Heating / Ventilation
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.

r: prolonged use of air recirculation can
cause misting of the windscreen and side
windows.
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.

The drive train is powered directly
by the LMP® battery fitted to your
E-MEHARI.
Never try to do anything to the high
voltage components of your vehicle.
A mistake in handling these
components could cause an electric
shock and serious or fatal injuries.
The underbonnet of the vehicle is a
dangerous area that could cause serious
injuries.
Always keep children well away from
the underbonnet and never leave them
unsupervised.
Under the bonnet
Under the bonnet of your E-MEHARI can
be found the vehicle's drive train and the
reservoirs containing the fluid needed for the
correct operation of your E-MEHARI (brake
fluid, coolant and screenwash fluid).
Opening the bonnet
1. Releasing the bonnet: Pull the bonnet
release lever (1) located below and to the
left of the steering wheel, at the vehicles
left-hand front wheel arch.
Your E-MEHARI's bonnet is opened in two
steps:
The bonnet stay locates into the red cutout (3)
provided for this purpose.
When opening the bonnet, ensure that
it is always supported by the stay, so
as to avoid any injury resulting from the
bonnet dropping.

Maintenance

54
e-mehari_en_Chap04_entretien_ed02-2016
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.There are high voltage components
under the bonnet of your E-MEHARI.
We recommend that you should not
try to carry out the maintenance and
servicing of your vehicle yourself.
A mistake in handling these
components could cause an electric
shock and serious or fatal injuries.If work is needed on your vehicle,
contact a CITROËN
a

uthorised repairer
or

Closing the bonnet
Disengage the stay while holding the bonnet
with one hand to avoid it suddenly dropping.
Return the stay to its original position and allow
the bonnet to drop and latch home.
Check that the bonnet has latched correctly.

Maintenance

57
e-mehari_en_Chap04_entretien_ed02-2016
Never wash the underbonnet, the
charging socket or the traction battery
using a high pressure jet wash: risk of
damage to the electrical system.
Never wash the vehicle while it is
charging: risk of electric shock that
could cause death.
Cleaning the vehicle by the regular
use of a high pressure car wash with
rotating brushes is not recommended.
Washing precautions
Not recommended for care
of the bodywork
● Degreasing or cleaning the mechanical components under the body, parts with
hinges, exterior plastic panels using a high
pressure jet wash or spraying products not
intended for this purpose, such as solvents

Going into hibernation
mode
Maximum hibernation period
according to the state of charge
of the battery
100%: 4 months
75% - 99%: 3 months
50% - 74%: 2 months
25% - 49%: 1 monthDo not put your E-MEHARI into
hibernation with a battery state of
charge of less than 25%.
Unlock your vehicle and disconnect the
charging plug.
Turn the ignition key to the first position, the
screen then displays:
Position the hibernation key in the switch
located below the drive selector, turn it to
the right and hold it in this position for a few
seconds.
The screen then displays: entry into hibernation
mode is confirmed.
Remove the hibernation key and the starter key.
The screen goes off after 30
s

econds.
Do not lock the vehicle.
Hibernation mode
Hibernation mode allows the consumption of
energy from the battery to be reduced to a
minimum.
In this way you can park your E-MEHARI,
not connected and with no consumption of
electrical energy, for several weeks or even
several months.
Coming out of hibernation mode takes 4
h

ours
and is followed by the charging time (a
maximum of between 8
a

nd 13
h
ours).
