SAFETY
Seat belts
Good practice
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. The seat belt is rolled up
automatically when not in use.
Ensure that the seat belt is rolled up
correctly after use.
After folding or moving a seat, ensure that
the seat belt is rolled up correctly in its
compartment and that the buckle is ready to
accommodate the tongue. 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.
The air bag warning light comes
on if the pretensioners are
triggered. Consult a CITROËN
dealer .
Depending on the nature and seriousness
of any impact, the pretensioning device may
be triggered before and independently of
inflation of the air bags. It instantly tightens
the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt against the body of the occupants.
The equipment fitted to these seat belts is
operational when the ignition is switched on. In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
- restrain one person only,
- 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 fulfil their role completely. If the
seats are fitted 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 firmly.
Recommendations for children:
- use a suitable child seat if the passenger is less than 12 years old or shorter than
one metre fifty,
- never allow a child to travel on your lap, even with the seat belt fastened.
For further information regarding child
seats, refer to the “Child safety” section
of chapter 5.
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 modified.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product, sold
by a CITROËN dealer .

TROUBLESHOOTING
Levels
These regular maintenance operations
will keep your vehicle in good
running order. Consult the instructions at a
CITROËN dealer or in the servicing booklet
enclosed in the handbook pack.
LEVELS

Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes. The maximum
consumption is 0.5 l 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:

A = maximum
If you fill past this mark,
consult a CITROËN dealer .

B = minimum
Never allow the level to fall
below this mark.
To maintain the reliability of engines and
emission control systems, the use of
additives in engine oil is prohibited.
Oil change
It is imperative that this is carried out at the
intervals specified and the viscosity grade of
the oil selected must fulfil the requirements
in accordance with the manufacturer ’s
servicing schedule. Consult the instructions
at a CITROËN dealer .
Remove the dipstick before filling.
Check the level after filling (never exceed
the maximum mark).
Screw the cap back onto the sump before
closing the bonnet.
Changing the brake fluid
The brake fluid must be changed at
the intervals stated, according to the
manufacturer ’s servicing schedule.
Use fluids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4 standards.
The level must be between the MIN and

MAX marks on the reservoir.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a failure which must be checked by
a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.

Warning lights
Checking by means of the warning
lights on the instrument panel
is described in chapter 1, refer to the
“Instruments and controls” section.
