SAFETY



Airbags



For the airbags to be fully effective,
observe the following safety rules:
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 hamper 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 systems must be
carried out by a CITROËN or a qualified
workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are
observed, a risk of injury or of slight 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 through
openings provided for this purpose.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on the
centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
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.

Lateral airbags
Only put approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment of lateral
airbags. For information on the range of
seat covers suitable for your vehicle, you
can contact a CITROËN dealer. Refer to the
"Accessories" section.
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.

QUICK HELP



Battery


Batteries contain harmful substances
such as sulphuric acid and lead. They
must be disposed of in accordance with the
law and must not, in any circumstances be
discarded with household waste.
Take used batteries to an authorised waste
disposal site.

It is advisable to disconnect the battery
if the vehicle is not to be used for a
period of more than one month. To do
this on models with Stop & Start:


- press the release button E
to disconnect
connector F
,

- disconnect connector F
of check sensor G
.
Never remove the check sensor G
from the
metallic point H
, except when replacing the
battery.





The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a 12 V lead-acid battery with
special technology and specification;
the involvement of a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop is essential when
replacing or disconnecting the battery.
Failure to observe this recommendation may
cause premature wear of the battery.

After refitting the battery by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop, the Stop & Start system will
only be active after a continuous period of
immobilisation of the vehicle, a period which
depends on the climatic conditions and the
state of charge of the battery (up to about
8 hours).
Before charging

The charging operation must be carried out in a
ventilated area away from naked fl ames or any
possible sources of sparks to eliminate the risks of
explosion and fi re.
Do not attempt to charge a frozen battery: it must fi rst
be thawed to eliminate the risks of explosion. If the
battery has frozen, before charging it have it checked
by a specialist who will check that the internal
components have not been damaged and that the
container is not cracked, which could mean that
there is a risk of a leak of toxic and corrosive acid.


Before disconnecting
Never disconnect a terminal when the engine is
running.
Before disconnecting the battery, you must wait
for 2 minutes after switching off the ignition.
Close the windows and doors before
disconnecting the battery.
After reconnecting
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 difficulties are
experienced after this, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
If the battery has been disconnected
for some time, it may be necessary to
reinitialise the following functions:


- the display parameters (date, time,
language, distance and temperature
units),

- the radio stations,

- the central locking.
Some settings are cleared and must be
reprogrammed. Contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.

Fuel


FILLING WITH FUEL

Capacity of the fuel tank: approximately 45 litres.


Low fuel level

When the minimum fuel tank level
is reached, this warning lamp
comes on. When it first comes on,
you have approximately 6
litres
of fuel remaining. Refuel without delay to
avoid running out of fuel. Refuelling must be done with the engine off.


- Open the fuel filler flap.

- Hold the filler cap with one hand.

- With the other hand, insert the key, then
turn it a third of a turn.

- Remove the filler cap and hang it on the
hook, located on the inside of the filler
flap.

FUEL CIRCUIT DEACTIVATED

In the event of a serious collision, a device
automatically cuts off the fuel supply to the
engine and the vehicle's electrical supply.
It also triggers the automatic unlocking of
the doors and switching on of the courtesy
lights. A message appears on the instrument
panel display according to version.
Turn the key to the STOP position to prevent
discharging of the battery.
Check that there is no smell or leak of fuel
outside the vehicle.






With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key.
When the fuel filler flap is open, a
safety system prevents sliding of the
side door (Combi).
A label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be used.
Opening the filler cap may cause a noise
resulting from the inrush of air. This vacuum
is quite normal and results from the sealing
of the fuel system.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue
after the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle; this could
cause malfunctions.
After filling the fuel tank, lock the filler cap
and close the flap.
