In order to offer its optimum range,
your E-MEHARI's LMP® batter y must
be charged whenever possible,
par ticularly during periods when it is
parked for several hours.
A batter y charged to 100% cannot
remain parked for more than 48
hours
without being recharged.
Due to its intrinsic characteristics,
and in contrast to Li-ion batteries, the
LMP
® battery is not sensitive to exterior
temperature conditions.
The vehicle's range has been type-approved
in accordance with European Regulation ECE
101R01.
For more information on the ser vice life of the
LMP
® battery, contact your CITROËN customer
services. IT IS PROHIBITED to recycle or scrap the
LMP
® battery from your E-MEHARI. The
LMP® battery is the property of Bluecar
and must never be discarded.
To help you charge your E-MEHARI's
LMP
® battery correctly, Bluecar may
contact you to tell you that the charge
level is becoming too low.
Driving with a discharged LMP®
battery
When the level of charge of your LMP® battery
becomes too low (20%): a warning lamp
appears on the upper screen of the dashboard.
Your E-MEHARI must be connected to
a

charging point that meets CITROËN's
specifications without delay.
The distance that your E-MEHARI can cover
will be very limited and the output from the
motor (the torque) will be automatically reduced
to increase the potential range.
To charge the LMP
® battery, the vehicle has to
be connected to a

power supply. To improve its
range, your E-MEHARI has an energy recovery
system using the braking effect of the electric
motor on deceleration.
Your E-MEHARI is a
vehicle that emits no
polluting gases, such as CO
2, nor micro-
particles. Your E-MEHARI is also completely
silent.
The LMP® (Lithium Metal
Polymer) battery
Your E-MEHARI contains a high
v oltage LMP® battery isolated from its
surroundings by its unique packaging
arrangement. The LMP
® battery must
only be handled by trained and qualified
persons. Never handle the LMP
® battery
yourself: risk of severe burns, electric
shock that could cause serious or fatal
injuries and risks for the environment.
NEVER HANDLE THE LMP
® B AT T E RY
YOURSELF.
Precautions on the use of the
LMP® battery
To avoid damaging the LMP® battery, it is
recommended that:
•

T

he vehicle be placed on charge straight
away if the charge indicator drops to 0%.
•

T

HE LMP® BATTERY NEVER BE USED
FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE.

Advice
For the airbags to be fully effective,
observe the safety recommendations
below.
Adopt a normal and upright sitting position.
Wear a
correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the occupants
and the airbags (a child, pet, object, etc.), nor
fix or attach anything close to or in the way of
the airbag release trajectory; this could cause
injuries during their deployment.
Never modify the original definition of your
vehicle, particularly in the area directly
around the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen, have the airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag systems must
be carried out by a
CITROËN dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are
obser ved, a risk of injury or of minor burns to
the head, chest or arms cannot be ruled out
when an airbag is deployed. The bag inflates
almost instantly (within a
few milliseconds)
then deflates within the same time
discharging hot gas via openings provided for
this purpose. Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its
spokes or resting your hands on the centre
part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags
can cause burns or the risk of injury from
a
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or
hit it violently.
Do not fit or attach anything to the steering
wheel, the dashboard or the passenger's
sun visor as this could cause injuries with
deployment of the airbags.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment of the lateral
airbags. For information on the range of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, you can
contact a
CITROËN dealer.
Do not attach or hang anything to the seat
backrests (clothes, etc.) as this could cause
injuries to the thorax or arm when the lateral
airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary. The vehicle's front door panels include side
impact sensors.
A damaged door or any unauthorised or
incorrectly executed work (modification or
repair) on the front doors or their interior trim
could compromise the operation of these
sensors – risk of malfunction of the lateral
airbags!
Such work must only be done by a
CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Maintaining and servicing
your E-MEHARI
The maintenance and servicing of your vehicle
must be carried out by a CITROËN authorised
repairer or a


qualified professional and in line
with the principles stated in the Maintenance
and Warranty Guide.
Washing precautions
Never wash the charging socket, the
traction battery or under the bonnet using
a
high pressure jet wash: risk of damage
to the electrical system.
Never wash the vehicle while it is
charging: risk of electric shock that could
cause death.
Cleaning the vehicle by the regular use
of a
high pressure car wash with rotating
brushes is not recommended.
Not recommended for care
of the bodywork
- Degreasing or cleaning the mechanical components under the body, parts with
hinges, exterior plastic panels using a
high
pressure jet wash or spraying products not
intended for this purpose, such as solvents.
-

W
ashing the vehicle in direct sunlight.
-

R
emoving mud or stains without first
soaking with water.
Recommended for care of
the bodywork
- Washing your E-MEHARI regularly using car shampoo specifically created for the
care of vehicles with plastic body parts
(never with abrasive products).
-

R
insing and thoroughly hosing off as
soon as possible resinous deposits from
trees, fallout from industrial pollution and
bird droppings which produce a


chemical
reaction with the bodywork causing rapid
discolouration. Only the seats, covered with an impermeable
material, and the floor can be washed using
a
water jet (check first that the drainage holes,
located at the front on each side of the central
console in the passenger footwells are not
blocked).
Care of interior trim
Stains should always be dealt with quickly.
For all types of stain, you should use warm or
cold soapy water based on natural soap.
Detergents (washing up liquid, powder
products, alcohol-based products, etc.) must
not be used.
-

U
se a soft cloth.
-

R
inse and absorb the excess.
-

F
