Adjusting the driver's seat and the passenger's seat
Never leave children unsupervised
inside the vehicle.
Children could operate the switches
and controls.
Unsupervised children run the risk of a
serious accident.
The seat belts must be correctly
adjusted.
The seat belts are more effective when
the passenger is seated fully back and
down in the seat.Adjusting the seat forward
and backward
Hold the lever up while sliding the seat for ward
or backward to the desired position.
Release the lever to lock the seat in position.
After adjusting the position of the seat, move
the seat for ward and backward slightly to check
that it has locked in place.Adjust the seats only when the vehicle
is stationary: otherwise the seats might
move out of position unexpectedly while
the vehicle is moving and lead to loss of
control of the vehicle.
Do not touch the moving parts while
adjusting the position of the seat, so as
to avoid the risk of injury or damage to
the vehicle.

Seat belts
All persons carried in your E-MEHARI
must always wear a seat belt.Never leave children unsupervised in
the vehicle playing with the seat belts.
Most current seat belts have an
automatic locking reel (ALR).
If a seat belt wrapped around a child's
elbow were to retract or lock, the child
could be seriously injured or killed.
This can happen even with the vehicle
stationary.

Before fastening the seat belts, check
that all of the backrests are vertical and
engaged in a latched position.
Otherwise, the occupants could be
seriously injured in the event of an
accident or sudden stop. Never carry an infant or child on your
lap and never try use your seat belt for
both you and them.
Take care not to prevent the correct
operation of the seat belts.
Never try to repair or modify the seat
belts yourself.
Any repair or modification to the seat
belts or their components must only be
done by a CITROËN dealer.
Your E-MEHARI is fitted with four 3 -point seat

General points on child
seats
Infants and children must be given
special protection.
The vehicle's seat belts are not suitable
for their size.
The diagonal part of the seat belt can
pass too close to their head or their
elbow, which can cause serious lesions
and serious injuries in the event of
sudden braking or an accident.
If the lap part of the seat belt is not
suitable for the size of your children, it
can introduce the risk of being thrown
for ward and so cause serious or fatal
injuries in the event of sudden braking
or an accident.
Always use safety restraint systems
appropriate for the size of your
children so as to provide the highest
level of safety for them when the vehicle
is moving.

ISOFIX mountings (child
seat s)*
ISOFIX is an ISO standard for child seat
mountings (ISO standard 13216 -1: 1999).
This system avoids the use of the vehicle's seat
belts for securing the child seat: two latches on
the child seat engage on two anchorage points
(1) positioned between the seat cushion and
backrest at the right and left seating positions
of the bench rear seat of your E-MEHARI.
(1) Locations of ISOFIX mountings.
(1) Location of the Top Tether ring for fixing the
upper strap. The ISOFIX standard is overseen by the
International Standards Organisation.
Always use child seats compatible with
this standard when using the dedicated
mounting points.
Using a child seat that is not compatible
with the ISOFIX standard could
increase the risk of accident and injury
for the child, as well as for the other
occupants of the vehicle.
The aim of the ISOFIX system is to facilitate
the installation of a child seat and its transfer
to another vehicle, while avoiding the problems
inherent in fixing systems that use the vehicle's
seat belts.
Your E-MEHARI is fitted with ISOFIX
mountings at the left and right seating positions
of the bench rear seat.
This system simplifies the installation and fixing
of a child seat while improving the safety of the
installation at the same time.
*
Th
e legislation on carrying children is specific
to each country. Refer to the legislation in
force in your country.

Failure to observe the instructions and
warnings related to the installation of
a child seat or child restraint system
would expose the child and the other
occupants of the vehicle to the risk of
serious injury in the event of a collision
or sudden braking.
Always use child seats that meet
the European standards and follow
scrupulously the installation and fixing
instructions provided with the child seat.
Before installing a child seat, check that
there is nothing that might inter fere with
its fixing to the two mounting points.
You will not be able to secure a child
seat to the two mounting points if they
are not clear of obstruction.A child restraint system in a vehicle
parked in the sun can become very hot.
Always check the sur face of the child
seat before placing the child in it, to
avoid any risk of injury.
The incorrect installation of a child seat
compromises the protection and safety
of the child and the occupants of the
vehicle in the event of a collision.

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:

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.
