When purchasing a second-hand
vehicle:
- have the keys memorised by a
CITROËN dealer to ensure that
the keys in your possession are
the only ones which can start the
vehicle.
Good practice
Do not make any modifi cations to the
electronic immobiliser system.
Operating the remote control, even
when it is in your pocket, may result in
involuntary unlocking of the doors.
The simultaneous use of other
high frequency equipment (mobile
telephones, domestic alarms…), may
interfere with the operation of the
remote control temporarily.
ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER
All of the keys contain an electronic
immobiliser device.
This device locks the engine supply
system. It is activated automatically
when the key is removed from the
ignition.
After the ignition is switched on, a
dialogue is established between the
key and the electronic immobiliser
system.
The metal part of the key must be
unfolded correctly for correct dialogue
to take place.
If you lose your keys
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the
vehicle’s V5 registration document and
your identifi cation document.
A CITROËN dealer will be able
to retrieve the key code and
the transponder code so that a
replacement key can be ordered.
The remote control does not operate
while the key is in the ignition, even if
the ignition is off.
As a safety precaution (with children
on board), remove the key from the
ignition when leaving the vehicle, even
for a short time.
ALARM
If fi tted on your vehicle, this provides
two types of protection:
- exterior protection: it sounds if a
front/rear door or the bonnet is
opened.
- interior protection: it sounds if
the volume inside the passenger
compartment changes (breaking
of a window or a movement inside
the vehicle).
If your vehicle is fi tted with a separation
partition, the interior protection is not
active in the load space.
Locking the vehicle with

open the door. The alarm is triggered.
- Switch on the ignition in the
next ten seconds. The alarm is
disarmed.
Incorrect operation

FUEL GAUGE
COOLANT TEMPERATURE
The needle is positioned between
the blue zone and the red zone:
normal operation.
In arduous conditions of use or hot
climatic conditions, the needle may
move close to the red graduations.
What you should do if the needle
enters the red zone:
Reduce your speed or let the engine
run at idle.
What you should do if the warning
light comes on:
- stop immediately, switch off the
ignition. The fan may continue to
operate for a certain time up to
approximately 10 minutes.
- wait for the engine to cool down in
order to check the coolant level and
top it up if necessary.
As the cooling system is pressurised,
follow this advice in order to avoid any
risk of scalding:
- wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before
carrying out any work,
- unscrew the cap by 1/4 turn to
allow the pressure to drop,
- when the pressure has dropped,
check the level on the expansion
bottle,
-
if necessary, remove the cap to top up.
If the needle remains in the red
zone, have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
Refer to the "Levels" section of
chapter 7.
Refer to the "Fuel" section of
chapter 7.
The fuel level is tested each time the
key is turned to the "running" position.
The gauge is positioned on:
- 1: the fuel tank is full,
approximately 60 litres.
- 0: the reserve is now being

Puncture
Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden
movement of the steering wheel and
the brakes.
Change the damaged (punctured or
very defl ated) tyre, and have the tyre
pressure checked as soon as possible.
Sensor(s) not detected
Under-infl ation detection is absent
from one (or several) tyre(s). Contact a
CITROËN dealer to replace the faulty
sensor(s).
This message is also displayed when
one of the tyres is away from the
vehicle (being repaired) or when a
wheel without a sensor is fi tted.
All repairs and changing of tyres on a
wheel fi tted with this system must be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer.
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system is a driving aid which does
not take the place of vigilance or the
responsibility of the driver.
This system does not remove the need
to have the tyre pressure checked
regularly (including the spare wheel), to
ensure that the dynamic performance
of the vehicle remains at its best and
to avoid premature wear of the tyres,
in particular in the case of arduous
driving (heavy load, high speed).
The system may temporarily be
disturbed by radio broadcasts on a
frequency close to it.
DETECTION
- CO (carbon monoxide),
- HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),
- NOx (nitrogen oxides) or particles,
detected by oxygen sensors placed
upstream and downstream of the
catalytic converters.
Therefore, the driver is warned of any
malfunction of this emission control
system by the lighting of this specifi c
warning light on the instrument panel.
There is a risk of damage to the
catalytic converter. Have it checked by
a CITROËN dealer.
EMISSION CONTROL
Flat tyre
Check the tyre pressure as soon as
possible.
Refer to the "Changing a wheel"
section of chapter 8.
If the damaged tyre is temporarily
stored inside the vehicle, it will again
emit this message to remind you of the
necessity of having it repaired. This will
prevent another warning of the same
type being displayed.
Sensors check the tyre pressure during
driving (speed higher than 12 mph
[20 km/h]) and trigger a warning in the
event of a malfunction or puncture.
EOBD (European On Board
Diagnosis) is a diagnostics
system which complies with,
among others, the standards

SERVICE INDICATOR
This programmes service intervals
according to the use of the vehicle.
More than 1 000 miles/km before the
next service is due
Example: 4 800 miles/km remain
before the next service is due. When
the ignition is switched on and for a
few seconds, the display shows:
A few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the oil level is displayed,
then the total distance recorder
resumes normal operation showing the
total and trip distances.
Less than 1 000 miles/km before the
next service is due
Each time the ignition is switched on
and for a few seconds, the spanner
fl ashes and the number of miles/
kilometres remaining is displayed:
A few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the oil level is displayed,
then the total distance recorder
resumes normal operation and the
spanner remains lit. This indicates that
a service should be carried out shortly.
Service overdue
First of the two terms reached: the
spanner also lights up if the two-year
interval has elapsed.
Operation
A few moments after the ignition
has been switched on, the spanner
indicating a service operation lights
up; the display for the total distance
recorder tells you (in round fi gures)
the distance remaining before the next
service.
The points at which a service is due
are calculated from the last indicator
zero reset.
The point at which a service is due is
determined by two parameters:
- the distance travelled,
- the time which has elapsed since
the last service.
The distance remaining before the
next service may be weighted by
the time factor, depending on the
driver’s driving habits.
With the engine running the
spanner remains lit until the
service has been carried out.
Each time the ignition is
switched on and for a few
seconds, the spanner
fl ashes and the excess
distance is displayed.

The programmed speed is cleared then
replaced by three dashes. Contact a
CITROËN dealer to have the system
checked.
Cancelling the programmed
reference speed
When the vehicle becomes stationary,
after switching off the ignition, the
system no longer memorises a speed.
Without using the accelerator:
- press the Set + button.
A brief press increases the speed
by 1 mph (km/h).
A maintained press increases
the speed in steps of 5 mph (km/h).
Using the accelerator:
- exceed the memorised speed until
the speed required is reached,
- press the Set + or Set - button.
To memorise a speed lower than the
previous one:
- press the Set - button.
A brief press decreases the speed
by 1 mph (km/h).
A maintained press decreases the
speed in steps of 5 mph (km/h).
- Place the dial in position 0 or
switch off the ignition to switch
everything off.
Good practice
When changing the programmed
reference speed by means of
a maintained press, pay attention as
the speed can increase or decrease
rapidly.
Do not use the cruise control on
slippery roads or in heavy traffi c.
In the event of a steep slope, the cruise
control cannot prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
In any event, the cruise control cannot
replace the need to observe the speed
limits, nor can it replace the need for
vigilance and responsibility on the part
of the driver.
It is advisable to leave your feet near
the pedals.
To avoid any jamming under the
pedals:
- ensure that the mat and its fi xings
on the fl oor are positioned correctly,
- never place one mat on top of
another.

Good practice
For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible
to exceed the value 15 by turning until
LO is displayed or the value 27
by turning until HI is displayed.
On entering the vehicle, the inside
temperature may be much colder (or
warmer) than is comfortable. There is
no advantage in changing the value
displayed in order to quickly reach the
level of comfort required. The system
will use its maximum performance
to reach the comfort value set.
AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING WITH SEPARATE ADJUSTMENTS
Automatic operation
AUTO comfort programme
This is the normal air conditioning
system operating mode.
Driver or passenger side comfort
value
The value indicated on the display
corresponds to a level of comfort and
not a temperature in degrees Celsius
or Fahrenheit.
Turn this control to the left
or to the right to decrease or
increase the value. A setting
around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort. However,
depending on your requirements, a
setting between 18 and 24 is usual.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor
located on the fascia.
Press this button, the AUTO
symbol is displayed.
In accordance with the comfort
value selected, the system
controls the distribution, the
fl ow and the intake of air to guarantee
comfort and a suffi cient circulation of
air in the passenger compartment. No
further action on your part is required.
When the engine is cold, to prevent
an excessive diffusion of cold air, the
air diffuser will reach its optimum level
gradually.
For your comfort, the settings are stored
when the ignition is switched off and are
reinstated the next time the vehicle
is started.
The automatic function will no longer
be maintained if you change a setting
manually (AUTO is cleared).

Ventilation
GOOD PRACTICE
Vents
"Leave them open"
For optimum distribution and diffusion
of hot or cool air in the passenger
compartment, there are adjustable
central and side vents which can
be directed sideways (right or left)
or vertically (up or down). For your
comfort while driving, do not close
them and direct the fl ow of air towards
the windows instead.
Air vents in the footwells and directed
towards the windscreen complete the
equipment.
Do not block the vents located at the
windscreen or the air extractor located
in the boot.
Dust filter, odour filter
(activated carbon)
This fi lter traps certain dust and limits
odours.
Ensure that this fi lter is in good
condition and have all of the fi lter
elements replaced regularly.
Refer to the "Checks" section of
chapter 7.
Air conditioning
In all seasons, the air conditioning
should only be used with the windows
closed. However, if the interior
temperature remains high after a
prolonged period parked in the sun, do
not hesitate to ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few minutes.
Use the AUTO mode as much as
possible as it permits optimised
control of all of the functions: air fl ow,
passenger compartment comfort
temperature, air distribution, air
intake mode or air recirculation in the
passenger compartment.
Operate the air conditioning system
for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a
month, to keep it in perfect working
order.
It is normal that the condensation
created by the air conditioning system
results in a fl ow of water which may
form a puddle under the vehicle when
parked.
If the system does not produce cold air,
do not use it and contact a CITROËN
dealer.
Automatic mode: visibility
programme
The comfort programme (AUTO) may
not be suffi cient to quickly demist or
de-ice the windows (humidity, several
passengers, ice).
In this case, select the visibility
programme. The visibility programme
indicator light comes on.
It activates the air conditioning, the air
fl ow and provides optimum distribution
of the ventilation to the windscreen and
side windows.
It deactivates the air recirculation.

Good practice
If the electric windows meet an
obstacle during operation, you must
reverse the movement of the window.
To do this, press the control concerned.
When the driver operates the
passenger electric window controls, he
must ensure that no one is preventing
correct closing of the windows.
The driver must ensure that the
passengers use the electric windows
correctly.
Be aware of children when operating
the windows.
Following several consecutive closing/
opening operations of the electric
window control, a protection system is
triggered which only authorises closing
of the window. After closing, wait
approximately 40 minutes. Once this
time has elapsed, the control becomes
operational again.
Lower the window fully, then raise it, it
will rise in steps of a few centimetres
each time the control is pressed.
Repeat the operation until the window
is fully closed.
Continue to press the control for at
least one second after the window
closed position has been reached.

PLAYING A CD
The MP3 format, an abbreviation of MPEG 1.2 & 2.5 Audio Layer 3,
is an audio compression standard which permits the recording of
several tens of music fi les on a single disc.
The playing and displaying of an MP3 compilation may depend on the
recording programme and/or the parameters used.
In order to be able to play a recorded CDR or CDRW, when recording
select standards ISO 9660 level 1.2 or Joliet.
If the disc is recorded in another format, it may not be played
correctly.
It is recommended that the same recording standard is always used
for an individual disc, with as low a speed as possible for optimum
sound quality.
In the particular case of a multi-session CD, the Joliet standard is
recommended.
The audio equipment will only play fi les with the extension ".mp3".
No other type of fi le (.wma, .mp4...) can be played.
It is advisable to restrict fi le names to 20 characters without using
special characters (e.g.: " " ? ; ù) to avoid any playing or displaying
problems.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
(ABS - EBFD)
The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake
force distribution) systems improve the
stability and manoeuvrability of your
vehicle on braking, in particular on
poor or slippery surfaces.
The ABS prevents locking of the
wheels, the EBFD provides control of
the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on
the display, it indicates a
malfunction of the ABS which
could result in a loss of control of the
vehicle on braking.
If this warning light comes
on, together with the brake
and STOP warning lights,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the
display, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution
which could result in a loss of control of
the vehicle on braking.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables
the optimum braking pressure to be
reached more quickly, press the pedal
fi rmly without releasing it.
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is activated.
This alters the resistance of the brake
pedal under your foot.
To prolong the operation of the
emergency braking assistance system:
keep your foot on the brake pedal.
Good practice
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock. It does not
reduce the braking distance.
On very slippery surfaces (ice, oil,
etc...) the ABS may increase the
braking distance. When braking in
an emergency, do not hesitate to
press the brake pedal fi rmly, without
releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able
to continue to manoeuvre the vehicle
to avoid an obstacle.
Normal operation of the ABS may be
felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres
and rims), ensure that these are
recommended by CITROËN .
Stop immediately.
In both cases, contact a CITROËN
dealer.
96
Driving safety
TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP)
These systems are linked and
complement the ABS.
The ASR system is very useful for
maintaining optimum drive and
avoiding losses of control of the vehicle
on acceleration.
The system optimises drive to prevent
the wheels skidding, by acting on the
brakes of the drive wheels and on the
engine. It also allows the directional
stability of the vehicle to be improved
on acceleration.
Use the ESP to hold your course
without attempting to countersteer.
If there is a variation between the
trajectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the ESP
system automatically acts on the
engine and the brake of one or more
wheels, in order to put the vehicle back
on course.
Disarming the ASR/ESP
systems
In certain exceptional conditions
(starting the vehicle when stuck in mud
or snow, or on loose ground...), it could
prove useful to disarm the ASR and
ESP systems to make the wheels spin
and regain grip.
- Press the button, located on the
centre console.
- The indicator light comes on: the
ASR and ESP systems no longer
act.
Operating check
Good practice
The ASR/ESP systems offer increased
safety during normal driving, but
should not incite the driver to take risks
or to drive at high speed.
The operation of these systems is
ensured if the recommendations
of the manufacturer regarding
the wheels (tyres and rims), the
braking components, the electronic
components and the fi tting and repair
procedures within the CITROËN
network are observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems
The luminous diode fl ashes
when the ASR or ESP is
triggered.
They engage again:
- automatically above 30 mph
(50 km/h),
- manually by pressing the button
again.
When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the indicator
light comes on, accompanied
by an audible signal and a
message on the display.
Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the
system checked.
The warning light may also come on if
the tyres are under-infl ated. Check the
pressure of each tyre.

Seat belts
SEAT BELTS
Height adjustment
Squeeze the control with the return and
slide the assembly on the driver’s seat
side and on the individual passenger
seat side.
The height of the seat belt associated
with the centre seat of the front bench
cannot be adjusted.
Fastening
Pull the strap, then insert the tongue
into the buckle.
Check that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap.
Driver’s seat belt not fastened
warning light
The seat belts are fi tted with an inertia
reel which automatically adjusts the
length of the strap to your size. The
seat belt is rolled up automatically
when not in use.
Ensure that the seat belt is rolled up
correctly after use.
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of any impact, the
pretensioning device may be triggered
before and independently of infl ation
of the air bags. It instantly tightens
the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
Triggering 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 equipment fi tted to
these seat belts is operational when
the ignition is switched on.
The inertia reels are fi tted with a device
which automatically locks the strap in
the event of a collision or emergency
braking. You can release the seat belt
and allow the strap to roll up.
The air bag warning light comes on
if the pretensioners are triggered.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Unfastening
Press the red button.
When the vehicle is started,
this warning light comes on if
the driver has not fastened his
seat belt.
Good practice
Wherever you are seated in the
vehicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even for short journeys.

98
Seat belts
In order to be effective, a seat belt
must:
- restrain one person only,
- must not be twisted, check by
pulling in front of you with an even
movement,
- be tightened as close to the body
as possible.
The upper part of the seat belt should
be positioned in the hollow of the
shoulder.
The lap part should be placed as low
as possible on the pelvis.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles as
they will not fulfi l their role completely.
If the seats are fi tted with armrests, the
lap part of the seat belt should always
pass under the armrest.
Check that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap fi rmly.
Recommendations for children:
- use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years old
or shorter than one metre fi fty,
- never allow a child to travel on
your lap, even with the seat belt
fastened.
For further information regarding
child seats, refer to the "Children
on board" section of chapter 5.
Clean the seat belt straps with
soapy water or a textile cleaning
product, sold by CITROËN
dealers.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, your CITROËN dealer
guarantees all work or any checks,
from testing to maintenance, on your
seat belt equipment.
Have the seat belts checked regularly
(even after a minor impact) by a
CITROËN dealer: they must not show
any signs of wear, cutting or fraying
and they must not be transformed or
modifi ed.
Front seat belts
The front seats are fi tted with
pretensioners and force limiters.
The seat belt associated with the
centre seat of the front bench does not
have a pretensioner.

Airbags
AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed to
maximise 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, the
electronic detectors record and analyse
the front and side impacts suffered in
the impact detection zones:
- in the event of a serious impact, the
air bags infl ate instantly and protect
the occupants of the vehicle.
Immediately after the impact, the
air bags defl ate rapidly, so that they
do not hinder the visibility of the
occupants nor their possible exit
from the vehicle.
- in the event of a minor or rear
impact and in certain roll-over
conditions, the air bags will not
be deployed; the seat belt alone
is suffi cient to provide maximum
protection in these situations.
The seriousness of the collision
depends on the nature of the obstacle
and the speed of the vehicle at the
moment of impact.
100100
Airbags
Good practice
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the air bags (a child,
pet, object...). This could hamper the
operation of the air bags or injure the
occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the air
bag systems checked.
All work on the air bag system is
strictly forbidden unless it is carried out
by qualifi ed personnel of the CITROËN
network.
Even if all of the precautions
mentioned are observed, a risk of
injury or of minor burns to the head,
chest or arms when an air bag is
triggered cannot be ruled out. In fact,
the bag infl ates almost instantly (within
a few milliseconds) then defl ates within
the same time discharging the hot gas
via openings provided for this purpose.
Side air bags
Only put recommended covers on the
seats. These will not hinder infl ation of
the side air bags. Consult a CITROËN
dealer.
Do not fi x or glue anything to the seat
backs. This could cause injury to the
chest or arms when the side air bag
infl ates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.
Front air bags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on
the centre part of the wheel.
Do not allow passengers to place their
feet on the fascia, they risk serious
injury if the air bag is triggered.
Smoke as little as possible as
deployment of the air bags can cause
burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering
wheel or hit it violently.
Air bags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
This equipment only operates once.
If a second impact occurs (during the
same or a subsequent accident), the
air bag will not operate.
The triggering of an air bag or air bags
is accompanied by a slight discharge
of harmless smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but
sensitive individuals may experience
some irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result in
a slight loss of hearing for a short time.
It is imperative that the passenger
air bag is disarmed if a child seat
is installed facing rearwards. Refer
to the "Children on board" section of
chapter 5.

Airbags
Front air bags
The front air bags are incorporated in
the centre of the steering wheel for the
driver and in the fascia for the front
passenger(s).
Activation
They are deployed simultaneously,
unless the passenger’s front air bag
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 air bag infl ates between
the front occupant of the vehicle and
the fascia to cushion his forward
movement.
Disarming
The passenger’s front air bag alone
can be disarmed:
- With the ignition switched off ,
insert the key into the passenger air
bag disarming switch
- turn it to the "OFF" position,
- then remove the key keeping the
slot in this position.
The air bag warning light on the
instrument panel is lit throughout
the period of disarming.
If the two air bag warning lights
are lit continuously, do not install
a rear-facing child seat. Consult a
CITROËN dealer.
Front air bag fault
To ensure the safety of your
child, it is essential to disarm the
passenger air bag 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 air bag were to infl ate.
Reactivation
In the "OFF" position, the passenger air bag
will not be triggered in the event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed, turn
the air bag slot to the "ON" position to
re-activate the air bag and thus ensure the
safety of your passenger in the event of
an impact.
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.

Airbags
AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed to
maximise 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, the
electronic detectors record and analyse
the front and side impacts suffered in
the impact detection zones:
- in the event of a serious impact, the
air bags infl ate instantly and protect
the occupants of the vehicle.
Immediately after the impact, the
air bags defl ate rapidly, so that they
do not hinder the visibility of the
occupants nor their possible exit
from the vehicle.
- in the event of a minor or rear
impact and in certain roll-over
conditions, the air bags will not
be deployed; the seat belt alone
is suffi cient to provide maximum
protection in these situations.
The seriousness of the collision
depends on the nature of the obstacle
and the speed of the vehicle at the
moment of impact.
100100
Airbags
Good practice
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the air bags (a child,
pet, object...). This could hamper the
operation of the air bags or injure the
occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the air
bag systems checked.
All work on the air bag system is
strictly forbidden unless it is carried out
by qualifi ed personnel of the CITROËN
network.
Even if all of the precautions
mentioned are observed, a risk of
injury or of minor burns to the head,
chest or arms when an air bag is
triggered cannot be ruled out. In fact,
the bag infl ates almost instantly (within
a few milliseconds) then defl ates within
the same time discharging the hot gas
via openings provided for this purpose.
Side air bags
Only put recommended covers on the
seats. These will not hinder infl ation of
the side air bags. Consult a CITROËN
dealer.
Do not fi x or glue anything to the seat
backs. This could cause injury to the
chest or arms when the side air bag
infl ates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.
Front air bags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on
the centre part of the wheel.
Do not allow passengers to place their
feet on the fascia, they risk serious
injury if the air bag is triggered.
Smoke as little as possible as
deployment of the air bags can cause
burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering
wheel or hit it violently.
Air bags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
This equipment only operates once.
If a second impact occurs (during the
same or a subsequent accident), the
air bag will not operate.
The triggering of an air bag or air bags
is accompanied by a slight discharge
of harmless smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but
sensitive individuals may experience
some irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result in
a slight loss of hearing for a short time.

Side air bags
This is a system which protects the
driver and front passenger in the event
of a serious side impact in order to limit
the risk of injury to the chest.
Each side air bag is incorporated in the
front seat back frame, on the door side.
Activation
It is triggered unilaterally in the event
of a serious side impact applied to
all or part 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 side air bag infl ates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
corresponding door trim pad.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
In the event of a minor impact or
bump on the side of the vehicle or
if the vehicle rolls over, the air bag
may not be triggered.
Operating fault
If this warning light comes
on on the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message
on the display, contact a
CITROËN dealer to have the system
checked. The air bags may no longer
be triggered in the event of a serious
impact.
Curtain air bags
This is a system which protects the
driver and passengers in the event of a
serious side impact in order to limit the
risk of head injuries.
Each curtain air bag is incorporated
in the pillars and the upper part of the
passenger compartment.
Activation
It is triggered at the same time as
the corresponding side air bag in the
event of a serious side impact applied
to all or part 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 curtain air bag infl ates between
the occupant of the vehicle and the

Child safety
GENERAL POINTS RELATING
TO CHILD SEATS
Although one of CITROËN’s main
criteria when designing your vehicle,
the safety of your children also
depends on you.
For maximum safety, please follow
these precautions:
- all children under the age of 12 or
less than one metre fi fty tall must
travel in approved child seats suited
to their weight, on seats fi tted with
a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings.
- statistically, the safest seats in your
vehicle for the transportation of
children are the rear seats,
- a child weighing less than 9 kg
must travel in the "rearwards-
facing" position both in the front
and in the rear,
- the passenger must not travel with
a child on his lap.
INSTALLING A CHILD SEAT USING A THREE POINT SEAT BELT
"Rearwards-facing"
Recommended on the rear seats up to
the age of 2.
When a "rearwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat, it
is essential that the passenger air bag
is disarmed. Otherwise, the child would
risk being seriously injured or killed if
the air bag were to infl ate.
"Forwards-facing"
Recommended on the rear seats over
the age of 2.
When a "forwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat,
leave the passenger air bag armed.
The rules for transporting children are
specifi c to each country. Consult the
current legislation in your country.
Please consult the list of seats
approved in your country. The isofi x
mountings, the rear seats, the
passenger air bag and the disarming of
this air bag depend on the version sold.
104104
Child safety
Refer to chapter 5, "Air bags" section.
The child seats function and the
passenger air bag disarming
function are common to the entire
CITROËN range.
If the passenger air bag is not
disarmed, the installation of a
"rearwards-facing" child seat in the
front is strictly prohibited.

Child safety
ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
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.
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.
Disarm the passenger air bag when a
"rear facing" child seat is installed on
the front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the air bag
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.
To protect young children from the rays
of the sun, fi t side blinds to the rear
windows.
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.

section of chapter 9.
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...
Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so
that the heaviest objects are as
close as possible to the axle and
the nose weight is close to the
maximum authorised without, however,
exceeding it.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the coolant temperature.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to
lower the engine speed and reduce
your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature.
Driving advice
A towed vehicle must free wheel:
gearbox in neutral.
110
Towing a trailer
Good Practice
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a
steep slope in high temperatures), the
engine automatically limits its power. In
this case, the automatic cutting off of
the air conditioning allows the engine
power to be recovered.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures
of the towing vehicle (see the
"Identifi cation features" section of
chapter 9) and of the trailer, observing
the recommended pressure.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 7.
If the coolant temperature
warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the
engine as soon as possible.
Brakes
Towing increases the braking distance.
Drive at a moderate speed, change
down early and brake gradually.

The brake fl uid must be changed at
the intervals stated, according to the
manufacturer’s servicing schedule.
Use fl uids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfi l DOT4
standards.
The level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the reservoir.
If fl uid has to be added frequently,
this indicates a failure which must be
checked by a CITROËN dealer as
soon as possible.
Warning lights
If you have to remove/refi t the
engine style cover, handle it with
care to avoid damaging the fi xing
clips.
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes. The maximum
consumption is 0.5 litre per 600 miles
(1 000 km).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the dipstick.
Dipstick
There are two marks on
the dipstick:

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.
In order to regenerate the fi lter, you
are advised to drive at a speed higher
than 40 mph (60 km/h) for at least fi ve
minutes as soon as possible, when
traffi c conditions permit (until the
message disappears and the service
warning light is switched off).
During regeneration of the particle
emission fi lter, relay noise may be
heard under the fascia.
If the message is still displayed and if
the service warning light remains on,
consult a CITROËN dealer .
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.
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped
up or replaced with water.
Capacity of the screenwash reservoir:
approximately 4.5 litres.
If your vehicle is fi tted with headlamp
washers, the capacity of the reservoir
is 7.5 litres.
Diesel additive level
(Diesel with particle
emission filter)
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.
When this occurs with the engine
running it is due to the start of
saturation of the particle emission fi lter
(exceptionally prolonged urban type
driving conditions: low speed, long
traffi c jams, ...).
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 into the ground
but into the containers dedicated to this
use at CITROËN dealer .

Carbon filter and passenger
compartment filter
An access fl ap below the glove box
permits replacement of the fi lters.
The carbon fi lter permits continuous
and effective fi ltering of dust.
If the passenger compartment fi lter
becomes clogged, this may reduce
the performance of the air conditioning
system and generate unpleasant
odours.
We recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment fi lter. By
means of its second special active
fi lter, it contributes to the purifi cation
of the air breathed by the occupants
and the cleanness of the passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, unpleasant odours and
greasy deposits).
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
It is imperative that particle emission
fi lter maintenance is carried out by a
CITROËN dealer .
On acceleration after the vehicle has
been running for a prolonged period
at very low speed or at idle, you may,
in exceptional circumstances, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust. This water vapour does not
have any adverse effect on vehicle
handling or the environment.
Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a CITROËN dealer .
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style
of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
check the thickness of the pads, even
between services.
Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear status
For any information relating to
checking the brake disc/drum wear
status, consult a CITROËN dealer .
Handbrake
Where the handbrake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the
handbrake should be adjusted, even
between services.
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer .
Oil filter
Change the fi lter regularly in
accordance with the servicing
schedule.
Refer to the servicing booklet to fi nd

Having your vehicle towed
Without lifting
(4 wheels on the road)
You should always use a towbar.
BEING TOWED
From the front
- Unclip the cover by pressing the
bottom part.
- Screw in the removable towing eye
until it locks.
From the rear
- Unclip the cover using a coin or the
fl at part of the towing eye,
- Screw in the removable towing eye
until it locks.
When towing with the engine
switched off, there is no braking or
steering assistance.
In the case of vehicles fi tted with a
manual gearbox, the gear lever must
be 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 started again.
Lifting (2 wheels on the road only)
It is preferable to raise the vehicle
using professional lifting equipment.
The towing eye is stored in the tool kit,
located under the right-hand seat.
Vehicles fitted with a manual
gearbox (diesel version)
In the case of vehicles fi tted with a
manual gearbox, the gear lever must
be in the neutral position, failure to
observe this special condition may
result in damage to certain braking
components and the absence of
braking assistance when the engine is
started again.

Weights
WEIGHTS AND TOWED LOADS (KG)
General points
The GTW and towed load values
indicated are valid up to a maximum
altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed
load mentioned must be reduced by
10 % for each additional 1 000 metres.
GTW: gross train weight
GVW: gross vehicle weight
MOM: kerb weight
CVA: vertical load on the towbar
The speed of a towing vehicle must not
exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) (comply with
the legislation in force in your country).
The braked towed weight with load
transfer can be increased on condition
that the equivalent of this load is
removed from the vehicle so that the
GTW is not exceeded. Warning: towing
using a lightly loaded towing vehicle
may have an adverse effect on its road
holding.
High exterior temperatures may result
in a reduction in the performance of the
vehicle in order to protect the engine;
when the exterior temperature is higher
than 37 °C, limit the towed weight.
The kerb weight is equal to the weight
without load + driver (75 kg) + fuel tank
fi lled to 90 %.
For further information, consult your
registration certifi cate.
In each country, it is imperative that
the towed loads authorised by local
legislation are complied with. To fi nd
out your vehicle’s towing capacities
and its gross train weight, consult a
CITROËN dealer.
