Airbags

SAFETY
4

The airbags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants (with
the exception of the centre seats of rows
2 and 3) 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 contribute
towards better protecting the occupants of the vehicle. Straight after the impact
the airbags quickly deflate so as to
not impede visibility, or the exit of
passengers if required.


- 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 contribute
towards providing your 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's
airbag is deactivated 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.
This equipment only operates once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same or
a subsequent accident), the airbag will not
operate.
The deployment of an airbag or airbags is
accompanied by a slight discharge of 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.

Lateral airbags

If fitted on your vehicle, this is a system
which protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a serious side
impact in order to limit the risk of injury to
the chest.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the front seat
back frame, on the door side.
Impact detection zones


A.
Front impact zone.

B.
Side impact zone. If this warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked. The
airbags may no longer be deployed in the
event of a serious impact.


Deployment
It is deployed unilaterally in the event of a
serious side impact applied to all or part
of the side impact zone B
, perpendicular
to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle
on a horizontal plane and directed from the
outside towards the inside of the vehicle.
The lateral airbag inflates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
corresponding door trim panel.


Curtain airbags

This is a system which protects the driver
and passengers (with the exception of the
centre seats of rows 2 and 3) in the event of
a serious side impact in order to limit the risk
of head injuries.
Each curtain air bag is incorporated in the
pillars and the upper part of the passenger
compartment.

Deployment
It is deployed at the same time as the
corresponding lateral airbag in the event of
a serious side impact applied to all or part
of the side impact zone B
, perpendicular to
the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The curtain airbag infl ates between the front or
rear occupant of the vehicle and the windows.
In the event of a minor impact or bump
on the side of the vehicle or if the
vehicle rolls over, the airbag may not be
deployed.
The airbag is not deployed in the event of a
rear or front collision.

Airbags
Deactivating
The passenger's front airbag alone can be
deactivated:


- With the ignition switched off
, insert
the key into the passenger's airbag
deactivation switch,

- turn it to the "OFF"
position,

- then remove the key keeping the switch
in the new position.


Front airbags

The front airbags are fitted in the centre of
the steering wheel for the driver and in the
dashboard for the front passenger.
Reactivation
In the "OFF"
position, the passenger's airbag
will not be deployed in the event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed, turn
the airbag switch to the "ON"
position to
reactivate 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 deactivate the passengers
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 lamp in the
instrument panel is on while the
airbag is deactivated.
Deployment
They are deployed simultaneously, unless
the passenger's front airbag has been
deactivated, 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 dashboard
to cushion their forward movement.

Front airbag fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
If the two airbag warning lamps are on
continuously, do not install a rear-facing
child seat. Contact a CITROËN or a qualified
workshop.

For more information about weights,
refer to the administrative documents
(registration document, ...) or to the
"Weights" section of chapter 8.
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...


Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest objects are as close as possible
to the axle and the nose weight is close to
the maximum authorised without, however,
exceeding it.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
coolant temperature.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on the
engine speed.

Driving advice

A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox in
neutral.

11 8


Towing a trailer
You should therefore use a high gear to
lower the engine speed and reduce your
speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
Ty r e s
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle (see the "Identification markings"
section of chapter 8) and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pressures.
Towbar

We recommend the use of genuine
CITROËN towbars and their harnesses,
which have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle, and that
you entrust the fitting of this equipment to a
CITROËN dealer.
If this equipment is not fitted by a CITROËN
dealer, it is imperative that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment installed at the
rear of the vehicle and in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
In accordance with the general instructions
a reminder of which has been given above,
we draw your attention to the risk associated
with fitting a towbar or electrical accessory
not recommended by CITROËN. Fitting such
equipment could result in the failure of your
vehicle's electronic system. Please obtain
information from the Manufacturer before
fitting this type of equipment. If the coolant temperature warning
lamp comes on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine as soon
as possible.

Good Practice

In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a steep
slope in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power. In this case,
the air conditioning is automatically cut off to
save engine power.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 6.
Brakes
Towing increases the braking distance. Drive
at a moderate speed, change down early
and brake gradually.

Side wind
Sensitivity to side wind is increased. Drive
smoothly and at a moderate speed.

ABS/DSC
The ABS or DSC systems only control the
vehicle, not the trailer or caravan.

Rear parking sensors
The parking sensors system does not
function while the vehicle is towing.

CHECKS


Battery

At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Brake pads

Brake pad wear depends on the style of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the thickness of the
pads, even between services.
Unless there is a leak in the system, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.


Brake disc / drum wear

For any information on checking the brake
disc / drum wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.

Parking brake

Where the parking brake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the parking brake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Oil filter

Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the servicing schedule.
Carbon filter and passenger compartment filter

The carbon filter permits continuous and
effective filtering of dust.
If the passenger compartment filter becomes
clogged, this may reduce the performance
of the air conditioning system and generate
unpleasant odours.
We recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment filter. By means of
its second special active filter, it contributes
to the purification of the air breathed by
the occupants and the cleanness of the
passenger compartment (reduction of
allergic symptoms, unpleasant odours and
greasy deposits).
Refer to the servicing and warranty booklet
to find out the replacement interval for these
components.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving...), change them twice as
often if necessary.

Particle emission filter (Diesel)

This filter actively contributes
to the preservation of air quality
by trapping unburnt polluting
particles. It is controlled
completely and automatically by the engine
management system.
This warning lamp comes on if there is a risk
of blockage of the filter.
This alert signals the start of saturation of
the particle emissions filter (exceptionally
prolonged driving in urban conditions:
reduced speed, traffic jams…).
If this alert persists, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
On acceleration after the vehicle has been
running for a prolonged period at very low
speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional
circumstances, notice the emission of water
vapour at the exhaust. This water vapour
does not have any adverse effect on vehicle
handling or the environment.
To regenerate the filter, it is recommended
that as soon as driving conditions permit,
you drive at a speed of at least 36 mph
(60 km/h) for at least 5 minutes (until the
warning lamp goes off and/or the message
disappears).
Refer to "Under the bonnet" in section 6.
