Airbags Disarming
The passenger's front airbag alone can be
disarmed:
- With the ignition switched off , insert
the key into the passenger airbag
disarming switch,
- turn it to the "OFF" position,
- then remove the key keeping the slot in this position.
Front airbags
The front airbags are incorporated in the
centre of the steering wheel for the driver
and in the fascia for the front passenger.
Reactivation
In the
"OFF" position, the passenger airbag
will not be triggered in the event of an
impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed, turn
the airbag slot to the "ON" position to
re-activate the airbag and thus ensure the
safety of your passenger in the event of an
impact. To ensure the safety of your child, it
is essential to disarm the passenger
airbag when you install a rear-facing child
seat on the front passenger seat. Otherwise,
the child would risk being killed or seriously
injured if the airbag were to inflate.
The airbag warning light on the
instrument panel is lit throughout
the period of disarming.
Activation
They are deployed simultaneously, unless
the passenger's front airbag has been
disarmed, in the event of a serious front
impact applied to all or part of the front
impact zone
A in the longitudinal centreline
of the vehicle on a horizontal plane directed
from the front towards the rear of the
vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the fascia to
cushion his forward movement. If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message on the display,
contact a CITROËN dealer to
have the system checked.
Front airbag fault
If the two airbag warning lights are lit
continuously, do not install a rear-facing
child seat. Consult a CITROËN dealer.

Airbags
Good practice
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
object...). This could hamper the operation
of the airbags or injure the occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.
All work on the airbag system is strictly
forbidden unless it is carried out by qualified
personnel of the CITROËN network.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned
are observed, a risk of injury or of minor
burns to the head, chest or arms when an
airbag 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 via
openings provided for this purpose. Side airbags
Only put recommended covers on the seats.
These will not hinder inflation of the side
airbags. 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 airbag inflates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body
any nearer to the door than necessary.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on the
centre part of the wheel.
Do not allow passengers to place their feet
on the fascia, they risk serious injury if the
airbag is triggered.
Smoke as little as possible as deployment
of the airbags can cause burns or the risk of
injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel
or hit it violently.

Repairing a wheel
PUNCTURE REPAIR KIT
The kit is located at the rear left of the
vehicle.
The temporary tyre repair kit consists of
a compressor and a bottle (containing a
sealant). Using the kit
- Switch off the ignition,
- affix the speed limitation sticker to the
vehicle's steering wheel to remind you
that a wheel is in temporary use,
- check that the switch A is at position " 0 ",
- connect the pipe of the bottle 1 to the
valve of the tyre to be repaired,
- connect the compressor's electrical plug to the vehicle's 12 V socket,
- start the vehicle and let the engine run,
- switch on the compressor by pressing the switch A to position " 1 " until the tyre
pressure reaches 2.0 bars, - remove the compressor, unclip and
store the bottle in a sealed bag to avoid
staining your vehicle with traces of fluid,
- drive immediately, for approximately two miles (three kilometres), at reduced
speed (between 12 and 37 mph (20 and
60 km/h)), to seal the puncture,
- stop to check the repair and the pressure,
Vehicles supplied with a temporary
puncture repair kit do not have a spare
wheel or tooling (jack, wheelbrace, ...). If, after approximately five to
ten minutes, you are not able to obtain
this pressure, the tyre cannot be repaired;
contact a CITROËN dealer for roadside
assistance.

Having your vehicle towed
Without lifting
(4 wheels on the road)
You should always use a towbar.
From the front
- Unclip the cover by pressing the bottom part.
- Screw in the removable towing eye until it locks.
BEING TOWED
Lifting (2 wheels on the road only)
It is preferable to raise the vehicle using
professional lifting equipment.
From the rear
- Unclip the cover using a coin or the flat part of the towing eye,
- Screw in the removable towing eye until it locks. When towing with the engine switched
off, there is no braking or steering
assistance.
Vehicles fitted with a manual
gearbox (diesel version)
In the case of vehicles fitted with a manual
gearbox, the gear lever must be in the
neutral position. Failure to observe this
special condition may result in damage
to certain braking components and the
absence of braking assistance the next time
the engine is started.
