CITROËN and TOTAL
A partnership of expertise
For 39 years, the research teams of CITROëN and TOTAL have combined their know-how to offer you the best engine/lubricant combination available. Cut­ting edge technology for your benefit. With TOTAL, you can be sure to have chosen the benchmark oil that best guarantees your C
ITROëN’s performance and life-ex-
pectancy.
A partnership for the environment
TOTAL oils support CITROëN’s advances in fuel economy, and C0
2
and harmful emission reductions. The development of new generation oils specially adapted for Particle Filters, like TOTAL ACTIVA/QUARTZ INEO ECS can reduce C0
2
emissions by a tonne* and save a
tank of fuel each year**.
* Official C02 emissions reduction of 4 g per km (approx. 6 g per mile). Corresponds to a reduction in C02 emissions
of 1 tonne throughout the life of the vehicle, on a private diesel vehicle with an average life expectancy estimated at 250 000 km (approx. 160 000 miles). Source: TOTAL.
*
* Or 30 L, average quantity of fuel required to fill a tank at a petrol station. Result obtained using TOTAL ACTIVA/
QUARTZ INEO ECS oil instead of a traditional 15W-40 oil, on a CITROëN C4 1.6 HDi, whose average fuel con­s
umption is 58.9 mpg (4.8 L/100 km), travelling 18 000 km (approx. 12 000 miles) per year. Source: TOTAL
A partnership of success
Competitive successes in the national rallies of the World Rally Championship bear testament to the performance and efficiency of the C
ITROëN – TOTAL
partnership.

Observation: A
fter prolonged idling or driving at very low speeds, you may occasionally notice water va­pour being emitted from the exhaust when accelerating. This is of no consequence to the running of the vehicle or to the environment.
Diesel fuel additive level
If the additive level is low, a message appears in the multifunction

The maintenance indicator informs you when the next service is due, in conformity with the servicing pro­gramme detailed in the vehicle’s Maintenance Guide. This informa­tion is determined depending on two parameters: the mileage travel­led and the time elapsed since the previous service.
Operation
When the ignition is switched on and for several seconds afterwards, the maintenance spanner symbol appears; the total mileage recorder shows how many miles remain to be travelled before the next service is due (in thousands and hundreds of miles).
Functioning if the distance to the next service is less than 600
miles

our CITROËN dealer performs this operation after each service. Howe­ver, if you carry out the servicing yourself, the procedure for resetting to zero is as follows:
-
Switch off the ignition, then place
the key on position S, steering lock.
-
Press control 1 and keep it
pressed.
-
Switch on the ignition.
- Keep control
1 pressed until
the zero appears and the maintenance symbol disappears.

VENTILATION
Air intake
Make sure that the exterior air inlet grille at the base of the windscreen is clean (free of dead leaves, snow etc.).
If washing the vehicle with a high pressure jet, take care to avoid tar­geting close to the air inlet.
Air vents
The air vents have grilles for direct-
ing the ow of air (up/down, right/
left) with controls for adjusting the volume of air.
Air circulation
Optimal comfort is obtained by a good distribution of air in the front and the rear of the passenger com­partment.
To ensure efcient operation, take
care not to obstruct the air outlets located under the front seats.
Pollen lter/odour lter (active carbon)
Your installation has a lter for exclud­ing dust and restricting disagreeable odours.
This lter needs to be changed accord­ing to the maintenance requirements. (See: Maintenance Guide).

Air conditioning
At any time of year, the air condition­ing is useful for removing air humidity and misting.
To keep the air conditioning com­pressor well sealed, it is essential to operate the air conditioning at least once in every month.
To be effective, the air conditioning should only be used with the win­dows closed.
If you are towing a heavy trailer or if outside temperatures are very high, the air conditioning may be tempo­rarily interrupted in favour of engine cooling.
Sensor
The automatic air conditioning inside the passenger compartment makes use of the sunlight sensor, which is located on the dashboard behind the instrument panel.
Take care not to obstruct it.
Water arising from condensation in the air conditioning is allowed to drain out through an aperture provided for this purpose; a pool of water may thus form beneath the vehicle when stationary.
You are recommended to have the air conditioning system checked on a regular basis (see Maintenance Guide).
The air conditioning uses energy from the engine to operate. This re­sults in extra fuel consumption

This position is for exclud­ing disagreeable odours or emissions coming from outside the cabin. With a
press on control 2, the entry of air from outside is closed off, the lamp comes on.
This should be cancelled as soon as possible to prevent misting and to allow fresh air into the cabin.
To deactivate air recirculation, press again on control 2, the warning lamp goes out.

Notes:
- When you enter the vehicle, the temperature inside the vehicle may be much colder (or warmer) than a comfortable temperature. It is no use modifying the displayed temperature to try to attain the desired level of comfort. The system automatically strives to compensate this temperature discrepancy as rapidly as possible.
-
When starting the engine from
cold, in order to avoid distributing too much cold air, the blower will attain its optimum level gradually.

It is dangerous to deadlock
the vehicle when someone is
inside as unlocking from the
interior is impossible (without
the remote control).
In the event of loss of the
keys go to a CITROËN dealer
with proof of ownership of the
vehicle.
The CITROËN dealer network
will be able to recover
the key code and the
transponder code to order
replacement keys.
Central locking using the key
A brief action with the key locks the vehicle.
Central deadlocking using the key
A second action straight away with the key deadlocks the vehicle. It is then impossible to open the doors from either inside or outside the vehicle.
A long action with the key closes the windows.
Note: With the vehicle stationary and the engine switched off, locking
is signalled by the ashing of the
interior locking control warning lamp.
If any of the doors, or the boot, is open or not properly closed, central locking does not operate.
KEYS
Electronic immobiliser
The key contains a coded electronic chip. When switching on, the code must be recognised to allow the engine to be started.
This electronic immobiliser locks the engine management system a few seconds after switching off the ignition, and prevents unauthorised starting of the engine.
For any modication concerning
the keys it is essential to contact a CITROËN dealer taking all of the
keys in your possession with you.
Advice
If the key is not recognised, starting is not possible.
If this occurs, leave your vehicle immobilised and contact a CITROËN dealer.

Warning: By inadvertently actioning the remote control, when
for example it is in your pocket, you can unlock the vehicle without
your realising it.
However, if no door is opened with 30 seconds of unlocking, the
vehicle locks itself again automatically, without arming the alarm.
Warning: There a is a risk of damage if the replacement
battery is not the correct one.
Only use batteries that are identical or equivalent to those
approved by CITROËN.
Changing the remote control battery
Unclip the cover to gain access to the battery. Battery: CR 0523: 3
V.
Re-initialisation of the remote control
After a change of battery, it is necessary to re-initialise the remote control. To do that, switch on the ignition and immediately action button A on your remote control to trigger the action desired. This may take some ten seconds.
Do not throw away the old batteries. They should be returned to the CITROËN dealer or deposited in a recognised recycling facility.
Take care not to place the remote control in contact with grease or
dust, or leave it in the rain or in a damp environment.
A hard object also on the key ring, pressing on the key while it is in
the ignition, can cause a malfunction.

Arming the alarm using the remote control
Switch off the ignition and leave the vehicle.
Ensure that all doors and the boot are closed.
Lock the vehicle using button A on the remote control.
When the alarm is armed, the protections become active within 5
seconds (perimeter) and
45 seconds (volumetric).
Your vehicle may be equipped with an anti-intrusion alarm.
This ensures:
Exterior perimeter protection by
means of detectors on the access points (doors, tailgate, bonnet) as well as on the electrical supply.
Interior volumetric protection
by means of ultrasonic sensors (detecting movement inside the passenger compartment).
This
can be deactivated using
control 1.
The installation also includes a siren and a warning lamp 2 visible from the outside, indicating the three possible alarm statuses:
Alarm not armed (not on standby),
warning lamp off.
Alarm armed (on standby), the
warning lamp ashes slowly.
Alarm triggered (signalling an
intrusion), the warning lamp ashes
rapidly if the alarm is disarmed with
a press on button B. It stops
ashing as soon as you switch on
the ignition.
Note: in the event of a malfunction, the warning lamp 2 comes on con­tinuously.
ANTI-INTRUSION ALARM
Triggering
Provided the alarm is armed, any intrusion triggers the siren for
30 seconds, accompanied by
the illumination of the direction indicators.
The alarm then reverts to armed status, but the deployment remains memorised and is signalled by the
rapid ashing of the alarm warning
lamp 2 when you press the unlocking button B. The ashing stops when you switch on the ignition.
The siren is also triggered if there is a cutting of the electrical supply. To stop it, restore the electrical supply then give a press on the unlocking button B.

Deactivation of volumetric detection
The alarm is able to operate with only perimeter protection if you deactivate the volumetric protection (if for example you wish to leave an animal in the vehicle).
To do this, switch off the ignition, then press immediately on control 1 for at least one second.
The warning lamp 2 should be on
permanently. It will start to ash
when the alarm activates. Arm the alarm by locking your
vehicle using the remote control.
Disarming the alarm using the remote control
The alarm is disarmed when you unlock the vehicle (by pressing button B on the remote control).
Disarming the alarm using the key
Unlock the doors with the key. The siren is triggered. Enter the vehicle and switch on the ignition to stop the siren. Otherwise the siren will continue for about 30
seconds.
Note:
If you wish to lock your vehicle
without arming the alarm, just lock the vehicle with the key.
If you try to lock your vehicle when
a door or the boot is still open, the central locking will not operate, but your alarm becomes armed after approx. 45 seconds.
Note: the siren is automatically disarmed (for example if you need to disconnect the battery) immediately after you unlock the vehicle using the remote control.
Automatic activation (depending on country)
The alarm arms automatically 2
minutes after the boot or the last
door is closed. In order to prevent the alarm then
being triggered by a door or the boot being opened, it is essential to press again on the unlocking button B on the remote control.

When children are in the car
For maximum safety, consult the relevant authority in your country to be sure that you know the rules for the carrying of children. Observe the following recommendations:
In accordance with European Regulations, all children of under 12 years of age or of height less than 1m 50 must be carried in approved child seats suitable for their age and weight, on seats equipped with a seat belt or ISOFIX anchorage. Check that the child seat is in compliance with current legislation, ensuring that it bears an orange label featuring the range of weights for which it is suitable as well as its approval no.
children under 9 kg must be carried in a rear-facing child seat, whether installed in the front or at the back.
It is recommended to use this position for as long as possible (up to 2 or 3 years old).
Statistically, the safest seats for the carrying of children are the vehicle’s rear seat positions.
CITROËN recommends you to install your child in one of the rear seat positions, even when using a rear-facing child seat.
Children must not under any pretext be carried on the knees of a passenger (risk of being thrown against the dashboard or windscreen should there be a collision).
Children must not be allowed to stand between the backrests of the front seats, as they could be thrown forwards under sudden braking or in the event of a collision.
The rear doors are equipped with a "Child Safety" locking device. This allows the doors to be opened from the outside unless they are under central locking.
Each time you switch on the ignition, check that this device is activated.
Never leave a child in a vehicle that is exposed to sunshine.
Before opening a door, make sure that it is safe to do so.
When leaving your vehicle, remove the ignition key and properly apply the parking brake.
Do not leave the key in the vehicle, as children could lock themselves in, either using the remote control or by pressing the central locking button.
Children should not be left alone in the vehicle.
Regulations for the carriage of children in the front passenger seat position
If the child is travelling in a rear­facing child seat, it is essential to deactivate the passenger's front airbag. Otherwise the child risks being killed or seriously injured should the airbag deploy.
In the front passenger's seat, chil­dren less than 10 years of age must not be carried "forward-fac­ing", except if:
The rear seats are occupied by other children.
The rear seats cannot be used (if they are folded or not present).
If your child is travelling forward­facing in the front passenger seat position, slide the front passenger seat to an intermediate position and leave the airbag activated.

CITROËN offers you a complete range of child seats that can be secured by means of the vehicle seat belt. These child seats have been tested on vehicles in colli­sion conditions and they guarantee maximum safety for your children. They have also been selected for their ease of installation as well as for the comfort of the child.
In all cases, be sure to follow the
child seat tting instructions as
detailed in the installation manual provided by the seat manufac­turer.
GROUP 0+ from birth to 13 kg (around 1 year old)
Römer Baby-Safe Plus (L1): rear­facing, for use with a three-point seat belt. The deep, reinforced shell is designed to provide the maximum protection to the child in the event of a lateral impact.
GROUPS 2/3 (from 15 to 36 kg) Recaro Start (L2): for use with a
three-point seat belt. The height and width of the backrest as well as the length of the seat cushion should be adjusted depending on the age and girth of your child.
Klippan Optima (L3): for use with a three-point seat belt. From 6 years old (approx. 22 kg), only height adjustment is required.
GROUPS 1/2/3 (from 9 to 36 kg) Kiddy Life (L4): for use with a
three-point seat belt. The height and width of the backrest as well as the length of the seat cushion should be adjusted depending on the age and girth of your child. For the safety of young children (from 9 to 18 kg), CITROËN recommends you to use the protection apron.
Other child seats are recom­mended: see ISOFIX child seats in the handbook. See "Child restraints".
The majority of serious injuries resulting from accidents occur when a child either is not secured or is secured incorrectly.
It is essential to adhere to the child seat tting instructions
as detailed in the installation manual provided by the seat manufacturer. ISOFIX child seats are particularly recommended for their ease and safety of use.
When a rear-facing child seat is installed on the front passenger’s seat, the front passenger’s airbag must be deactivated. Otherwise there is a risk of death or serious injury to the child on deployment of the airbag.

ISOFIX anchoring points and the ISOFIX fastening system
The lateral rear seat positions are equipped with the ISOFIX regulation anchorages.
Some ISOFIX child seats also have a top belt, which is for attaching on the ISOFIX "top" ring
c.
To attach the top belt, raise the head restraint of the vehicle seat, then pass the buckle between the two
supports. Next x the buckle on the
"top" ring c and tension the top belt. In all cases, the head restraint has
to be raised to the maximum.
This xing system is intended for
children weighing up to 18 kg.
There are 3 rings for each seat position:
-
Two "bottom" rings a and b located
between the backrest and the vehicle seat. These are about 28 cm apart.
-
One "top" ring c located in the boot
between the wheelarch and the seat backrest.
ISOFIX child seats have two latches which are easy to secure on the two "bottom" rings a and
b.

Incorrect installation of a child seat in a vehicle compromises protection of the child in the event of a collision.
The ISOFIX fastening system enables you to reduce those risks
posed by incorrect tting, offering
you a convenient, strong and
reliable tting for a child seat in your
vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seat recommended for your vehicle is: ISOFIX RÖMER Duo:
It is sold by the CITROËN net­work. This seat has an upper strap, which must be attached to the ISOFIX "upper tether".
The RÖMER Duo Plus ISOFIX is
approved specically for your vehicle.
If it is installed in a rear seat position, the vehicle’s corresponding front seat should be adjusted so that the child’s feet do not touch the backrest of this front seat.
This ISOFIX child seat can also be installed in seat positions that are not equipped with ISOFIX anchoring points. In this case, it is compulsory to secure it to the vehicle seat by means of the vehicle seat belt.

Rear doors are locked by operat­ing the lever on the rear face of the door in question. When the manual safety is in use, the aperture is horizontal.
Electric operation
The electrical safety is activated by pressing the control located to the rear of the electric windows panel. This prohibits movement of the rear electric windows and rear passenger doors.
It is still possible to open the doors from the outside, provided the vehi­cle is not locked.
This system is independent of and in no way replaces the central locking.
Check the status of the child safety locks every time the igni­tion is switched on.
Always remove the ignition key when leaving the vehicle even if only for a short time.
In the event of a violent impact, the electric child safety locks are deactivated automatically to allow rear passenger to get out of the vehicle.
If the child safety lock is activated, the warning lamp comes on for approx­imately 10 seconds when switching on the ignition.

The STOP warning lamp
lights up and a vehicle
outline is displayed.
The wheel(s) concerned
will be shown ashing on
the vehicle outline. Stop the vehicle immediately, avoiding
any violent actions on the steering
wheel or brakes.
Puncture
Change the damaged wheel (whether punctured or substantially deated), have the tyre repaired as soon as possible, then check the tyre pressure as soon as you can after that.
The wheel affected will no longer be detectable by the alert system if it
is in the boot or undergoing repair
(information given by the vehicle
outline). The spare wheel will not be monitored by the alert system.
The SERVICE warning
lamp lights up and
a vehicle outline is
displayed. The wheel(s)
concerned will be shown as absent on the vehicle

Braking system
Your vehicle’s most important safety feature, the braking system, is pro-
vided by brake discs (or discs and
drums) and a dual hydraulic circuit. When the engine is running, power
assistance is provided so that pedal effort is reduced.
On wet roads, or after washing the vehicle, there can be a slight delay in brake response. From time to time, apply the brakes briey so that the heat generated can dispel any moisture.
When the engine is not
running, the braking sys­tem will not have power-
assistance.
The effort required on the brake pe dal wil l be con side rabl y increased.
Take al l reaso nabl e safet y precautions if you have to move the vehicle.
Never drive the vehicle without
the engine running.
BRAKES
ABS - Anti-lock Braking System
This system improves vehi­cle safety by preventing the
wheels from locking under emer­gency braking or when braking on
surfaces offering poor adhesion. It thus allows control of the steering
to be retained. The operational capacity of the vari-
ous electrical components of the ABS is continuously monitored, both before and during your journey. On switching on the ignition, the ABS warning lamp will light up and then should go out after a few seconds.
If the warning lamp stays on, this
means that the ABS has been dis­connected because a fault was
detected. If the warning lamp lights up when you are driving, this means that the ABS system is not active.
Emergency braking assistance
This system enables you in an
emergency to achieve the optimum braking pressure, thus to reduce the stopping distance. It is triggered by your speed of action on the brake pedal, which reduces its resistance to that action. Keep the brake pedal pressed until the vehicle comes to a stop.
In the event of emergency braking, press and keep the pedal down very rmly without reducing the level of effort.
In either case, the normal braking system remains effective, as on a vehicle without ABS. Nevertheless,
to restore the additional safety af-
forded by correct functioning of ABS,
it is recommended that the vehicle
be taken to a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.
On slippery roads (loose stones, snow, ice, etc.), it remains essential to drive with caution.
If the parking brake is off, the lighting of this warning lamp, in conjunction with the STOP warning lamp, indicates that the brake uid level is
low or that the braking distributor is
malfunctioning.
It is essential to stop the vehicle.
Contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.

SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
The ESP system offers increased driving safety but is not in place to
encourage the driver to take addi­tional risks or to drive at excessive
speeds.
The functioning of this system is sub­ject to compliance with the manufac­turer’s recommendations on wheels
(tyres and rims), brake parts and elec­tronic components, as well as with CITROËN’s assembly and repair pro­cedures.
After any collision, have this system checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) and Traction Control (ASR)
These systems are closely con­nected to the ABS and additional
to it. Where a difference is detected
between the trajectory followed by the vehicle and that wanted by the driver, the ESP system acts au- tomatically on the brake of one or more wheels to return the vehicle to
the trajectory wanted, within the lim­its of the laws of physics. The ASR system optimises traction and pre­vents wheel spin by acting on the brakes of the driving wheels. It also improves steering stability during acceleration.

In exceptional conditions (vehicle stuck in snow, soft ground, etc.) it may prove useful to deactivate the ESP/ASR system to allow the wheels to spin and thus regain traction.
Press on control A, the ESP/ASR warning lamp and the control light up. The ESP/ASR systems are no
longer active.
The ESP/ASR systems will activate
again:
-
Automatically after the ignition
has been switched off.
-
Automatically when you drive at
above approx. 30 mph.
-
Manually with another press on
control A.
Operational anomaly
If there is a system malfunction, the ESP/ASR warning lamp comes on. Contact CITROËN to have the sys­tem checked.
Operation
When either the ESP or ASR sys­tem is brought into operation, the ESP/ASR warning lamp ashes.

Raise then lock part A, to retain the
seat belt buckle when it is unfas-
tened. It is necessary to remove the seat
belt from the buckle retainer before moving the seat to access the rear
seat positions.
As a safety measure, these operations should only be done at standstill.
Seat belt height adjustment (5-door model)
The correct positioning for the seat
belt anchorage is mid-shoulder
height. To adjust it, pinch the control and
slide it in the desired direction.

Legislation makes it compulsory for all the vehicle's occupants to wear seat belts, including pregnant women and however short the journey.
Inside the cabin, the seat belt is the most important protection for pas­sengers.
A warning lamp informs you if the driver's and/or front/rear passen­gers' seat belts are not fastened, when the ignition is switched on.
In the event of a collision or on emer­gency braking, the seat belt will hold you in your seat, preventing you from being thrown from the vehicle.
Pyrotechnically pretensioned seat belts with force-limiters
In the event of a collision:
The pretensioners pull back the front seat belts. The occupants are thus held more rmly against their seats.
The force limiters reduce the pres- sure of the seat belt against the
occupant’s chest, thus enhancing the protection that the seat belt provides.
Warning
When the pretensioners are deployed, there is a light discharge of harmless smoke and a loud noise,
both due to the detonation of the
integral explosive cartridges that activate them.
Depending on the nature and the force of the impact, this triggering may happen prior to, and independently of, the deployment of the airbags.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes on.
Seat b elts and pyro-
t
echnic pretensioner
systems
They must be replaced following a deployment, preferably by a CITROËN dealer or by an authori­sed repairer.
D
ue to the safety regulations
in forc e, a ny c hec k or a ny
replacement should preferably be
carried out by the CITROËN
network which guarantees the
work and ensures that it is done
correctly.
Any repair that is not done in strict compliance with require­ments could result in the sys­tems operating incorrectly or randomly, with the risk of bodily injuries being caused.

Fastening
Pull the belt down in front of you in a steady movement, making sure that it does not become twisted.
Press the fastening into its buckle. Check that the seat belt has fas-
tened correctly and that the auto­matic reel lock is working correctly
by pulling the strap. The abdominal part of the strap
should be positioned as low down as possible in the lap and as tight as possible.
The chest part should be positioned if possible in the channel of the shoulder.
Each belt has a reel that adjusts its length automatically to the girth of
the seat occupant.
Positioning of the belt recommended for pregnant women
Position the lower part of the belt as low down as possible on the lap, so that it exerts no pressure on the abdomen.
Always adjust your seat belt while the vehicle is stationary. The driver must ensure that all the passengers have correctly
fastened their seat belts. Do not pass the belt over hard or breakable objects that you
may have in your pockets. Never use clamps or clips to loosen your seat belt. Never carry a child on your knee. Regularly check the condition and cleanliness of the seat belts. See
"Maintenance". Have the seat belts checked periodically by a CITROËN dealer as
well as after any accident, even a minor one.
Unfastening
Press the red button on the buckle to unfasten the belt.
The belt retracts automatically when
not in use.
Recommendations
To be effective, a seat belt:
Must be able to restrain a single
person of adult size.
Must not bear any signs of being
cut or frayed.
Do not swap buckles, as then they would not full their proper roles.
Before and after use, make sure that the belt is correctly retracted.
If the seats have armrests, the central part of the belt should pass underneath.

AIRBAGS
Replacement of the pyro­technic systems associa­ted with the airbags
After the airbags have been deployed, the pyrotechnic sys­tems have to be changed in strict
compliance with the manufac­turer's specications.
Your vehicle may have:
A driver’s airbag located in the
steering wheel, under the central cover.
A passenger's airbag in the dash­board.
Two side airbags located in the backrests of the driver’s seat
and front passenger’s seat (door side).
Two curtain airbags located on
the interior edges of the roof.
The control unit for the airbags and sensors analyses any frontal and
lateral impacts suffered in the colli­sion detection zones (see illustration p
91).
According to the degree of serious-
ness of impacts, it determines:
Whether the seat belt is sufcient to protect you (Slight impact).
Whether the seat belt preten­sioner needs to be additionally actioned in order to hold you in
your seat (Medium impact).
Whether the airbag should be
deployed in addition to the two initial systems (Violent impact).
Never deactivate the passenger's airbag when a passenger is present
(unless a child in a rear-facing child
seat). See "Passenger's airbag deactivation".
Each time you switch on the ignition, a warning lamp in the dashboard lights up for a few seconds and then goes out.
Consult a CITROËN dealer in the
following situations:
The warning lamp ashes for a
few minutes then remains on. The warning lamp does not light
up.
A message appears on the display.

Side airbags and curtain airbags
Deployment of these airbags requires a violent lateral impact applied on all or part of one of the lateral collision zones, coming in a horizontal plane from the side.
The role of the side airbag is to
place itself between the occupant (driver or front passenger) and the door panel, thus limiting the risk of injuries to the chest.
Front airbags and knees airbags
For these airbags to deploy, it requires a violent frontal impact applied on all or part of the frontal impact zone (see illustration) from forward of the vehicle in a horizontal plane.
The airbag interposes itself between the vehicle's front occupant and the dashboard to cushion the person from being thrown forward. The air-
bag thus limits the risk of trauma to
the head and chest. For the driver, the knees airbag protects the knees.
The front passenger’s airbag can be deactivated. see "Passenger's air­bag deactivation".
Examples of impact detection zones
The role of the curtain airbag is to
place itself between the front or rear occupant and the windows,
thus limiting the risk of injuries to
the head. These airbags may not deploy if
there is only a slight collision on the
side of the vehicle, or if the vehicle rolls over. They will not deploy for a front or rear collision.

To reactivate the front passenger’s airbag
Don’t forget to reactivate the airbag
function for a passenger or a forward facing child seat.
To do that, with ignition switched off:
- Insert and turn the key to the "ON"
position, the airbag is activated.
The warning lamp in the instrument panel comes on for a few seconds when you switch the ignition on.
The front passenger’s airbag can be deactivated.
Passenger’s airbag deactivation
In order to be able to use a "rear-fac­ing" child seat in the front passenger position, it is essential to deactivate the passenger airbag.
To do that :
- With the ignition off, insert the key
into the switch A, located in the glovebox.
- Turn the key to position "OFF".
The passenger’s airbag is deacti­vated.
The
front passenger airbag deac­tivation warning lamp in the instru­ment panel lights up (ignition on).
If there is a malfunction, the "airbag fault" warning lamp comes on.
In
the front passenger’s seat
position, it is essential to deac­tivate the front passenger’s air­bag whenever a "rear-facing" child seat is installed there.
Otherwise the child risks being killed or seriously injured should the airbag deploy.

The wearing of seat belts is compulsory for all vehi­cle occupants. Inside the cabin, the seat belt is the
most important protection for
passengers.
The airbag is a protection in addi­tion to the seat belt. Its effective­ness requires the seat belt to be
worn
correctly.
Children under ten years of age
should always be carried in the rear
seats. See "Child safety". The driver and passengers must
adopt a normal, vertical sitting posi­tion that is compatible with deploy­ment of the airbags. See "Driving position".
Never attach anything to the stee­ring wheel central cover, to the sides
of the front seats or to the vehicle
pillars or roof (risk of injuries should the airbags deploy).
Hold the steering wheel in the "quar­ter-past-nine" position: do not hold it
by the branches or rest your hands
on its central cover. Smoke as little as possible in the
vehicle (risk of burns or injury should
the airbag be deployed).
Do not leave any accessory or object on the dashboard or between your body and the airbag (risk of
malfunction or personal injury).
Fit only seat covers that are approved by CITROËN.
Do not put your feet on the dash-
board (risk of injury should the front
passenger airbag deploy). The airbags do not deploy in the
case of a slight collision or an impact
at the rear of the vehicle or in certain
manoeuvring conditions. The deployment of one or more air-
bags is accompanied by a small release of unharmful smoke, as well
as by a detonation that is caused by
the activation of the pyrotechnic car­tridge integral to the system. This
smoke is not toxic but may be an
irritant to persons who are sensitive.
The noise of the detonation may
affect hearing for a brief time. Vacate the vehicle as soon as pos-
sible after the accident (provided it is safe to do so). If this is not possible, open the windows or doors.
Even observing all the advised pre­cautions, the risk of injury or slight burning to the head, chest or arms during deployment of an airbag can­not be ruled out. In fact, ination of
the airbag is virtually instantaneous
(approx. 30 milliseconds); then it deates in the same time, emitting hot gases through holes provided for this purpose. This equipment works only once. It cannot operate to pro­vide further protection in the event of a second impact.
It is imperative to have the system overhauled in strict compliance with the manufacturer's speci-
cations.

Any operation under the bonnet necessitates a number of safety pre­cautions.
Be particularly careful both before and
during all checks under the bonnet:
Allow the engine to cool down.
Keep children away from the ve- hicle.
Make sure that you possess the necessary tools and expertise.
Bonnet
Before opening the bonnet, make
sure that your hands and clothing
are protected. Allow the engine to cool down.
Make sure that the bonnet is stable
in the open position. Beware of gusts
of wind that could cause the bonnet
to fall and cause seriuous injuries.
Work in safety
The rst rule of safety is to choose a suitable environment.
Do not use open roads or public rights of way. Other trafc repre­sents a hazard.
If you need the engine running,
work outdoors and not
in a conned
space as there is a health risk from exhaust gases.
Make sure that your vehicle is not
parked over inammable materials (dry grass, fuels, etc.) as the very high temperatures associated with
the catalytic converter could ignite
them. Choose rm, level ground sheltered
from the wind. Keep children away from the vehicle.
SAFETY ADVICE
Puncture
Switch on your hazard warning lamps and get all passengers away to a place of safety, well away from the trafc (for example behind crash barriers or on the grass verge).
Position the jack correctly to ensure that the vehicle is stable. See "Changing a wheel".
Never attempt any repairs under a vehicle that has been jacked up, without rst supporting it on axle stands or some other reliable sup­port.
Moving parts
There will be a certain number of
moving parts when the engine is running.
Even when the engine is switched
off, the cooling fan could still operate without warning. D
o not wear loose
clothing (ties, scarfs, etc.), tie back long hair, all of which could become entangled in a pulley or be dragged into a drive belt.
On the road
If a warning lamp comes on while you are driving, stop the vehicle with
due regard to the safety of other road
users and switch off the ignition.

Radiator
In normal usage, the coolant tempe­rature
reaches or exceeds 100 °C.
Never remove the cap of a radia-
tor that is hot: there is danger from
projection of scalding liquid and steam. See "Levels".
The antifreeze contained in the cool­ant lends it the following properties:
Protection against low tempera­tures (initial protection: -35
°C). Anti-corrosion protection. Resistance to high operating
temperatures.
See the Maintenance Guide.
Fuel cut-off switch
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device which cuts off the fuel
supply in the event of a collision.
Oil
In normal use, the engine oil can exceed
temperatures of 130 °C and
thus can cause serious burns.
Exhaust system
Beware of the very high tempera­tures attained by the various com-
ponents of the exhaust system (risk of burns).
Petrol
Be extremely careful when decanting
or draining petrol or when repairing petrol leaks because of the high risk of re.
Diesel fuel
The diesel fuel system of an HDi
vehicle is a high pressure system. Any repair work must be carried out by suitably qualied personnel, such as can be guaranteed by the CITROËN network.
At all times:
Avoid attempting repairs while close to moving trafc. If this is absolutely necessary, take all possible precautions.
Ensure that your passengers seek safety away from the vehicle and off the roadway (road verges and motorway hard shoulders are not
safe places). Keep children away from the
vehicle and in safety. Operate the hazard lamps and
erect warning signs. Preferably summon assistance
from a CITROËN-approved breakdown service.
For guaranteed quality and safety, use CITROËN products.

This driving assistance device alerts you if you are wandering from your lane (continuous or dotted line marking
on the road surface). It is designed especially for use on
motorways and dual carriageways, operating only at speeds above 80
km/h (approx. 50 mph).
The driver must still remain attentive and in complete control of the vehicle.
Operation
Provided you are travelling at over 8
0 km/h (approx. 50 mph), if you
cross a lane marking, you are alerted
by a vibration within the cushion of your seat:
- oriented to the right for crossing a
lane marking to the right,
-
oriented to the left for crossing a
lane marking to the left.
The system does not alert you while
your direction indicator is operating, nor for about 20 seconds after your direction indicator has stopped.
Activation/Deactivation
A press on control A activates the function, the warning lamp on the control lights up.
A second press on control A deacti- vates the function, the warning lamp on the control goes out.
Whenever you start the engine, the mode (activated/deactivated), selected when you last switched off the engine, is retained.
LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM
The effectiveness of the system may
be temporarily affected by conditions
external to the vehicle:
• Detection of lanes made difcult
by:
-
Markings that are worn or
erased.
-
Insufcient contrast with the sur-
face of the road.
Masking of the sensors due to:
- Driving in snow or heavy rain.
- Driving on roads covered with
mud or surface water.
If the system is ineffective for a pro­longed period, contact a CITROËN dealer.
Note: This device is designed to
identify trafc lane markings. In certain specic instances, it may
trigger an unwanted alert, for exam­ple when you cross a direction arrow or some other random marking.
