Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain vigilant   whatever   the   traffic   conditions.
Pay
  close   attention   to   the   traffic   and   keep   your  
h

ands 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  
s

trongly
 re
commended.
In
  difficult   weather,   drive   smoothly,   anticipate  
t

he   need   to   brake   and   increase   the   distance  
f

rom   other   vehicles.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded roads,   as   this   could   cause   serious   damage  
t

o   the   engine   or   gearbox,   as   well   as   to   the  
e

lectrical   systems   of   your   vehicle.
Important!If you are obliged to drive through water:
-  
c
heck   that   the   depth   of   water   does   not  
e

xceed   15   cm,   taking   account   of   waves  
t

hat   might   be   generated   by   other   users,
-
 
d
eactivate   the   Stop   &   Start   system,
-

d
rive as slowly as possible without
stalling.
  In   all   cases,   do   not   exceed   6   mph  
(

10 km/h),
-

d
o not stop and do not switch off the
engine. Never
  drive   with   the   parking   brake  
a

pplied   -   Risk   of   overheating   and  
d

amage   to   the   braking   system!
Do
  not   park   or   run   the   engine   when  
s

tationary   in   areas   where   inflammable  
s

ubstances   and   materials   (dry   grass,  
d

ead   leaves...)   might   come   into   contact  
w

ith   the   hot   exhaust   system   -   Risk   of  
f

ire!
Never leave a vehicle unsupervised
with
  the   engine   running.   If   you   have  
t

o   leave   your   vehicle   with   the   engine  
r

unning,   apply   the   parking   brake  
a

nd   put   the   gearbox   into   neutral   or  
p

osition

N or P,
  depending   on   the   type  
o

f   gearbox.
On
  leaving   the   flooded   road,   as   soon   as  
c

ircumstances   allow,   make   several   light   brake  
a

pplications   to   dry   the   brake   discs   and   pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact
a
  CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.

Anti-theft protection
Electronic engine immobiliser
Keep safely, away from your vehicle, the   label   attached   to   the   keys   given   to  
y

ou   on   acquisition   of   the   vehicle.
The

a

 
special   code.   When   the   ignition   is   switched  
o

n,
 
this   code   must   be   recognised   for   engine  
s

tarting   to   be   authorised.
This
 
electronic   engine   immobiliser   locks   the  
e

ngine   management   system   a   few   minutes  
a

fter
 
the   ignition   is   switched   off   and   prevents  
s

tarting   of   the   engine   by   anyone   who   does   not

Particular situations
In certain situations (e.g. starting the engine), the   parking   brake   can   automatically   alter   its  
f

w

ithout   starting   the   engine,   but   with   the   ignition  
o

n,   press   on   the   brake   pedal   and   release   the  
p

arking   brake   by pulling then releasing the
control lever A .
  The   full   release   of   the   parking  
b

rake   is   confirmed   by   the   warning   lamps   in

he control lever A   and   in   the   instrument   panel  
g

oing   off   and   display   of   the   message   "Parking  
b

Depending on the driving situation and your vehicle's   equipment,   the   system   may   advise  
y

ou   to   skip   one   (or   more)   gear(s).   You   can  
f

ollow   this   instruction   without   engaging   the

The
  gear   engagement   recommendations   must  
n

ot   be   considered   compulsory.   In   fact,   the  
c

onfiguration   of   the   road,   the   amount   of   traffic  
a

nd   safety   remain   determining   factors   when  
c

hoosing   the   best   gear.   Therefore,   the   driver

The
  information   appears   in   the   instrument

System
  which   reduces   fuel   consumption   by   recommending   the   most   appropriate   gear.
With   an   automatic   gearbox,   the   system   is   only

* Depending
  on   engine.
On
  vehicle   fitted   with   a   manual   gearbox,

  system   adapts   its   gear   change
