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.

Folding rear bench seat
Your E-MEHARI has been type-approved as
a four-seat vehicle.
The rear bench seat is a
folding bench seat for
two people.
Only the backrest folds, the cushion remains
fixed.
Your E-MEHARI has been type-approved
for use on European roads carrying up to
4


people: the driver and three passengers.
You must never carry more than two
people on the bench rear seat.
Your E-MEHARI is fitted with 2
rear seat
belts.
Any additional passenger, who would
not be restrained, would risk serious or
fatal injuries and also risk injuring other
occupants of the vehicle.
Operation
Pull the controls (1) on each side of the bench
seat to release the latches (2) .
Fold the backrest (3) forward.
Adjusting the rear head
restraints
- To raise a head restraint: pull it up to the
desired position.
-

T
o lower a head restraint: push it down to
the desired position.
Never adjust the head restraints while the
vehicle is moving.
Take care not to trap the seat belts and
position the seat belt buckles correctly
before folding the backrest.
Steering wheel
(adjustment)
The height and reach of your E-MEHARI's
steering wheel are adjustable. Do not adjust the steering wheel while
driving the vehicle: this would risk causing
a
loss of control of the vehicle and could
lead to an accident.
Ease of use and comfort

25
Push the lever (1) up to release the locking
mechanism and then adjust the position of the
steering wheel.
Lower the lever (1) to lock the adjustment
mechanism in the desired position.
Before driving, check that the adjustment
mechanism is locked.
Mirrors
Your E-MEHARI has 3 mirrors:
- T wo exterior door mirrors.
-

A c
entral interior rear view mirror.
Door mirrors
The door mirrors (1) are adjustable manually.
Direct each mirror using the levers (2) .
Objects seen in the passenger's side door
mirror are closer than they appear.
Take care when changing direction toward
the nearside.
Using only the passenger's side door
mirror could cause accidents.
Make use of the interior rear view mirror
and the driver's side door mirror or look
behind to estimate distances correctly.
Rear view mirror
(3) Interior rear view mirror.
(4) Day/night mode control lever.
To adjust the interior rear view mirror: adjust
the angle of the mirror to the desired position
by hand.
Objects seen in the interior rear view
mirror are closer than they appear.
Only use the night position when
necessary.
It reduces the clarity of the mirror.

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.
(1) Sidelamps (daytime running lamps)/
direction indicators/dipped beam headlamps/
main beam headlamps. (1)
Rear sidelamps/brake lamps/direction
indicators.
(2) Rear foglamp (left-hand side).
(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
come on automatically every time the vehicle
is started. (1)
Headlamp dipping control, for switching
between dipped and main beam.
(2) Exterior lighting control.
Main lighting
Dipped beam headlamps
With the ignition on, place the
control in this position.

Lighting and visibility

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.

Lighting and visibility

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.
