Airbags
SAFETY
4
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.
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 4.
Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
AIRBAGS
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.

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 hinder 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 at a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
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 deployed 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.
Lateral airbags
Only put recommended covers on the seats.
These will not hinder inflation of the lateral
airbags. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backs. This could cause injury to the chest
or arms when the lateral 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 dashboard, they risk serious injury if
the airbag is deployed.
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.

Checks
Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
To check the main levels and certain
components, in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule, refer to
the pages of the servicing booklet which
correspond to your vehicle's engine.
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of units as
important as the braking system, CITROËN
selects and offers specific products.
In order to avoid damaging the electrical
units, high pressure washing to clean the
engine compartment is strictly prohibited.
Bleeding the water contained in the
Diesel filter
If this warning lamp comes on,
bleed the filter. Otherwise bleed
regularly each time the engine oil
is changed.
To evacuate the water, unscrew the bleed
screw located on the end of the transparent
pipe.
Operate until all of the water in the
transparent pipe has been drained out then
tighten the bleed screw.
HDi engines use advanced technology.
Contact a CITROËN or a qualified workshop
for all work on the system.
1.6 litre HDi
2 litre HDi
During this regeneration, you may notice
that the idling speed is higher than normal
and that the cooling fan is running. As
operation of the exhaust emissions controls
may cause the exhaust gas temperature to
reach very high levels, it is recommended
that you do not stop the vehicle over easily
inflammable surfaces (dry grass and leaves,
pine needles, edge of a meadow or forest).

Fuel
DIESEL PRIMING PUMP
If you should run out of fuel, it is necessary
to prime the circuit:
- fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of
diesel,
- open the bonnet,
- unclip the protective cover for access to
the priming pump,
- place the cover to the right of the engine,
- firmly squeeze and release the manual
priming pump until fuel stiffens the pipe,
- operate the starter until the engine
starts,
- place the two slots in the lugs behind the
engine to allow the protective cover to
be refitted,
- clip the protective cover in place,
- close the bonnet. If the engine does not start first time,
do not keep trying.
Operate the priming pump again, then
start the engine.

BATTERY
This is housed in a compartment located
underneath the fl oor, in front of the front right seat.
Before disconnecting the battery, you must
wait for 2 minutes after switching off the
ignition.
Never disconnect a terminal when the
engine is running.
Never charge a battery without first
disconnecting the terminals.
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 some problems
persist after this operation, please contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. It is advisable to disconnect the battery
if the vehicle is not to be used for a
period of more than one month.
After the engine has stopped, with the key
in the ignition position, certain functions
(windscreen wiper, electric windows, courtesy
lights, audio equipment, etc.) can only be used
for a cumulative duration of thirty minutes, to
prevent discharging of the battery.
To charge the battery using a battery
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.
To start the vehicle from another
battery
- Connect the red cable to the positive (+)
terminals of the two batteries,
- Connect one end of the green or black
cable to the negative (-) terminal of the
slave battery,
- Connect the other end of the green or
black cable to an earth point on the
broken down vehicle as far as possible
from the battery,
- Operate the starter, let the engine run,
- Wait for the engine to return to idle, then
disconnect the cables. Once the thirty minutes are over, the active
functions are put on standby and the battery
warning light flashes accompanied by a
message on the display.
To resume the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run
for a few minutes.
The time available will then be double the
time for which the engine was left running.
However, this time will always be between
five and thirty minutes.
A flat battery will prevent the engine from
starting.

Having your vehicle towed
Without lifting (4 wheels on the
road)
You should always use a towing bar.
From the front
- Unclip the cover by pressing the bottom
part.
- Fully screw in the removable towing eye.
TOWING THE VEHICLE
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,
- Fully screw in the removable towing eye.
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.

NAVIDRIVE
The NaviDrive is coded in such a way that it will onlyoperate in your vehicle. If it is to be installed in another vehicle, contact a CITROËN dealer for confi guration of py
the system.
For safet
y reasons, it is imperative that the driver carries
out operations which require prolonged attention while
the vehicle is stationary.
When the en
gine is switched off and to prevent
discharging of the battery, the NaviDrive may switch off after a few minutes.
