Driving safely  
 
FIXED SPEED LIMITER
 
If your vehicle is fitted with this function, the 
speed of your vehicle can be limited
to a fixed speed of approximately 55 mph 
(90 km/h) or 60 mph (100 km/h). This 
maximum speed cannot be changed. 
  A label in the passenger compartment 
indicates this maximum speed. 
  The fixed speed limiter is not a function 
of the cruise control type. It cannot be 
activated or deactivated by the driver while 
driving.     
Deactivation 
  Press the button, located on the dashboard, 
to deactivate the system; the warning lamp 
in the button goes off and the  ASR 
 system is 
active again.  
   
Operating fault 
  This warning lamp comes on in 
the instrument panel if there is a 
fault with the system.

SAFETY
Airbags
Deactivating the passenger airbag
   
Refer to the "MODE" section of 
chapter 4, then on the "Passenger 
airbag" menu, select  OFF 
.   When  OFF 
 is selected, the passenger airbag 
will not be triggered in the event of an impact. 
  As soon as the child seat is removed, 
select  ON 
 to re-activate the airbag and thus 
ensure the safety of your passenger in the 
event of an impact.  
Lateral airbags and curtain airbags 
 
If your vehicle is fitted with lateral airbags, 
these are fitted to the front seat backs on 
the door side. 
  The curtain airbags are fitted to the door 
pillars and the upper part of the passenger 
compartment, in the roof over the front cab 
seats. 
  They inflate between the occupant and 
the glass. 
  They are deployed independently of each 
other depending on which side the collision 
occurs. 
  The airbag warning lamp on the 
instrument panel remains on while 
the passenger airbag is deactivated. 
  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 killed or seriously 
injured if the airbag were to inflate. 
  If your vehicle is not fitted with this 
equipment: do not install a rear-facing 
child seat. 
   Deactivation check
 
This is confirmed by lighting of 
this warning lamp each time the 
engine is started. 
  If your vehicle is fitted 
with this screen, the 
check is accompanied by 
a message.     
Operating check 
  Confirmed by this indicator lamp.

Opening the bonnet
CHECK
S
On the inside
 
This operation must only be carried out with 
the vehicle stationary and the driver's door 
open. 
  Pull the release lever on the side of the 
dashboard towards you.  
 
 
On the outside 
 
Push the safety catch lever located above 
the grille to the right and raise the bonnet.  
To close 
 
Lower the bonnet and release it at the end of 
its travel. Check that the bonnet has latched. 
OPENING THE BONNET
   
Bonnet stay
 
Unclip the stay and tilt it to insert it in the 
first notch, then the second. 
  Before closing the bonnet, put the stay back 
in its housing.  
 
If the bonnet is not closed correctly, this warning 
lamp comes on in the instrument panel.  
Before doing anything under the 
bonnet, switch off the ignition with the 
key to avoid any risk of injury resulting from 
an automatic change to START mode.

Levels
LEVELS
  These regular maintenance operations 
will keep your vehicle in good running 
order. Ask for advice at a CITROËN dealer 
or consult the servicing booklet enclosed in 
the handbook pack.   To maintain the reliability of engines and 
emission control systems, the use of 
additives in engine oil is prohibited.  
 
Changing the brake fluid 
 
The brake fluid must be changed at 
the intervals stated, according to the 
manufacturer's servicing schedule. 
  Use fluids recommended by the 
manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4 standards. 
  The level must be between the  MIN 
 and 
  MAX 
 marks on the reservoir. 
  If fluid has to be added frequently, this 
indicates a failure which must be checked by 
a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.      
If you have to remove/refit the engine 
style cover, handle it with care to avoid 
damaging the fixing clips. 
   
Dipstick 
  There are two marks on 
the dipstick: 
   
Oil change
 
It is imperative that this is carried out at the 
intervals specified and the viscosity grade of 
the oil selected must fulfil the requirements 
in accordance with the manufacturer's 
servicing schedule. Ask for advice at at 
CITROËN dealer. 
  Remove the dipstick before filling. 
  Check the level after filling (never exceed 
the maximum mark). 
  Screw the cap back onto the sump before 
closing the bonnet.  
 
 Viscosity selection
 
In all cases, the oil selected must meet the 
manufacturer's requirements.  
Warning lamps
 
 
Checking by means of the warning 
lamps on the instrument panel is 
described in chapter 2, refer to the 
"Instruments and controls" section.  
   
A 
 = maximum 
  If you fill past this mark, 
contact a CITROËN dealer. 
   
B 
 = minimum 
  Never allow the level to fall 
below this mark. 
Oil level
  Check the level regularly and top up 
between changes. The maximum 
consumption is 0.5 litre per 600 miles 
(1 000 km). Check the level with the vehicle 
level, engine cold, using the dipstick.

Checks  
 
Particle filter system (Diesel) 
 
An addition to the catalytic converter, this 
filter makes an active contribution to the 
preservation of air quality by the retaining 
of the unburnt pollutant particles. Black 
exhaust fumes are thus no longer emitted. 
  This filter, fitted to the exhaust system, 
accumulates particles of soot. The engine 
control unit manages the automatic 
periodic elimination of the soot particles 
(regeneration). 
  The regeneration procedure is invoked 
according to the quantity of particles 
accumulated and the driving conditions 
of the vehicle. During this phase, you 
may notice some unusual phenomena - 
increased idling speed, cooling fan running, 
increase in smoke and higher exhaust gas 
temperature - which does not affect the 
operation of the vehicle or the environment.   After prolonged idling or driving at very low 
speeds, you may occasionally notice water 
vapour being emitted from the exhaust when 
accelerating. This is of no consequence 
to the running of the vehicle or to the 
environment. 
  Because of the higher exhaust gas 
temperature resulting from the normal 
operation of the particle filter, it is 
recommended that you do not park the 
vehicle over inflammable materials (grass, 
dry leaves, pine needles, ...) so as to avoid 
any risk of fire.    
Saturation / Regeneration 
   
Operating fault 
  If this alert persists, do not ignore the 
warning; it indicates that a fault has occurred 
in the exhaust / particle filter system. 
  Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer.  
    If there is risk of blockage of the 
filter, this warning lamp comes on 
in the instrument panel. 
  This alert tells you that the particle filter 
is starting to fill up (in conditions of urban 
driving of exceptionally long duration: low 
speeds, traffic jams etc.) 
  To regenerate the filter, it is advised to drive 
as soon as possible, when traffic conditions 
and the law permit, at a speed of at least 
40 mph (around 60 km/h), with an engine 
speed above 2 000 rpm for about fifteen 
minutes (until the warning lamp and/or the 
message disappears). 
  If possible, avoid switching off the engine 
before the end of regeneration of the 
filter; repeated interruptions could cause 
premature deterioration of the engine oil. It 
is not recommended to end regeneration of 
the filter with the vehicle stationary.
