ISOFIX mountings (child
seat s)*
ISOFIX is an ISO standard for child seat
mountings (ISO standard 13216 -1: 1999).
This system avoids the use of the vehicle's seat
belts for securing the child seat: two latches on
the child seat engage on two anchorage points
(1) positioned between the seat cushion and
backrest at the right and left seating positions
of the bench rear seat of your E-MEHARI.
(1) Locations of ISOFIX mountings.
(1) Location of the Top Tether ring for fixing the
upper strap. The ISOFIX standard is overseen by the
International Standards Organisation.
Always use child seats compatible with
this standard when using the dedicated
mounting points.
Using a child seat that is not compatible
with the ISOFIX standard could
increase the risk of accident and injury
for the child, as well as for the other
occupants of the vehicle.
The aim of the ISOFIX system is to facilitate
the installation of a child seat and its transfer
to another vehicle, while avoiding the problems
inherent in fixing systems that use the vehicle's
seat belts.
Your E-MEHARI is fitted with ISOFIX
mountings at the left and right seating positions
of the bench rear seat.
This system simplifies the installation and fixing
of a child seat while improving the safety of the
installation at the same time.

e legislation on carrying children is specific
to each country. Refer to the legislation in
force in your country.

Failure to observe the instructions and
warnings related to the installation of
a child seat or child restraint system
would expose the child and the other
occupants of the vehicle to the risk of
serious injury in the event of a collision
or sudden braking.
Always use child seats that meet
the European standards and follow
scrupulously the installation and fixing
instructions provided with the child seat.
Before installing a child seat, check that
there is nothing that might inter fere with
its fixing to the two mounting points.
You will not be able to secure a child
seat to the two mounting points if they
are not clear of obstruction.A child restraint system in a vehicle
parked in the sun can become very hot.
Always check the sur face of the child
seat before placing the child in it, to
avoid any risk of injury.
The incorrect installation of a child seat
compromises the protection and safety
of the child and the occupants of the
vehicle in the event of a collision.

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.
Driving your E-MEHARI
The following actions can increase
the risk of losing control of the
vehicle in the event of a loss of
pressure in a tyre:

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.

The drive train is powered directly
by the LMP® battery fitted to your
E-MEHARI.
Never try to do anything to the high
voltage components of your vehicle.
A mistake in handling these
components could cause an electric
shock and serious or fatal injuries.
The underbonnet of the vehicle is a
dangerous area that could cause serious
injuries.
Always keep children well away from
the underbonnet and never leave them
unsupervised.
Under the bonnet
Under the bonnet of your E-MEHARI can
be found the vehicle's drive train and the
reservoirs containing the fluid needed for the
correct operation of your E-MEHARI (brake
fluid, coolant and screenwash fluid).
Opening the bonnet
