rEAr SEAt BELt S
The rear seats/bench seats are fitted with
three-point seat belts and inertia reels.
The centre seat has a seat belt guide and
inertia reel, solid with the seat back.
A carrier is provided at each outer seat to
allow the seat belt buckle to be secured
when not in use.
Good practice
The driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
strapped in securely before moving off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
which automatically adjusts the length of the
strap to your size.
Do not use accessories (clothes pegs, clips,
safety pins, etc.) which allow the seat belt
straps to fit loosely.
You can unfasten the seat belt by pressing
the red button on the buckle. Guide the seat
belt after unfastening.
Ensure that the seat belt has reeled in
correctly after use.
After folding or moving a seat or a rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt has
reeled in correctly and that the buckle is
ready to accommodate the tongue.
The airbag warning lamp also
comes on if the pretensioners are
deployed. Contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
In the event of an impact
Only for the front seats, and depending on
the nature and seriousness of the impact,
the pretensioning device may be deployed
before and independently of inflation of the
airbags. It instantly tightens the seat belts
against the body of the occupants.
Deployment of the pretensioners is
accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt against the body of the occupants.
The pyrotechnic pretensioners are active
when the ignition is switched on and the
seat belt fastened.
The inertia reels are fitted with a device
which automatically locks the strap in the
event of a collision or emergency braking or
if the vehicle rolls over.

Seat belts

122
GEnErAL POI nt S O n AI r BAGS
The airbags have been designed to optimise
the safety of the occupants in the event of
a serious collision; they work in conjunction
with the force limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, electronic
detectors record and analyse any abrupt
deceleration of the vehicle:
-

in the event of a serious collision, the

airbags are deployed instantly and
contribute towards better protection of
occupants of the vehicle; immediately
after the impact, the airbags rapidly
deflate so as to not hinder visibility or
the possible exit by the occupants,
-

in the event of a less serious impact,

an impact to the rear and in certain
conditions of rollover, the airbags are not deployed; the seat belts alone contribute
towards providing protection in these
situations.
Airbags only operate when the ignition is
switched on.Front airbags
These are fitted in the centre of the steering
wheel for the driver and in the dashboard for
the front passengers. They are deployed,
except the passenger's airbag if it has been
deactivated.
Deployment of the airbags is
accompanied by a slight discharge
of smoke and a noise, resulting from the
activation of the pyrotechnic charge included
in the system.
This smoke is not harmful but may be an
irritant to sensitive persons.
The noise of the detonation may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time. Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
contact a CITROËN dealer to
have the system checked.

transmitters
You are advised to contact a CITROËN
dealer before installing accessory
radiocommunication transmitters with
external aerial on your vehicle.
CITROËN dealers can advise you on
the specifications (frequency waveband,
maximum output power, aerial position,
specific installation conditions) of the
transmitters which can be fitted, in
accordance with the Vehicle Electromagnetic
Compatibility Directive (2004/104/EC).
The fitting of electrical equipment or
accessories which are not listed by
CITROËN may result in the failure of your
vehicle's electronic system.
We request that you take note of this point
and recommend that you contact a dealer
to be shown the range of recommended
equipment and accessories.
Depending on the country in which the
vehicle is sold or operated, it may be
compulsory to have a high visibility vest,
warning triangle, replacement bulbs and
breathalyzer in the vehicle.
To prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedals:
-
ensure that the mat and its fixings are

positioned correctly,
-

never fit one mat on top of another
.
Equipment

145
Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Good practice
In order to avoid damaging the
electrical units, we strongly advise you
not to use high pressure washing to clean
the engine compartment.
After washing the vehicle dampness, or in
winter, ice may form on the brake discs and
pads: braking efficiency may be reduced.
Make some light brake applications to dry
and de-ice the brakes. Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent quality
and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of units as
important as the braking system, CITROËN
selects and offers specific products.
diesel fuel filter
The Diesel fuel filter is located under the
bonnet, close to the brake fluid reservoir.
If this warning lamp comes on, the
filter must be bled to remove water.
Y

ou can also bleed the fuel filter
regularly, every time the engine oil
is changed.
Bleeding water from the filter

This operation can also be carried out
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
These bottles and containers are available
from CITROËN dealers. Filling the AdBlue tank
Filling of the AdBlue
® tank can be done
using:
-

5 or 10 litres containers equipped with a

10 centimetre filler tube or the filling kit
available from CITROËN dealers,
-

1.89 litre bottles that are screwed onto

the filler neck, available from CITROËN
dealers,
-

or when at a fuel filling station equipped

with a special AdBlue
® delivery pump for
heavy or light vehicles. Good practice
Once the AdBlue level drops to the reserve
level, you are warned by different temporary
signals (warning lamp, message, audible
signal).
When the AdBlue
® tank is empty,
restarting becomes impossible.
It is strongly recommended that you do not
wait for the successive alerts, but top-up the
AdBlue
® as soon as possible.
To facilitate filling, an adaptor is also
available from CITROËN dealers.

it would loose its purity.
Never dilute the fluid with water.
Never pour the fluid into the Diesel fuel tank.
recommendations on storage
Never store containers or bottles of
AdBlue® in your vehicle.
Freezing of the AdBlue
®
The SCR system includes an AdBlue®
tank heater that ensures operation of
the vehicle in normal conditions.
In exceptional situations, such as when the
vehicle is kept at temperatures below -15°C
(5°F) for a long period, there may be an
emission fault alert related to freezing of the
AdBlue
® additive.
Park the vehicle in an area at a more
moderate temperature for a few hours until
the AdBlue
® becomes a fluid again.
The emissions warning lamp does not go off
immediately, but does so after a few miles
of driving.
Never dispose of AdBlue® fluid bottles
in the household waste.
Place them in a special container provided
this purpose or take them to your dealer.
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C
(12.2° F) and deteriorates above 25°C
(77°F).
It is recommended that containers and
bottles be stored in a cool area and
protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept
for at least a year.
Additive that has been frozen can be used
once it has thawed out in ambient air.
