Adjusting the driver's seat
and the passenger's seat
Never leave children unsuper vised inside
the vehicle.
Children could operate the switches and
controls.
Unsuper vised 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
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: other wise 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.
Adjusting the height of the
seat cushion
Operate the lever to raise or lower the rear part
of the seat to improve the ride comfort.
Adjusting the backrest
To recline the seat backrest, turn the knob to
the rear.
To straighten the backrest, turn the knob
forwards.
Hold the lever up while sliding the seat for ward
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.
Front head restraints
Adjusting a front seat head restraint:
- T o raise a head restraint, pull it upwards.
-

T
o remove the head restraint, press the lug
and pull the head restraint upwards.
-

T
o put it back in place, engage the head
restraint rods in the openings keeping them
in line with the seat backrest.
-

T
o lower it, press on the lug and on the head
restraint at the same time.
Never adjust the head restraints while the
vehicle is moving. Driving without the head
restraints in place is strictly prohibited. Before setting off, check that each
passenger's head restraint is present and
correctly adjusted.
Access to the rear seats
To access the rear bench seat of your
E-MEHARI: pull the seat tipping lever of one of
the two front seats.
Then tip the seat for ward to give access to the
rear bench seat of your E-MEHARI.
To return the seat to the normal position: guide
the seat backrest to its initial position.
Ensure that the seat has latched home
correctly before moving off.

Ease of use and comfort

24
Folding rear bench seat
Your E-MEHARI has been type-approved as
a four-seat vehicle.
The rear bench seat is a
folding bench seat for
two people.
Only the backrest folds, the cushion remains
fixed.
Your E-MEHARI has been type-approved
for use on European roads carrying up to
4


people: the driver and three passengers.
You must never carry more than two
people on the bench rear seat.
Your E-MEHARI is fitted with 2
rear seat
belts.
Any additional passenger, who would
not be restrained, would risk serious or
fatal injuries and also risk injuring other
occupants of the vehicle.
Operation
Pull the controls (1) on each side of the bench
seat to release the latches (2) .
Fold the backrest (3) forward.
Adjusting the rear head
restraints
- To raise a head restraint: pull it up to the
desired position.
-

T
o lower a head restraint: push it down to
the desired position.
Never adjust the head restraints while the
vehicle is moving.
Take care not to trap the seat belts and
position the seat belt buckles correctly
before folding the backrest.
Steering wheel
(adjustment)
The height and reach of your E-MEHARI's
steering wheel are adjustable. Do not adjust the steering wheel while
driving the vehicle: this would risk causing
a
loss of control of the vehicle and could
lead to an accident.
Ease of use and comfort

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.
Safety

39
Rear seat belts not fastened
alerts
Seat belts unfastened alert
When the ignition is switched on, with the
motor running or the vehicle driving above
6 mph (10 km/h), warning lamp A and the
corresponding dots in warning lamp B come on
for around thirty seconds, if one or more rear
passengers have not fastened their seat belts.
After the ignition is switched on, warning
lamp A and the corresponding dots in warning
lamp B come on if the driver and/or one or
more passengers unfasten their seat belts.
These warning lamps flash for 30
seconds,
accompanied by an audible signal. Beyond
this period of time, the warning lamps stay on
continuously until the seat belts are fastened.
Airbags
General information
This system contributes towards improving the
safety of passengers (with the exception of the
rear centre passenger) in the event of violent
collisions. The airbags supplement the action
of the seat belts fitted with force limiters (with
the exception of the rear centre passenger).
If a
collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
-

i
n the event of a serious impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and contribute
towards better protection of the passengers
(with the exception of the rear centre
passenger); immediately after the impact,
the airbags deflate rapidly so that they
do not hinder visibility or the exit of the
passengers,
-

i
n the case of a minor or rear impact or in
certain roll-over conditions, the airbags
may not be deployed; the seat belt
alone contributes towards ensuring your
protection in these situations.
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only deploy once. If
a
second impact occurs (during the same
or a
subsequent accident), the airbag will
not be deployed again.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
Airbag deployment generates slight
smoke emissions and a
noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight irritation.
The detonation noise associated with the
deployment of an airbag may result in
a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.
