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.

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.
