SAFETY
Deactivating the passenger
airbag
To ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to
deactivate
the
passenger
airbag
when you install
a "rear-facing" child seat on the
front passenger seat. Otherwise,
the child would risk being seri-
ously injured or killed if the air bag
w e r e t o i n fl a t e .
With the ignition switched off ,
insert the key into the passenger
airbag deactivation switch 1 , turn
it to the "OFF" position, then re-
move the key keeping the switch
in this position.
In the "OFF" position, the passen-
ger air bag will not be triggered in the
event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the airbag switch to the "ON"
position to re-activate the airbag and
thus ensure the safety of your pas-
senger in the event of an impact. If the passenger airbag is de-
activated, the warning lamp
on the instrument panel re-
mains on until the passenger
airbag is reactivated. T h e c u r t a i n a i r b a g i n fl a t e s b e t w e e n
the front or rear occupant and the
windows. It therefore limits the risk of
head injuries. In the event of a minor
impact or bump on the side of the ve-
hicle or if the vehicle rolls over, the
airbag may not be triggered. The air-
bag is not triggered in the event of a
front or rear collision.
Flashing indicates a mal-
function of at least one of
these airbags.
Contact a CITROËN deal-
er to have the system
checked. The air bags may no longer
be triggered in the event of a serious
impact.
Deactivation (check)
Airbag malfunction
* According to version.
SIDE AIRBAGS * AND CURTAIN AIRBAGS *
The side airbags are built into the
front seat backs on the door side.
The triggering of these airbags re-
quires a serious side impact applied
in the side impact zone B , perpen-
dicular to the longitudinal centreline
of the vehicle, on a horizontal plane
and from the outside of the vehicle
towards the inside. The side airbag
i n fl a t e s b e t w e e n t h e f r o n t o c c u p a n t
of the vehicle and the door trim pad.
It therefore limits the risk of injury to
the chest.
The rear side airbags afford the rear
passengers the same protection
which the front side airbags offer the
front passengers.
The curtain airbags are built into the
headlining.

be reprimed:
- fi l l t h e f u e l t a n k w i t h a t l e a s t fi v e litres of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual priming pump at least 10 times.
This is located under the protec-

- operate the starter until the en- gine starts.
Notes: if the engine does
not start after approximate-
ly 15 seconds, operate the
priming pump again approxi-
m a t e l y fi f t e e n t i m e s b e f o r e t r y i n g
again.
If the emission control warning lamp
has come on, it will only switch off af-
ter your vehicle has been used sev-
eral times.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the park-
ing brake should be adjusted, even
between services.
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
TOWING YOUR VEHICLE
Your vehicle can only be towed at
the front. Lifting (2 wheels only on the
road)
It is preferable to raise the vehicle by
the wheels.
Never use the radiator crossmember.
When your vehicle is be-
ing towed with the engine
switched off, there is no brak-
ing or steering assistance.
Without lifting (4 wheels on
the road)
You should always use a towing bar.
The removable towing eye is stored
in the spare wheel, under the boot
carpet.
Unclip the bottom of the cover,
Screw in the towing eye until it
locks.
Place the gear lever in posi-
tion N for the "SensoDrive"
gearbox.

over a very short distance (in accord-
ance with the legislation in force).
In all other cases, your vehicle must
be transported on a trailer.
