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.
Applying the parking brake
To apply the manual parking brake and
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.
To release the manual parking brake:
1.Pull slightly on the lever (1) .
2. Press the release button (2) .
3. Lower the lever fully.
Once the parking brake is completely released,
the indicator lamp goes off in the instrument

Maintaining and servicing
your E-MEHARI
The maintenance and servicing of your vehicle
must be carried out by a CITROËN authorised
repairer or a


qualified professional and in line
with the principles stated in the Maintenance
and Warranty Guide.
Washing precautions
Never wash the charging socket, the
traction battery or under the bonnet using
a
high pressure jet wash: risk of damage
to the electrical system.
Never wash the vehicle while it is
charging: risk of electric shock that could
cause death.
Cleaning the vehicle by the regular use
of a
high pressure car wash with rotating
brushes is not recommended.
Not recommended for care
of the bodywork
- Degreasing or cleaning the mechanical components under the body, parts with
hinges, exterior plastic panels using a
high
pressure jet wash or spraying products not
intended for this purpose, such as solvents.
-

W
ashing the vehicle in direct sunlight.
-

R
emoving mud or stains without first
soaking with water.
Recommended for care of
the bodywork
- Washing your E-MEHARI regularly using car shampoo specifically created for the
care of vehicles with plastic body parts
(never with abrasive products).
-

R
insing and thoroughly hosing off as
soon as possible resinous deposits from
trees, fallout from industrial pollution and
bird droppings which produce a


chemical
reaction with the bodywork causing rapid
discolouration. Only the seats, covered with an impermeable
material, and the floor can be washed using
a
water jet (check first that the drainage holes,
located at the front on each side of the central
console in the passenger footwells are not
blocked).
Care of interior trim
Stains should always be dealt with quickly.
For all types of stain, you should use warm or
cold soapy water based on natural soap.
Detergents (washing up liquid, powder
products, alcohol-based products, etc.) must
not be used.
-

U
se a soft cloth.
-

R
inse and absorb the excess.
-

F
inish by wiping gently with a dry, soft cloth.
As it is not watertight, the dashboard must
never be washed using water.

continuous consumption, you must ensure
that the electrical installation (socket,
cables, etc.) for the charging have this
value of nominal current at a
minimum
and comply with the most recent electrical
cable standards and regulations in force in
your country or region.
-

T
he maximum nominal current depends
on the country.
-

T
he socket and wiring circuit must be

switched off, the car must be unlocked
with the RFID key ring, and the parking
brake activated.
1. Connect the plug (1) to a
230 V/16 A socket
that can support a
continuous current of 10
A. All the LEDs on the control unit light up
for half a
second then the POWER warning
lamp lights up permanently. 2.
Open and hold open the vehicle's charging
socket panel (on the right-hand rear wing).
Ensure that there is no foreign body in the
