E-MEHARI
An elegant design
combined with the latest
technology
Your E-MEHARI is an innovative electric
vehicle with a
new approach to mobility. Some
of the vehicle's systems operate differently from
those on a
conventional internal combustion
engine vehicle.
Your E-MEHARI uses energy stored in an
LMP
® (Lithium Metal Polymer) battery. The
LMP® battery has to be charged before you
can drive your E-MEHARI. The LMP® battery
progressively discharges during use of the
vehicle.
If the state of charge of the LMP
® battery is at
0%, your E-MEHARI cannot be started: the
LMP
® battery must be charged.
A full recharge (from 0% to 100%) on a normal
domestic power supply (standard charge) takes
between 8
and 13 hours on average depending
on the electrical system you have installed.
Your E-MEHARI uses two different types of
battery: the LMP
® battery to drive the vehicle
and a
12
V battery, as on a conventional
vehicle with an internal combustion engine.
The 12
V battery provides the energy needed
for operation of the vehicle's systems: e.g. the
audio system, the exterior and interior lighting,
the windscreen wipers.

The recirculation of interior air is automatic
and is managed according to the exterior
temperature so as to optimise comfort.
It is possible to activate air recirculation
manually by pressing the control button.
The indicator lamp in the button then comes on.
Demisting/defrosting
To quickly raise the temperature in the
passenger compartment and direct air to the
windscreen and quarter panels, several actions
are necessary:
-
P
osition the controls for temperature
(1) , air flow (2) and distribution (3) at the
windscreen demisting/defrosting position.
-
D
o not use the air recirculation control (4) .
Advice
Reduce the air flow setting (2) as soon as
the higher speed is no longer necessary,
so as to limit the energy consumption of
your E-MEHARI and optimise its range.Automatic air recirculation

Switching on the air
conditioning
To switch on the air conditioning (T° > 19°C),
press button (5) and position the temperature
control (1) at blue.
An A /C indicator lamp appears in
the instrument panel.
Automatic air recirculation
control
Your E-MEHARI has an air recirculation
control.
This air recirculation position is not to be 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.
Ease of use and comfort
29
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
(1) Assistance call microphone
(2) Courtesy lamp switch
(3) Courtesy lamp/Mood lighting
Your E-MEHARI's courtesy lamp comes on
automatically on opening the doors and goes
off when closing the doors or when you switch
the vehicle on.
Courtesy lamp
In this position, the courtesy lamp
comes on gradually:
-
w
hen the vehicle is unlocked,
-
w
hen the key is removed from the ignition,
-
w
hen opening a
door.
It switches off gradually:
-
w
hen the vehicle is locked,
-
w
hen the ignition is switched on,
-
3
0
seconds after the last door is closed. Permanently off.
Permanent lighting.
In permanent lighting mode, the lighting time
varies according to the circumstances:
-
w
hen the ignition is off, approximately ten
minutes,
-
i
n energy economy mode, approximately
thirty seconds,
-
w
ith the motor running, unlimited.
Before leaving the vehicle, check that the
courtesy lamp is no longer on.
This component is powered by the 12
V battery, which could be completely
discharged if it is left on.

Range
The vehicle's range has been type-approved to
European Regulation ECE 101R01.
In real use, several factors will vary the range
of an electric vehicle; you have some control
over these and so can make noticeable
improvements in the range.
These factors are:
-
s
peed and driving style
-
ro
ad profile
-
t
emperature settings
-
tyres
-
u
se of electrical accessories
-
v
ehicle loading
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.
Advice
-
d
rive at constant speed
-
a
dapt your driving style to avoid heavy
energy consumption
-
m
ake use of energy recovery:
anticipate the slowing of traffic early by
taking your foot off the accelerator or
by braking progressively
Road profile
On a hill, rather than trying to maintain your
s peed, do not depress the accelerator pedal
more than on level ground: rather, keep the
accelerator pedal in the same position.
Temperature settings
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 the
vehicle.
