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 qualifi ed 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 infl ates almost instantly (within
a few milliseconds) then defl ates 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 infl ation of
the side air bags. Consult a CITROËN
dealer.
Do not fi x or glue anything to the seat
backs. This could cause injury to the
chest or arms when the side air bag
infl ates.
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 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.
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 5.

Towing a trailer For more information about
weights, refer to the administrative
documents (V5 registration
document, ...) or to the "Weights"
section of chapter 9.
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC.. .

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.
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.
Driving advice
A towed vehicle must free wheel:
gearbox in neutral.

120
Equipment The fi tting of electrical equipment
or accessories which are not
recommended by CITROËN may
result in a failure of your vehicle’s
electronic system. Please note this
specifi c warning. You are advised
to contact a dealer to be shown the
range of recommended equipment or
accessories.
Depending on the country in which
the vehicle is sold, it is compulsory to
have a high visibility jacket, warning
triangle and spare bulbs available in
the vehicle.

Front mud fl aps, rear mud fl aps, 15/17 inch
alloy wheels, wheelarch trim, leather
steering wheel,...
Screenwash, interior and exterior
cleaning and maintenance products,
spare bulbs, ...
Seat covers compatible with air bags
for the front seats, bench seat, rubber
mats, carpet mats, snow chains, blinds,
tailgate bicycle carrier, ...
To prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedals:
- ensure that the mat and its fi xings
are positioned correctly,
- never fi t one mat on top of another.
Audio equipment, hands-free kit,
speakers, CD changer, navigation, ...
Regardless of the audio and telematic
equipment offered on the market, the
technical constraints linked with the
fi tting of equipment of these product
groups mean that the special features
of the equipment and its compatibility
with the capacities of your vehicle’s
standard equipment must be taken into
account. Please ask a CITROËN dealer
for further information before fi tting such
equipment.
Maximum weights on bars
- Transverse bars on longitudinal bars: 75 Kg (these bars are not
compatible with the Zenith roof). Installing radiocommunication
transmitters
You are advised to contact a CITROËN
dealer before installing accessory
radiocommunication transmitters with
external aerial on your vehicle.
The CITROËN network will inform you
of the characteristics (frequency band,
maximum output power, aerial position,
specifi c conditions of installation) of
the transmitters which can be fi tted,
in accordance with the Motor Vehicle
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive
(2004/104/EC).
"Active Fleet Data" telematic unit

Connected directly to the heart of the
vehicle (multiplexed network: "Full CAN"),
the telematic unit, by means of a
"ready to use" service, permits the
sending in real time of information such
as:
- distance travelled,
- distance remaining before the next service,
- warnings and faults (oil level, coolant level, oil temperature,
coolant temperature, etc...).
This enables "Fleet" mangers
to optimise the monitoring and
management of their professional
vehicles.
According to country, contact
a CITROËN dealer for further
information.

PUNCTURE REPAIR KIT
The puncture repair kit is located in
one of the two storage compartments
located under the front seats.
It is a complete system consisting of a
compressor and an incorporated fi lling
product. Using the kit

1. Tick the defl ated wheel on the
speed limitation sticker then affi x
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. Connect the compressor pipe 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
fi ll the puncture.

9. Adjust the pressure using the
compressor in accordance with the
recommendation for the vehicle and
check that the leak is fi lled 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 fl uid.
Warning: the bottle of puncture
repair 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 organisation
responsible for its collection.
This kit is available from CITROËN
