SAFETY
Airbags
AIRBAGS
The airbags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants in the
event of a serious collision; they work in
conjunction with the force limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, the
electronic detectors record and analyse the
front and side impacts suffered in the impact
detection zones:
- in the event of a serious impact, the airbags inflate instantly and protect the
occupants of the vehicle. Immediately
after the impact, the airbags deflate
rapidly, so that they do not hinder the
visibility of the occupants nor their
possible exit from the vehicle. - in the event of a minor or rear impact
and in certain roll-over conditions, the
airbags will not be deployed; the seat belt
alone is sufficient to provide maximum
protection in these situations.
The seriousness of the collision depends on
the nature of the obstacle and the speed of
the vehicle at the moment of impact.
Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
This equipment only operates once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same or
a subsequent accident), the airbag will not
operate.
The triggering of an airbag or airbags
is accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience some irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.
It is imperative that the passenger
airbag is disarmed if a child seat is
installed facing rearwards. Refer to the
"Children on board" section of chapter 5.

Battery Batteries contain harmful substances
such as sulphuric acid and lead. They
must be disposed of in accordance with the
law and must not, in any circumstances be
discarded with household waste.
Take used batteries to an authorised waste
disposal site.
It is advisable to disconnect the battery
if the vehicle is not to be used for a
period of more than one month. To do
this on models with Stop & Start:
- press the release button E to disconnect
connector F ,
- disconnect connector F of check sensor G .
Never remove the check sensor G from the
metallic point H , except when replacing the
battery.
The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a 12 V lead-acid battery with
special technology and specification, for
which the involvement of a CITROËN dealer
is required when replacing or disconnecting
the battery.
Failure to observe this recommendation may
cause premature wear of the battery.
After refitting the battery, the Stop &
Start system will only be active after
a continuous period of immobilisation of
the vehicle, a period which depends on the
climatic conditions and the state of charge of
the battery (up to about 8 hours). Before charging
The charging operation must be carried out in
a ventilated area away from naked fl ames or
any possible sources of sparks to eliminate the
risks of explosion and fi re.
Do not attempt to charge a frozen battery: it
must fi rst 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.
Before disconnecting
Never disconnect a terminal when the
engine is running.
Before disconnecting the battery, you must wait
for 2 minutes after switching off the ignition.
Close the windows and doors before
disconnecting the battery. After reconnecting
After every reconnection of the battery,
switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute
before starting to allow the electronic
systems to be initialised. If difficulties are
experienced after this, contact a CITROËN
dealer.
If the battery has been disconnected
for some time, it may be necessary to
reinitialise the following functions:
- the display parameters (date, time,
language, distance and temperature
units),
- the radio stations,
- the central locking.
Some settings are cleared and must be
reprogrammed. Contact a CITROËN dealer.

located behind the driver's seat (Light van)
or behind the rear bench seat (Combi).

1. Wheelbrace.

2. Centring guide.

3. Screwdriver.

4. Jack with handle.

5. Removable towing eye.
The jack and all of the tools are specific
to your vehicle. Do not use them for other
purposes.
Never go underneath the vehicle when it is
raised only by the jack; use an axle stand. Taking out the spare wheel
The spare wheel retaining bolt is located on
the rear left part of the loading sill.

1. Slacken the wheel retaining bolt using the
wheelbrace.

2. Unscrew fully to unwind the winch cable.

3. Take out the spare wheel using the
wheelbrace.

4. Raise the cover A .

5. Remove the cable B from its housing.

6. Release the spare wheel and place it

The two fuseboxes are placed on the
dashboard on the driver's side and under the
bonnet. Removing and fitting a fuse
Before changing a fuse, the cause of the
fault must be found and rectified. The fuse
numbers are indicated on the fusebox.
Always use the special tweezer to extract
the fuse from its housing and check the
condition of its filament.

Always replace a faulty fuse with a fuse
of the same rating.
If a fuse fails again soon after replacement,
have the electrical system of your vehicle
checked by a CITROËN dealer. Access to fuses in the dashboard
- To gain access to the dashboard fuses,
remove the 2 screws using the ignition
key and tilt the housing.
