditioning
To switch on the air conditioning (T° > 19°C),
press button 5 a nd position the temperature
control (1) at blue.
An A /C indicator appears in the
instrument panel.
To switch off the air conditioning,
press button (5) again.
You can operate the automatic air recirculation
to increase the effectiveness and speed of the
air conditioning (no demisting).

Replacing a fuse
Fuses under the bonnet
Your E-MEHARI is an electric vehicle
that includes systems operating at
high voltage and high currents. The
maintenance on the fuses under the

A mistake handling these parts could
cause an electric shock resulting in
serious injury or death.
All maintenance on the vehicle's fuses must be

Fuses in the passenger
compartment
Remove the nut from the access cover (1)

located below the passenger storage
compartment. If an electric system is not working, check the
condition of the fuses.

progressively
Speed and driving style
High speed reduces the range of the vehicle.
Sporty driving reduces the range of the vehicle:
adopt a smooth driving style.
Road profile
On a hill, rather than trying to maintain your
speed, do not depress the accelerator pedal
more than on level ground: rather, keep the
accelerator pedal in the same position.
Temperature setting
Using the heating or air conditioning reduces
the range of the vehicle.
Ty r e s
Low tyre pressures increase energy
consumption.
Observe the tyre pressures recommended for
your vehicle.
When replacing tyres, give preference to tyres
of the same brand, size, type and structure as
the original fitment.
Using tyres of different characteristics
significantly reduces the range of the vehicle.
Vehicle loading
Avoid carrying unnecessary loads in or on the
vehicle.
