the vehicle; it is imperative that
these are used,
- never fi t one mat on top of another.
DOOR POCKETS
Front door
The front door pockets can hold objects
equivalent in volume to a 1.5 litre bottle.
They may have their own lighting,
coming on automatically when your
hand approaches.
This lighting goes out automatically
after a few moments when your
hand is taken away.
Rear door
The rear door pockets can hold objects
equivalent in volume to a 0.5 litre bottle.
USB BOX
This connection box, consisting of
a JACK socket and a USB port, is
located on the centre console.
It permits the connection of portable
equipment, such as a digital audio
player of the iPod ®
or USB stick type.
It reads the audio fi le formats which
are transmitted to your audio equip-
ment and played via the vehicle's
speakers.
You can manage these fi les using
the steering wheel controls or the
audio equipment control panel and
display them on the multifunction
screen.
When it is in use, the portable equip-
ment charges automatically.
For further details concerning the
use of this equipment, refer to the
"Audio and Telematics" section.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
Sensors fi tted in each valve check
the tyre pressure during driving and
trigger a warning in the event of
malfunction (speed above 12 mph
(20 km/h)).
Flat tyre The tyre under-infl ation detection
system is an aid to driving which
does not replace the need for the
driver to be vigilant or to drive
responsibly. Puncture
The service warning light
comes on on the instru-
ment panel, accompanied
by an audible signal and
a message on the multi-
function display locating
the wheel concerned.
Check the tyre pressures as soon as
possible. This check must be carried
out when the tyres are cold. The STOP warning light
comes on on the instrument
panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and a mes-
sage on the multifunction
display locating the wheel
concerned
.

Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden
movement of the steering wheel and
the brakes
.

Change the damaged wheel (punctured
or very defl ated tyre), and have the tyre
pressure checked as soon as possible
.
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
The service warning light
comes on on the instru-
ment panel, accompanied
by an audible signal and
a message on the multi-
function display locating
the wheel or wheels which are not
detected or indicating a fault in the
system.
Have the faulty sensor(s) checked
by a CITROËN dealer. All repairs and changing of tyres
on a wheel fi tted with this system
must be carried out by a CITROËN
dealer.
If, when changing a tyre, you
install a wheel which is not detect-
ed by your vehicle (example: fi tting
of snow tyres), you must have the
system reinitialised by a CITROËN
dealer.
This system does not eliminate
the need to have the tyre pres-
sure checked regularly (refer to the
"Technical data - § Identifi cation
features" section) to ensure that the
optimum dynamic performance of
the vehicle is maintained and pre-
vent premature wear of the tyres,
particularly in arduous driving con-
ditions (heavy load, high speed).
The tyre pressures must be
checked cold, at least once a
month. Remember to check the
pressure of the spare wheel.
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system may experience temporary
interference due to radioelectric
emissions on a frequency close to
that used by the system.
This message is also displayed
when one of the wheels is away
from the vehicle (being repaired) or
when one or more wheels without a
sensor are fi tted.
The spare wheel is not fi tted with a
sensor.

AIR BAGS
System designed to maximise the
safety of the occupants (with the
exception of the rear centre pas-
senger) in the event of violent col-
lisions. It supplements the action of
the force-limiting seat belts.
If a collision occurs, the electronic
detectors record and analyse the
front and side impacts sustained in
the impact detection zones:
- in the case of a serious impact, the air bags are triggered instant-
ly and protect the occupants of
the vehicle (with the exception of
the rear centre passenger); im-
mediately after the impact, the
air bags defl ate rapidly so that
they do not hinder visibility or the
exit of the occupants,
- in the case of a minor or rear im- pact or in certain roll-over con-
ditions, the air bags will not be
triggered; the seat belt alone is
suffi cient to provide optimum
protection in these situations.
The air bags do not operate
when the ignition is switched
off.
This equipment will only operate
once. If a second impact occurs
(during the same or a subsequent
accident), the air bag will not operate. Impact detection zones

A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.
Triggering of the air bag(s) is ac-
companied by a slight emission of
harmless smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sen-
sitive individuals may experience
slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may
result in a slight loss of hearing for
a short time. Front air bags
System which protects the head and
chest of the driver and front passen-
ger in the event of a front impact.
The driver's air bag is incorporated
in the centre of the steering wheel;
the front passenger's air bag is in-
corporated in the fascia above the
glove box.
Activation
The air bags are triggered simultane-
ously, unless the passenger's front
air bag is 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 and di-
rected from the front to the rear of
the vehicle.
The front air bag infl ates between
the front occupant of the vehicle and
the fascia to cushion his forward
movement.

S A F E T Y
For the air bags to be fully
effective, observe the following
safety rules:
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 men-
tioned 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. Front air bags
Do not drive holding the steering
wheel by its spokes or resting your
hands on the centre part of the
wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet
on the fascia.
Smoke as little as possible as de-
ployment of the air bags can cause
burns or the risk of injury from a cig-
arette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering
wheel or hit it violently.
Side air bags
Put approved covers only on the
seats. These will not hinder infl a-
tion 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 if the side air
bag is triggered.
Do not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary. Curtain air bags
Do not fi x or glue anything to the roof.
This could cause injury to the head if
the curtain air bag is triggered.
Do not remove the grab handles in-
stalled on the roof, they play a part
in securing the curtain air bags.
