SAFETY
Seat belts
FRONT SEAT BELTS
The front seats are fitted with pre-tensioners
and force limiters.
Fastening
Pull the strap, then insert the tongue into the
buckle.
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap.
The lap belt must be positioned as low as
possible on the pelvis. The chest belt must
pass over the hollow of the shoulder.
Inertia reel seat belts
These are fitted with a device which locks
automatically in the event of a collision or
emergency braking.
Safety in the event of a front impact has
been improved by the introduction of
pretensioning and force limiting seat belts.
Depending on the seriousness of the
impact, the pretensioning system instantly
tightens the seat belt against the body of the
occupant.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt against the body of the occupant in
the event of an accident.
Driver's seat belt not fastened warning
lamp
When the vehicle is started, this
warning lamp comes on if the
driver has not fastened their seat
belt.
REAR SEAT BELTS (COMBI)
The 3-seat bench is fitted with three-point
inertia reel seat belts with force limiter.
The centre seat has a seat belt guide and
inertia reel, integrated with the seat back.
When a seat belt is not in use, you can
store its buckle in the housing provided
in the bench seat cushion.
If the driver's seat belt is unfastened,
the START mode of Stop & Start will
not be invoked. The engine can only be
restarted using the ignition key.

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
negative battery terminal 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
flames or any possible sources of sparks to
eliminate the risks of explosion and fire.
Do not attempt to charge a frozen battery: it
must first 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 screen settings (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 CUT-OFF
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 automatically unlocks the doors
and switches on of the courtesy lamps. A
message appears in the instrument panel
screen 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.

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
oil 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 maintenance and warranty guide.
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 type 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.
The involvement of a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop is essential when
replacing or disconnecting the battery.
