ISOFIX mountings (child
seats)
(The legislation on carrying children is specific
to each country. Refer to the legislation in force
in your country.)
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 left-hand and right-hand
seating positions of the rear bench seat of your
E-MEHARI.
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-hand and right-hand
seating positions of the rear bench seat.
This system simplifies the installation and fixing
of a
child seat while improving the safety of the
installation at the same time. (1)
Locations of ISOFIX mountings.
(1) Location of the Top Tether rings 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
anchorage points.
Using a
child seat incompatible with the
ISOFIX standard may increase the risks
of an accident and injury for the child, but
also for other occupants of the vehicle.
Installation of a child
s eat compatible with the
ISOFIX standard
Failure to obser ve 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 carefully follow
the installation and fixing instructions
provided with the child seat.

Before installing a child seat, check that
t here is nothing that might inter fere with its
fixing to the two anchorage points.
You will not be able to correctly secure
a
child seat to the two anchorage 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.Visual indicators
Direction indicators
To operate the right-hand direction indicators:
push up the control stalk located on the left

The control stalk automatically returns to its
middle position once the change of direction
has been completed.Before changing direction, always signal
your intention well in advance, using the
direction indicators.
Before changing direction, check the
vehicle's immediate surroundings using
the mirrors, also taking account of the
blind spots. Poorly prepared changes of direction can
lead to collisions and accidents.
Hazard warning lamps
Press the hazard warning lamp button to warn
other drivers that you are in abnormal driving or
traffic conditions, or have to stop in an unusual
place.
When you press the hazard warning lamp
button, all of your E-MEHARI's direction
indicator lamps and the button indicator lamp
flash at the same time.
To switch off the hazard warning lamps: press
the button again.
In the event of stopping in an emergency,
always move your vehicle off the

Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your
hands on the wheel so that you are ready to
react at any time to any eventuality.
As a safety measure, the driver must only carry
out any operations that require close attention
when the vehicle is stationary.
On a
long journey, a break every two hours is
strongly recommended.
In bad weather, drive smoothly, anticipate the
need to brake and increase the distance from
other vehicles.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake applied
– Risk of overheating and damage to the
braking system!
Never leave a
vehicle unsuper vised with
the motor running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the motor running,
apply the parking brake and put the drive
selector into position N or P .
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the motor or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.
If you are obliged to drive through water:
-

c
heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 6
inches (15 cm), taking account
of waves that might be generated by other
users,
-

d
rive as slowly as possible. In all cases, do
not exceed 6
mph (10 km/h),
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt about the state of your vehicle,
contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Driving your E-MEHARI
Never leave a child or a disabled adult
w ho 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 than the
seat backrests.
A badly supported load may result in
serious physical injuries if there is an
abrupt stop or collision.
If the vehicle is not handled carefully and
in a
safe way, you risk losing control of it
and causing an accident.
