Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep
your hands 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 strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate
the need to brake and increase the distance
from other vehicles.
driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on
flooded roads, as this could cause serious
damage to the engine or gearbox, as well as
to the electrical systems of your vehicle. If you are obliged to drive through water:
-
check that the depth of water does not
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves
that might be generated by other users,
-
deactivate the Stop & Start system,
-
drive as slowly as possible without
stalling. In all cases, do not exceed
6 mph (10 km/h),
-
do not stop and do not switch of
f the
engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light
brake applications to dry the brake discs and
pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake applied -
Risk of overheating and damage to the
braking system!
Do not park or run the engine when
stationary in areas where inflammable
substances and materials (dry grass, dead
leaves...) might come into contact with the
hot exhaust system - Risk of fire!
Never leave a vehicle unsupervised with
the engine running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the engine running, apply
the parking brake and put the gearbox into
