Precautions related to high
voltage
Your E- MEHARI uses a high voltage
b attery that can reach 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.
For more information on High voltage
safety , refer to the corresponding section.
Never dismantle, remove, replace or
handle the high voltage components,
cables and connectors as they can cause
serious burns and an electric shock which
could cause serious or fatal injuries.
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; this must only be done by a
qualified
professional.
Take your E-MEHARI to a
CITROËN
authorised repairer or a
qualified professional
for all maintenance and repair of the vehicle's
high voltage system.
Precautions related to road
accidents
In the event of collision
- I f 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.
-

C
arr y out 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
cables are visible, whether you are inside
or outside the vehicle. Never touch visible
electric cables.
-

I

f 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.
-

I

f a

fire has star ted in your E- MEHARI:
get out of the vehicle immediately. To
extinguish the fire, use an extinguisher
specially designed for electrical fires of
the ABC, BC or C type. Use of water or
the wrong type of extinguisher may cause serious or even fatal injuries due to electric
shock.
-
I
f your vehicle has to be recovered,
call a CITROËN authorised repairer or
a qualified professional and have the front
wheels lifted. If the vehicle is towed with
the front wheels on the ground, the traction
motor may produce electricity. This can
damage the systems on your E-MEHARI and
cause a fire.
-
I
f you cannot safely check the condition
of your vehicle because 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.
-

I
n 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.
-

O
bserve the driving regulations on the
safety of vehicles and third par ties.

Be particularly aware of pedestrians, cyclists,
children and motorcyclists. Your E-MEHARI
is a silent vehicle, and they may not hear you
coming, which could give rise to collisions. To avoid collisions with pedestrians, your
E-MEHARI is fitted with a
special horn. This
special pedestrian horn allows you to announce
your approach in a friendly and less aggressive
way than would be the case with a conventional
horn.
For more information on the Horns , refer to the
corresponding section.
Before moving off, leave your foot on the brake
pedal until you are ready to drive. Before
getting out of your E-MEHARI, do not forget
to put the drive selector back to position "N",
apply the manual parking brake and switch off
your vehicle. -
Y
our E-MEHARI has a system for energy
recovery on deceleration. The main goal of
the recovery of energy is to recover in the
LMP
® battery part of the energy generated
when the vehicle is slowing down, in order
to improve the range of the LMP
® battery
and thus the driving distance. In your
E-MEHARI, it is the braking effect of the
electric motor that plays this role.
-

S

pecial case: following a

full charge of
the LMP
® battery and during the initial
subsequent use of the vehicle, the
braking effect of the electric motor may
be temporarily reduced. You should adapt
your driving as a consequence.
-

W

e therefore recommend that you
anticipate the need to slow down as much
as possible, so as to obtain the maximum
driving range.
-

T

he brake pedal should be used to slow
or stop the vehicle according to the road
and traffic conditions. Your E-MEHARI's
brakes do not provide any energy
r e c ove r y.
Precautions in the event of
an electrical failure
In the event of a general electric failure, your
E -MEHARI will no longer be driven by the
electric motor. As quickly as possible, you
must place the vehicle in a
safe area obser ving
the driving regulations on road safety (hard
shoulder, side of the road, etc.).
Immobilise your E-MEHARI, switch on the
hazard warning lamps, get out of the vehicle
and stand in a
safe place, put on your high-
visibility vest and call CITROËN ASSISTANCE,
who will contact the emergency and roadside
assistance services.

as the secure compartment located in the
boot. The personal RFID key ring reader (1)
is
located on the windscreen, driver's side.
The reader only responds to your personal
RFID key ring.Unlocking the vehicle
Present your personal RFID key ring in front
of the reader (1) located on the windscreen,
driver's side.
The indicator lamp on the reader flashes green
and the hazard warning lamps flash to confirm
the opening of the doors and the driving rights.
Locking the vehicle
With the ignition switched off and the ignition
key removed from the switch, present your
personal RFID key ring in front of the reader (1)
located on the windscreen, driver's side.
The indicator lamp on the reader flashes blue
confirming the complete locking of the vehicle. Always remove the ignition key from
the starting switch before locking your
E-MEHARI.
Otherwise, your vehicle will remain unlocked
and the immobiliser will not be set.
