Presentation of your E-MEHARI

An elegant design using 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

vehicle.

Your E-MEHARI uses two different types of

battery: the LMP® battery to drive the vehicle

and a 12V battery, as on a conventional vehicle

with an internal combustion engine.

The 12V battery provides the energy needed

for operation of the vehicle's systems: the audio

system, the exterior and interior lighting, the

windscreen wiper.

To charge the LMP® battery, the vehicle has to

be connected to a power supply. To improve its

range, your E-MEHARI has an energy recovery

system using the braking effect of the electric

motor on deceleration.

Your E-MEHARI is a vehicle that emits no

polluting gases, such as CO2, nor micro-

particles. Your E-MEHARI is also completely

silent.

The LMP®(Lithium Metal

Polymer) battery

Your E-MEHARI contains a high

voltage LMP® battery isolated from its

surroundingsbyitsuniquepackaging

arrangement. The LMP® battery

must only be handled by trained and

qualifiedpersons.Neverhandlethe

LMP® battery: risk of severe burns,

electric shock that could cause serious

or fatal injuries and risks for the

environment.

NEVER HANDLE THE LMP®BATTERY.

Your E-MEHARI uses energy stored in a

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 complete charging cycle (from 0% to 100%)

from a normal domestic power supply (standard

charge) takes between 8 and 13 hours on

average, depending on the power supply.

Get to know your E-MEHARI

e-mehari_en_Chap01_faite-connaissance_ed02-2016

Precaution on the use of the

LMP®battery

Note

Byvirtueofitsintrinsicqualities,andunlike

Li-ion batteries, the LMP® battery is not

sensitive to the ambient temperature.

The vehicle must be connected to a power

supply when parked as otherwise the LMP®

battery can discharge over 2 days (with no

use of the vehicle).

IT IS PROHIBITED to recycle or scrap

the LMP® battery from your E-MEHARI.

The LMP® battery is the property of

Bluecar and must never be discarded.

The vehicle's range has been type-approved to

European Regulation ECE 101R01.

For more information on the service life of the

LMP® battery, contact your CITROËN customer

services.

To avoid damaging the LMP® battery, it is

recommended that:

● Thevehiclebeplacedonchargestraight

away if the charge indicator drops to 0%.

● NEVERUSETHELMP® BATTERY FOR

ANY OTHER PURPOSE.

Driving with a discharged LMP®

battery:

When the state of charge of the LMP® battery

drops to a low level (20%): a warning lamp

appears in the upper screen of the dashboard.

Your E-MEHARI must be connected to a

charging point that meets the CITROËN

specification without delay.

The distance your E-MEHARI can cover will

be very limited and the output from the motor

(thetorque)willbeautomaticallyreducedto

increase the potential range.

Get to know your E-MEHARI

e-mehari_en_Chap01_faite-connaissance_ed02-2016

Your E-MEHARI uses a high voltage

battery which can be up to 450 volts.

The temperature of the system can be

high during and after starting and when

the vehicle is switched off. Be aware of

the high voltage (see page 26).

Never dismantle, remove or replace the

high voltage components, cables and

connectors as they can cause serious

burns and an electric shock which could

cause serious or fatal injuries.

Precautions related to high

voltage

The high voltage cables are orange in colour.

There is no part of the high voltage system of

your E-MEHARI that can be replaced by the

user;thismustonlybedonebyaqualified

professional.

Take your E-MEHARI to a CITROËN

authorisedrepaireroraqualifiedprofessional

for all maintenance and repair of the vehicle's

high voltage system.

In the event of a collision

● If you can drive the vehicle: move the vehicle to the side of the road, put the drive

selector at position "N" (neutral), apply the manual parking brake and switch off your

E-MEHARI.

● Make a visual check of the condition of your E-MEHARI to verify that no high voltage

cable or component is visible. To avoid injury: never touch the cables, the connectors,

the charger, the LMP® battery or any other part of the high voltage system on your

E-MEHARI. You could suffer an electric shock if exposed cable conductors are visible,

whether inside or outside the vehicle. Never touch visible electric cables.

● If the vehicle has sustained a heavy impact to the floor: stop the vehicle in a safe

area and check the condition of your E-MEHARI's floor.

● If a fire has started in your E-MEHARI: get out of the vehicle immediately. Use a fire

extinguisher suitable for type ABC, BC or C fires of electric origin to put out the fire.

Using water or the wrong type of fire extinguisher can cause serious or fatal injuries

through electric shock.

● If your vehicle has to be recovered,callaCITROËNauthorisedrepairerorqualified

professional. Have the front wheels lifted as, if the vehicle is towed with the front wheels

on the ground, the traction motor can produce electricity. This can damage the systems

on your E-MEHARI and cause a fire.

● If you cannot safely check the condition of your vehicle because of the level of

damage sustained, do not touch your vehicle. Contact the emergency services and

specify that you have an electric vehicle. Inform the first to arrive at the scene of the

accident that it concerns an electric vehicle.

● In the event of an accident: you must contact a CITROËN authorised repairer or

a qualified professional who will send a person able to work on a damaged electric

vehicle.

● Observe the driving regulations on the safety of vehicles and third parties.

Precautions related to road traffic accidents

Get to know your E-MEHARI

e-mehari_en_Chap01_faite-connaissance_ed02-2016

Precautions in the event of

an electrical failure

In the event of a general electric failure,

your E-MEHARI will no longer be driven by

theelectricmotor.Asquicklyaspossible,

you should place the vehicle in a safe area

observing the driving regulations on road safety

(hard shoulder, side of the road…).

Immobilise your E-MEHARI, switch on the

hazard warning lamps, get out of the vehicle

and stand in a safe place, put on your high-

visibility vest and call CITRÖEN ASSISTANCE,

who will contact the emergency and roadside

assistance services.

Special aspects of electric

vehicles

Be particularly aware of pedestrians, cyclists,

children and motorcyclists. Your E-MEHARI

is a silent vehicle and they may not hear you

coming, which could give rise to collisions.

Notes

● YourE-MEHARIhasanenergyrecovery

system on deceleration. The main

purpose of energy recovery is to return

to the LMP® battery some of the energy

generated when your vehicle is slowing

down, to improve the range of the LMP®

battery and so the distance that can

be driven. In your E-MEHARI, it is the

braking effect of the electric motor that

plays this role.

● Specialcase:followingafullchargeof

the LMP® battery and during the initial

subsequentuseofthevehicle,the

braking effect of the electric motor may

be temporarily reduced. You should adapt

yourdrivinginconsequence.

● Wethereforerecommendthatyou

anticipate the need to slow down as much

as possible, so as to obtain the maximum

driving range.

● Thebrakepedalshouldbeusedtoslow

or stop the vehicle according to the road

and traffic conditions. Your E-MEHARI's

brakes do not allow energy recovery.

To avoid collisions with pedestrians, your

E-MEHARI is fitted with a special horn. This

special pedestrian horn allows you to announce

your approach in a friendly and less aggressive

way than would be the case with a conventional

horn (see page 24).

Before moving off, leave your foot on the brake

pedal until you are ready to drive. Before

leaving your E-MEHARI, don't forget to return

the drive selector to position "N", apply the

parking brake and switch off your vehicle.

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 connector

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.
