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/defrosting).
To be effective, the air conditioning should
only be used with the windows closed.
If the exterior temperature is below 19°C,
the instruction is received but the air
conditioning will not come on.
If the air flow setting is at minimum when
the air conditioning is switched on, the
system manages the air flow automatically
to optimise ventilation.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a
discharge of
water under the vehicle which is per fectly
normal.
Advice
Operate the air conditioning system at
least once a month to keep it in per fect
working order.Interior lighting

Ease of use and comfort

37
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 obser ved (distance between vehicles,
e t c .) .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 (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 authorised repairer or a qualified
professional without delay.
ESP
This system helps retain control of the vehicle
in "critical" driving situations (avoiding an
obstacle, loss of grip in a
corner, etc.).
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 motor 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 it is called on to maintain grip.
If it comes on when driving, it signals a
fault
in the ESP system: contact a
CITROËN
authorised repairer or a
qualified professional
without delay.
Seat belts
Your E-MEHARI is fitted with four 3 -point seat
belts:
-

O
ne for the driver's seat.
-
O

ne for the front passenger's seat.
-

T
wo for the rear bench seat.
To correctly position a
seat belt: place the lap
strap as low as possible on your hips, correctly
adjusted.
Ensure that the diagonal belt passes over your
shoulder.
All persons carried in your E-MEHARI
must always wear a
seat belt.

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.
Driving

To top up the screenwash fluid: remove the cap
from the reser voir, place a funnel in the neck
of the reser voir and fill the reser voir up to the
"MAX" mark.
In low temperatures, use a
screenwash
fluid with adequate protection against
freezing.
Always be extremely vigilant when
filling the screenwash reservoir and
take account of the general safety
recommendations mentioned in this
handbook.
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 therefore with no consumption
of electrical energy, for several weeks or even
several months.
Coming out of hibernation mode takes 4
hours
and is followed by the charging time (a
maximum of between 8
and 13 hours).
You cannot put your E-MEHARI into
hibernation with a
battery state of charge
of less than 25%.
Going into hibernation
mode
Maximum hibernation period
depending on the state of charge
of the battery
In hibernation, the battery will self-discharge by
between 0.5% and 1% per day.
Therefore, the maximum duration of
hibernation depending on the battery charge
level is:
100%: 4
months
75% – 99%: 3
months
50% – 74%: 2
months
25% – 49%: 1
month 2.
If necessary, unlock your vehicle and
disconnect the charging plug.
3. Turn the ignition key to the first position,
the screen then displays:
4. Press the settings button (1) on the
right of the screen. The screen displays
various possible choices.
5. Select "Extended dormancy" using the
arrows.
6. Press and hold the settings button for
5


seconds.
7. Switch off the ignition. Entry into
hibernation mode is confirmed.
1. Move your vehicle close to a
charging
point.
Practical information

67
The screen goes off after 30 seconds.
T he switch to hibernation mode takes effect
after approximately 4


hours.
During this time, it is possible to cancel
switching to hibernation mode, as well as to
unlock or lock the vehicle.
Once this time has passed, your vehicle can no
longer be locked or unlocked.
If you intend to lock your vehicle, make sure to
take out your charging cable beforehand.
If the vehicle is to be put into hibernation
mode for a
long period, to prolong the ser vice
life of the 12
V ancillaries battery, you can
remove it or disconnect its (-) terminal.
Cancelling the switch to
hibernation mode
The switch to hibernation mode takes effect
after approximately 4 hours.
During this time, it is possible to cancel
switching to hibernation mode.
It will not necessarily be possible to use your
E-MEHARI right away (a long warm-up phase
may take place depending on the time between
starting hibernation and cancelling it).
If the screen displays "Standby – Connect the
plug" (with the vehicle logo circled in red), you
will not be able to start. Switch off the ignition
and connect your E-MEHARI.
Coming out of hibernation
mode
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. 1.
Press the settings button on the right of
the screen. The screen asks if you wish
to cancel the hibernation.
2. Press and hold the settings button
for 5 seconds to cancel the switch to
hibernation mode. It is imperative that you do not
disconnect the vehicle during the
warm-up phase.
After the warm-up phase, the charging of
the battery begins.
Wait until the charge level reaches 100%
before disconnecting your E-MEHARI.
Audio system
Radio
Your E-MEHARI is pre-wired to receive any
audio system with ISO connectors.
You can install the model of your choice.
However, as your E-MEHARI can only
accommodate one audio system, installing
a
new audio system means that the Bluetooth
audio system which is already fitted must be
disconnected. To come out of hibernation mode, simply
connect the charging cable.
It takes approximately 4
hours for the battery
to wake up.
During this warm-up phase, the indicator
lamp on the charging shut-off button and the
charging indicator lamp on the display flash
rapidly.
