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.

Exterior lighting and
signalling
Exterior lighting
Your E-MEHARI is provided with different types
of exterior lighting: daytime running lamps,
sidelamps, dipped beam headlamps, main beam
headlamps, a reversing lamp and a
rear foglamp.
(1) Sidelamps (daytime running lamps)/
direction indicators/dipped beam headlamps/
main beam headlamps. (1)
Rear sidelamps/brake lamps/direction
indicators.
(2) Rear foglamp (left-hand side).
(3) Reversing lamp (right-hand side).
Exterior lighting control
stalk
The exterior lighting control stalk on your
E-MEHARI is behind the steering wheel on the
left-hand side.
This control stalk is used to operate the exterior
lighting and the direction indicators.
The daytime running lamps and sidelamps
come on automatically every time the vehicle
is started. (1)
Headlamp dipping control, for switching
between dipped and main beam.
(2) Exterior lighting control.
Main lighting
Dipped beam headlamps
With the ignition on, place the
control in this position.

Headlamp dipping control
The headlamp dipping action of the lighting
control stalk can be used in two ways:
-
W
ith the vehicle started, pull the stalk briefly
toward you to flash the headlamps.
With the dipped beam headlamps
on: pull the stalk toward you to
change to main beam.
To change back to dipped beam: pull the stalk
toward you again.
Automatic illumination of
headlamps
When a low level of external light is
d etected by the sunshine sensor,
the number plate lamps, sidelamps
and dipped beam headlamps are
switched on automatically, without
any action on the part of the driver.
As soon as the level of light becomes sufficient
again, the lamps are switched off automatically.
Rear foglamp
To switch on the rear foglamp: Put the main control stalk in the
dipped beam position. Press the foglamp control button.
To switch off the foglamp: press the control
button again.
Using the foglamp is prohibited under
conditions of normal visibility, both day
and night.
In such conditions, the brightness of the
lamp could dazzle other drivers.
Do not forget to switch off your foglamp
once its use is no longer necessary.
