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

Check the tyre pressures regularly and
always observe the inflation pressures
indicated above.
Low tyre pressures can cause
premature wear of the tyres and
introduce the risk of the tyres bursting.
The tyre pressures must be checked
with the tyres cold and adjusted if
necessary. Replace worn tyres only by tyres of

Temporary puncture repair kit
Access to the repair kit
You E-MEHARI's puncture repair kit (1) is
located under the boot floor hatch.
The boot floor hatch is opened with the grip (2)
(only if your E-MEHARI is only unlocked using
your personal RFID key ring). Never remove from a tyre the foreign
body that has caused the puncture.
The sealant product held in the
compressor is toxic and is an irritant.
Never ingest it, never spray it onto the
body, face or eyes.
In the event of ingestion, call the
emergency services (fire, ambulance...)
or go to Accident & Emergency
services.
If it enters the eyes, wash with abundant
clean water and consult a doctor
without delay.
If the symptoms persist, consult a
specialist.
Keep the sealant product out of the
reach of children.
Using the puncture repair kit
Refer to the instructions provided with the
compressor.
Do not simply throw the old cartridge
