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.

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.
A non-authorised key ring results in the

access to the passenger compartment by
the emergency services more difficult in
an emergency.
Back-up procedure
In the event of a malfunction of the RFID
r eader, you can lock or unlock your vehicle
using the key.
Unlocking with the key
Turn the key in the driver's door lock towards
the front of the vehicle to unlock.
Unlocking with the key does not enable
your authorisation to start the vehicle.

the vehicle.
Children could operate the switches and
controls.
Unsuper vised children run the risk of
a
serious accident.
