Starting the charge
To start charging, the ignition must be
switched off, the car must be unlocked
with the RFID key ring, and the parking
brake activated.
1. Connect the plug (1) to a
230 V/16 A socket
that can support a
continuous current of 10
A. All the LEDs on the control unit light up
for half a
second then the POWER warning
lamp lights up permanently. 2.
Open and hold open the vehicle's charging
socket panel (on the right-hand rear wing).
Ensure that there is no foreign body in the
connector terminals or the charging plug.
3. Push the charging nozzle (2) into the
charging socket until it clicks in place. The
indicator lamp on the charging shut-off
button (1) starts to flash.

Practical information

Under the bonnet
The underbonnet of the vehicle is
a dangerous area that could cause
serious injuries.
Under the bonnet of your E-MEHARI there
are the vehicle's drive train and the reser voirs
containing the fluids needed for the correct
operation of your E-MEHARI (brake fluid,
coolant and screenwash fluid).
The drive train is directly powered by the
LMP
® battery fitted to your E-MEHARI.
Never try to do anything to the high
voltage components of your vehicle.
Incorrect handling of these components
could cause an electric shock and serious
or fatal injuries.
Always keep children well away from
the underbonnet and never leave them
unsupervised.
Opening the bonnet
Your E-MEHARI's bonnet is opened in two
steps:
1. Releasing the bonnet: Pull the bonnet
release lever (1) located below and to the
left of the steering wheel, at the vehicle's
left-hand front wheel arch. 2.
Tip the bonnet safety catch (1) . Raise and
secure the bonnet using the stay (2) .
The bonnet stay goes into the red cut-out (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.
Closing the bonnet
Disengage the stay while holding the bonnet
with one hand to avoid its sudden dropping.

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.

Return the stay to its original position and allow
the bonnet to drop and latch home.
Check that the bonnet has latched correctly.
There are high voltage components under
the bonnet of your E-MEHARI.
We recommend that you do not attempt
to per form maintenance on your vehicle
yourself.
Incorrect handling of these components
could cause an electric shock and serious
or fatal injuries.
Brake fluid and motor
coolant levels

an d coolant levels.
These levels should be topped up by
a
CITROËN authorised repairer or a qualified
professional.
If work is needed on your vehicle, contact
a
CITROËN authorised repairer or
a


qualified professional without delay.

Always per form the following operations in
the order indicated before carrying out any
operations under the bonnet of your E-MEHARI
to top up the screenwash fluid level:
1.Park the vehicle in a
safe place
2. Press and hold the brake pedal in this
position until you have switched off the
ignition
3. Apply the parking brake fully
4. Move the drive selector to position "N"
5. Switch off the ignition and remove the key
from the switch
6. Keep children and other persons away
from the underbonnet
7. Ensure that the vehicle is correctly
immobilised

Braking system
Your E-MEHARI has two braking systems:
- A n energy recovery braking system
-

A h
ydraulic braking system
Energy recovery braking
system
The level of regeneration braking helping the
hydraulic braking depends on the state of
charge of the LMP
® battery.
If the state of charge of the LMP® battery is
100%, the energy recovery braking does not
operate.
Hydraulic braking system
The hydraulic braking system is similar to that
used on conventional vehicles.
When driving on slippery sur faces, take
care when braking and accelerating.
Sudden braking could cause the wheels
to lose grip and lead to an accident and
serious injuries.
