Precautions in the event of
an electrical failure
In the event of a general electric failure,
your E-MEHARI will no longer be driven by
the
e
lectric
m
otor.

yo

u should place the vehicle in a safe area
observing the driving regulations on road safety
(hard shoulder, side of the road…).
Immobilise your E-MEHARI, switch on the
hazard warning lamps, get out of the vehicle
and stand in a safe place, put on your high-
visibility vest and call CITRÖEN ASSISTANCE,
who will contact the emergency and roadside
assistance services.
Special aspects of electric
vehicles
Be particularly aware of pedestrians, cyclists,
children and motorcyclists. Your E-MEHARI
is a silent vehicle and they may not hear you
coming, which could give rise to collisions. Notes

stem on deceleration. The main
purpose of energy recovery is to return
to the LMP
® battery some of the energy
generated when your vehicle is slowing
down, to improve the range of the LMP
®
battery and so the distance that can
be driven. In your E-MEHARI, it is the
braking effect of the electric motor that
plays this role.

and traffic conditions. Your E-MEHARI's
brakes do not allow energy recovery.
To avoid collisions with pedestrians, your
E-MEHARI is fitted with a special horn. This
special pedestrian horn allows you to announce
your approach in a friendly and less aggressive
way than would be the case with a conventional
horn (see page 24).
Before moving off, leave your foot on the brake
pedal until you are ready to drive. Before
leaving your E-MEHARI, don't forget to return
the drive selector to position "N", apply the
parking brake and switch off your vehicle.

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.
