Ease of use and comfort

98
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a front or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pyrotechnic pretensioning system instantly
tightens the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are
enabled when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt on the chest of the occupant, thus
improving their protection.
Fastening
F Pull the strap, then insert the tongue in the buckle.
F

C
heck that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap.
Unfastening
F Press the red button on the buckle.
F G uide the seat belt as it is reeled in.
Height adjustment
F To adjust the height of the anchorage point, squeeze control A and slide it to the notch
desired.
Rear seat belts
Each of the rear seats has a three-point seat
b elt with inertia reel.
The outer seats are fitted with a
pyrotechnic
pretensioning and force limiting system. Before per forming any operations on the
rear seats, to avoid damage to the seat
belts, check that:
-

t
he outer seat belts are correctly in the
storage position, lying vertically along
the pillar,
-
t
he central seat belt is stowed.
Fastening
F Pull the strap then insert the tongue in the
buckle.

correctly by pulling the strap.
Unfastening
F Press the red button on the buckle.
F G uide the seat belt as it is reeled in.
F

O

top of the backrest to prevent the tongue
from knocking against the side trim.
Rear central seat belt
The seat belt for the rear central seat is
integrated into the roof.
Safety

166
Malfunction
The system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather conditions
(rain, hail, etc.).
In particular, driving on a wet sur face
or moving from a
dry area to a wet area
can cause false alerts (for example,
the presence of a
fog of water droplets
in the blind spot angle is interpreted as
a


vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered by mud, ice or
snow.
Take care not to cover the warning zone in
the door mirrors or the detection zones on
the front and rear bumpers with adhesive
labels or other objects; they may hamper
the correct operation of the system.
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a
towing device
approved by CITROËN.
If a

fault occurs, this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel, accompanied by the
display of a

message.
Contact a

CITROËN dealer or a

qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
No alert will be given and no correction will be
made in the following situations: -
i
n the presence of non-moving objects
(parked vehicles, barriers, street lamps,
road signs, etc.),
-

w

ith vehicles moving in the opposite
direction,
-

d

riving on a

winding road or a

sharp corner,
-

w

hen overtaking or being overtaken by
a

very long vehicle (lorry, bus, etc.) which is
both in the rear blind spot and present in the
driver's front field of vision,
-

w

hen overtaking quickly,
-

i

n very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in
front and behind are confused with a

lorry or
a


stationary object,
-

i

f the Park Assist function is activated.

Practical information

Bonnet
The location of the interior bonnet release
lever prevents opening the bonnet when
the left-hand front door is shut.When the engine is hot, handle the
exterior safety catch and the bonnet
stay with care (risk of burns), using the
protected area.
When the bonnet is open, take care not to
damage the safety catch.
Do not open the bonnet under very windy
conditions.
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might be
caught by the fan blades.
Opening
F Open the left-hand front door.
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to
avoid the risk of injury related to an
automatic change to START mode. F

P
ull the release lever, located at the bottom
of the door aperture, towards you.
Version without longitudinal
bars
The roof bar fixings include a lug to be fitted
i nto the hole at each fixing point.
Version with longitudinal
bars
You must fit the transverse bars to the
longitudinal bars at the engraved markings on
the longitudinal bars.
To install the roof bars, you must secure them
only to the four fixing points on the roof frame.
These points are concealed by the vehicle's
doors when they are closed.
Practical information

193
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates
a low Diesel additive level.
For more information on Checking levels ,
refer to the corresponding section.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does not
affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the
environment.
New vehicle
The first particle filter regeneration
operations may be accompanied by a
"burning" smell, which is per fectly normal.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle
services.
Unless there is a
leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any
routine servicing. However, in case
of an issue, do not hesitate to have
the system checked by a
CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
For more information on the Electric
parking brake , refer to the corresponding
section.
Wheels and tyres
The pressure must be checked on
all tyres, including the spare wheel,
when the tyres are "cold", at least
once a
month and before a long
j o u r n ey.
The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure
label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have
driven for more than 10
minutes or more
than 6

miles (10 kilometres) at over 31 mph
(50

km/h), add 0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values
indicated on the label.

F R emove and then store the bottle of sealant.
Take care, the sealant product is harmful
if swallowed and causes irritation to the
eyes.
Keep this product out of the reach of
children.
The use-by date of the fluid is marked on
the bottle.
After use, do not discard the bottle in
standard waste, take it to a
CITROËN
dealer or an authorised waste disposal
site.
Do not forget to obtain a
new bottle of
sealant, available from a
CITROËN dealer
or a


qualified workshop.
The tyre inflation pressures are given on
this label. F

S
tart the compressor by turning the switch
to position " I" until the pressure of the tyre
reaches 2

In the event of a breakdown

202
Do not exceed the speed of 50 mph
( 80 km/h) when driving with a tyre repaired
using this type of kit.
Checking/adjusting tyre

You can also use the compressor,
without injecting sealant, to check and, if
necessary, adjust the tyre pressures.

Do not drive more than 125 miles (200 km)
with a
repaired tyre; see a CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop to change
the tyre.
Should the pressure of one or more tyres
be adjusted, it is necessary to reinitialise
the under-inflation detection system.

inflation detection , refer to the
corresponding section.
