2022 CITROEN E-MEHARI four wheel drive

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

55
Tyre under-inflation
detection
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressure in all four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the pressure of one or more
tyres.
The tyre under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
This system still requires you to check the
tyre inflation pressure (including the spare
wheel, where fitted) every month as well
as before a
long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
handling, extends braking distances and
causes premature tyre wear, particularly
in adverse conditions (heavy loads, high
speeds, long journeys).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases energy consumption. The tyre pressure specifications for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings
, refer to the
corresponding section.
Tyre pressures should be checked when
the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1
hour or after a journey of less than
6
miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3
bar to the
pressures shown on the label.
Under-inflation alert
It is indicated by this warning lamp
coming on, fixed. F
Reduce speed immediately, avoid excessive
steering movements and sudden braking.
F Stop as soon as possible, when traffic
conditions allow.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not rely on a simple visual check.
F If you have a compressor (such as the
one in the temporary puncture repair kit),
check the pressures of the four tyres when
cold. If it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
or
F In the event of a
puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit.
The alert is kept active until the system is
reinitialised.
