Lateral airbags
System which protects the driver and
passenger in the event of a serious side
impact in order to limit the risk of injury
to the chest.
Each lateral airbag is fi tted in the front
seat back frame, on the door side.

Activation
The lateral airbag is triggered unilater-
ally in the event of a serious side impact
applied to all or part of the side impact
zone B
, perpendicular to the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal
plane and directed from the outside to-
wards the inside of the vehicle.
The lateral airbag infl ates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
corresponding door trim panel.

System which protects the driver and
passengers (with the exception of the
rear centre passenger and the passen-
gers in row 3) in the event of a serious
side impact in order to limit the risk of
injury to the head.
Each curtain airbag is fi tted in the pillars
and the upper section of the passenger
compartment.
Deployment
The curtain airbag is deployed at the
same time as the corresponding lateral
airbag in the event of a serious side im-
pact applied to all or part of the side impact
zone B
, perpendicular to the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal
plane and directed from the outside to-
wards the inside of the vehicle.
The curtain airbag infl ates between the
front or rear occupant of the vehicle and
the windows.
In the event of a minor impact or
bump on the side of the vehicle
or if the vehicle rolls over, the
airbag may not be deployed.
In the event of a rear or front colli-
sion, the airbag is not deployed.

Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on in the instru-

instrument panel screen, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop to have the
system checked. The airbags may no longer
be deployed in the event of a serious impact.

VII
DRIVING

Operating fault

Reverse gear
Flashing of the indicator R
in the instru-
ment panel screen, accompanied by an
audible signal, indicates a malfunction
on engaging the gear:
Press the brake pedal, position the gear
lever in position N
and engage reverse
gear again.

With the ignition on, if this warning
light comes on, accompanied by vi-
bration in the pedals and the message
"Maintenance required"
on the in-
strument panel display, this indicates a
gearbox malfunction.
If the message is displayed, carry out
the following operations:


- slow down and stop your vehicle in
a safe place,

- place the lever in position P
or N
,
apply the parking brake and let the
engine run,

- open the bonnet to allow the engine
to cool.
If the message disappears for a long
period, you can set off again.
If the message remains displayed or
appears frequently, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop without
delay.

Overheating of the engine may re-
sult in unwanted declutching of the
gearbox.

CHECKS
130

Diesel additive level (Diesel
with particle emission filter) The minimum level of this additive is indicat-
ed by lighting of the service warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction screen.

Topping up
This additive must be topped up by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop without delay.


Waste productsCHECK
S

Battery

Check the electrolyte level
regularly. If necessary, top up
the level with distilled water.
Check that the terminals are
clean and correctly tightened,
particularly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery,
refer to the "Practical information" sec-
tion for details of the precautions to be
taken before disconnecting the battery
and following its reconnection.


Air filter and passenger compartment filter

Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the replacement
intervals for these compo-
nents.
Depending on the environ-
ment (dusty atmosphere...) and the use
of the vehicle (city driving...), replace
them twice as often if necessary (refer
to the "Engines" paragraph).
A clogged passenger compartment fi l-
ter may have an adverse effect on the
performance of the air conditioning sys-
tem and generate undesirable odours.
Oil filter

Replace the oil fi lter each time
the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the replacement
interval for this component.
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
Maintenance of the particle emission fi l-
ter must be carried out by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Following prolonged operation of
the vehicle at very low speed or at
idle, you may, exceptionally, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does
not have any adverse effect on the
performance of the vehicle or on the
environment.
Avoid any prolonged contact of
used oil or fl uids with the skin.
Most of these fl uids are harmful to
health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fl uids
into sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the contain-
ers provided for this purpose at
CITROËN dealers (France) or a
qualifi ed workshop, or take them to
an authorised waste disposal site.

Do not discard the oil fi lter through public
channels, deposit it in the containers dedi-
cated to this use in the CITROËN network
(France) or a qualifi ed workshop or take them to
an authorised waste disposal site.

Unless otherwise indicated, check
these components in accordance with
the servicing booklet and in relation to
your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

CHANGING A BULB


Handle the bulbs using a dry
cloth.

Do not clean the headlamps using
a dry or abrasive cloth, or using
detergent or solvent products,
use
a sponge and soapy water. In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal surface of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps
is normal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes.
