Do not forget to ask your insurance company for an International Green C\
ard. This will avoid extra expenses
when entering countries where insurance is compulsory and can avoid seri\
ous complications in the event of an accident in another country.
However, it is only valid in those countries which are covered by the In\
surance policy (look for the geographical limits in the "General Conditions" section of your policy)\
.
In certain countries, a large sum may be required as a deposit in case o\
f an accident causing personal bodily injury. There are insurance policies which cover this risk.
If you are going to a country where the opposite rule of the road applie\
s, first consult your Citroën dealer about dipped headlamps.

Replacement parts
Every genuine CITROËN replacement part is sold only through
the company's network of dealers.
It is in the interest of the user, for his own safety and for the
guarantee, to refuse any other part.
In effect, the fitting of parts or units of different origin could
involve him in legal liability if such fitting caused a vehicle to
fail to conform to legal requirements of the country concerned,
particularly as regards SAFETY, ANTI-POLLUTION,
IGNITION INTERFERENCE SUPPRESSION, and NOISE
LEVEL.
Furthermore, such fitting would remove from the user any
possibility of recourse against the manufacturer.
In particular, items concerned are:
- components of braking systems,
- components of lighting and signalling systems,
- engine components,
- exhaust components,
- steering components,
- structural items,
- suspension components.

starts to run and dies, accelerate progressively to avoid stalling. If
the engine does not start at idling speed, pull the choke out to its

At a speed of over about 1,000 rpm, the clutch behaves in the
same way as a conventional clutch. The clutch pedal must be
used to change gear.
When running downhill, slowing down abruptly may cause
the clutch to disengage. Re-engage the clutch immediately
with a light touch on the accelerator before the car gathers
speed in free-wheeling.
