SAFETY
Airbags
Good practice
If your vehicle is fitted with front, lateral
and curtain airbags, in order for these to
be fully effective, observe the following
safety rules:
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Sit in a normal upright position.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (child, animal,
object...).
This could hamper the operation of the
airbags or injure the occupants.
All work on the airbag systems is strictly
prohibited unless it is carried out by qualified
personnel of the CITROËN network.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.
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.
Smoke as little as possible; 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
Only put approved covers on the front seats.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Do not fix or attach anything to the front seat
backs. This could cause injury to the chest
or arms when 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 fix or attach anything to the pillars or
the roof. This could cause injury to the head
when the curtain airbag is deployed.
Do not remove the bolts from the grab
handles installed on the roof, they play a
part in securing the curtain airbags.

Levels
Cooling system
Only use the fluid 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 fluid 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.
Used oil
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil with the
skin.
Brake fluid is harmful to health and very
corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid or
coolant into drains or into the ground but
into the containers dedicated to this use
at CITROËN dealerships (France) or to an
authorised waste disposal site.
Topping up
The level must be between the MIN
and
MAX
marks on the expansion bottle. If
more than 1 litre of fluid 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 to prevent
freezing, this fluid must not be topped up or
replaced with plain water.
Capacity of the reservoir: approximately
5.5 litres.

Low fuel level
When the fuel tank level E
(Empty) is reached, this warning
lamp comes on. At this moment,
you have enough fuel left to
drive approximately 30 miles (50 km)
,
depending on the driving conditions, the
engine and the profile of the road. Fill up
without delay to avoid running out of fuel. The fuel tank must be filled with the engine
off.
- Open the fuel filler flap.
- Support the cap with one hand.
- With the other hand, insert the key, then
turn it anticlockwise.
- Remove the cap and hook it onto the
clip located on the inside of the flap.
A label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be used.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue
after the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle. This could
cause malfunctions.
The capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 90
litres.
- After filling the fuel tank, lock the cap
and close the flap.
FUEL SYSTEM CUT-OFF
In the event of a serious collision, a device
automatically cuts off the fuel supply
to the engine and the vehicle's electrical
supply.
FILLING WITH FUEL
Fuel tanks of different capacities,
60 and 125 litres, may be fitted. Check that there is no smell or leak of fuel
outside the vehicle.
Restore the supply by pressing:
- the first button,
located below the steering wheel.
- the second button, located in the
battery compartment, under the front
passenger's floor.
In low temperatures
In mountainous and/or cold areas, it is
advisable to use a "winter" type fuel suited
to low or minus temperatures.

check the operation of the lamps.
When using a high pressure washer
on stubborn dirt, do not persist on the
headlamps, the lamps and their edges to
avoid damaging their lacquer finish and
seals.

Having your vehicle towed
BEING TOWED
Without liftin
g (four wheels on
the ground)
You must always use a towing bar.
From the rear
Hook the bar onto the rigid eye located
under the bumper.
From the front
The removable towing eye is located in the
box under the front passenger seat.
Unclip the cover using a flat tool.
Screw the removable towing eye in fully.
Place the gear lever in neutral. Failure to
observe this special condition may result in
damage to certain braking components and
the absence of braking assistance when the
engine is re-started.
With lifting (2 wheels only on
the ground)
It is preferable to lift the vehicle using
professional lifting equipment.
When being towed with the engine
