SAFETY
Air bags
For the air bags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:
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 systems is strictly
forbidden unless it is carried out by the
qualified personnel of a CITROËN dealer.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are
observed, a risk of injury or of slight burns
to the head, chest or arms when an air bag
is triggered cannot be ruled out. In fact,
the bag inflates almost instantly (within a
few milliseconds) then deflates within the
same time, discharging the hot gas through
openings provided for this purpose.
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 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.
Side air bags
Only put approved covers on the seats.
These will not hinder the triggering of the
side air bags. Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Do not fix or glue anything to the seat backs.
This could cause injury to the chest or arms
when the side air bag inflates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body
any nearer to the door than necessary.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Battery
BATTERY

A. Positive metal point on your vehicle

B. Slave battery

C. Earth on your vehicle
CHARGING THE BATTERY USING A CHARGER
- disconnect the battery,
- follow the instructions for use given by
the battery charger manufacturer,
- reconnect starting with the negative (-) terminal,
- check that the terminals and connectors are clean. If they are covered with
sulphate (white or greenish deposit),
disconnect them and clean them. The charging operation must be carried
out in a ventilated area away from
naked flames or any possible sources of
sparks to eliminate the risk of explosion and
fire.
Do not attempt to charge a frozen battery: it
must first be thawed to eliminate the risks of
explosion. If the battery has frozen, before
charging it have it checked by a specialist
who will check that the internal components
have not been damaged and that the
container is not cracked, which could mean
that there is a risk of a leak of toxic and
corrosive acid.
STARTING FROM ANOTHER BATTERY
- connect the red cable to the metal point
A then to the positive (+) terminal of the
slave battery B ,
- connect one end of the green or black cable to the negative (-) terminal of the
slave battery B ,
- connect the other end of the green or black cable to the earth point C on your
vehicle,
- operate the starter, let the engine run,
- wait for the engine to return to idle, then disconnect the cables.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Fuel
FILLING WITH FUEL
Low fuel level
When the minimum fuel tank
level is reached, this warning
light comes on. At this moment,
you have approximately 6 litres
remaining. Fill up without delay to avoid
running out of fuel.
The fuel tank must be filled 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 a third of a turn.
- Remove the cap. When the fuel filler flap is open, a
safety system prevents sliding of the
side door.
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 45 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.
It also triggers the automatic unlocking of
the doors and switching on of the courtesy
lights. A message appears on the instrument
panel display according to version.
Turn the key to the STOP position to prevent
discharging of the battery.
Check that there is no smell or leak of fuel
outside the vehicle.
Re-activation
To set off again, restore the fuel supply and
the electrical supply manually:
- with the key in the STOP position, turn
the key to the RUNNING position,
- push the direction indicators control up fully,
- place it in the "Off" position,
- press the direction indicators control down fully,
- return it to the "Off" position,
- push it up fully again,
- return it to the "Off" position,
- press it down fully again,
- return it to the "Off" position,
