In order to offer its optimum range,
your E-MEHARI's LMP® batter y must
be charged whenever possible,
par ticularly during periods when it is
parked for several hours.
A batter y charged to 100% cannot
remain parked for more than 48
hours
without being recharged.
Due to its intrinsic characteristics,
and in contrast to Li-ion batteries, the
LMP
® battery is not sensitive to exterior
temperature conditions.
The vehicle's range has been type-approved
in accordance with European Regulation ECE
101R01.
For more information on the ser vice life of the
LMP
® battery, contact your CITROËN customer
services. IT IS PROHIBITED to recycle or scrap the
LMP
® battery from your E-MEHARI. The
LMP® battery is the property of Bluecar
and must never be discarded.
To help you charge your E-MEHARI's
LMP
® battery correctly, Bluecar may
contact you to tell you that the charge
level is becoming too low.
Driving with a discharged LMP®
battery
When the level of charge of your LMP® battery
becomes too low (20%): a warning lamp
appears on the upper screen of the dashboard.
Your E-MEHARI must be connected to
a

charging point that meets CITROËN's
specifications without delay.
The distance that your E-MEHARI can cover
will be very limited and the output from the
motor (the torque) will be automatically reduced
to increase the potential range.
To charge the LMP
® battery, the vehicle has to
be connected to a

power supply. To improve its
range, your E-MEHARI has an energy recovery
system using the braking effect of the electric
motor on deceleration.
Your E-MEHARI is a
vehicle that emits no
polluting gases, such as CO
2, nor micro-
particles. Your E-MEHARI is also completely
silent.
The LMP® (Lithium Metal
Polymer) battery
Your E-MEHARI contains a high
v oltage LMP® battery isolated from its
surroundings by its unique packaging
arrangement. The LMP
® battery must
only be handled by trained and qualified
persons. Never handle the LMP
® battery
yourself: risk of severe burns, electric
shock that could cause serious or fatal
injuries and risks for the environment.
NEVER HANDLE THE LMP
® B AT T E RY
YOURSELF.
Precautions on the use of the
LMP® battery
To avoid damaging the LMP® battery, it is
recommended that:
•

T

he vehicle be placed on charge straight
away if the charge indicator drops to 0%.
•

T

HE LMP® BATTERY NEVER BE USED
FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE.

Use the hazard warning lamps only to
signal unusual action on your part and
only if your vehicle presents a safety
risk to other drivers: an emergency stop
because of a
vehicle failure, the need to
drive abnormally slowly, etc...
While the hazard warning lamps are on,
your E-MEHARI's direction indicators can
no longer be used to indicate changes of
direction.
Horns and audible
warnings
" Standard " horn
To use the "standard" horn: press the central
hub of the steering wheel.
Horn for pedestrians
Operation
Your E-MEHARI produces no noise from its
electric motor.
It has a
special horn for warning pedestrians of
your approach.
This horn sounds when the vehicle's speed is
between approximately 0.6
and 18 mph (1 and
30


km/h).
Deactivation
In certain driving conditions you can deactivate
the system.
Make a
short press on the end of the wiper

Another press reactivates the system.
Before deactivating the system, make
sure that you are not driving in an area
frequented by pedestrians. The system is reactivated automatically at
every new start.
Audible warning emergency
services
Your E-MEHARI has an audible warning
system should there be a
problem with the
LMP
® battery fitted to the vehicle. A message
also appears on the dashboard instrument
panel.

indicators on your E-MEHARI , refer to the
corresponding section.
If operation of this system is triggered (the
audible warning cannot be switched off), you
must stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so, get out of the vehicle, and call CITROËN
ASSISTANCE.
Please tell the call handler that your
vehicle is an electric vehicle.
