EASE OF USE and COMFORT



Ventilation



Intake of exterior air

This is the preferred operating
position.


Recirculation of interior air

This position should only be
temporary.
Used with the air conditioning
switched on and setting of the
force of blown air (from 1 to 4), recirculation
enables you to obtain the required ambient
air comfort level with both hot or cold
settings.
Recirculation temporarily prevents exterior
odours and smoke from entering the
passenger compartment. De-icing is more
rapid in this position.
When your ambient air comfort level has
been reached, return to the intake of exterior
air position to permit renewal of the air in the
passenger compartment and demisting. This
operating mode is preferable.

Airbags


AIRBAGS

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.
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 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.
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 5.

Towing a trailer


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,
automatic cutting off of the air conditioning
allows the engine power to be saved.
If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 7.

Tyres:
check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the "Identification
markings" section of chapter 7) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressures.

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:
the system only controls the vehicle,
not the trailer.

Rear parking sensors:
the sensors
will be deactivated automatically
when an genuine CITROËN towbar is used
(see the "Rear parking sensors" section of
chapter 3).

Towbar

We recommend the use of original
CITROËN towbars and their harnesses,
which have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle, and that
the fitting of this equipment is entrusted to
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If this equipment is not fitted by a CITROËN
dealer, it is essential that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment located at
the rear of the vehicle and following the
manufacturer's instructions.
The operation of the rear parking sensors is
deactivated automatically when the trailer
cable connector is inserted in the towbar
socket.
When the trailer cable is removed, the rear
parking sensors are re-activated.
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. The air density decreases with
altitude, so reducing the performance of
the engine. The maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10 % for each 1 000 metres
of altitude. Refer to the "Technical data"
chapter for details of the weights and
towed loads applicable to your vehicle
and also to the administrative documents
(V5 registration document, ...).

QUICK HELP



Changing a fuse


CHANGING A FUSE

The two fuseboxes are placed on the
dashboard on the driver's side and under the
bonnet.

Removing and fitting a fuse

Before changing a fuse, the cause of the
fault must be found and rectified. The fuse
numbers are indicated on the fusebox.
Always use the special tweezer to extract
the fuse from its housing and check the
condition of its filament.

Always replace a faulty fuse with a fuse
of the same rating.
If a fuse fails again soon after replacement,
have the electrical system of your vehicle
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Access to fuses in the dashboard


- To gain access to the dashboard fuses,
remove the 2 screws using the ignition
key and tilt the housing.
CITROËN will not accept responsibility
for the cost incurred in repairing your
vehicle or for rectifying the malfunctions
resulting from the installation of accessories
not supplied and not recommended by
CITROËN dealers and not installed in
accordance with its instructions, in particular
when the combined consumption of all of
the additional equipment connected exceeds
10 milliamperes.

A.
Good.

B.
Failed.

C.
Tweezer.


Access to fuses in the engine
compartment


- For access to the fuses in the engine
compartment, remove the left hand front
headlamp connector, then unclip the
fusebox cover.

Checks


CHECKS


Bleeding water from
the Diesel filter

If this warning lamp comes
on, you must bleed the filter;
otherwise bleed the filter
regularly, every time the engine is
changed.
To remove the water, unscrew the bleed
screw or the water in Diesel sensor, located
at the base of the filter. Operate until all of
the water has flowed out. Then tighten the
bleed screw or the water sensor.
HDi engines use advanced technology. All
work requires specialist knowledge, which
all CITROËN dealers have.


Battery

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


Air filter and passenger compartment filter

A blocked passenger compartment filter
may reduce the performance of the
air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours. The replacement
intervals for these components are indicated
in the servicing booklet.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving...), change them twice as
often if necessary, refer to the "Under the
bonnet" section of chapter 7.


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 brake pad wear,
even between services.
Unless there is a leak on the system, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.


Brake disc/drum wear

For all 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.





The presence of this label, in particular with
the Stop & Start system, indicates the use
of a specific 12 V lead-acid battery with
special technology and specification, for
which the involvement of a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop is required when
replacing or disconnecting the battery.
Failure to observe this recommendation may
shorten the life of the battery.
