A few driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations at all times 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.
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.If you are obliged to drive through water:
-
ch
eck that the depth of water does not
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves
that might be generated by other users,
-
dr
ive as slowly as possible; do not exceed
6 mph (10 km/h),
-
do n
ot stop and do not switch off the motor.
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.Important!
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the drive train, as well as to the electrical
systems of your vehicle. Never drive with the parking brake
applied - Risk of overheating and
damage to the braking system!
Never leave a vehicle unsupervised
with the motor switched on. If you have
to leave your vehicle with the motor
switched on, apply the parking brake
and place the drive selector in
position N or P
.
