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 should place the vehicle in a safe area
observing the driving regulations on road safety
(hard shoulder, side of the road...).
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 CITRÖEN ASSISTANCE,
who will contact the emergency and roadside
assistance services.
Special aspects of electric
vehicles
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 (see page 24).
Before moving off, leave your foot on the brake
pedal until you are ready to drive. Before
leaving your E-MEHARI, don't forget to return
the drive selector to position "N", apply the
parking brake and switch off your vehicle.

Notes
● Your E-MEHARI has an energy recovery
system on deceleration. The main
purpose of energy recovery is to return
to the LMP
battery some of the energy
®
generated when your vehicle is slowing
down, to improve the range of the LMP
battery and so the distance that can
be driven. In your E-MEHARI, it is the
braking effect of the electric motor that
plays this role.
● Special 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 in consequence.
● We therefore recommend that you
anticipate the need to slow down as much
as possible, so as to obtain the maximum
driving range.
● The 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 allow energy recovery.
