Airbags

Front airbags
The front airbags are fi tted in the
centre of the steering wheel for the
driver and in the dashboard for the
front passenger.
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 infl ates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
dashboard to cushion their forward
movement. Deactivation
Only the passenger's front airbag can
be deactivated:
- With the ignition switched off ,
insert the key into the passenger's
airbag deactivation switch,
- turn it to the off "OFF" position,
- then remove the key, keeping the switch in the new position.
The airbag warning lamp
in the instrument panel
is on while the airbag is
deactivated. If the two airbag warning lamps
are on continuously, do not install
a rear-facing child seat, contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Front airbag fault
To ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to deactivate the
passenger's 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 infl ate. 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 re-
activate the airbag and so ensure the safety
of your passenger in the event of an impact.
If this warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message
in the screen, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop to have
the system checked.

Towing a trailer 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.
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.
Driving advice
A towed vehicle must free wheel:
gearbox in neutral.

The temporary tyre repair kit consists
of a compressor and a bottle
(containing a sealant).
Using the kit
1. Tick the defl ated wheel on the speed limitation sticker then affi x
the sticker to the vehicle's steering
wheel to remind you that a wheel is
in temporary use.
2. Clip the bottle 1 on the
compressor 2 .
3. Connect the bottle 1 to the valve of
the tyre to be repaired.
4. Take care to unwind the compressor pipe before connecting
it to the bottle.
5. Connect the power lead to one of the vehicle's 12V sockets.
6. Switch on the compressor by pressing button A until the tyre
pressure reaches 2.0 bars. If this
pressure cannot be reached, the
tyre cannot be repaired.
7. Remove and store the compressor.
8. Drive immediately, for a few miles (kilometres), at reduced speed,
to fi ll the puncture.
9. Adjust the pressure using the compressor in accordance with the
recommendation for the vehicle and
check that the leak is fi lled correctly
(no further loss of pressure).
10. Drive at reduced speed (50 mph [80 km/h]). The tyre must be
examined and repaired by a
specialist as soon as possible. After use, the bottle can be stored in
a plastic bag, supplied in the kit, to
avoid staining your vehicle with traces
of fl uid.
Warning: the bottle of gel contains
ethylene-glycol, a product which
is harmful if swallowed and which
causes irritation to the eyes.
Keep it out of reach of children.
After use, do not discard the bottle into
the environment, take it to a CITROËN
dealer or to an specialised waste
disposal site.
Replacement bottles of sealant are
available from CITROËN dealers.
PUNCTURE REPAIR KIT
The kit is located in one of the two
storage compartments located under
the front seats.
Vehicles supplied with a temporary
puncture repair kit do not have a spare
wheel or tooling (jack, wheelbrace, ...).

- The occupants must get out of the vehicle and wait in a safe location.
- If possible, park the vehicle on level, stable and non-slippery
ground.
- Apply the parking brake, switch off the ignition and engage fi rst or
reverse gear. - If available, place a chock under
the wheel diagonally opposite the
one to be changed.
If the vehicle is fi tted with a towbar,
it is sometimes necessary to raise
the vehicle slightly to make it easier
to remove the spare wheel from its
carrier.
On certain types of ground and/
or if considerable loads are being
transported, call a CITROËN dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.
