Heating / Ventilation
Air intake
Air entering the heating and ventilation system
follows different paths according to the settings
made by the driver or passengers.
Air circulating in the passenger compartment
is filtered and comes either from outside
the vehicle or is recirculated from inside the
vehicle.

Recommendations on ventilation and heating
Ventilation
Observe the following recommendations for the
ventilation system to be fully effective:
● For

are
no

t to obstruct the air intakes at the bottom
of the windscreen or the nozzles, vents and
air outlets iside the vehicle.
● Give

xterior
ai

r: prolonged use of air recirculation can
cause misting of the windscreen and side
windows.
Heating
It operates directly on energy from your
E-MEHARI's LMP® battery.
Its use increases the vehicle's consumption of
electrical energy and reduces its range.
Remember to switch off the heating when it is
no longer needed.
The ventilation and heating systems are more
effective when the vehicle is fully fitted with its
roof and sides.

Heating controls
With automatic air recirculation.
(1) Air temperature control.
(2) Air flow control.
(3) Air distribution control.
(4) Air recirculation control. The control for:
● air

is used to adjust the
temperature of the air delivered,
● air

is used to choose the air
vents used in the passenger compartment ,
● air

is used to limit the
intake of odours, fumes and other external
pollution into your E-MEHARI.
Air temperature control
To adjust the temperature of the
air delivered
Turn the control knob to the right (red) for hot
a i r.
Turn the control knob to the left (blue) for cool
a i r.

Air flow control
To increase the air flow
Turn the control knob to the right.
To decrease the air flow
Turn the control knob to the left.Note
The highest setting gives the fastest
demisting/defrosting.

Automatic air recirculation
control
Your E-MEHARI has an air recirculation
control.
This air recirculation position is not used
continuously as it can cause misting.
As soon as you can: return to the exterior air
intake position or the central position if you
want more heating.

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).

If you notice when driving that the
bonnet is not closed correctly, slow
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
a

uthorised repairer
or
a qual

ified
pr
ofessional

lay.
Closing the bonnet
Disengage the stay while holding the bonnet
with one hand to avoid it suddenly dropping.
Return the stay to its original position and allow
the bonnet to drop and latch home.
Check that the bonnet has latched correctly.

Make a regular visual check of the brake fluid
and coolant levels.
These levels should be topped-up by a

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.
