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.

locking button until a
padlock appears in the
instrument panel.
If one of the doors or the boot is open,

Driving with the doors locked could make
access to the passenger compartment by
the emergency services more difficult in
an emergency.

r eader, you can lock or unlock your vehicle
using the key.
Unlocking with the key

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

Ease of use and comfort

Power cut-off in the event
of an impact
In the event of an impact or accident, an impact
detection system on your E-MEHARI cuts off
the vehicle's high voltage power supply.
Anti-theft protection/
Electronic immobiliser
Your E-MEHARI is fitted with an electronic
immobiliser.
This immobiliser is directly linked to your
personal RFID key ring.
Only your personal RFID key ring gives
authorisation to use your E-MEHARI.Check that your key is at the STOP
position of the starting switch or removed
from the starting switch before locking
your E-MEHARI.
Assistance call
Your E-MEHARI is equipped with an assistance
call control button.
This ser vice puts you in 24/7 contact with an
adviser trained to help you take the appropriate
action and who will have answers for situations
where you may encounter problems.
The assistance call button is connected to
a
hands-free communication system, allowing
you to remain attentive while driving your
vehicle.
To call CITROËN ASSISTANCE or end the call,
press the assistance call button.
If you receive a
call while you are in the vehicle,
the system answers it automatically.
ABS – ESP
These systems are additional aids when
driving in critical situations, allowing the
behaviour of the vehicle to be adapted to
the driver's wishes.
However these systems do not inter vene
in place of the driver.
They cannot extend the vehicle's limits
and should not encourage you to drive
f a s t e r.
They cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance, or
the responsibility of the driver when
manoeuvring the vehicle (the driver must
always be watchful for sudden events that
could occur while driving).
ABS (anti-lock braking
system)
The ABS prevents locking of the wheels under
heavy braking, so optimising the stopping
distance and allowing control of the vehicle to
be retained.
In these conditions, avoidance manoeuvres
during braking are therefore possible.
In addition, this system optimises the stopping
distance on sur faces offering poor grip (wet
roads, etc.).
Safety

For more information on the Airbags,
refer to the corresponding section.
Deactivating the
passenger's front airbag
F Turn it to the OFF position.
F Remove the key, leaving the switch in this
position.
When the ignition is on, this warning
lamp comes on in the seat belt warning
lamps display screen. It stays on while
the airbag is deactivated.
To assure the safety of your child,
the passenger's front airbag must be
deactivated when you install a
rear ward
facing child seat on the front passenger
seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were deployed.
Reactivating the
passenger's front airbag
When you remove a rearward facing c hild
seat, with the ignition off , turn the switch to
the ON position to reactivate the airbag and so
assure the safety of your front passenger in the
event of an impact.
Only the passenger's front airbag can be
deactivated.
F With the ignition off , insert the key in the
passenger airbag deactivation switch.
