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.

RFID (Radio Frequency
IDentification) personal
key ring
The personal RFID key ring is supplied to you
on handover of your E-MEHARI.
It is used to:
-
L
ock or unlock all the openings: the driver's
door, the passenger's door and the boot
flap.
-

A
ctivate or deactivate driving rights by
operating the electronic immobiliser
installed in your E-MEHARI.
-

L
ock or unlock the charging nozzle, as well
as the secure compartment located in the
boot. The personal RFID key ring reader (1)
is
located on the windscreen, driver's side.
The reader only responds to your personal
RFID key ring.Unlocking the vehicle
Present your personal RFID key ring in front
of the reader (1) located on the windscreen,
driver's side.
The indicator lamp on the reader flashes green
and the hazard warning lamps flash to confirm
the opening of the doors and the driving rights.
Locking the vehicle
With the ignition switched off and the ignition
key removed from the switch, present your
personal RFID key ring in front of the reader (1)
located on the windscreen, driver's side.
The indicator lamp on the reader flashes blue
confirming the complete locking of the vehicle. Always remove the ignition key from
the starting switch before locking your
E-MEHARI.
Otherwise, your vehicle will remain unlocked
and the immobiliser will not be set.
A non-authorised key ring results in the
reader indicator lamp coming on fixed red.

The recirculation of interior air is automatic
and is managed according to the exterior
temperature so as to optimise comfort.
It is possible to activate air recirculation
manually by pressing the control button.
The indicator lamp in the button then comes on.
Demisting/defrosting
To quickly raise the temperature in the
passenger compartment and direct air to the
windscreen and quarter panels, several actions
are necessary:
-
P
osition the controls for temperature
(1) , air flow (2) and distribution (3) at the
windscreen demisting/defrosting position.
-

D
o not use the air recirculation control (4) .
Advice
Reduce the air flow setting (2) as soon as
the higher speed is no longer necessary,
so as to limit the energy consumption of
your E-MEHARI and optimise its range.Automatic air recirculation

the instrument panel.
Automatic air recirculation
control
Your E-MEHARI has an air recirculation
control.
This air recirculation position is not to be used
continuously as it can cause misting.
As soon as you can: return to the exterior air
intake position or the central position if you
want more heating.

The screen goes off after 30 seconds.
T he switch to hibernation mode takes effect
after approximately 4


hours.
During this time, it is possible to cancel
switching to hibernation mode, as well as to
unlock or lock the vehicle.
Once this time has passed, your vehicle can no
longer be locked or unlocked.
If you intend to lock your vehicle, make sure to
take out your charging cable beforehand.
If the vehicle is to be put into hibernation
mode for a
long period, to prolong the ser vice
life of the 12
V ancillaries battery, you can
remove it or disconnect its (-) terminal.
Cancelling the switch to
hibernation mode
The switch to hibernation mode takes effect
after approximately 4 hours.
During this time, it is possible to cancel
switching to hibernation mode.
It will not necessarily be possible to use your
E-MEHARI right away (a long warm-up phase
may take place depending on the time between
starting hibernation and cancelling it).
If the screen displays "Standby – Connect the
plug" (with the vehicle logo circled in red), you
will not be able to start. Switch off the ignition
and connect your E-MEHARI.
Coming out of hibernation
mode
You have to be in possession of the charging
cable and be able to connect your vehicle to
a
power supply to be able to wake the vehicle
from hibernation. 1.
Press the settings button on the right of
the screen. The screen asks if you wish
to cancel the hibernation.
2. Press and hold the settings button
for 5 seconds to cancel the switch to
hibernation mode. It is imperative that you do not
disconnect the vehicle during the
warm-up phase.
After the warm-up phase, the charging of
the battery begins.
Wait until the charge level reaches 100%
before disconnecting your E-MEHARI.
Audio system
Radio
Your E-MEHARI is pre-wired to receive any
audio system with ISO connectors.
You can install the model of your choice.
However, as your E-MEHARI can only
accommodate one audio system, installing
a
new audio system means that the Bluetooth
audio system which is already fitted must be
disconnected. To come out of hibernation mode, simply
connect the charging cable.
It takes approximately 4
hours for the battery
to wake up.
During this warm-up phase, the indicator
lamp on the charging shut-off button and the
charging indicator lamp on the display flash
rapidly.
