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.

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.
