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.

Ventilation/Heating
Air intake
Air entering the heating and ventilation system
follows different paths according to the settings
made by the driver or passengers.
Air circulating in the passenger compartment is
filtered and comes either from outside the vehicle
or is recirculated from inside the vehicle.
(1)Windscreen demisting/defrosting vents.
Recommendations on
ventilation and heating
Ventilation
Observe the following recommendations for the
ventilation system to be fully effective:
-

F
or a uniform distribution of air: take care
not to obstruct the air intakes at the bottom
of the windscreen or the nozzles, vents and
air outlets inside the vehicle.
-

G
ive preference to the intake of exterior air:
prolonged use of air recirculation can cause
misting of the windscreen and quarter
panels.
Heating
It operates directly on energy from your
E-MEHARI's LMP® battery.
Its use increases the vehicle's consumption of
electrical energy and reduces its range.
Remember to switch off the heating when it is
no longer needed. The ventilation and heating systems are more
effective when the vehicle is fully fitted with its
roof and sides.
Heating controls
With automatic air recirculation.
(1)
Air temperature control.
(2) Air flow control.
(3) Air distribution control.
(4) Air recirculation control.
(2)
Central air vents.
(3) Side air vents.
(4) Footwell air outlets.
(5) Heating and ventilation controls.
The control for:
-
a
ir temperature (1) is used to adjust the
temperature of the air delivered,
-

a
ir flow (2) is used to adjust the speed of the
booster air fan,
-

a
ir distribution (3) is used to choose
which air vents to use in the passenger
compartment,
-

a
ir recirculation (4) allows you to
limit odours, smoke and any external
unpleasantness entering your E-MEHARI's
passenger compartment.
Ease of use and comfort

28
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
Air conditioning (optional)
Heating and air

Switching on the air
conditioning
To switch on the air conditioning (T° > 19°C),
press button (5) and position the temperature
control (1) at blue.
An A /C indicator lamp appears in
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.
Ease of use and comfort

Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your
hands on the wheel so that you are ready to
react at any time to any eventuality.
As a safety measure, the driver must only carry
out any operations that require close attention
when the vehicle is stationary.
On a
long journey, a break every two hours is
strongly recommended.
In bad weather, drive smoothly, anticipate the
need to brake and increase the distance from
other vehicles.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake applied
– Risk of overheating and damage to the
braking system!
Never leave a
vehicle unsuper vised with
the motor running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the motor running,
apply the parking brake and put the drive
selector into position N or P .
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the motor or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.
If you are obliged to drive through water:
-

c
heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 6
inches (15 cm), taking account
of waves that might be generated by other
users,
-

d
rive as slowly as possible. In all cases, do
not exceed 6
mph (10 km/h),
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt about the state of your vehicle,
contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Driving your E-MEHARI
Never leave a child or a disabled adult
w ho usually needs help from others alone
in the vehicle.
Pets should not be left alone in the
vehicle.
Secure any loads in your vehicle so that
they cannot slide about.
Do not load the vehicle higher than the
seat backrests.
A badly supported load may result in
serious physical injuries if there is an
abrupt stop or collision.
If the vehicle is not handled carefully and
in a
safe way, you risk losing control of it
and causing an accident.
Driving

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
Make a regular visual check of the brake fluid
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
a


qualified professional without delay.

Replacing a fuse
Fuses under the bonnet
All maintenance on the vehicle's fuses must be
carried out by a
CITROËN authorised repairer
or a


qualified professional.
Your E-MEHARI is an electric vehicle that
includes systems operating at high voltage
and high currents. The maintenance
on the fuses under the bonnet of your
E-MEHARI must be carried out by
a


qualified person.
Incorrect handling could cause an electric
shock resulting in serious injury or death.
Fuses in the passenger
compartment
If an electric system is not working, check the
condition of the fuses. Remove the nut from the access cover
(1)
located below the passenger storage
compartment.
The tweezers for extracting fuses (1) are
located under the bonnet. To check and replace a fuse:
-
E
xtract the fuse using the tweezers (1)
-
S
lide it sideways to release it from the
tweezers
-
I
t is recommended not to use the free fuse
locations
-
D
o not forget to return the tweezers (1)
to
their holder
Check the condition of the fuse and, if
necessary, replace it with a new fuse,
which must be of the same rating as the
original fuse.
A fuse of too high a rating could cause
overheating of the electrical system (risk
of fire) if there were abnormal current
consumption in a circuit.

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.
