accompanied by an audible
signal, contact a CITROËN
dealer to have the system
checked. The airbags may
no longer be triggered in the event of
a serious impact.
Front airbag malfunction
Disarming the passenger
airbag
To ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to disarm the pas-
senger airbag when you install a
rear-facing child seat on the front
passenger seat. Otherwise, the
child would risk being killed or se-
riously injured if the airbag were
to infl ate.
)
With the ignition switched off
,
insert the key into the passenger
airbag disarming switch 1
, turn it
to the "OFF"
position, then re-
move the key keeping the slot in
this position. The airbag warning light on
the instrument panel is lit
throughout the period of dis-
arming.
In the "OFF"
position, the passen-
ger 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"
posi-
tion to re-activate the airbag and thus
ensure the safety of your passenger
in the event of an impact.
This is confi rmed by an indi-
cator light, accompanied by
a message on the display.
With the ignition on
(2nd notch), illumination of this
warning light indicates that the pas-
senger airbag is disarmed (switch in
the "OFF"
position).
If the two airbag warning
lights are lit continuously, do
not install a rear-facing child
seat. Consult a CITROËN
dealer.

CHECKING LEVELS
Dipstick
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer's require-
ments.
Note:
the coolant does not need to
be changed.
For vehicles equipped with a par-
ticle fi lter, the engine fan may op-
erate after the ignition has been
switched off, even when the engine
is cold.
There are two marks
on the dipstick:
A
= maximum
Never fi ll past this
mark.
B
= minimum
To maintain the reli-
ability of engines and
emission control sys-
tems, the use of ad-
ditives in engine oil is
prohibited.
Brake fluid level
The brake fl uid must be changed ac-
cording to the manufacturer's servic-
ing schedule.
Use fl uids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfi l DOT4
standards.
Cooling system
Use the fl uid recommended by the
manufacturer.
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.
Slacken the cap by two turns to re-
lease the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.
Power steering reservoir
)
Open the reservoir, with the en-
gine at ambient temperature. The
level should always be above the
MIN. mark and close to the MAX.
mark.
Windscreen and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for
your safety, we would advise that
you use products recommended by
CITROËN.
For optimum cleaning and to prevent
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped
up or replaced with water.
Used products
Avoid products such as used oil and
brake fl uid coming into prolonged
contact with the skin.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fl uid or
coolant into drains or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the containers pro-
vided for this purpose in the CITROËN
dealer network (France) or to an author-
ised waste disposal site.
Oil level
It is normal to top up the engine oil
between services. CITROËN rec-
ommends that you check the oil
level, and top up if necessary, every
3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the oil level gauge
on the instrument panel or the dip-
stick.
