Airbags


Disarming
The passenger's front airbag alone can
be disarmed:

- With
the
ignition
switched
off
,
insert the key into the passenger
airbag disarming switch,


turn it to the "OFF"
position,

-
then remove the key keeping the
slot in this position.

Front airbags

The front airbags are incorporated in
the centre of the steering wheel for the
driver and in the fascia for the front
passenger.

Front airbag fault
Reactivation
In the "OFF"
position, the passenger
airbag will not be triggered in the event
of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the airbag slot to the "ON"

position to re-activate the airbag
and thus ensure the safety of your
passenger in the event of an impact. To ensure the safety of your
child, it is essential to disarm the
passenger airbag when you install
a rear-facing child seat on the front
passenger seat. Otherwise, the child
would risk being killed or seriously
injured if the airbag were to infl ate.
The airbag warning light
on the instrument panel is
lit throughout the period of
disarming.
If the two airbag warning lights
are lit continuously, do not install
a rear-facing child seat. Consult a
CITROËN dealer.

Activation
They are deployed simultaneously,
unless the passenger's front airbag
has been disarmed, in the event of a
serious front impact applied to all or
part of the front impact zone A
in the
longitudinal centreline of the vehicle
on a horizontal plane directed from the
front towards the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag infl ates between
the front occupant of the vehicle and
the fascia to cushion his forward
movement. If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the
display, consult a CITROËN
dealer to have the system
checked.

Child safety

ADVIC

The incorrect installation of a child seat
in a vehicle compromises the child's
protection in the event of an accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or
the child seat harnesses keeping the
slack
in relation to the child's body to a
minimum
, even for short journeys.
To protect young children from the
rays of the sun, fi t side blinds to
the rear windows.

CHILD MONITORING MIRROR

This mirror enables the driver or front
passenger to observe all the rear
seats.
Fitted on its own ball joint and able to
retract into its housing in the roof, it
provides a panoramic view of the rear
interior of the vehicle. For optimum installation of the "forward
facing" child seat, ensure that the back of
the child seat is in contact with the back
of the vehicle's seat and that the head
restraint does not cause any discomfort.
If the head restraint has to be removed,
ensure that it is stored or attached
securely to prevent it from being
thrown around the vehicle in the event
of sharp braking.
Children under the age of 10 must not
travel in the "forward facing" position
on the front passenger seat, unless
the rear seats are already occupied by
other children, cannot be used or are
absent.
Deactivate the passenger airbag when
a "rear facing" child seat is installed on
the front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were to infl ate.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:


- one or more children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,

- a child or an animal in a vehicle
which is exposed to the sun, with
the windows closed,

- the keys within reach of children
inside the vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the
doors, use the "Child Lock".
Take care not to open the rear windows
by more than one third.

Installing a booster seat

The chest part of the seat belt must
be positioned on the child's shoulder
without touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
CITROËN recommends the use of a
booster seat which has a back, fi tted
with a seat belt guide at shoulder level.

LOW FUEL LEVEL


Filling with fuel
The tank must be fi lled with fuel with
the engine off
.


- Open the fuel fi ller fl ap.

- Insert the key then turn it to the left.

- Remove the cap and attach it to
the clip located on the inside of the
fl ap.
It is usual to hear an air intake noise
when opening the cap as there is a
vacuum linked with the sealing of the
fuel circuit.
A label on the inside of the fl ap
indicates which type of fuel to use.
More than 5 litres of fuel must be
added in order to be registered by the
fuel gauge.
If you fi ll your tank, do not continue
after the third cut-off of the pump
nozzle. This could result in vehicle
malfunctions.

FILLING THE FUEL TANK


If the warning light fl ashes, this
indicates a fuel gauge malfunction.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.

When the tank's minimum
level is reached, this warning
light comes on, accompanied
by the message "Fuel level
low"
on the display. When
this warning light fi rst comes on, you
have approximately 8 litres
left,
depending on driving conditions and
the engine.
Fill up with fuel as soon as possible to
avoid running out.
Never continue to drive until you run
out of fuel as this could damage the
emission control and injection systems.
The capacity of the tank is
approximately 18 gallons ( 80
litres).


- After fi lling the tank, lock the cap
and close the fl ap.

When the fuel fi ller fl ap is open, a
system limits the opening of the
rear left sliding side door.
The key cannot be removed from the
cap's lock until the cap is refi tted on the
tank.

FUEL CIRCUIT DISARMED

In a serious collision, a mechanism
automatically prevents fuel from
reaching the engine.
The fl ashing of this warning
light is accompanied by a
message on the display.
DIESEL REPRIMING
PUMP



If you should run out of fuel, it is
necessary to re-prime the circuit:


- fi ll the fuel tank with at least fi ve
litres of diesel,

- squeeze and release the manual
re-priming pump, under the bonnet
under the protective cover, until fuel
appears in the transparent pipe,

- operate the starter until the engine
starts. Check that there is no odour or
leakage of fuel outside the vehicle and
re-establish the fuel supply:


- switch off the ignition
(STOP position).

- remove the key.

- put the key back in the ignition.

- switch on the ignition and start.













Quality of the fuel used for
Diesel engines

The Diesel engines are perfectly
compatible with biofuels which conform
to current and future European
standards (Diesel fuel which complies
with standard EN 590 mixed with a
biofuel which complies with standard
EN 14214) available at the pumps
(containing up to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl
Ester).
The B30 biofuel can be used in certain
Diesel engines; however, this use
is subject to strict application of the
special servicing conditions. Consult a
CITROËN dealer.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or
diluted, domestic fuel...) is strictly
prohibited (risk of damage to the
engine and fuel system).

11 4
Levels


Cooling system

Only use the fl uid recommended by the
manufacturer.
Otherwise, you risk seriously damaging
your engine.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition key removed
and because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to
release the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and top
up the level with coolant.
If fl uid has to be added frequently,
this indicates a failure which must be
checked by a CITROËN dealer as
soon as possible.

Power steering fluid level

The vehicle must be parked on level
ground with the engine cold. Unscrew
the cap integrated with the gauge and
check the level which must be between
the MIN and MAX marks. During regeneration of the particle
emission fi lter, relay noise may be
heard under the fascia.
If the message is still displayed and
the service warning light remains on,
contact a CITROËN dealer.

Diesel additive level (Diesel with
particle emission filter)
When this occurs with the engine running,
this is due to the start of saturation of
the particle emission fi lter (exceptionally
prolonged urban driving conditions: low
speed, long traffi c jams, ...).
In order to regenerate the fi lter, you are
advised to drive at a speed of more than
40 mph (60 km/h) as soon as possible,
when traffi c conditions permit, for at
least fi ve minutes (until the message
disappears and the service warning light
is switched off).
Topping up
The level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the expansion
bottle. If more than 1 litre of fl uid is
required to top up the level, have the
system checked by a CITROËN dealer.



Windscreen wash and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you use
products of the CITROËN range.
To avoid ice forming, do not use water.
Topping up
It is imperative that this additive is
topped up by a CITROËN dealer
without delay.



Used oil

Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fl uid is harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake
fl uid or coolant into drains or onto
the ground but into the containers
dedicated to this use at CITROËN
dealerships. The minimum level of this
additive is indicated by
lighting of the service warning
light, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message
on the display.
