CITROEN E-MEHARI Handbook page 7

Precautions related to high
voltage
Your E-MEHARI uses a high voltage
battery that can reach 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.
For more information on High voltage
safety, refer to the corresponding section.
Never dismantle, remove, replace or
handle the high voltage components,
cables and connectors as they can cause
serious burns and an electric shock which
could cause serious or fatal injuries.
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.
Precautions related to road
accidents
In the event of 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.
- Carry out 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
cables are visible, whether you are 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. To
extinguish the fire, use an extinguisher
specially designed for electrical fires of
the ABC, BC or C type. Use of water or
the wrong type of extinguisher may cause

serious or even fatal injuries due to electric
shock.
- If your vehicle has to be recovered,
call a CITROËN authorised repairer or
a qualified professional and have the front
wheels lifted. If the vehicle is towed with
the front wheels on the ground, the traction
motor may 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.
