Be particularly aware of pedestrians, cyclists,
children and motorcyclists. Your E-MEHARI
is a silent vehicle, and they may not hear you
coming, which could give rise to collisions. To avoid collisions with pedestrians, your
E-MEHARI is fitted with a
special horn. This
special pedestrian horn allows you to announce
your approach in a friendly and less aggressive
way than would be the case with a conventional
horn.
For more information on the Horns , refer to the
corresponding section.
Before moving off, leave your foot on the brake
pedal until you are ready to drive. Before
getting out of your E-MEHARI, do not forget
to put the drive selector back to position "N",
apply the manual parking brake and switch off
your vehicle. -
Y
our E-MEHARI has a system for energy
recovery on deceleration. The main goal of
the recovery of energy is to recover in the
LMP
® battery part of the energy generated
when the vehicle is slowing down, in order
to improve the range of the LMP
® battery
and thus the driving distance. In your
E-MEHARI, it is the braking effect of the
electric motor that plays this role.
-
S
pecial case: following a
full charge of
the LMP
® battery and during the initial
subsequent use of the vehicle, the
braking effect of the electric motor may
be temporarily reduced. You should adapt
your driving as a consequence.
-
W
e therefore recommend that you
anticipate the need to slow down as much
as possible, so as to obtain the maximum
driving range.
-
T
he brake pedal should be used to slow
or stop the vehicle according to the road
and traffic conditions. Your E-MEHARI's
brakes do not provide any energy
r e c ove r y.
Precautions in the event of
an electrical failure
In the event of a general electric failure, your
E -MEHARI will no longer be driven by the
electric motor. As quickly as possible, you
must place the vehicle in a
safe area obser ving
the driving regulations on road safety (hard
shoulder, side of the road, etc.).
Immobilise your E-MEHARI, switch on the
hazard warning lamps, get out of the vehicle
and stand in a
safe place, put on your high-
visibility vest and call CITROËN ASSISTANCE,
who will contact the emergency and roadside
assistance services.

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.
