Coming out of hibernation mode

Do not connect the vehicle before step 
5 and carry out each step in order.

1.

  Position the hibernation key in the switch. 

Turn it to the left.

2.

  Check the message displayed: the screen 

asks you to turn the key.

3.

  Turn the ignition key to the first position. The 

vehicle wakes up.

4.

  Switch off and remove the ignition key. The 

screen display is then as shown,

5.

  Plug in the charging cable.

Check for the rapid flashing of the green LED, 
confirming that the battery is charging.

Leave your vehicle on charge for the period 
displayed so that it is 100% operational.

Never disconnect the charging cable 
while the green LED is flashing rapidly 
(a minimum of 4 hours).

You have to be in possession of the 
charging cable and be able to connect 
your vehicle to a power supply to 
be able to wake the vehicle from 
hibernation.

Wait a few seconds. The hazard warning lamps 
flash several times and the boot locks and 
unlocks.

Audio system

The audio unit

Your E-MEHARI is pre-wired to receive an 
audio unit with ISO connectors.

The speakers

Your E-MEHARI is fitted with two speakers 
for playing music and communicating with 
CITRÖEN ASSISTANCE.

(1)

 Audio unit housing (available as an 

accessory)

(2) 

Speaker position

Bluetooth system

A Bluetooth audio system is already installed in 
your vehicle. The vehicle is handed over to you 
with the remote control for the system, as well 
as a remote control holder that you can fix to 
the dashboard.
The system allows you to:
-  Play music on an audio player or 

smartphone connected by Bluetooth, or a 
USB peripheral device connected to the 
port in the centre console (see page 47).

-  Make and receive telephone calls by 

Bluetooth connection in hands-free mode, 
using the microphone and speakers 
installed in your E-MEHARI.

For more information on use, please refer to

Identification markings / Vehicle VIN

number

A vehicle's VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is a code allowing the identification of individual 
vehicles.
The VIN can be found in three places on your E-MEHARI :
●  The central front crossmember
●  The right-hand front chassis leg
●  The rear crossmember

The LMP

®

 battery

This LMP

battery stores, for an equivalent

weight, five times more energy than a 
traditional battery and can be recharged in a 
few hours.
The range of the vehicle has been type-
approved to European Regulation ECE 101R01.
The LMP

®

 battery is made only of non-polluting 

materials.
At the end of its life, the LMP

®

 battery will be 

collected and all of its components will be 
recycled or reused.

battery must only be handled by trained and qualified persons.

On-board charger

To make your E-MEHARI as versatile as 
possible, it has its own internal charger.
Your E-MEHARI can be charged from any 
power point; the charger transforms the supply
to suit the LMP

Range

The range of the vehicle has been type-
approved to European Regulation ECE 101R01.
In real use, several factors will vary the range 
of an electric vehicle; you have some control
over these and so can make noticeable 
improvements in the range.

These factors are:
●  speed and driving style
●  road profile
●  temperature settings
●  tyres
●  use of electrical accessories
●  vehicle loading

Advice
●  drive at constant speed
●  adapt your driving style to avoid heavy

energy consumption

●  make use of energy recovery: anticipate

early the slowing of traffic by taking 
your foot off the accelerator or braking 
progressively

Speed and driving style

High speed reduces the range of the vehicle.
Sporty driving reduces the range of the vehicle: 
adopt a smooth driving style.

Road profile

On a hill, rather than trying to maintain your 
speed, do not depress the accelerator pedal 
more than on level ground: rather, keep the 
accelerator pedal in the same position.

Temperature setting

Using the heating or air conditioning reduces 
the range of the vehicle.

Tyres

Low tyre pressures increase energy 
consumption.
Observe the tyre pressures recommended for 
your vehicle.
When replacing tyres, give preference to tyres 
of the same brand, size, type and structure as 
the original fitment.
Using tyres of different characteristics 
significantly reduces the range of the vehicle.

Vehicle loading

Avoid carrying unnecessary loads in or on the 
vehicle.

assistance

Braking system

Your E-MEHARI is fitted with two braking 
system:
-  An energy recovery braking system
-  A hydraulic 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 
intervene.

Hydraulic braking system

The hydraulic braking system is similar to that 
used on conventional vehicles.

When driving on slippery surfaces, take 
care when braking and accelerating.
Sudden braking could cause the wheels 
to loose grip and lead to an accident 
and serious injuries.
