A FEW DRIVING RECOMMENDATIONS
Observe the driving  regulations  at  all  times
 and  remain  vigilant  whatever  the  
traffic

  conditions.
Pay
 
close
 
attention
 
to
 
the
 
traffic
 
and
 
keep

 
your
 
hands
 
on
 
the
 
wheel
 
so
 
that
 
you

 
are
 
ready
 
to
 
react
 
at
 
any
 
time
 
to
 
any

  eventuality.
On
 
a
 
long
 
journey
,  
a
 
break
 
every
 
two hours

  is   strongly   recommended.
In
 
difficult
 
weather
,  
drive
 
smoothly
,  
an
-
ticipate
 
the
 
need
 
to
 
brake
 
and
 
increase
 
the

  distance   from   other   vehicles.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise  against  driving  on  flooded
 roads,  as  this  could  cause  seri -
ous
 
damage
 
to
 
the
 
engine
 
or
 
gearbox,
 
as

 
well
 
as
 
to
 
the
 
electrical
 
systems
 
of
 
your

  vehicle.
Important!
Never drive  with  the  parking  brake
 applied  -  Risk  of  overheat -
ing
 
and
 
damage
 
to
 
the
 
braking
 
system!
Do

 
not
 
park
 
or
 
run
 
the
 
engine when

stationary in areas where
inflammable substances  and  ma -terials (dry grass,  dead  leaves...) might
 come  into  contact  with  the hot

 
exhaust
 
system 
-  
Risk
 
of
 
fire!
n

ever leave a vehicle unsuper-
vised
 
with
 
the
 
engine
 
running.
 
If
 
you have to leave your vehicle
with

 
the
 
engine
 
running,
 
apply
 
the

 
parking
 
brake
 
and
 
put
 
the
 
gearbox

 
into
 
neutral
 
or
 
posi
-
tion

N
or P,  
depending
 
on
 
the
 
type

  of   gearbox.
If
 
you

 
are

 
obliged

 
to

 
drive

 
through

 
water:
-

 
check

 
that

 
the

 
depth

 
of

 
water

 
does

 
not

 
exceed

 
15

 
cm,

 
taking

 
account

 
of

 
waves

 
that

 
might

 
be

 
generated

 
by

 
other users,
-

 
deactivate

 
the
 
Stop
 
&
 
Start
 
system,
-
 
drive

 
as

 
slowly

 
as

 
possible

 
without

 
stallin

g.
 
In

 
all

 
cases,

 
do

 
not

 
exceed

 
6

 
mph
 
(10
 
km/h),
-
 
do

 
not

 
stop

 
and

 
do

 
not

 
switch

 
of

f
 
the

 
engine.
On

 
leaving

 
the

 
flooded

 
road,

 
as

 
soon

 
as

 
circumstances

 
allow

,
 
make

 
several

 
light

 
brake

 
applications

 
to

 
dry

 
the

 
brake

 
discs

 
and
 
pads.
If
 
in

 
doubt

 
on

 
the

 
state

 
of

 
your

 
vehicle,

 
contact

 
a

 
CITROËN

Anti-theft protection
Electronic engine immobiliser
The 
key
 
contains
 
an
 
electronic
 
chip
 
which

 
has
 
a
 
special
 
code.
 
When
 
the
 
ignition

 
is
 
switched
 
on,
 
this
 
code
 
must
 
be

by
 
anyone

  who   does   not   have   the   key.
In the event of a fault, you
are
 
informed
 
by
 
illu
