DRIVING70 -
  If this warning light comes on, 
accompanied by an audible 
signal, contact a CITROËN 
dealer to have the system 
checked. The airbags may 
no longer be triggered in the event of 
a serious impact.  
 
 
Front airbag malfunction 
   
 
 
 
 
 
Disarming the passenger 
airbag 
   
To ensure the safety of your child, 
it is essential to disarm the pas-
senger airbag when you install a 
rear-facing child seat on the front 
passenger seat. Otherwise, the 
child would risk being killed or se-
riously injured if the airbag were 
to infl ate. 
 
   
 
 ) 
  With the ignition switched off 
, 
insert the key into the passenger 
airbag disarming switch  1 
, turn it 
to the  "OFF" 
 position, then re-
move the key keeping the slot in 
this position.    The airbag warning light on 
the instrument panel is lit 
throughout the period of dis-
arming. 
  In the  "OFF" 
 position, the passen-
ger airbag will not be triggered in the 
event of an impact. 
  As soon as the child seat is removed, 
turn the airbag slot to the  "ON" 
 posi-
tion to re-activate the airbag and thus 
ensure the safety of your passenger 
in the event of an impact.  
 
  This is confi rmed by an indi-
cator light, accompanied by 
a message on the display. 
  With the ignition on 
(2nd notch), illumination of this 
warning light indicates that the pas-
senger airbag is disarmed (switch in 
the  "OFF" 
 position). 
  If the two airbag warning 
lights are lit continuously, do 
not install a rear-facing child 
seat. Consult a CITROËN 
dealer.

CHECKING LEVELS
   
Dipstick 
   
Oil change 
  According to the information given in 
the servicing booklet.     
Viscosity selection 
  In all cases, the oil selected must 
meet the manufacturer's require-
ments.  
    
Note: 
 the coolant does not need to 
be changed. 
   
For vehicles equipped with a par-
ticle fi lter, the engine fan may op-
erate after the ignition has been 
switched off, even when the engine 
is cold.   
 
  There are two marks 
on the dipstick: 
   
A 
 = maximum 
  Never fi ll  past  this 
mark. 
   
B 
 = minimum 
  To maintain the reli-
ability of engines and 
emission control sys-
tems, the use of ad-
ditives in engine oil is 
prohibited.  
 
 
Brake fluid level 
 
The brake fl uid must be changed ac-
cording to the manufacturer's servic-
ing schedule. 
  Use fl uids recommended by the 
manufacturer, which fulfi l  DOT4 
standards.  
 
 
Cooling system 
 
Use the fl uid recommended by the 
manufacturer. 
  When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled 
by the engine fan. As this fan can op-
erate 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 two turns to re-
lease the pressure to prevent any 
risk of scalding. When the pressure 
has dropped, remove the cap and 
top up the level. 
   
Power steering reservoir 
 
 
 
 ) 
  Open the reservoir, with the en-
gine at ambient temperature. The 
level should always be above the 
MIN. mark and close to the MAX. 
mark.  
 
 
 
Windscreen and headlamp 
wash level 
  For best quality cleaning and for 
your safety, we would advise that 
you use products recommended by 
CITROËN. 
  For optimum cleaning and to prevent 
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped 
up or replaced with water.  
 
 
Used products 
 
Avoid products such as used oil and 
brake fl uid coming into prolonged 
contact with the skin. 
  Do not dispose of used oil, brake fl uid or 
coolant into drains or onto the ground. 
Empty used oil into the containers pro-
vided for this purpose in the CITROËN 
dealer network (France) or to an author-
ised waste disposal site.  
 
 
Oil level 
 
It is normal to top up the engine oil 
between services. CITROËN rec-
ommends that you check the oil 
level, and top up if necessary, every 
3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres). 
  Check the level with the vehicle level, 
engine cold, using the oil level gauge 
on the instrument panel or the dip-
stick.

  SPECIAL FEATURES
OF ALLOY WHEELS  
 
 
Fitting the spare wheel 
  If your vehicle is equipped with a 
steel spare wheel, when fi tting it, it is 
  normal 
 to notice that the bolt wash-
ers do not come into contact with the 
rim. The spare wheel is secured by 
the cone-shape of each bolt.  
   
Fitting snow tyres 
  If you fi t snow tyres that are mounted 
on steel rims onto your vehicle, it is 
  essential 
 that you use special bolts 
available from your CITROËN dealer.  
 
   
*   According to model and country.  
 
ANTI-THEFT BOLT *  
 
If your wheels are fi tted with an anti-
theft bolt (one per wheel), it must be 
unscrewed using an anti-theft socket 
(which was given to you on delivery 
of your vehicle along with the dupli-
cate keys and the confi dential  card) 
and the wheelbrace. 
   
Note: 
 make a careful note of the 
code number engraved on the top of 
the anti-theft socket. This will enable 
you to obtain a duplicate anti-theft 
socket from your 
CITROËN dealer.

ECONOMY MODE FUNCTION 
  After the engine has stopped, with 
the key in the "accessories" position, 
certain functions (windscreen wiper, 
electric windows, courtesy lights, 
audio equipment, etc.) can only be 
used for a combined duration of ap-
proximately thirty minutes, to prevent 
discharging the battery. 
  Once the thirty minutes are over, a 
switching to economy mode mes-
sage appears on the multi-function 
display and the active functions are 
put on standby. 
  These functions are reactivated au-
tomatically next time the vehicle is 
driven. 
  In order to resume the use of these 
functions immediately, the engine 
must be started and left to run for a 
few minutes. 
  The time available to you will then 
be double the duration for which the 
engine is left running. However, this 
period will always be between fi ve 
and thirty minutes. 
BATTERY
   
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 bat-
tery, you must wait 2  minutes 
after switching off the ignition. 
  Never disconnect a terminal 
when the engine is running. 
  Never charge a battery without fi rst 
disconnecting the terminals. 
  Close the windows and the roof before 
disconnecting the battery. 
  After every reconnection of the bat-
tery, switch on the ignition and wait 
1 minute before starting to allow the 
electronic systems to be initialised. If 
slight diffi culties are experienced af-
ter this, please contact a CITROËN 
dealer.  
 
  A fl at battery prevents the 
engine from starting.    
To start the vehicle from 
another battery: 
   
 
-   Connect the red cable to the posi-
tive (+) terminals of the two bat-
teries, 
   
-   Connect one end of the green or 
black cable to the negative (-) ter-
minal of the slave battery, 
   
-   Connect the other end of the 
green or black cable to an earth 
point on the broken down vehi-
cle as far as possible from the 
battery (for example, right-hand 
engine mounting).  
 Operate the starter, let the engine run. 
 
Wait for the engine to return to idle, 
then disconnect the cables. 
   
To charge the battery using a 
battery charger: 
   
 
-   Disconnect the battery, 
   
-   Follow the instructions for use 
given by the battery charger man-
ufacturer, 
   
-   Reconnect starting with the nega-
tive (-) terminal, 
   
-   Check that the terminals and 
connectors are clean. If they are 
covered with sulphate (white or 
greenish deposit), disconnect 
them and clean them.
