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.

Adjusting the driver's seat
and the passenger's seat
Never leave children unsuper vised inside
the vehicle.
Children could operate the switches and
controls.
Unsuper vised children run the risk of
a

serious accident.
The seat belts must be correctly adjusted.
The seat belts are more effective when
the passenger is seated fully back and
down in the seat.
Adjusting the seat forward
and backward
or backward to the desired position.
Release the lever to lock the seat in position.
After adjusting the position of the seat, move
the seat for ward and backward slightly to check
that it has locked in place.
Adjust the seats only when the vehicle
is stationary: other wise the seats might
move out of position unexpectedly while
the vehicle is moving and lead to loss of
control of the vehicle.
Do not touch the moving parts while
adjusting the position of the seat, so as to
avoid the risk of injury or damage to the
vehicle.
Adjusting the height of the
seat cushion
Operate the lever to raise or lower the rear part
of the seat to improve the ride comfort.
Adjusting the backrest
To recline the seat backrest, turn the knob to
the rear.
To straighten the backrest, turn the knob
forwards.
Hold the lever up while sliding the seat for ward

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

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.

(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

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.

33
Adjusting the headlamps
The headlamp beam height on your E-MEHARI
should be adjusted according to the load and
number of passengers in your vehicle, so as to
avoid causing a nuisance to other drivers.
Your E-MEHARI has a
thumbwheel for
adjusting the height of the beams.
Select the desired position using the headlamp
beam height adjustment control.
Use position "0" when driving without heavy
loads.
Wipers/Screenwash
Your E-MEHARI has two windscreen wipers.
To activate the wipers: turn the ring on the
control stalk located on the right behind the
steering wheel.
3
positions for the control:
-

P
osition 1: intermittent wipe.
-

P
osition 2: continuous wipe.
-

P
osition 3: fast continuous wipe.
Pushing the control stalk down gives a
single
wipe.
Operation of the screenwash: pull the wiper
control stalk towards you.
This action automatically operates the
windscreen wipers and the screenwash. In low temperatures, use a
screenwash
fluid with adequate protection against
freezing.
Do not operate the screenwash for more
than 30
seconds, as this could lead to
a
loss of visibility and cause an accident.
Do not operate the screenwash control
when the fluid reservoir is empty.
