Ease of use and comfort

23
Never leave the seat backrest in the
reclined position while driving the vehicle;
the diagonal belt would not lie in an
effective position against the body.
Having the seat backrest in a reclined
position could increase the risk of serious
injury.
In the event of an accident, you could be
thrown against the belt and suffer injuries
to your neck or other serious or fatal
injuries.
Having the seat backrest in a
reclined
position also increases the risk of being
thrown for ward, slipping under the lap belt,
giving rise to serious internal injuries.
The seat backrest must be in the vertical
position to ensure effective protection
while driving.
It is essential to sit fully down in the seat
so that the lap seat belt is able to work
effectively in the event of an accident.
Driving with a


seat in the "sleeping"
position is prohibited.
Adjust the seat to your wishes with the
backrest reclined no more than necessary
for comfort. After adjustment, try to gently tip the seat
backrest back and for ward to ensure that
it has locked into position.

To switch off the air conditioning, press button
(5) again.
You can operate the automatic air recirculation
to increase the effectiveness and speed of the
air conditioning (no demisting/defrosting).
To be effective, the air conditioning should
only be used with the windows closed.
If the exterior temperature is below 19°C,
the instruction is received but the air
conditioning will not come on.
If the air flow setting is at minimum when
the air conditioning is switched on, the
system manages the air flow automatically
to optimise ventilation.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a
discharge of
water under the vehicle which is per fectly
normal.
Advice
Operate the air conditioning system at
least once a month to keep it in per fect
working order.Interior lighting

Power cut-off in the event
of an impact
In the event of an impact or accident, an impact
detection system on your E-MEHARI cuts off
the vehicle's high voltage power supply.
Anti-theft protection/
Electronic immobiliser
Your E-MEHARI is fitted with an electronic
immobiliser.
This immobiliser is directly linked to your
personal RFID key ring.
Only your personal RFID key ring gives
authorisation to use your E-MEHARI.Check that your key is at the STOP
position of the starting switch or removed
from the starting switch before locking
your E-MEHARI.
Assistance call
Your E-MEHARI is equipped with an assistance
call control button.
This ser vice puts you in 24/7 contact with an
adviser trained to help you take the appropriate
action and who will have answers for situations
where you may encounter problems.
The assistance call button is connected to
a
hands-free communication system, allowing
you to remain attentive while driving your
vehicle.
To call CITROËN ASSISTANCE or end the call,
press the assistance call button.
If you receive a
call while you are in the vehicle,
the system answers it automatically.
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 do not inter vene
in 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 watchful for sudden events that
could occur while driving).
ABS (anti-lock braking
system)
The ABS prevents locking of the wheels under
heavy braking, so optimising the stopping
distance and allowing control of the vehicle to
be retained.
In these conditions, avoidance manoeuvres
during braking are therefore possible.
In addition, this system optimises the stopping
distance on sur faces offering poor grip (wet
roads, etc.).
Safety

37
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 obser ved (distance between vehicles,
e t c .) .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 (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
CITROËN authorised repairer or a qualified
professional without delay.
ESP
This system helps retain control of the vehicle
in "critical" driving situations (avoiding an
obstacle, loss of grip in a
corner, etc.).
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 motor 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 it is called on to maintain grip.
If it comes on when driving, it signals a
fault
in the ESP system: contact a
CITROËN
authorised repairer or a
qualified professional
without delay.
Seat belts
Your E-MEHARI is fitted with four 3 -point seat
belts:
-

O
ne for the driver's seat.
-
O

ne for the front passenger's seat.
-

T
wo for the rear bench seat.
To correctly position a
seat belt: place the lap
strap as low as possible on your hips, correctly
adjusted.
Ensure that the diagonal belt passes over your
shoulder.
All persons carried in your E-MEHARI
must always wear a
seat belt.

Safety

38
Never leave children unsuper vised 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
neck were to retract or lock, the child
could be seriously injured or killed.
This can happen even with the vehicle
stationary.
If this scenario occurs, cut the safety belt
as quickly as possible in order to free the
child.
Before fastening the seat belts, check
that all of the backrests are vertical and
engaged in a


latched position.
Other wise, the occupants of the vehicle
could be seriously injured during an
accident or abrupt stop.
Never carry an infant or child on your lap
and never try to use your seat belt for both
of you.
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.
Fastening
To fasten the seat belt: insert the tongue into
the buckle on the corresponding seat and
ensure it locks correctly.
To unfasten the seat belt: press the orange
button marked "PRESS". The seat belt will be
released automatically.
Seat belt not fastened/
unfastened alerts
Front seat belts not fastened
alerts
The instrument panel includes seat belt
unfastened warning lamp A , as well as
unfastened seat belt identification warning
lamp B .
When the system detects an unfastened seat
belt, warning lamp A comes on, as well as the
corresponding dot(s) in warning lamp B .
When the ignition is switched on, warning
lamp A and the corresponding dots in warning
lamp B come on if the driver and/or front
passenger have not fastened their seat belts.
At a
speed above 12 mph (20 km/h), these
warning lamps flash, associated with an
audible signal, for two minutes. Beyond this
period of time, the warning lamps stay on
continuously until the seat belts are fastened.
