SAFETY
For the airbags 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 airbags (a child,
pet, object...). This could hamper the
operation of the airbags or injure the
occupants.
Front airbags
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 dashboard.
If possible, do not smoke as deployment of the airbags can cause burns or
the risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats, compatible with the deployment the lat-
eral airbags. For information on the range of seat covers suitable for your vehicle,
you can contact a CITROËN dealer (see "Practical information - § Accessories").
Do not fi x or attach anything to the seat backs (clothing...). This could cause
injury to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.
Curtain airbags
Do not fi x or attach anything to the roof. This could cause injury to the head
if the curtain airbag is deployed.
If fi tted on your vehicle, do not remove the grab handles installed on the roof,
they play a part in securing the curtain airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
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 airbag is deployed
cannot be ruled out. The bag infl ates
almost instantly (within a few millisec-
onds) then defl ates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via open-
ings provided for this purpose.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
BATTERY
Procedure for charging your battery
when it is fl at or for starting the engine
using another battery.
Access to the battery
Starting using another battery
)
Connect the red cable to the posi-
tive terminal (+) of the fl at battery A
,
then to the positive terminal (+) of
the slave battery B
.
)
Connect one end of the green or black
cable to the negative terminal (-) of the
slave battery B
.
)
Connect the other end of the green
or black cable to the remote nega-
tive terminal (-) of your vehicle.
)
Start the slave vehicle.
)
Operate the starter of the broken
down vehicle and let the engine run.
)
Wait until the engine returns to idle
and disconnect the cables.
The battery is located under the bonnet.
To gain access to it:

)
lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal.
The presence of this label, in
particular with the Stop & Start
system, indicates the use of a
12 V lead-acid battery with spe-
cial technology and specifi cation;
the involvement of a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop is
essential when replacing or dis-
connecting the battery.
Failure to observe this recommen-
dation may cause premature wear
of the battery.
After refi tting the battery by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop, the Stop & Start system
will only be active after a continu-
ous period of immobilisation of the
vehicle, a period which depends
on the climatic conditions and the
state of charge of the battery (up to
about 8 hours).

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Batteries contain harmful sub-
stances such as sulphuric acid
and lead. They must be dis-
posed of in accordance with
regulations and must not, in any
circumstances, be discarded
with household waste.
Take used remote control bat-
teries and vehicle batteries to a
special collection point.
Charging the battery using a battery charger LOAD REDUCTION MODE
System which manages the use of
certain functions according to the level
of charge remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the
load reduction function temporarily de-
activates certain functions, such as
the air conditioning, the heated rear
screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivat-
ed automatically as soon as conditions
permit.
Do not push the vehicle to start
the engine if your vehicle is fi t-
ted with the electronic gearbox
system.
Do not disconnect the battery to
charge it.
)
Follow the instructions for use pro-
vided by the manufacturer of the
charger.

the system.
Certain functions described in this handbook will
become available during the year.
MyWay
For safety reasons, the driver must carry out operations which require prolonged attention while the vehicle is stationary.
When the en
gine is switched off and to prevent
discharging of the battery, the MyWay switches off
following the activation of the Energy Economy mode.

QUESTIONANSWERSOLUTION
The stored stations donot function (no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed...).
An incorrect waveband is selected.
Press the BAND AST button to return to the waveband (AM, FM1, FM2, FMAST) on which thestations are stored.
The quality of receptionof the radio station listened to graduallydeteriorates or the stored stations do not function(no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed...).
The vehicle is too far from the transmitter used by the station listenedto or there is no transmitter in the geographical area through which the vehicle is travelling.
Activate the RDS function to enable the system to check whether there is a more powerful transmitter in the geographical area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks...) block reception, including in RDS mode.
This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate a failure of the audio equipment.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when goingthrough a car wash or into an underground car park).
Have the aerial checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Sound cut-outs of 1 to2 seconds in radio mode.During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for any frequency permitting better reception of the station.
Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon is too frequent and always on the same route.
With the engine off, the audio equipment switches off after a few minutes of use.
When the engine is switched off, the audio equipment operating timedepends on the battery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the audio equipment switches to economy mode and switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery.
Start the vehicle's engine to increase the batterycharge.
