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.

Operation of the system can be felt by vibration
in the brake pedal.
The ABS does not improve the "physical"
per formance possible, which depends on the
grip between the tyres and the road.
It follows that the normal safe driving practices
must be obser ved (distance between vehicles,
e t c .) .In an emergency, it is recommended that you
apply the brakes firmly and continuously.
It is not necessary to successively apply and
release the brakes (pumping the pedal).
The ABS will modulate the brake effort
applied.
ABS (warning lamp)
It comes on when the vehicle is switched on
and then goes off shortly after wards.
If it comes on when driving, it signals a fault in
the anti-lock braking system.
The braking system then operates as on
a
vehicle not fitted with ABS. Contact
a
CITROËN authorised repairer or a qualified
professional without delay.
ESP
This system helps retain control of the vehicle
in "critical" driving situations (avoiding an
obstacle, loss of grip in a
corner, etc.).
Principle of operation
A steering wheel sensor provides information
on the trajectory wanted by the driver.
Other sensors around the vehicle measure the
actual trajectory.
The system compares the driver's wishes with
the actual trajectory of the vehicle, correcting
the latter if necessary by acting on certain
brakes and/or the motor power.
ESP (warning lamp)
It comes on when the vehicle is switched on
and then goes off shortly after wards.
The ESP warning lamp flashes in regulation
mode, when it is called on to maintain grip.
If it comes on when driving, it signals a
fault
in the ESP system: contact a
CITROËN
authorised repairer or a
qualified professional
without delay.
Seat belts
Your E-MEHARI is fitted with four 3 -point seat
belts:
-

O
ne for the driver's seat.
-
O

ne for the front passenger's seat.
-

T
wo for the rear bench seat.
To correctly position a
seat belt: place the lap
strap as low as possible on your hips, correctly
adjusted.
Ensure that the diagonal belt passes over your
shoulder.
All persons carried in your E-MEHARI
must always wear a
seat belt.

Drive selector
(1)Drive selector.
Selector modes
(N)"NEUTRAL" position: no drive engaged.
(D) "DRIVE" position: for ward.
(R) "REVERSE" position: reverse.
It is essential to keep the brake pedal applied
when changing selector position. Do not press the accelerator pedal when
moving the selector lever from position "N"
to position "D" or "R". All changes of drive selector position must
be made with the vehicle stationary.
Failure to follow this advice leads to the
risk of an accident.
Do not change drive direction with the
selector when the accelerator pedal is
pressed down.
This can cause the vehicle to move off
suddenly and cause an accident.
Electric power steering
system
If this warning lamp is visible on
your E-MEHARI's instrument
panel: your E-MEHARI's power
steering has a


technical problem.
If this happens, you must contact
CITROËN ASSISTANCE as soon as
possible.
It is recommended that the vehicle not be
used while this warning lamp is on: you
could lose control of your vehicle, cause
an accident and be injured. The electric power steering system is designed
to provide power assistance to the steering
when parking or driving at low speed so that
you can manoeuvre the vehicle with less effort.
When driving in town, the level of electric
assistance can be increased by using the City
function.
To activate the City function, press the control
button.
With the City function activated, the
CIT Y indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel of your E-MEHARI.
To deactivate the City function: press the
control button again. The green "City" indicator
lamp goes off.
The City function is switched off automatically
when the ignition is switched off.
Driving

Under the bonnet
The underbonnet of the vehicle is
a dangerous area that could cause
serious injuries.
Under the bonnet of your E-MEHARI there
are the vehicle's drive train and the reser voirs
containing the fluids needed for the correct
operation of your E-MEHARI (brake fluid,
coolant and screenwash fluid).
The drive train is directly powered by the
LMP
® battery fitted to your E-MEHARI.
Never try to do anything to the high
voltage components of your vehicle.
Incorrect handling of these components
could cause an electric shock and serious
or fatal injuries.
Always keep children well away from
the underbonnet and never leave them
unsupervised.
Opening the bonnet
Your E-MEHARI's bonnet is opened in two
steps:
1. Releasing the bonnet: Pull the bonnet
release lever (1) located below and to the
left of the steering wheel, at the vehicle's
left-hand front wheel arch. 2.
Tip the bonnet safety catch (1) . Raise and
secure the bonnet using the stay (2) .
The bonnet stay goes into the red cut-out (3)
provided for this purpose.
When opening the bonnet, ensure that it
is always supported by the stay, so as to
avoid any injury resulting from the bonnet
dropping.
Closing the bonnet
Disengage the stay while holding the bonnet
with one hand to avoid its sudden dropping.
