Manual parking brake
Always check that your manual parking
brake is applied before leaving the vehicle.
When parking on a slope, turn the front
wheels into the kerb, apply the parking
brake and switch off at the starting switch.
Check that the parking brake is released
before moving off.
Not releasing the parking brake could
result in its failure and cause an accident.
Never release the parking brake from
outside the vehicle. Never leave children unsuper vised inside
the vehicle.
They might release the parking brake and
cause an accident.
Only release the brake pedal once the
parking brake has been fully applied.
Failure to apply the parking brake could
allow the vehicle to move on its own and
cause an accident.
In very cold conditions, the manual
parking brake could freeze and be
impossible to release.
Applying the parking brake
To apply the manual parking brake and
immobilise your vehicle, pull the lever (1)
fully
up. An indicator lamp appears in the
instrument panel once the parking
brake is applied.
Releasing the parking brake
Loose objects on the driver's side floor
may inhibit or prevent operation of the
pedals and cause loss of control of the
vehicle, increasing the risk of serious or
fatal injuries.
To release the manual parking brake:
1.Pull slightly on the lever (1) .
2. Press the release button (2) .
3. Lower the lever fully.
Once the parking brake is completely released,
the indicator lamp goes off in the instrument
panel.

Drive selector
(1)Drive selector.
Selector modes
(N)"NEUTRAL" position: no drive engaged.
(D) "DRIVE" position: for ward.
(R) "REVERSE" position: reverse.
It is essential to keep the brake pedal applied
when changing selector position. Do not press the accelerator pedal when
moving the selector lever from position "N"
to position "D" or "R". All changes of drive selector position must
be made with the vehicle stationary.
Failure to follow this advice leads to the
risk of an accident.
Do not change drive direction with the
selector when the accelerator pedal is
pressed down.
This can cause the vehicle to move off
suddenly and cause an accident.
Electric power steering
system
If this warning lamp is visible on
your E-MEHARI's instrument
panel: your E-MEHARI's power
steering has a


technical problem.
If this happens, you must contact
CITROËN ASSISTANCE as soon as
possible.
It is recommended that the vehicle not be
used while this warning lamp is on: you
could lose control of your vehicle, cause
an accident and be injured. The electric power steering system is designed
to provide power assistance to the steering
when parking or driving at low speed so that
you can manoeuvre the vehicle with less effort.
When driving in town, the level of electric
assistance can be increased by using the City
function.
To activate the City function, press the control
button.
With the City function activated, the
CIT Y indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel of your E-MEHARI.
To deactivate the City function: press the
control button again. The green "City" indicator
lamp goes off.
The City function is switched off automatically
when the ignition is switched off.

Starting the charge
To start charging, the ignition must be
switched off, the car must be unlocked
with the RFID key ring, and the parking
brake activated.
1. Connect the plug (1) to a
230 V/16 A socket
that can support a
continuous current of 10
A. All the LEDs on the control unit light up
for half a
second then the POWER warning
lamp lights up permanently. 2.
Open and hold open the vehicle's charging
socket panel (on the right-hand rear wing).
Ensure that there is no foreign body in the
connector terminals or the charging plug.
3. Push the charging nozzle (2) into the
charging socket until it clicks in place. The
indicator lamp on the charging shut-off
button (1) starts to flash.

Practical information

Under the bonnet
The underbonnet of the vehicle is
a dangerous area that could cause
serious injuries.
Under the bonnet of your E-MEHARI there
are the vehicle's drive train and the reser voirs
containing the fluids needed for the correct
operation of your E-MEHARI (brake fluid,
coolant and screenwash fluid).
The drive train is directly powered by the
LMP
® battery fitted to your E-MEHARI.
Never try to do anything to the high
voltage components of your vehicle.
Incorrect handling of these components
could cause an electric shock and serious
or fatal injuries.
Always keep children well away from
the underbonnet and never leave them
unsupervised.
Opening the bonnet
Your E-MEHARI's bonnet is opened in two
steps:
1. Releasing the bonnet: Pull the bonnet
release lever (1) located below and to the
left of the steering wheel, at the vehicle's
left-hand front wheel arch. 2.
Tip the bonnet safety catch (1) . Raise and
secure the bonnet using the stay (2) .
The bonnet stay goes into the red cut-out (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.
Closing the bonnet
Disengage the stay while holding the bonnet
with one hand to avoid its sudden dropping.
Practical information

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.
Underbonnet layout
(1)Drive train
(2) Your E-MEHARI's heating system
(3) Motor coolant
Return the stay to its original position and allow
the bonnet to drop and latch home.
Check that the bonnet has latched correctly.
There are high voltage components under
the bonnet of your E-MEHARI.
We recommend that you do not attempt
to per form maintenance on your vehicle
yourself.
Incorrect handling of these components
could cause an electric shock and serious
or fatal injuries.
Brake fluid and motor
coolant levels
Make a regular visual check of the brake fluid
an d coolant levels.
These levels should be topped up by
a
CITROËN authorised repairer or a qualified
professional.
If work is needed on your vehicle, contact
a
CITROËN authorised repairer or
a


qualified professional without delay.

the order indicated before carrying out any
operations under the bonnet of your E-MEHARI
to top up the screenwash fluid level:
1.Park the vehicle in a
safe place
2. Press and hold the brake pedal in this
position until you have switched off the
ignition
3. Apply the parking brake fully
4. Move the drive selector to position "N"

Braking system
Your E-MEHARI has two braking systems:
- A n energy recovery braking system
-

A h
ydraulic 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
operate.
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 lose grip and lead to an accident and
serious injuries.
