Overview
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 observing
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.
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.
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.

- Your 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.
- 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 as a 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 provide any energy
recovery.
