ALARM

Good practice

Do not make any modifications to the
electronic immobiliser system.

Operating the remote control, even when it
is in your pocket, may result in involuntary
unlocking of the doors.

The simultaneous use of other high
frequency equipment (mobile telephones,
domestic alarms…), may interfere with the
operation of the remote control temporarily.

the key is in the ignition, even if the ignition
is off.

As a safety precaution (with children on
board), remove the key from the ignition
when leaving the vehicle, even for a short
time.

- have the keys memorised by a
CITROËN dealer to ensure that the keys
in your possession are the only ones
which can start the vehicle.

If fitted on your vehicle, this provides two
types of protection:

- exterior protection: it sounds if a front/
rear door or the bonnet is opened.

- interior protection: it sounds if
the volume inside the passenger
compartment changes (breaking of
a window or a movement inside the
vehicle).

If your vehicle is fitted with a separation
partition, the interior protection is not active
in the load space.

Refer to the "Fuel" section of chapter 6.

The needle is positioned before the red
zone: normal operation.

In arduous conditions of use or hot climatic
conditions, the needle may move close to
the red graduations.

What you should do if the needle enters
the red zone:

Reduce your speed or let the engine run at
idle.

What you should do if the warning light
comes on:

- stop immediately, switch off the ignition.
The fan may continue to operate for a
certain time up to approximately
10 minutes.

- wait for the engine to cool down in order
to check the coolant level and top it up if
necessary.

As the cooling system is pressurised, follow
this advice in order to avoid any risk of
scalding:

- wait at least one hour after switching off
the engine before carrying out any work,

- unscrew the cap by 1/4 turn to allow the
pressure to drop,

- when the pressure has dropped, check
the level on the expansion bottle,

- if necessary, remove the cap to top up.

If the needle remains in the red zone, have

Diagnosis) is a diagnostics
system which complies with,
among others, the standards

concerning authorised emissions of:

- CO (carbon monoxide),

- HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),

- NOx (nitrogen oxides) or particles,
detected by oxygen sensors placed
upstream and downstream of the
catalytic converters.

Therefore, the driver is warned of any
malfunction of this emission control system
by the lighting of this specific warning light
on the instrument panel.

There is a risk of damage to the catalytic
converter. Have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer.

This programmes service intervals according
to the use of the vehicle.

Operation

A few moments after the ignition has been
switched on, the spanner indicating a
service operation lights up; the display for
the total distance recorder tells you (in round
figures) the distance remaining before the
next service.

The points at which a service is due are
calculated from the last indicator zero reset.

The point at which a service is due is
determined by two parameters:

- the distance travelled,

- the time which has elapsed since
the last service.

The distance remaining before the next

service may be weighted by the time
factor, depending on the driver’s driving
habits.

More than 1 000 miles/km before
the next service is due

Example: 4 800 miles/km remain before
the next service is due. When the ignition is
switched on and for a few seconds,
the display shows:

A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the oil level is displayed, then the total
distance recorder resumes normal operation
showing the total and trip distances.

Less than 1 000 miles/km before the next
service is due

Each time the ignition is switched on and for a few

seconds, the spanner fl ashes and the number of

miles/kilometres remaining is displayed:

A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the oil level is displayed, then the total
distance recorder resumes normal operation
and the spanner remains lit. This indicates
that a service should be carried out shortly.

Service overdue

Each time the ignition is switched
on and for a few seconds, the

spanner fl ashes and the excess

distance is displayed.

With the engine running the spanner
remains lit until the service has been
carried out.

First of the two terms reached: the spanner
also lights up if the two-year interval has
elapsed.

This cruise control shows the function
selection status on the instrument panel and
displays the programmed speed:

"This is the speed at which the driver wishes
to drive".

This aid to driving in free-flowing traffic
enables the vehicle to maintain the speed
programmed by the driver, unless a steep
gradient makes this impossible.

Steering wheel controls

Selecting the function

- Place the switch in the CRUISE position.

The cruise control is selected but is
not yet active and no speed has been
programmed.

First activation/
programming a speed

- Reach the chosen
speed by pressing the
accelerator.

- Press the SET - or SET +
button.

This programmes/activates the reference
speed and the vehicle will maintain this
speed.

Temporary exceeding of the speed

It is possible to accelerate and drive
momentarily at a speed greater than the
programmed speed. The value programmed
flashes.

When the accelerator pedal is released, the
vehicle will return to the programmed speed.

Good practice

When changing the programmed reference
speed by means of a maintained press,
pay attention as the speed can increase or
decrease rapidly.

Do not use the cruise control on slippery
roads or in heavy traffic.

In the event of a steep slope, the cruise
control cannot prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.

In any event, the cruise control cannot
replace the need to observe the speed
limits, nor can it replace the need for
vigilance and responsibility on the part of the
driver.

It is advisable to leave your feet near the
pedals.

To avoid any jamming under the pedals:

- ensure that the mat and its fixings on the
floor are positioned correctly,

- never place one mat on top of another.

Changing the
programmed speed

There are two methods of
memorising a speed higher
than the previous one:

Without using the accelerator:

- press the Set + button.
A brief press increases the speed by 1 mph (km/h).
A maintained press increases the speed in

steps of 5 mph (km/h).

Cancelling the programmed
reference speed

When the vehicle becomes stationary, after
switching off the ignition, the system no
longer memorises a speed.

Using the accelerator:

- exceed the memorised speed until the
speed required is reached,

- press the Set + or Set - button.

To memorise a speed lower than the
previous one:

- press the Set - button.

A brief press decreases the speed by 1 mph
(km/h).

A maintained press decreases the speed in
steps of 5 mph (km/h).

This speed limiter shows the function
selection status on the instrument panel and
displays the programmed speed:

The operating actions may be carried out

when stationary, with the engine running,
or with the vehicle moving.

"This is the selected speed which the driver
does not wish to exceed".

This selection is made with the engine
running while stationary or with the vehicle
moving. The minimum speed which can be
programmed is 20 mph (30 km/h).

The speed of the vehicle responds to the
pressure of the driver’s foot as far as the
accelerator pedal point of resistance which
indicates that the programmed speed has
been reached.

Steering wheel controls

Selecting the function

- Place the dial in the LIMIT position.
The limiter is selected but is not yet

To memorise a speed higher than the
previous one:

- press the Set + button.
A brief press increases the speed by 1 mph

(km/h).
A maintained press increases the speed in

steps of 5 mph (km/h).
To memorise a speed lower than the

previous one:

- press the Set - button.
A brief press decreases the speed by 1 mph

(km/h).
A maintained press decreases the speed in

steps of 5 mph (km/h).

Activation/Deactivation (off)

Pressing this button once activates the
limiter, pressing the button again deactivates
it (OFF).

Steering wheel controls

Flashing of the speed

The speed flashes:

- following forcing of the accelerator point
of resistance,

- when the limiter cannot prevent an
increase in the vehicle speed due to the
profile of the road or on a steep descent,

- in the event of sharp acceleration.

Exceeding the programmed speed

Pressing the accelerator pedal in order to
exceed the programmed speed will have
no effect unless you press the pedal firmly
beyond the point of resistance .

Good practice

Operating fault

The programmed speed is cleared then
replaced by three dashes.

Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the
system checked.

The limiter is deactivated temporarily and
the programmed speed flashes.

To return to the limiter function, reduce your
speed to below the programmed speed.

Switching the function off

- Place the dial in position 0 or switch off

the ignition to switch the system off.

The last programmed speed remains in the
memory.

In any event, the speed limiter cannot
replace the need to observe speed limits,
nor can it replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the driver.

Always pay attention to the profile of the
road and sharp acceleration and stay in
complete control of your vehicle.

To avoid any jamming under the pedals:

- ensure that the mat and its fixings on the

Ventilation

CORRECT USE OF THE

VENTILATION AND AIR

Vents

"Leave them open"
For optimum distribution and diffusion of hot

or cool air in the passenger compartment,
there are adjustable central and side vents
which can be directed sideways (right or
left) towards the top of the body. For your
comfort while driving, do not close them,
direct the flow of air towards the windows
instead.

The air vents directed towards the floor of
the vehicle complete the equipment.

Passenger compartment filter,
carbon filter

Ensure that this fi lter is in good condition and
have all of the fi lter elements replaced regularly.

Refer to the "Checks" section of
chapter 6.

Air conditioning

In all seasons, if fitted on your vehicle, the
air conditioning should only be used with
the windows closed. However, if the interior
temperature remains high after a prolonged
period parked in the sun, do not hesitate to
ventilate the passenger compartment for a
few minutes.

If your vehicle is fitted with automatic

air conditioning, use the AUTO
mode as much as possible as it permits
optimised control of all of the functions:
air flow, passenger compartment comfort
temperature, air distribution, air intake
mode or air recirculation in the passenger
compartment.

Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to
10 minutes, once or twice a month, to keep
it in perfect working order.

It is normal that the condensation created by
the air conditioning system results in a flow
of water which may form a puddle under the
vehicle when parked.

If the system does not produce cold air, do
not use it and consult a CITROËN dealer.

Ventilation

Good practice

To avoid any risk of poisoning or
asphyxiation, the heater must not be used,
even for short periods, in an enclosed space
such as a garage or workshop which is not
fitted with an exhaust gas extraction system.

Do not park the vehicle on an inflammable
surface (dry grass, dead leaves, paper…),
there is a risk of fire.

The temperature near the heater must not
exceed 120 °C. A temperature higher than
this (for example in the case of painting in
an oven) could damage the components of
the electronic circuits.

The heater is supplied by the vehicle’s fuel
tank. Ensure that the fuel gauge indicator
light is not at reserve.

Coolant circuit heater

This is an additional and autonomous
system which heats the diesel engine hot
coolant loop to make starting easier.

It improves the de-icing and demisting
performance.

Vehicles fitted with an HDi engine may be
fitted with a heater. When the engine is at
idle or the vehicle is stationary, it is normal
to notice a high-pitched whistling noise and
a slight emission of smoke and odour.

Ventilation

Have the heater checked at least

once a year at the beginning of winter.
Maintenance and repairs should only be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer. Use
recommended replacement parts only.

Rear suspension

REAR SUSPENSION

Two types of suspension are offered.

Metal suspension

This equipment adopts long movement
limiters which make it possible to guarantee
stable behaviour both when loaded and
when empty. No action on your part is
required except to ensure that maintenance
is carried out and that the authorised loads
are complied with.

Rear suspension with pneumatic
compensation

If fitted on your vehicle, this type of
suspension regulates the variations in the
height of the rear platform of your vehicle

irrespective of the weight of the load, within
the limit of the authorised values. On board,
the increasing or lightening of the load on
the vehicle’s platform is detected by two
height sensors. When all of the doors are
closed, the sensors trigger the automatic
compensation and determine the optimum
height of the sill for the vehicle’s driving
conditions.

Two functions

1. Automatic correction

2. Manual correction

1 - Automatic correction of the

height of the rear sill

The pneumatic suspension automatically
regulates the variations in the height of the
rear platform of your vehicle.

A red warning light on your

instrument panel fl ashes if the

height is not at its optimum level and
requires correction, drive slowly until
this warning light is switched off.

The automatic compensation is temporarily
inactive:

- if a door/the tailgate is open,

- when braking or when stopped at a red
light (brake pedal pressed).

Deactivation of the automatic correction

The control which permits deactivation of the
automatic control is located on the right­hand side, at the rear of the vehicle.

With the vehicle stationary:

- press and hold,

- release the control.

Deactivation is confirmed by
the diode which is lit. It remains lit for
approximately 30 seconds.

You must deactivate the automatic
correction manually in the following
situations:

- when working underneath the vehicle,

- when changing a wheel,

- when the vehicle is being transported by

lorry, train, ferry, boat, ...

Return to automatic correction

With the vehicle stationary:

- press and hold,

- release the control.

Return to automatic correction is confirmed
by the diode which is switched off.

According to the configurations, a bleep may
be heard during these operations.

Rear suspension

2 - Manual correction of the height

of the rear sill

If your vehicle is fitted with this adjustment,
the control is located on the right-hand side
at the rear of the vehicle.

This manual adjustment permits "lowering"
or "raising" of the height of the sill of the rear
platform to facilitate operations in a parking
area.

This adjustment of the height of the sill is
restricted by a lower limit and an upper limit.

Carry out these operations with the vehicle
still stationary and:

- with the front and side doors closed,

- with the handbrake applied,

- do not leave your foot on the brake
pedal.

First use

To initialise the function, press the control
for approximately 2 seconds.

Lower: downwards adjustment
of the platform sill

Press the control downwards
continuously.

Release the button to stop the movement,
"3 bleeps" indicate that you have reached
the maximum limit, the movement stops
automatically.

Raise: upwards adjustment of
the platform sill

Press the control upwards
continuously.

Release the button to stop the movement,
"3 bleeps" indicate that you have reached
the maximum limit, the movement stops
automatically.

Return to the optimum sill height

Press the control up or down twice in
succession, the opposite of the position of
the load sill.

Operating faults

If the load sill is not adjusted when the
control is pressed, "3 bleeps" indicate a
malfunction for the following reasons:

- foot on the brake pedal with the key in
the ignition,

- excessive use of the manual correction,

- low battery charge,

- failure of the system.

If the audible signal persists, contact a
CITROËN dealer.

Rear suspension

Deactivation of the manual correction

With the vehicle stationary:

- press and hold,

- release the control.

Deactivation is confirmed by
the diode which is lit. It remains lit for
approximately 30 seconds.

Return to manual correction

With the vehicle stationary:

- press and hold,

- release the control.

Return to manual correction is
confirmed by the diode which is switched off.

According to the configurations, a bleep may
be heard during these operations.

You must deactivate the manual
correction in the following situations:

- when working underneath the vehicle,

- when changing a wheel,

- when the vehicle is being transported by

lorry, train, ferry, boat, ...

Good practice

When stationary and with the ignition key
removed, excessive use of the system
consumes battery charge.

Driving with the height of the rear platform:

- too low, risks damaging the technical
components underneath the vehicle,

- too high, risks unstable driving.

If you start and the warning light flashes,
to switch it off:

- correct the position of the manual

control which is still at the lower or
upper limit,

- or drive slowly at above 6 mph (10 km/h),

until the compensation returns to
automatic mode.

Parking for a long duration

Avoid parking for a long duration on ground
which could present a potential obstacle as
your vehicle could lower.

Following a long period out of use, the
height of the platform may change due to the
automatic compensation on unlocking or on
opening one of your vehicle’s doors.

Warning light

Refer to the "Instruments and controls"
section of chapter 2.

Mirrors and windows

MIRRORS

MIRRORS AND WINDOWS

HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS

DRIVING SAFETY

Applying

Pull the handbrake to immobilise your
vehicle.

Check that the handbrake is applied firmly
before leaving the vehicle.

If the handbrake is still on or has
not been released properly, this
is indicated by this warning light
which comes on on the instrument

The audible and/or visual rear parking

REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE

assistance consists of four proximity
sensors, installed in the rear bumper. The
sensors detect any obstacle which enters
the field: person, vehicle, tree, fence, behind
the vehicle during the manoeuvre.

Certain objects detected at the beginning of
the manoeuvre will no longer be detected
at the end of the manoeuvre due to the
blind spots between and below the sensors.
Examples: stake, roadworks cone or
pavement post.

Engage reverse gear

An audible signal confirms the activation of
the system by engaging reverse gear.

The proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal which becomes more rapid as
the vehicle approaches the obstacle. When
the distance between the rear of the vehicle
and the obstacle is less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal
becomes continuous.

Display on the screen

Parking assistance

Activation/Deactivation

You can activate or deactivate the
system by pressing this button.

The activation or deactivation of
the system is stored when the
vehicle stops.

Operating fault

In the event of an operating fault, when
reverse gear is engaged the diode on
the button comes on, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message on the
display. Consult a CITROËN dealer.

Good practice

In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or
snow.

The system will be deactivated automatically
if a trailer is being towed or if a bicycle
carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with a
towbar or bicycle carrier recommended by
CITROËN).

The parking assistance cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the driver.

Stop the assistance

Change to neutral.

You are advised to deactivate the system if
your vehicle is fitted with a rear ladder or if
you are transporting a load which exceeds
the length of the vehicle.

ABS

Driving safet

HORN

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM

EMERGENCY BRAKING

ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (EBA)

Press the centre of the steering wheel.

The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake force
distribution) systems improve the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle on
braking, in particular on poor or slippery
surfaces.

The ABS prevents locking of the wheels,
the EBFD provides control of the braking
pressure wheel by wheel.

Good practice

The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock. It does not reduce the braking
distance.

On very slippery surfaces (ice, oil, etc...)
the ABS may increase the braking distance.
When braking in an emergency, do not
hesitate to press the brake pedal firmly,
without releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able to
continue to manoeuvre the vehicle to avoid
an obstacle.

Normal operation of the ABS may be felt by
slight vibration of the brake pedal.

When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are recommended by
CITROËN.

If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message on the display,

it indicates a malfunction of the
ABS which could result in a loss of control of
the vehicle on braking.

If this warning light comes on,
together with the brake and STOP
warning lights, accompanied by

an audible signal and a message
on the display, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution which
could result in a loss of control of the vehicle
on braking.

Stop immediately.

In both cases, contact a CITROËN dealer.

In an emergency, this system enables the
optimum braking pressure to be reached
more quickly, press the pedal firmly without
releasing it.

It is triggered by the speed at which the brake
pedal is activated. This alters the resistance
of the brake pedal under your foot.

To prolong the operation of the emergency
braking assistance system: keep your foot
on the brake pedal.

ESP

Driving safety

TRACTION CONTROL (ASR) AND

These systems are linked and complement
the ABS.

The ASR system is very useful for
maintaining optimum drive and avoiding
losses of control of the vehicle on
acceleration.

The system optimises drive to prevent the
wheels skidding, by acting on the brakes of
the drive wheels and on the engine. It also
allows the directional stability of the vehicle
to be improved on acceleration.

Use the ESP to hold your course without
attempting to countersteer.

If there is a variation between the trajectory
followed by the vehicle and that required
by the driver, the ESP system automatically

acts on the engine and the brake of one
or more wheels, in order to put the vehicle
back on course.

Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems

The luminous diode flashes when
the ASR or ESP is triggered.

Disarming the ASR/ESP systems

In certain exceptional conditions (starting
the vehicle when stuck in mud or snow, or
on loose ground...), it could prove useful to
disarm the ASR and ESP systems to make
the wheels spin and regain grip.

- Press the button, located on the centre
console.

- The indicator light comes on: the ASR
and ESP systems no longer act.

They engage again:

- automatically above 30 mph (50 km/h),

- manually by pressing the button again.

Operating check

When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the indicator light
comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message on
the display.

Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the
system checked.

The warning light may also come on if the
tyres are under-inflated. Check the pressure
of each tyre.

Good practice

The ASR/ESP systems offer increased
safety during normal driving, but should not
incite the driver to take risks or to drive at
high speed.

The operation of these systems is ensured
if the recommendations of the manufacturer
regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components, the electronic
components and the fitting and repair
procedures within the CITROËN network are
observed.

After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer.

Seat belts

SEAT BELTS

Height adjustment

Squeeze the control with the return and slide
the assembly on the driver’s seat side and
on the individual passenger seat side.

If your vehicle is fitted with a front bench,
the height of the seat belt associated with
the centre seat cannot be adjusted.

Fastening

Pull the strap, then insert the tongue into the
buckle.

Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap.

Unfastening

Press the red button.

Driver’s seat belt not fastened warning
light

When the vehicle is started, this
warning light comes on if the
driver has not fastened his seat
belt.

Passenger seat belt not fastened warning
light

If your vehicle is fitted with a front
passenger seat, when the vehicle
is started, this warning light
comes on if the passenger has not
fastened his seat belt.

Good practice

The driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
strapped in securely before moving off.

Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.

The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
which automatically adjusts the length of the
strap to your size.

Do not use accessories (clothes pegs, clips,
safety pins, etc.) which permit a clearance
with the seat belt straps.

Ensure that the seat belt is rolled up
correctly after use.

After folding or moving a seat or a rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is
rolled up correctly and that the buckle is
ready to accommodate the tongue.

Depending on the nature and seriousness
of any impact, the pretensioning device may
be triggered before and independently of
inflation of the air bags. It instantly tightens
the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.

Triggering of the pretensioners is
accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.

Seat belts

The force limiter reduces the pressure of the

FRONT SEAT BELTS

seat belt against the body of the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when

the ignition is switched on.
The inertia reels are fitted with a device

which automatically locks the strap in the
event of a collision or emergency braking or
if the vehicle rolls over.

You can unfasten the seat belt by pressing
the red button on the buckle. Guide the seat
belt after unfastening.

The air bag warning light comes on if the
pretensioners are triggered. Consult a
CITROËN dealer.

In order to be effective, a seat belt must:

- restrain one person only,

- must not be twisted, check by pulling in
front of you with an even movement,

- be tightened as close to the body as
possible.

The upper part of the seat belt should be
positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.

The lap part should be placed as low as
possible on the pelvis.

Do not invert the seat belt buckles as they
will not fulfil their role completely. If the
seats are fitted with armrests, the lap part of
the seat belt should always pass under the
armrest.

Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap firmly.

Recommendations for children:

- use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years old or
shorter than one metre fifty,

- never allow a child to travel on your lap,
even with the seat belt fastened.

For further information regarding child
seats, refer to the "Children on board"
section of chapter 4.

In accordance with current safety
regulations, your CITROËN dealer
guarantees all work or any checks, from
testing to maintenance, on your seat belt
equipment.

Have the seat belts checked regularly
(even after a minor impact) by a CITROËN
dealer: they must not show any signs of
wear, cutting or fraying and they must not be
transformed or modified.

Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product,
sold by CITROËN dealers.

With front air bags

The front seats are fitted with pretensioners
and force limiters.

Without front air bag

If your vehicle is fitted with a front bench
without front air bag, the centre passenger’s
seat belt does not have a pretensioner.

With bench seat

If your vehicle is fitted with a front bench
seat, take care to fasten the correct seat belt
using the correct buckle. Do not invert the
driver’s seat belt or buckle with the buckle or
seat belt of the centre seat.

Air bags

AIR BAGS

Air bags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.

This equipment only operates once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same or
a subsequent accident), the air bag will not
operate.

The triggering of an air bag or air bags
is accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.

This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience some irritation.

The noise of the detonation may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.

The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants in the
event of a serious collision; they work in
conjunction with the force limiting seat belts.

In the event of a serious collision, the
electronic detectors record and analyse the
front and side impacts suffered in the impact
detection zones:

- in the event of a serious impact, the air
bags inflate instantly and protect the
occupants of the vehicle. Immediately
after the impact, the air bags deflate
rapidly, so that they do not hinder the
visibility of the occupants nor their
possible exit from the vehicle.

- in the event of a minor or rear impact
and in certain roll-over conditions,
the air bags will not be deployed; the
seat belt alone is sufficient to provide
maximum protection in these situations.

The seriousness of the collision depends on
the nature of the obstacle and the speed of
the vehicle at the moment of impact.

It is imperative that the passenger

air bag is disarmed if a child seat is
installed facing rearwards. Refer to the
"Children on board" section of chapter 4.

Air bags

Good practice

Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the

occupants and the air bags (a child, pet,
object...). This could hamper the operation
of the air bags or injure the occupants.

After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the air bag
systems checked.

All work on the air bag system is strictly
forbidden unless it is carried out by qualified
personnel of the CITROËN network.

Even if all of the precautions mentioned are
observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns
to the head, chest or arms when an air bag
is triggered cannot be ruled out. In fact, the
bag inflates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then deflates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via openings
provided for this purpose.

Side air bags

Only put recommended covers on the seats.
These will not hinder inflation of the side air
bags. Consult a CITROËN dealer.

Do not fix or glue anything to the seat backs.
This could cause injury to the chest or arms
when the side air bag inflates.

Do not sit with the upper part of the body
any nearer to the door than necessary.

Front air bags

Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on the
centre part of the wheel.

Do not allow passengers to place their feet
on the fascia, they risk serious injury if the
air bag is triggered.

Smoke as little as possible as deployment of
the air bags can cause burns or the risk of
injury from a cigarette or pipe.

Never remove or pierce the steering wheel
or hit it violently.

Air bags

Front air bags

The front air bags are incorporated in the
centre of the steering wheel for the driver
and in the fascia for the front passenger.

Activation

They are deployed simultaneously, unless
the passenger’s front air bag has been
disarmed, in the event of a serious front
impact applied to all or part of the front
impact zone A in the longitudinal centreline
of the vehicle on a horizontal plane directed
from the front towards the rear of the
vehicle.

The front air bag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the fascia to
cushion his forward movement.

Disarming

The passenger’s front air bag alone can be
disarmed:

- With the ignition switched off , insert

the key into the passenger air bag
disarming switch,

- turn it to the "OFF" position,

- then remove the key keeping the slot in
this position.

The air bag warning light on the
instrument panel is lit throughout
the period of disarming.

To ensure the safety of your child, it

is essential to disarm the passenger
air bag when you install a rear-facing child
seat on the front passenger seat. Otherwise,
the child would risk being killed or seriously
injured if the air bag were to inflate.

Reactivation

In the "OFF" position, the passenger air
bag will not be triggered in the event of an
impact.

As soon as the child seat is removed, turn
the air bag slot to the "ON" position to
re-activate the air bag and thus ensure the
safety of your passenger in the event of an
impact.

Front air bag fault

If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message on the display,
contact a CITROËN dealer to
have the system checked.

If the two air bag warning lights are lit

continuously, do not install a rear­facing child seat. Consult a CITROËN
dealer.

may no longer be triggered in the event of a
serious impact.

Side air bags

If fitted on your vehicle, this is a system
which protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a serious side
impact in order to limit the risk of injury to
the chest.

Each side air bag is incorporated in the front
seat back frame, on the door side.

Activation

It is triggered unilaterally in the event of a
serious side impact applied to all or part
of the side impact zone B , perpendicular
to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle
on a horizontal plane and directed from the
outside towards the inside of the vehicle.

The side air bag inflates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
corresponding door trim pad.

Impact detection zones

A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.

In the event of a minor impact or bump

on the side of the vehicle or if the
vehicle rolls over, the air bag may not be
triggered.

The air bag is not triggered in the event of a
rear or front collision.

GENERAL POINTS RELATING TO

Although one of CITROËN’s main criteria
when designing your vehicle, the safety of
your children also depends on you.

For maximum safety, please follow these
precautions:

- all children under the age of 12 or less
than one metre fifty tall must travel in
approved child seats suited to their
weight, on seats fitted with a seat belt or
ISOFIX mountings.

- statistically, the safest seats in your
vehicle for the transportation of children
are the rear seats,

- a child weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the "rearwards-facing" position
both in the front and in the rear,

- the passenger must not travel with a
child on his lap.

INSTALLING A CHILD SEAT USING A THREE POINT SEAT BELT

"Rearwards-facing"

Recommended on the rear seats up to the
age of 2.

When a "rearwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat, it
is essential that the passenger air bag is
disarmed. Otherwise, the child would risk
being seriously injured or killed if the air bag
were to inflate.

"Forwards-facing"

Recommended on the rear seats over the
age of 2.

When a "forwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat, leave
the passenger air bag armed.

The rules for transporting children are
specific to each country. Consult the current
legislation in your country.

Please consult the list of seats approved
in your country. The isofix mountings, the
rear seats, the passenger air bag and the
disarming of this air bag depend on the
version sold.

Child safety

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS

The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child’s protection in
the event of an accident.

Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harnesses keeping the slack in
relation to the child’s body to a minimum ,
even for short journeys.

For optimum installation of the "forward
facing" child seat, ensure that the back of
the child seat is in contact with the back of
the vehicle’s seat and that the head restraint
does not cause any discomfort.

If the head restraint has to be removed,
ensure that it is stored or attached securely
to prevent it from being thrown around the
vehicle in the event of sharp braking.

Children under the age of 10 must not travel
in the "forward facing" position on the front
passenger seat, unless the rear seats are
already occupied by other children, cannot
be used or are absent.

Disarm the passenger air bag when a "rear
facing" child seat is installed on the front
seat.

Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the air bag were
to inflate.

As a safety precaution, do not leave:

- one or more children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,

- a child or an animal in a vehicle which
is exposed to the sun, with the windows
closed,

- the keys within reach of children inside
the vehicle.

To prevent accidental opening of the doors,
use the "Child Lock".

Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.

To protect young children from the rays of
the sun, fit side blinds to the rear windows.

Installing a booster seat

The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child’s shoulder without
touching the neck.

Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child’s thighs.

CITROËN recommends the use of a booster
seat which has a back, fitted with a seat belt
guide at shoulder level.

Towing a trailer

ACCESSORIES

TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...

For more information about weights,

refer to the administrative documents
(V5 registration document, ...) or to the
"Weights" section of chapter 8.

Driving advice

A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox in
neutral.

Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so that the

heaviest objects are as close as possible
to the axle and the nose weight is close to
the maximum authorised without, however,
exceeding it.

Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the

coolant temperature.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its

cooling capacity is not dependent on the
engine speed.

Towing a trailer

On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the
engine speed and reduce your speed.

In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.

Good Practice

In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a steep
slope in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power. In this
case, the automatic cutting off of the air
conditioning allows the engine power to be
recovered.

If the coolant temperature warning
light comes on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine as soon
as possible.

See the "Levels" section of chapter 6.

Tyres: check the tyre pressures of the

towing vehicle (see the "Identification
features" section of chapter 8) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressure.

Brakes
Towing increases the braking distance. Drive

at a moderate speed, change down early
and brake gradually.

Side wind
Sensitivity to side wind is increased. Drive

smoothly and at a moderate speed.

ABS/ESP
The ABS or ESP systems only control the

vehicle, not the trailer or caravan.

Rear parking assistance
The assistance does not function while the

vehicle is towing.

Towbar

We recommend the use of original
CITROËN towbars and their harnesses,
which have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle, and that
you entrust the fitting of this equipment to a
CITROËN dealer.

These regular maintenance operations

will keep your vehicle in good running
order. Consult the instructions at CITROËN
dealerships or in the servicing booklet
enclosed in the handbook pack.

If you have to remove/refit the engine

style cover, handle it with care to avoid

damaging the fixing clips.

Oil level

Check the level regularly and top up
between changes.

Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the dipstick.

Dipstick

There are two marks on the
dipstick:

A = maximum
If you fill past this mark,

contact a CITROËN dealer.
B = minimum
Never allow the level to fall

below this mark.

To maintain the reliability of engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives in engine oil is prohibited.

Oil change

It is imperative that this is carried out at the
intervals specified and the viscosity grade of
the oil selected must fulfil the requirements
in accordance with the manufacturer’s
servicing schedule. Consult the instructions
at CITROËN dealerships.

Remove the dipstick before filling.
For the 2 litre HDi engine, use the funnel

supplied when filling via the sump opening.
Check the level after filling (never exceed

the max mark).
Screw the cap back onto the sump before

closing the bonnet.

Viscosity selection

In all cases, the oil selected must meet the
manufacturer ’s requirements.

Changing the brake fluid

The brake fluid must be changed at
the intervals stated, according to the
manufacturer ’s servicing schedule.

Use fluids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4 standards.

The level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks on the reservoir.

If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a failure which must be checked by
a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.

Warning lights

Checking by means of the warning

lights on the instrument panel
is described in chapter 2, refer to the
"Instruments and controls" section.

Levels

CHECKS

Cooling system

Only use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer.

Otherwise, you risk seriously damaging your
engine.

When the engine is warm, the temperature
of the coolant is controlled by the engine
fan. As this fan can operate with the ignition
key removed and because the cooling
system is pressurised, wait for at least one
hour after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.

Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to release
the pressure to prevent any risk of scalding.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level with coolant.

If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a failure which must be checked by
a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.

Power steering fluid level

The vehicle must be parked on level ground
with the engine cold. Unscrew the cap
integrated with the gauge and check the
level which must be between the MIN and
MAX marks.

When this occurs with the engine running it
is due to the start of saturation of the particle
emission filter (exceptionally prolonged
urban type driving conditions: low speed,
long traffic jams, ...).

In order to regenerate the filter, you are
advised to drive at a speed higher than
40 mph (60 km/h) for at least five minutes
as soon as possible, when traffic conditions
permit (until the message disappears and
the service warning light is switched off).

During regeneration of the particle emission
filter, relay noise may be heard under the
fascia.

If the message is still displayed and if the
service warning light remains on, contact a
CITROËN dealer.

Topping up

The level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks on the expansion bottle. If
more than 1 litre of fluid is required to top
up the level, have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer.

Windscreen wash and headlamp
wash level

For best quality cleaning and for your safety,
we would advise that you use products of
the CITROËN Universal range.

Capacity of the screenwash reservoir:
approximately 4.5 litres.

If your vehicle is fitted with headlamp
washers, the capacity of the reservoir is

7.5 litres.
To guarantee optimum cleaning and prevent

freezing, this fluid must not be topped up or
replaced with water.

Diesel additive level (Diesel
with particle emission filter)

The minimum level of this additive

is indicated by lighting of the
service warning light, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message on the
display.

Topping up

It is imperative that this additive is topped up
by a CITROËN dealer without delay.

Checks

CHECKS

Battery

At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a CITROËN dealer.

Brake pads

Brake pad wear depends on the style of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the thickness of the
pads, even between services.

Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.

Brake disc/drum wear status

For any information relating to checking
the brake disc/drum wear status, contact a
CITROËN dealer.

Handbrake

Where the handbrake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the handbrake should be
adjusted, even between services.

Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer.

Oil filter

Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the servicing schedule.

Carbon filter and passenger
compartment filter

The carbon fi lter permits continuous and
effective fi ltering of dust.

If the passenger compartment fi lter becomes

clogged, this may reduce the performance
of the air conditioning system and generate
unpleasant odours.

We recommend the use of a combined

passenger compartment fi lter. By means of
its second special active fi lter, it contributes
to the purifi cation of the air breathed by the

occupants and the cleanness of the passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms,
unpleasant odours and greasy deposits).

Refer to the servicing booklet to fi nd out the

replacement interval for these components.
Depending on the environment (dusty

atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving...), change them twice as often
if necessary.

of chapter 6.

Particle emission filter (Diesel)

It is imperative that particle
emission filter maintenance is
carried out by a CITROËN dealer.

On acceleration after the vehicle
has been running for a prolonged period
at very low speed or at idle, you may, in
exceptional circumstances, notice the
emission of water vapour at the exhaust.
This water vapour does not have any
adverse effect on vehicle handling or the
environment.

Bleeding the water contained in the
diesel filter

If this warning light comes on,
bleed the filter. Otherwise bleed
regularly each time the engine is
drained.

To evacuate the water, unscrew the bleed
screw located on the filter.

Operate until all of the water in the
transparent pipe has been drained out then
tighten the bleed screw.

HDi engines use advanced technology.
All work requires a special qualification

which is guaranteed by a CITROËN dealer.

Manual gearbox

Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer ’s servicing schedule.

To check the main levels and certain

components, in accordance with the
manufacturer ’s servicing schedule, refer to
the pages of the Maintenance and Warranty
Guide which correspond to your vehicle’s
engine.

Only use products recommended by

CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and specification.

In order to optimise the operation of units as
important as the braking system, CITROËN
selects and offers specific products.

In order to avoid damaging the electrical
units, high pressure washing to clean the
engine compartment is strictly prohibited.

FILLING WITH FUEL

Low fuel level

When this warning light fi rst comes

on and when the needle is at the
start of the red zone, the minimum
fuel tank level has been reached.

At this moment, you have approximately
8 litres of fuel remaining.

Fill up without delay to avoid running out of fuel.

Never continue to drive until you run
out of fuel as this may damage the
emission control and injection systems.

Filling with fuel
The fuel tank must be filled with the engine

off .

When filling with fuel, do not open the

left-hand side door, if fitted on your
vehicle, as there is a risk of damage to the
fuel filler flap.

- Open the fuel filler flap.
Insert the key, then turn it a quarter turn.

- Remove the cap and hook it onto the

clip located on the inside of the flap.

Fuel

It is normal to hear an air intake noise when
the cap is opened as there is a vacuum
linked with the sealing of the fuel circuit.

A label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be used.

More than 8 litres of fuel must be added in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge.

When filling the fuel tank, do not continue
after the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle. This could
cause malfunctions.

The capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 80 litres.

- After filling the fuel tank, lock the cap
and close the flap.

Quality of the fuel used for petrol engines

The petrol engines are perfectly compatible
with E10 type petrol biofuels (containing
10 % ethanol), conforming to European
standards EN 228 and EN 15376.

E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 %
ethanol) are reserved exclusively for
vehicles marketed for the use of this type
of fuel (BioFlex vehicles). The quality of
the ethanol must comply with European
standard EN 15376.

For Brazil only, special vehicles are
marketed to run on fuels containing up to
100 % ethanol (type E100).

Quality of the fuel used for Diesel
engines

The Diesel engines are perfectly compatible
with biofuels which conform to current
and future European standards (diesel
fuel which complies with standard EN 590
mixed with a biofuel which complies with
standard EN 14214) available at the pumps
(containing up to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl
Ester).

The B30 biofuel can be used in certain
Diesel engines; however, this use is subject
to strict application of the special servicing
conditions. Consult a CITROËN dealer.

The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk of
damage to the engine and fuel circuit).

In a serious collision, a mechanism
automatically prevents fuel from reaching
the engine.

The flashing of this warning light
is accompanied by a message on
the display.

Check that there is no odour or leakage of
fuel outside the vehicle and re-establish the
fuel supply:

- switch off the ignition (STOP position).

- remove the key.

- put the key back in the ignition.

- switch on the ignition and start.

If you should run out of fuel, it is necessary
to re-prime the circuit:

- fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of
diesel,

- squeeze and release the manual re­priming pump, under the bonnet under
the protective cover, until fuel appears in
the transparent pipe,

- operate the starter until the engine
starts.

Battery

BATTERY

This is housed in a compartment located
underneath the floor, in front of the driver’s
seat.

To charge the battery using a battery
charger

- Disconnect the battery,

- Follow the instructions for use given by
the battery charger manufacturer,

- Reconnect starting with the negative (-)
terminal,

- Check that the terminals and connectors
are clean. If they are covered with
sulphate (white or greenish deposit),
disconnect them and clean them

To start the vehicle from another
battery

- Connect the red cable to the positive (+)
terminals of the two batteries,

- Connect one end of the green or black
cable to the negative (-) terminal of the
slave battery,

- Connect the other end of the green or
black cable to an earth point on the
broken down vehicle as far as possible
from the battery,

- Operate the starter, let the engine run,

- Wait for the engine to return to idle, then
disconnect the cables.

It is advisable to disconnect the battery
if the vehicle is not to be used for a
period of more than one month.

Before disconnecting the battery, you must
wait for 2 minutes after switching off the
ignition.

Never disconnect a terminal when the
engine is running.

Never charge a battery without first
disconnecting the terminals.

After every reconnection of the battery,
switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute
before starting to allow the electronic
systems to be initialised. If slight difficulties
are experienced after this, please contact a
CITROËN dealer.

After the engine has stopped, with the key
in the ignition position, certain functions
(windscreen wiper, electric windows, courtesy
lights, audio equipment, etc.) can only be
used for a cumulative duration of thirty
minutes, to prevent discharging of the battery.

Once the thirty minutes are over, the active
functions are put on standby and the battery
warning light flashes accompanied by a
message on the display.

To resume the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run
for a few minutes.

The time available will then be double the
time for which the engine was left running.
However, this time will always be between
five and thirty minutes.

A flat battery will prevent the engine from
starting.

Repairing a wheel

PUNCTURE REPAIR KIT

The temporary tyre repair kit consists of
a compressor and a bottle (containing a
sealant).

Vehicles supplied with a temporary puncture
repair kit do not have a spare wheel or
tooling (jack, wheelbrace, ...).

Using the kit

1. Tick the deflated wheel on the speed

limitation sticker then affix the sticker to
the vehicle’s steering wheel to remind
you that a wheel is in temporary use.

2. Clip the bottle 1 on the compressor 2 .

3. Connect the bottle 1 to the valve of the

tyre to be repaired.

4. Take care to unwind the compressor

pipe before connecting it to the bottle.

5. Connect the power lead to one of the

vehicle’s 12 V sockets.

6. Switch on the compressor by pressing
button A until the tyre pressure reaches

2.0 bars. If this pressure cannot be
reached, the tyre cannot be repaired.

7. Remove and store the compressor.

8. Drive immediately, for a few miles
(kilometres), at reduced speed, to fill the
puncture.

9. Adjust the pressure using the
compressor in accordance with the
recommendation for the vehicle and
check that the leak is filled correctly (no
further loss of pressure).

10. Drive at reduced speed (50 mph [80 km/h]).
The tyre must be examined and repaired by
a professional as soon as possible.

After use, the bottle can be stored in a
plastic bag, supplied in the kit, to avoid
staining your vehicle with traces of fluid.

Warning: the bottle of gel contains
ethylene-glycol, a product which is
harmful if swallowed and which causes

irritation to the eyes.
Keep it out of reach of children.
After use, do not discard the bottle into the

environment, take it to a CITROËN dealer or
to an specialised waste disposal site.

Replacement bottles of sealant are available
from CITROËN dealers.
