Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your
hands on the wheel so that you are ready to
react at any time to any eventuality.
As a safety measure, the driver must only carry
out any operations that require close attention
when the vehicle is stationary.
On a
long journey, a break every two hours is
strongly recommended.
In bad weather, drive smoothly, anticipate the
need to brake and increase the distance from
other vehicles.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake applied
– Risk of overheating and damage to the
braking system!
Never leave a
vehicle unsuper vised with
the motor running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the motor running,
apply the parking brake and put the drive
selector into position N or P .
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the motor or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.
If you are obliged to drive through water:
-

c
heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 6
inches (15 cm), taking account
of waves that might be generated by other
users,
-

d
rive as slowly as possible. In all cases, do
not exceed 6
mph (10 km/h),
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt about the state of your vehicle,
contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Driving your E-MEHARI
Never leave a child or a disabled adult
w ho 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 than the
seat backrests.
A badly supported load may result in
serious physical injuries if there is an
abrupt stop or collision.
If the vehicle is not handled carefully and
in a
safe way, you risk losing control of it
and causing an accident.

Replacing a fuse
Fuses under the bonnet
All maintenance on the vehicle's fuses must be
carried out by a
CITROËN authorised repairer
or a


qualified professional.
Your E-MEHARI is an electric vehicle that
includes systems operating at high voltage
and high currents. The maintenance
on the fuses under the bonnet of your
E-MEHARI must be carried out by
a


qualified person.
Incorrect handling could cause an electric
shock resulting in serious injury or death.
Fuses in the passenger
compartment
If an electric system is not working, check the
condition of the fuses. Remove the nut from the access cover
(1)
located below the passenger storage
compartment.
The tweezers for extracting fuses (1) are
located under the bonnet. To check and replace a fuse:
-
E
xtract the fuse using the tweezers (1)
-
S
lide it sideways to release it from the
tweezers
-
I
t is recommended not to use the free fuse
locations
-
D
o not forget to return the tweezers (1)
to
their holder
Check the condition of the fuse and, if
necessary, replace it with a new fuse,
which must be of the same rating as the
original fuse.
A fuse of too high a rating could cause
overheating of the electrical system (risk
of fire) if there were abnormal current
consumption in a circuit.
