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 Â
h
ands  on  the  wheel  so  that  you  are  ready  to Â
r
eact  at  any  time  to  any  eventuality.
On
 a  long  journey,  a  break  every  two  hours  is Â
s
trongly
 re
commended.
In
 difficult  weather,  drive  smoothly,  anticipate Â
t
he  need  to  brake  and  increase  the  distance Â
f
rom  other  vehicles.
Driving on flooded
roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded roads,  as  this  could  cause  serious  damage Â
t
o  the  engine  or  gearbox,  as  well  as  to  the Â
e
lectrical  systems  of  your  vehicle.If
 you  are  obliged  to  drive  through  water:
- Â
c
heck  that  the  depth  of  water  does  not Â
e
xceed  15  cm,  taking  account  of  waves Â
t
hat  might  be  generated  by  other  users,
- Â
d
eactivate  the  Stop  &  Start  system,
- Â
d
rive  as  slowly  as  possible  without Â
s
talling.  In  all  cases,  do  not  exceed  6  mph  (
10Â km/h),
-  d o  not  stop  and  do  not  switch  off Â
t
he engine.
On
 leaving  the  flooded  road,  as  soon  as Â
c
ircumstances  allow,  make  several  light  brake Â
a
pplications  to  dry  the  brake  discs  and  pads.
If
 in  doubt  on  the  state  of  your  vehicle,  contact Â
a
 CITROËN  dealer  or  a  qualified  workshop.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake applied  -  Risk  of  overheating  and Â
d
amage  to  the  braking  system!
Do
 not  park  or  run  the  engine  when Â
s
tationary  in  areas  where  inflammable Â
s
ubstances  and  materials  (dry  grass, Â
d
ead  leaves...)  might  come  into  contact Â
w
ith  the  hot  exhaust  system  -  Risk  of Â
f
ire!
Never
 leave  a  vehicle  unsupervised Â
w
ith  the  engine  running.  If  you  have Â
t
o  leave  your  vehicle  with  the  engine Â
r
unning,  apply  the  parking  brake Â
a
nd  put  the  gearbox  into  neutral  or Â
p
osition
N or P,
