Use the hazard warning lamps only to
signal unusual action on your part and
only if your vehicle presents a safety
risk to other drivers: an emergency stop
because of a
vehicle failure, the need to
drive abnormally slowly, etc...
While the hazard warning lamps are on,
your E-MEHARI's direction indicators can
no longer be used to indicate changes of
direction.
Horns and audible
warnings
" Standard " horn
To use the "standard" horn: press the central
hub of the steering wheel.
Horn for pedestrians
Operation
Your E-MEHARI produces no noise from its
electric motor.
It has a
special horn for warning pedestrians of
your approach.
This horn sounds when the vehicle's speed is
between approximately 0.6
and 18 mph (1 and
30


km/h).
Deactivation
In certain driving conditions you can deactivate
the system.
Make a
short press on the end of the wiper
control stalk.
Another press reactivates the system.
Before deactivating the system, make
sure that you are not driving in an area
frequented by pedestrians. The system is reactivated automatically at
every new start.
Audible warning emergency
services
Your E-MEHARI has an audible warning
system should there be a
problem with the
LMP
® battery fitted to the vehicle. A message
also appears on the dashboard instrument
panel.
For more information on the Instruments and
indicators on your E-MEHARI , refer to the
corresponding section.
If operation of this system is triggered (the
audible warning cannot be switched off), you
must stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so, get out of the vehicle, and call CITROËN
ASSISTANCE.
Please tell the call handler that your
vehicle is an electric vehicle.
Stay at least ten metres away from your
vehicle when an LMP
® battery warning
has been triggered.
An LMP
® battery is an energy storage
device.

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.

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.

1.Pull slightly on the lever (1) .
2. Press the release button (2) .
3. Lower the lever fully.

(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

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.

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.
