  Good  practice  
  
If your vehicle is fitted with front, side  
and curtain air bags, in order for these to 
be fully effective, observe the following 
safety rules:   
 Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.  
 Sit in a normal upright position. 
 Do not leave anything between the  
occupants and the air bags (child, animal, 
object...).  
 This could hamper the operation of the air  
bags or injure the occupants.  
   All work on the air bag systems is strictly  
prohibited unless it is carried out by qualified 
personnel of the  CITROËN  network.  
 After an accident or if the vehicle has been  
stolen or broken into,   have the air bag 
systems checked.     Front  air  bags  
 Do not drive holding the steering wheel  
by its spokes or resting your hands on the 
centre part of the wheel.  
 Passengers must not place their feet on the  
fascia.  
 Smoke as little as possible; 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.   
  Side  air  bags  
   Only put approved covers on the front seats.  
 Consult a CITROËN dealer.   
 Do not fix or glue anything to the front seat  
backs. This could cause injury to the chest 
or arms when the side air bag is deployed.  
 Do not sit with the upper part of the body  
any nearer to the door than necessary.    Curtain  air  bags  
 Do not fix or glue anything to the pillars or  
the roof. This could cause injury to the head 
when the curtain air bag is deployed.  
 Do not remove the bolts from the grab  
handles installed on the roof, they play a 
part in securing the curtain air bags.

  Low fuel level 
 When the fuel tank level  E  
(Empty) is reached, this warning  
light comes on. At this moment, 
you have   enough fuel left to 
drive approximately 30 miles (50 km)  , 
depending on the driving conditions, the 
engine and the profile of the road. Fill up 
without delay to avoid running out of fuel.     T h e   f u e l   t a n k   m u s t   b e   fi   l l e d    
with the engine off . 
   -   Open the fuel filler flap.  
  -   Support the cap with one hand. 
  -   With the other hand, insert the key, then  turn it anticlockwise. 
  -   Remove the cap and hook it onto the  clip located on the inside of the flap.  
 A label affixed to the inside of the flap  
reminds you of the type of fuel to be used.  
 When filling the fuel tank, do not continue  
after the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle. This could 
cause malfunctions.  
 The capacity of the fuel tank is  
approximately   90  litres. 
   -   After filling the fuel tank, lock the cap  and close the flap.  
 FUEL CIRCUIT DEACTIVATED 
 In the event of a serious collision, a device  
automatically cuts off the fuel supply    
 to the engine and the vehicle’s electrical  
supply. 
 FILLING WITH FUEL 
 Fuel tanks of different capacities,  
60 and 125 litres, are sold.    Check that there is no smell or leak of fuel 
outside the vehicle.  
 Restore the supply by pressing:  
   -   the first button, 
located below the steering wheel.
  -   the second button,    ocated in the battery l compartment  
under the front passenger ’s floor.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
8
 BEING TOWED 
  Without lifting 
(four wheels on the ground) 
 You must always use a towbar.  
  From the rear 
 Hook the bar onto the rigid eye located  
under the bumper.  
  From the front 
 The removable towing eye is located in the 
box under the front passenger seat.  
 Unclip the cover using a flat tool. 
 Screw the removable towing eye in fully. 
 Place the gear lever 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 re-started.  
  With lifting  
(2 wheels only on the ground) 
 It is preferable to lift the vehicle using  
professional lifting equipment.  When being towed with the engine 
off, there is no braking or steering 
assistance.
