2022 CITROEN E-MEHARI warning

54
Drive selector
(1)Drive selector.
Selector modes
(N)"NEUTRAL" position: no drive engaged.
(D) "DRIVE" position: for ward.
(R) "REVERSE" position: reverse.
It is essential to keep the brake pedal applied
when changing selector position. Do not press the accelerator pedal when
moving the selector lever from position "N"
to position "D" or "R". All changes of drive selector position must
be made with the vehicle stationary.
Failure to follow this advice leads to the
risk of an accident.
Do not change drive direction with the
selector when the accelerator pedal is
pressed down.
This can cause the vehicle to move off
suddenly and cause an accident.
Electric power steering
system
If this warning lamp is visible on
your E-MEHARI's instrument
panel: your E-MEHARI's power
steering has a


technical problem.
If this happens, you must contact
CITROËN ASSISTANCE as soon as
possible.
It is recommended that the vehicle not be
used while this warning lamp is on: you
could lose control of your vehicle, cause
an accident and be injured. The electric power steering system is designed
to provide power assistance to the steering
when parking or driving at low speed so that
you can manoeuvre the vehicle with less effort.
When driving in town, the level of electric
assistance can be increased by using the City
function.
To activate the City function, press the control
button.
With the City function activated, the
CIT Y indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel of your E-MEHARI.
To deactivate the City function: press the
control button again. The green "City" indicator
lamp goes off.
The City function is switched off automatically
when the ignition is switched off.

Tyre under-inflation
detection
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressure in all four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the pressure of one or more
tyres.
The tyre under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
This system still requires you to check the
tyre inflation pressure (including the spare
wheel, where fitted) every month as well
as before a
long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
handling, extends braking distances and
causes premature tyre wear, particularly
in adverse conditions (heavy loads, high
speeds, long journeys).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases energy consumption. The tyre pressure specifications for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings
, refer to the
corresponding section.
Tyre pressures should be checked when
the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1
hour or after a journey of less than
6
miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3
bar to the
pressures shown on the label.
Under-inflation alert
It is indicated by this warning lamp
coming on, fixed. F
Reduce speed immediately, avoid excessive
steering movements and sudden braking.
F Stop as soon as possible, when traffic
conditions allow.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not rely on a simple visual check.
F If you have a compressor (such as the
one in the temporary puncture repair kit),
check the pressures of the four tyres when
cold. If it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
or
F In the event of a
puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit.
The alert is kept active until the system is
reinitialised.

Reinitialisation
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressures of one or more
tyres, and after changing one or more wheels.Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the tyre
pressure label.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a
warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
The system must be reinitialised with the
ignition on and the vehicle stationary, via the
vehicle's configuration menu, in Advanced
settings.
The under-inflation alert can only be relied
on if the reinitialisation of the system has
been done with the pressures in the four
tyres correctly adjusted.

Obser ve the safety rules and follow the
steps indicated before use.
-
Us
e only the original charging cable.
-

D
o not attempt to dismantle or repair the
charging cable.
-

D
o not use an extension lead or adapter.
-

I
ncorrect use of the charging cable would
risk causing an accident such as an
electrical discharge or fire.
-

I
mmediately stop using the charging cable
if a
fault or problem occurs or if the FAULT
warning lamp lights up or flashes.
-

E
nsure that the plug is not allowed to
become wet.
-

D
o not touch the terminals on the charging
cable or the vehicle's charging socket.
-

D
o not use the charging cable if parts of
it are broken, frayed, cracked, open or
showing any other sign of damage.
-

K
eep the charging cable out of reach of
children.
-

W
hen using the charging cable, the
ambient temperature must not exceed
45


degrees Celsius.
-

H
andle the charging cable with care, avoid
dropping it and do not pull heavily on the
cable or the cord. The components of your E-MEHARI
comply with electromagnetic emission
standards. However, as a
precaution,
if you have a
pacemaker or any other
electrical medical device, ask your doctor
about any precautions to take.
-
E nsure that the electrical power supply is
220 -240 V 50 Hz alternating current.
-
B

efore connecting the charging cable,
check the nominal current indicated on
the charging cable, to ensure that the
power point and supply circuit are rated
sufficiently highly to charge your vehicle.
-

T
he charging cable allows 10 A of
continuous consumption, you must ensure
that the electrical installation (socket,
cables, etc.) for the charging have this
value of nominal current at a
minimum
and comply with the most recent electrical
cable standards and regulations in force in
your country or region.
-

T
he maximum nominal current depends
on the country.
-

T
he socket and wiring circuit must be
earthed and protected by a
circuit breaker
specifically designed for this purpose or
a
fuse to avoid any accident of electrical
origin.
-

C
ontact a qualified electrician if in any
doubt over the power point and wiring
circuit.
Practical information

Starting the charge
To start charging, the ignition must be
switched off, the car must be unlocked
with the RFID key ring, and the parking
brake activated.
1. Connect the plug (1) to a
230 V/16 A socket
that can support a
continuous current of 10
A. All the LEDs on the control unit light up
for half a
second then the POWER warning
lamp lights up permanently. 2.
Open and hold open the vehicle's charging
socket panel (on the right-hand rear wing).
Ensure that there is no foreign body in the
connector terminals or the charging plug.
3. Push the charging nozzle (2) into the
charging socket until it clicks in place. The
indicator lamp on the charging shut-off
button (1) starts to flash.
-

C

omponent parts may be damaged by
incorrect use.
-
E
nsure that the control unit of the
charging cable is placed so that any
contact with water is avoided.
-

A

void introducing any foreign bodies or
particles into the connector terminals
or charging plug.
-

A

void treading on, folding or knotting
the cable or cord.
-
A

void using the charging cable during
a


storm.
-

D

o not place heavy objects on the
charging cable.
-
W

cable away from objects that become
hot.
-

W

hen the charging cable is not in
use, stow it with its protective cover in
a

cool, dry place that is not exposed to
