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.

Rear seat belts not fastened
alerts
Seat belts unfastened alert
When the ignition is switched on, with the
motor running or the vehicle driving above
6 mph (10 km/h), warning lamp A and the
corresponding dots in warning lamp B come on
for around thirty seconds, if one or more rear
passengers have not fastened their seat belts.
After the ignition is switched on, warning
lamp A and the corresponding dots in warning
lamp B come on if the driver and/or one or
more passengers unfasten their seat belts.
These warning lamps flash for 30
seconds,
accompanied by an audible signal. Beyond
this period of time, the warning lamps stay on
continuously until the seat belts are fastened.
Airbags
General information
This system contributes towards improving the
safety of passengers (with the exception of the
rear centre passenger) in the event of violent
collisions. The airbags supplement the action
of the seat belts fitted with force limiters (with
the exception of the rear centre passenger).
If a
collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
-
i
n the event of a serious impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and contribute
towards better protection of the passengers
(with the exception of the rear centre
passenger); immediately after the impact,
the airbags deflate rapidly so that they
do not hinder visibility or the exit of the
passengers,
-
i
n the case of a minor or rear impact or in
certain roll-over conditions, the airbags
may not be deployed; the seat belt
alone contributes towards ensuring your
protection in these situations.
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only deploy once. If
a
second impact occurs (during the same
or a
subsequent accident), the airbag will
not be deployed again.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
Airbag deployment generates slight
smoke emissions and a
noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight irritation.
The detonation noise associated with the
deployment of an airbag may result in
a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.

Safety
60
Obser ve the safety rules and follow the
steps indicated before use.
-
Us
e only the original charging cable.
-
D
o not attempt to dismantle or repair the
charging cable.
-
D
o not use an extension lead or adapter.
-
I
ncorrect use of the charging cable would
risk causing an accident such as an
electrical discharge or fire.
-
I
mmediately stop using the charging cable
if a
fault or problem occurs or if the FAULT
warning lamp lights up or flashes.
-
E
nsure that the plug is not allowed to
become wet.
-
D
o not touch the terminals on the charging
cable or the vehicle's charging socket.
-
D
o not use the charging cable if parts of
it are broken, frayed, cracked, open or
showing any other sign of damage.
-
K
eep the charging cable out of reach of
children.
-
W
hen using the charging cable, the
ambient temperature must not exceed
45
degrees Celsius.
-
H
andle the charging cable with care, avoid
dropping it and do not pull heavily on the
cable or the cord. The components of your E-MEHARI
comply with electromagnetic emission
standards. However, as a
precaution,
if you have a
pacemaker or any other
electrical medical device, ask your doctor
about any precautions to take.
-
E nsure that the electrical power supply is
220 -240 V 50 Hz alternating current.
-
B
efore connecting the charging cable,
check the nominal current indicated on
the charging cable, to ensure that the
power point and supply circuit are rated
sufficiently highly to charge your vehicle.
-
T
he charging cable allows 10 A of
continuous consumption, you must ensure
that the electrical installation (socket,
cables, etc.) for the charging have this
value of nominal current at a
minimum
and comply with the most recent electrical
cable standards and regulations in force in
your country or region.
-
T
he maximum nominal current depends
on the country.
-
T
he socket and wiring circuit must be
earthed and protected by a
circuit breaker
specifically designed for this purpose or
a
fuse to avoid any accident of electrical
origin.
-
C
ontact a qualified electrician if in any
doubt over the power point and wiring
circuit.
Practical information
61
Starting the charge
To start charging, the ignition must be
switched off, the car must be unlocked
with the RFID key ring, and the parking
brake activated.
1. Connect the plug (1) to a
230 V/16 A socket
that can support a
continuous current of 10
A. All the LEDs on the control unit light up
for half a
second then the POWER warning
lamp lights up permanently. 2.
Open and hold open the vehicle's charging
socket panel (on the right-hand rear wing).
Ensure that there is no foreign body in the
connector terminals or the charging plug.
3. Push the charging nozzle (2) into the
charging socket until it clicks in place. The
indicator lamp on the charging shut-off
button (1) starts to flash.
-
C
omponent parts may be damaged by
incorrect use.
-
E
nsure that the control unit of the
charging cable is placed so that any
contact with water is avoided.
-
A
void introducing any foreign bodies or
particles into the connector terminals
or charging plug.
-
A
void treading on, folding or knotting
the cable or cord.
-
A
void using the charging cable during
a
storm.
-
D
o not place heavy objects on the
charging cable.
-
W
hen charging, keep the charging
cable away from objects that become
hot.
-
W
hen the charging cable is not in
use, stow it with its protective cover in
a
cool, dry place that is not exposed to
direct sunlight.
-
D
o not use an extension lead with your
charging cable.
