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

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

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…).

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.

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

nergy recovery braking system
-
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.
