If you notice when driving that the bonnet
is not closed correctly, slow down and
stop where it is safe to do so, and then
close the bonnet correctly.
Underbonnet layout
(1)Drive train
(2) Your E-MEHARI's heating system
(3) Motor coolant
Return the stay to its original position and allow
the bonnet to drop and latch home.
Check that the bonnet has latched correctly.
There are high voltage components under
the bonnet of your E-MEHARI.
We recommend that you do not attempt
to per form maintenance on your vehicle
yourself.
Incorrect handling of these components
could cause an electric shock and serious
or fatal injuries.
Brake fluid and motor
coolant levels

an d coolant levels.
These levels should be topped up by
a
CITROËN authorised repairer or a qualified
professional.
If work is needed on your vehicle, contact
a
CITROËN authorised repairer or

To top up the screenwash fluid: remove the cap
from the reser voir, place a funnel in the neck
of the reser voir and fill the reser voir up to the
"MAX" mark.
In low temperatures, use a
screenwash
fluid with adequate protection against
freezing.
Always be extremely vigilant when
filling the screenwash reservoir and
take account of the general safety
recommendations mentioned in this
handbook.
Hibernation mode
Hibernation mode allows the consumption
of energy from the battery to be reduced to
a


minimum.
In this way you can park your E-MEHARI, not
connected and therefore with no consumption
of electrical energy, for several weeks or even
several months.
Coming out of hibernation mode takes 4
hours
and is followed by the charging time (a
maximum of between 8
and 13 hours).
You cannot put your E-MEHARI into
hibernation with a
battery state of charge
of less than 25%.
Going into hibernation
mode
Maximum hibernation period
depending on the state of charge
of the battery
In hibernation, the battery will self-discharge by
between 0.5% and 1% per day.
Therefore, the maximum duration of
hibernation depending on the battery charge
level is:
100%: 4
months
75% – 99%: 3
months
50% – 74%: 2
months
25% – 49%: 1
month 2.
If necessary, unlock your vehicle and
disconnect the charging plug.
3. Turn the ignition key to the first position,
the screen then displays:
4. Press the settings button (1) on the
right of the screen. The screen displays
various possible choices.
5. Select "Extended dormancy" using the
arrows.
6. Press and hold the settings button for
5


seconds.
7. Switch off the ignition. Entry into
hibernation mode is confirmed.
1. Move your vehicle close to a
charging
point.

Temporary puncture
repair kit
Access to the repair kit
Your E-MEHARI's puncture repair kit is located
under the boot floor hatch.
The boot floor hatch is opened with the grip
located at the left-hand side of the boot floor
(only if your E-MEHARI is unlocked using your
personal RFID key ring).
Using the repair kit
Refer to the instructions provided with the
compressor.Never remove from a
tyre a foreign body
that has caused a puncture.
The sealant product contained in the
compressor is toxic and is an irritant.
Never ingest it, never spray it onto the
body, face or eyes. If it is ingested, call the emergency services
immediately (fire service, ambulance, etc.) or
go to a


hospital's emergency department.
If it enters the eyes, wash with abundant
clean water and consult a doctor without
d e l ay.
If the symptoms persist, consult a specialist.
Keep the sealant product out of the reach
of children.
Do not simply throw the old cartridge
away after use; take it to your CITROËN
authorised repairer or to a waste recovery
organisation that specialises in this type
of product.
Once the tyre has been repaired, go
to a
CITROËN authorised repairer or
a
qualified professional as soon as
possible.
If you are unable to obtain the desired
pressure after a
few minutes of operation
of the compressor, this means that the
tyre cannot be repaired.
Contact CITROËN ASSISTANCE who will
send a


roadside recovery agent.
Replacing a bulb
All maintenance on the vehicle's lamps must be
carried out by a
CITROËN authorised repairer
or a


qualified professional.
If a
headlamp has to be replaced on your
