of a serious side impact applied to all or par t of the side
impact zone B, perpendicular to the longitudinal centreline
of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from the outside towards the inside of the vehicle.
The lateral airbag inflates between the hip and shoulder
of the front occupant of the vehicle and the corresponding
door trim panel.
System which protects the driver and frontpassenger in the event of a serious side impact
in order to limit the risk of injury to the chest,
between the hip and the shoulder.

frame, door side.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.

vehicle rolls over, the airbag may not be deployed.
In the event of a rear or front collision, the cur tain airbag is not deployed.
Deployment
The cur tain airbag is deployed at the same
time as the corresponding lateral airbag in the event of a serious side impact applied to all or
par t of the side impact zone B , perpendicular
to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The cur tain airbag inflates between the front or
rear occupant of the vehicle and the windows.

In order to restore the use of these functionsimmediately, star t the engine and let it run:
- for less than ten minutes, to use the

Checking levels
Ta k e c a r e w h e n w o r k i ng under the bonnet, as certain areas of the enginemay be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could star t at any time(even with the ignition off).
Oil level
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the oil level indicator in the instrument panel, or using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two ser vices (or oil changes). CITROËN recommends that you checkthe level, and top up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms). After topping up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oillevel indicator in the instrument panelis not valid during the 30 minutes after topping up. If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITRO
ËN dealer or a qualified workshop. Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the ser vicing booklet and the requirements of the warranties. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
Before doing anything under the bonnet,switch off the ignition (Readylamp off) to avoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of the engine.
Engine oil change
Refer to the servicing and warranty booklet for
details of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliabilit
y of the engine
and emission control system, the use of
additives in the engine oil is prohibited.
Oil specifi cation
The oil must be the correct grade for your engine and conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations. It will onl
y be correct if the vehicle is on level
ground and the engine has been off for more
than 30 minutes.
