DRIVING RECOMMENDATIONS
Observe the driving regulations and
remain  vigilant   whatever   the   traffic  
conditions.
Pay

  close   attention   to   the   traffic   and  
keep

  your   hands   on   the   wheel   so   that  
you are ready to react at any time to
any

  eventuality.
As a safety precaution, the driver
must only carry out actions requiring
sustained attention when the vehicle is
stationary.
On
  a   long   journey,   a   break   every  
two hours

  is   strongly   recommended.
In
  difficult   weather,   drive   smoothly,  
anticipate

  the   need   to   brake   and  
increase the distance from other
vehicles.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving
on  flooded   roads,   as   this   could   cause  
serious damage to the engine or
gearbox, as well as to the electrical
systems

  of   your   vehicle. If you are obliged to drive through
water:
-
 
check
  that   the   depth   of   water   does  
not

  exceed   15   cm,   taking   account  
of waves that might be generated
by other users,
-

deactivate the Stop & Start system,
-

drive as slowly as possible without
stallin

g.   In   all   cases,   do   not   exceed  6
  mph   (10   km/h),
- do not stop and do not switch of f
the
  engine.
On
  leaving   the   flooded   road,   as   soon  
as

  circumstances   allow,   make   several  
light

  brake   applications   to   dry   the   brake  
discs

  and   pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
  workshop.Never
  drive   with   the   parking   brake  
applied

  -   Risk   of   overheating   and  
damage

  to   the   braking   system!
Risk   of   fire!
As the exhaust system of your vehicle
is very hot, even several minutes
after switching off the engine, do not
park   or   leave   the   engine   running   over  
areas

  where   inflammable   substances  
and

  materials   are   present:   grass,  
leaves, etc.
Never leave a vehicle
unsupervised with the engine
running.
  If   you   have   to   leave  your vehicle with the engine running,
apply
  the   parking   brake   and   put   the  
gearbox into neutral or position

N or P,
depending
  on   the   type   of   gearbox.
Important!
