Driving Your E-Mehari - CITROEN E-MEHARI 2016 Handbook

Driving

Driving your E-MEHARI

Never leave a child or a disabled adult
who 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 that the
seat backrests.
A poorly secured load could cause
serious injuries with sudden braking or
in a collision.
If the vehicle is not handled prudently
and in a safe way, you risk losing
control of it and causing an accident.

The following actions can increase
the risk of losing control of the
vehicle in the event of a loss of
pressure in a tyre:
● sudden harsh application of the
brakes,
● releasing the accelerator pedal
suddenly,
● turning the steering wheel too
quickly.
Note: The vehicle generally moves
toward, or pulls, in the direction of the
under-inflated tyre.
Never drive under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
The presence of alcohol or drugs in
your bloodstream reduces coordination,
slows reaction and impairs judgment.
Driving after taking alcohol or drugs
increases the risk of being involved in
an accident causing injuries, suffered
by yourself or inflicted on others.
Note also that, in the event of an
accident, the alcohol or drugs risk
increasing the severity of the injuries
suffered.
Never take medicines that might affect
your ability to drive and control the
vehicle before setting off.
Never leave the starting switch in the
"MAR" position for a long period when
the vehicle is not being used.
This can reduce the range of the
vehicle.
When you stop your vehicle on a
rising slope, do not hold the vehicle by
pressing the accelerator.
Always use the brake pedal for this.
