Familiarisation with your E-MEHARI
Charging flap (access to the
charging socket)
The charging flap (1) on your E-MEHARI
cannot be locked.
Opening the charging flap gives access to the
socket for charging your E-MEHARI.
Your E-MEHARI uses the J1772
c

onnector
developed by the YAZAKI company.
This J1772 connector allows charging from
your domestic power supply, or using a wall box
installed at your home, or at a public charging
point compatible with this type of socket.
The RFID (Radio Frequency
IDentification) key ring
The personal RFID key ring for your E-MEHARI
is a personal key ring supplied to you at the
handover of your E-MEHARI.
Only this key ring allows you to use your
E-MEHARI.
It allows you to unlock the boot floor hatch and
the charging nozzle, and also to activate and
deactivate the electronic immobiliser fitted to
your E-MEHARI.
Unlocking your E-MEHARI
The personal RFID key ring reader (1) is
located on the windscreen, driver's side.
This personal RFID key ring reader commands
the electronic immobiliser on your E-MEHARI,
and unlocking of the boot floor hatch and
charging nozzle.
The personal RFID key ring reader only
responds to your personal RFID key ring.
To open your E-MEHARI and deactivate the
electronic immobiliser: offer up your personal
RFID key ring in front of the reader (1) located
on the windscreen, driver's side.

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.
