2023 CITROEN E-MEHARI limited power

4
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.

To switch off the air conditioning, press button
(5) again.
You can operate the automatic air recirculation
to increase the effectiveness and speed of the
air conditioning (no demisting/defrosting).
To be effective, the air conditioning should
only be used with the windows closed.
If the exterior temperature is below 19°C,
the instruction is received but the air
conditioning will not come on.
If the air flow setting is at minimum when
the air conditioning is switched on, the
system manages the air flow automatically
to optimise ventilation.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a
discharge of
water under the vehicle which is per fectly
normal.
Advice
Operate the air conditioning system at
least once a month to keep it in per fect
working order.Interior lighting

(3) Courtesy lamp/Mood lighting
Your E-MEHARI's courtesy lamp comes on
automatically on opening the doors and goes
off when closing the doors or when you switch
the vehicle on.
Courtesy lamp
In this position, the courtesy lamp
comes on gradually:
-

w

hen the vehicle is unlocked,
-

w

hen the key is removed from the ignition,
-
w

hen opening a

door.
It switches off gradually:
-

w

hen the vehicle is locked,
-

w

hen the ignition is switched on,
-

3

0

seconds after the last door is closed. Permanently off.
Permanent lighting.
In permanent lighting mode, the lighting time
varies according to the circumstances:
-

w

hen the ignition is off, approximately ten
minutes,
-

i

n energy economy mode, approximately
thirty seconds,
-

w

ith the motor running, unlimited.
Before leaving the vehicle, check that the
courtesy lamp is no longer on.
This component is powered by the 12
V battery, which could be completely
discharged if it is left on.

Range
The vehicle's range has been type-approved to
European Regulation ECE 101R01.
In real use, several factors will vary the range
of an electric vehicle; you have some control
over these and so can make noticeable
improvements in the range.
These factors are:
-

s
peed and driving style
-
ro

ad profile
-
t

emperature settings
-
tyres
-

u
se of electrical accessories
-
v

ehicle loading
Speed and driving style
High speed reduces the range of the vehicle.
Sporty driving reduces the range of the vehicle:
adopt a smooth driving style.
Advice
-

d
rive at constant speed
-

a
dapt your driving style to avoid heavy
energy consumption
-

m
ake use of energy recovery:
anticipate the slowing of traffic early by
taking your foot off the accelerator or
by braking progressively
Road profile
On a hill, rather than trying to maintain your
s peed, do not depress the accelerator pedal
more than on level ground: rather, keep the
accelerator pedal in the same position.
Temperature settings
Using the heating or air conditioning reduces
the range of the vehicle.
Ty r e s
Low tyre pressures increase energy
consumption.
Observe the tyre pressures recommended for
your vehicle.
When replacing tyres, give preference to tyres
of the same brand, size, type and structure as
the original fitment.
Using tyres of different characteristics
significantly reduces the range of the vehicle.
Vehicle loading
Avoid carrying unnecessary loads in the
vehicle.
