IMMOBILISER
This locks the engine management sys-
tem as soon as the ignition has been
switched off and therefore prevents
starting of the vehicle by anyone who
does not have the key.
The ignition key has an electronic chip
which has a special code. When the ig-
nition is switched on, the code must be
recognised for starting to be possible.
In the event of a malfunction, your ve-
hicle will not start.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi e d w o r k s h o p .

control battery or in the event of a re-
mote control fault, it may be neces-
sary to reinitialise the system.

Do not discard the remote
control batteries, they contain
metals which are harmful to
the environment.
Take them to a CITROËN dealership,
or to any other approved collection
point. The high frequency remote control is
a sensitive system; do not operate it
in your pockets as there is a risk that
it may unlock the vehicle without you
being aware of this.
Avoid pressing the buttons of your
remote control out of range of your
vehicle, you risk rendering it inopera-
tive. It would then have to be reini-
tialised.

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 airbag will not be deployed 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
in the instrument panel re-
mains on until the passenger
airbag is reactivated.
Flashing indicates a fault
with at least one of these
airbags.
Contact a CITROËN deal-
e r o r a q u a l i fi e d w o r k s h o p
to have the system checked. The
airbags may no longer be deployed
in the event of a serious impact.

LATERAL AIRBAGS * AND CURTAIN AIRBAGS *
The lateral airbags are built into the
front seat backs on the door side.
The deployment 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 lateral airbag

of the vehicle and the door trim pan-
el. It therefore limits the risk of injury
to the chest.
The rear lateral airbags afford the
rear passengers the same protection
which the front lateral airbags offer
the front passengers.
The curtain airbags are built into the
headlining. 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 vehicle or if the vehicle rolls over,
the airbag may not be deployed. The
airbag is not deployed in the event of
a front or rear collision.

Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes. The maximum oil
consumption is 0.5 litre per 600 miles
(1 000 km).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the dipstick.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can op-
erate with the ignition key removed
and because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
