ABS – ESP
These systems are additional aids when
driving in critical situations, allowing the
behaviour of the vehicle to be adapted
to the driver's wishes.
However these systems intervene
taking the place of the driver.
They cannot extend the vehicle's limits
and should not encourage you to drive
f a s t e r.
They cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance, or
the responsibility of the driver when
manoeuvring the vehicle (the driver
must always be alive to sudden events
that could occur while driving).Precautions
In an emergency, it is recommended that you
apply the brakes firmly and continuously.
It is not necessary to successively apply and
release the brakes (pumping the pedal).
The ABS will modulate the brake effort
applied.
ABS (anti-lock braking
system)
The ABS avoids locking the wheels under
heavy braking, so optimising the stopping
distance and allowing control of the vehicle to
be retained.
In these conditions, avoiding manoeuvres while
braking are possible.
In addition, this system optimises the stopping
distance on sur faces offering poor grip (wet
roads…).
ABS (warning lamp)
It comes on when the vehicle is switched on
and then goes off shortly after wards.
If it comes on when driving, it signals a fault in
the anti-lock braking system.
The braking system then operates as on
a vehicle not fitted with ABS. Contact a
CITROËN

ofessional without delay.
ESP
This system helps retain control of the vehicle
in "critical" driving situations (avoiding an
obstacle, loss of grip in a corner…).
Principle of operation
A steering wheel sensor provides information
on the trajectory wanted by the driver.
Other sensors around the vehicle measure the
actual trajectory.
The system compares the driver's wishes with
the actual trajectory of the vehicle, correcting
the latter if necessary by acting on certain
brakes and/or the engine power.
ESP (warning lamp)
It comes on when the vehicle is switched on
and then goes off shortly after wards.
The ESP warning lamp flashes in regulation
mode, when its is called on to maintain grip.
If it comes on when driving, it signals a fault
in the ESP: contact a CITROËN authorised
repairer

Operation of the system can be felt by vibration
in the brake pedal.
The ABS does not improve the "physical"
per formance possible, which depends on the
grip between the tyres and the road.
It follows that the normal safe driving practices
must be observed (distance between
vehicles…).

Driving

40
e-mehari_en_Chap02_conduite_ed02-2016
Never leave a child or a disabled adult
who usually needs help from others
alone in the vehicle.
Pets should not be left alone in the
vehicle.
Secure any loads in your vehicle so that
they cannot slide about.
Do not load the vehicle higher that the
seat backrests.
A poorly secured load could cause
serious injuries with sudden braking or
in a collision.
If the vehicle is not handled prudently
and in a safe way, you risk losing
control of it and causing an accident.
Driving your E-MEHARI
The following actions can increase
the risk of losing control of the
vehicle in the event of a loss of
pressure in a tyre:

ckly.
Note: The vehicle generally moves
toward, or pulls, in the direction of the
under-inflated tyre.
Never drive under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
The presence of alcohol or drugs in
your bloodstream reduces coordination,
slows reaction and impairs judgment.
Driving after taking alcohol or drugs
increases the risk of being involved in
an accident causing injuries, suffered
by yourself or inflicted on others.
Note also that, in the event of an
accident, the alcohol or drugs risk
increasing the severity of the injuries
suffered. Never take medicines that might affect
your ability to drive and control the
vehicle before setting off.
Never leave the starting switch in the
"MAR" position for a long period when
the vehicle is not being used.
This can reduce the range of the
vehicle.
When you stop your vehicle on a
rising slope, do not hold the vehicle by
pressing the accelerator.
Always use the brake pedal for this.

The drive train is powered directly
by the LMP® battery fitted to your
E-MEHARI.
Never try to do anything to the high
voltage components of your vehicle.
A mistake in handling these
components could cause an electric
shock and serious or fatal injuries.
The underbonnet of the vehicle is a
dangerous area that could cause serious
injuries.
Always keep children well away from
the underbonnet and never leave them
unsupervised.
Under the bonnet
Under the bonnet of your E-MEHARI can
be found the vehicle's drive train and the
reservoirs containing the fluid needed for the
correct operation of your E-MEHARI (brake
fluid, coolant and screenwash fluid).
Opening the bonnet
1. Releasing the bonnet: Pull the bonnet
release lever (1) located below and to the
left of the steering wheel, at the vehicles
left-hand front wheel arch.
Your E-MEHARI's bonnet is opened in two
steps:
The bonnet stay locates into the red cutout (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.

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.There are high voltage components
under the bonnet of your E-MEHARI.
We recommend that you should not
try to carry out the maintenance and
servicing of your vehicle yourself.
A mistake in handling these
components could cause an electric
shock and serious or fatal injuries.If work is needed on your vehicle,
contact a CITROËN
a

or

Closing the bonnet
Disengage the stay while holding the bonnet
with one hand to avoid it suddenly dropping.
Return the stay to its original position and allow
the bonnet to drop and latch home.
Check that the bonnet has latched correctly.

Screenwash fluid level
Before doing anything under the bonnet of your
E-MEHARI, to top-up the screenwash fluid,
carry out the following operations in the order
indicated:
1.
Pa
rk the vehicle in a safe place
2.
Pr

ess and hold the brake pedal in this
position until you have switched off the
ignition
3.
Ap

ply the parking brake fully
4.
Mov

e the drive selector to position
"

5.
Sw

itch off the ignition and remove the key
from the switch
6.
Ke

ep children and other persons away from
the underbonnet
7.
En

sure that the vehicle is correctly
immobilised
Failure to follow the list of operations
above risks causing serious injury. Always carry out the operations in the
order given and always observe the
safety recommendations.
In low temperatures, use a screenwash
fluid with sufficient protection against
freezing.
Always be extremely vigilant when
filling the screenwash reservoir and
take account of the general safety
recommendations mentioned in this
handbook.
To top-up the screenwash fluid: remove the cap
from the reservoir, place a funnel in the neck
of the reservoir and fill the reservoir up to the
"MAX" mark.

Braking system
Your E-MEHARI is fitted with two braking
system:
-
An e

-
A hy

draulic 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 sur faces, take
care when braking and accelerating.
Sudden braking could cause the wheels
to loose grip and lead to an accident
and serious injuries.
