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.

-

W
ith the ignition on, press the central
locking button until a
padlock appears in the
instrument panel.
If one of the doors or the boot is open,
automatic central locking does not occur:
the sound of the locks rebounding can be
heard.
Driving with the doors locked could make
access to the passenger compartment by
the emergency services more difficult in
an emergency.
Back-up procedure
In the event of a malfunction of the RFID
r eader, you can lock or unlock your vehicle
using the key.
Unlocking with the key
Turn the key in the driver's door lock towards
the front of the vehicle to unlock.
Unlocking with the key does not enable
your authorisation to start the vehicle.

the rear of the vehicle to lock it.
Check that the doors and boot are fully
closed.
Doors
Always look in your mirror and check the
blind spot for the approach of another
vehicle before opening your door.
Never leave children unsuper vised inside
the vehicle.
Children could operate the switches and
controls.
Unsuper vised children run the risk of
a


serious accident.

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

intake position or the central position if you
want more heating.
Ease of use and comfort

38
Never leave children unsuper vised in the
vehicle playing with the seat belts.
Most current seat belts have an automatic
locking reel (ALR).
If a seat belt wrapped around a child's
neck were to retract or lock, the child
could be seriously injured or killed.
This can happen even with the vehicle
stationary.
If this scenario occurs, cut the safety belt
as quickly as possible in order to free the
child.
Before fastening the seat belts, check
that all of the backrests are vertical and
engaged in a


latched position.
Other wise, the occupants of the vehicle
could be seriously injured during an
accident or abrupt stop.
Never carry an infant or child on your lap
and never try to use your seat belt for both
of you.
Take care not to prevent the correct
operation of the seat belts. Never try to repair or modify the seat belts
yourself.
Any repair or modification to the seat belts
or their components must only be done by
a
CITROËN dealer.
Fastening
To fasten the seat belt: insert the tongue into
the buckle on the corresponding seat and
ensure it locks correctly.
To unfasten the seat belt: press the orange
button marked "PRESS". The seat belt will be
released automatically.
Seat belt not fastened/
unfastened alerts
Front seat belts not fastened
alerts
The instrument panel includes seat belt
unfastened warning lamp A , as well as
unfastened seat belt identification warning
lamp B .
When the system detects an unfastened seat
belt, warning lamp A comes on, as well as the
corresponding dot(s) in warning lamp B .
When the ignition is switched on, warning
lamp A and the corresponding dots in warning
lamp B come on if the driver and/or front
passenger have not fastened their seat belts.
At a
speed above 12 mph (20 km/h), these
warning lamps flash, associated with an
audible signal, for two minutes. Beyond this
period of time, the warning lamps stay on
continuously until the seat belts are fastened.
Safety

Front airbags
This system protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a severe frontal
impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the
head and chest.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is
fitted in the dashboard under the glove box.
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the
passenger's front airbag if it is deactivated, in
the event of a
serious front impact to all or part
of the front impact zone A , in the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane
and directed from the front to the rear of the
vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the thorax
and head of the front occupant of the vehicle
and the steering wheel, driver's side, and the
dashboard, passenger's side, to cushion their
for ward movement.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp on the instrument
panel comes on, you must contact
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
The airbags may no longer be deployed
in the event of a
serious impact.
Lateral airbags
This system protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a severe side impact
to minimise the risk of injury to the chest,
between hip and shoulder.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest
frame, door side.
Deployment
The lateral airbag is deployed unilaterally in
the event of a severe side impact covering all
or part of side impact zone B , perpendicular
to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle
on a
horizontal plane and directed from the
outside towards the inside of the vehicle.
The lateral airbag inflates between the hip
and shoulder of the front passenger and the
corresponding door trim panel.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp on the instrument
panel comes on, you must contact
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system
checked.
The airbags may no longer be deployed in the
event of a
serious impact.
In the event of a
minor impact or bump on
the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle rolls
over, the airbags may not be deployed.
In the event of a
rear or front collision,
none of the lateral airbags are deployed.
Safety

49
Use the hazard warning lamps only to
signal unusual action on your part and
only if your vehicle presents a safety
risk to other drivers: an emergency stop
because of a
vehicle failure, the need to
drive abnormally slowly, etc...
While the hazard warning lamps are on,
your E-MEHARI's direction indicators can
no longer be used to indicate changes of
direction.
Horns and audible
warnings
" Standard " horn
To use the "standard" horn: press the central
hub of the steering wheel.
Horn for pedestrians
Operation
Your E-MEHARI produces no noise from its
electric motor.
It has a
special horn for warning pedestrians of
your approach.
This horn sounds when the vehicle's speed is
between approximately 0.6
and 18 mph (1 and
30


km/h).
Deactivation
In certain driving conditions you can deactivate
the system.
Make a
short press on the end of the wiper
control stalk.
Another press reactivates the system.
Before deactivating the system, make
sure that you are not driving in an area
frequented by pedestrians. The system is reactivated automatically at
every new start.
Audible warning emergency
services
Your E-MEHARI has an audible warning
system should there be a
problem with the
LMP
® battery fitted to the vehicle. A message
also appears on the dashboard instrument
panel.
For more information on the Instruments and
indicators on your E-MEHARI , refer to the
corresponding section.
If operation of this system is triggered (the
audible warning cannot be switched off), you
must stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so, get out of the vehicle, and call CITROËN
ASSISTANCE.
Please tell the call handler that your
vehicle is an electric vehicle.
Stay at least ten metres away from your
vehicle when an LMP
® battery warning
