recommendations for children:
-
use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years old
or
shorter than one metre fifty,
-
never allow a child to travel on
your lap, even with the seat belt
fastened. For
more information on child
seats, refer to the "Children on
board"
section of chapter 5.
Clean the seat belt straps with
soapy water or a textile cleaning
product, sold by CITR
o Ë n
dealers.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, your CITR
o Ë n dealer can
guarantee
all work or any checks, from
testing
to maintenance, on your seat
belt
equipment.
Have
the seat belts checked regularly
(even
after a minor impact) by a
CITROËN
dealer or a qualified
workshop:
they must not show any
signs of wear
, cutting or fraying
and
they must not be converted or
modified.
The
force
limiter
reduces
the
pressure
of the seat belt against the body of the
occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active

or
if
the
vehicle
rolls
over.
You can unfasten the seat belt by

In
order
to
be
effective,
a
seat
belt:
-
must
restrain
one
person
only,
-
must
not
be
twisted,
check
by
pullin
g in front of you with an even
movement,
-
must
be
tightened
as
close
to
the
body
as
possible.
The upper part of the seat belt should
be positioned in the hollow of the
shoulder.
The lap part should be placed as low
as
possible
on
the
pelvis.
d
o not interchange the seat belt
buckles
as
they
will
not
fulfil
their
role
completely
.
If
the
seats
are
fitted
with
armrests,
the
lap
part
of
the
seat
belt
should
always
pass
under
the
armrest.
Check
that
the

Good practice
Sit in a normal upright position.
W ear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
d
o not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child,
pet,
object...).
This
could hinder the
operation
of the airbags or injure the
occupants.
a
fter an accident or if the vehicle has
been
stolen or broken into, have the
airbag
systems checked.
All
work on the airbag system is strictly
forbidden unless it is carried out by
qualified
personnel at a CITROËN
dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions
mentioned
are observed, a risk of
injury
or of minor 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
via
openings provided for this purpose.Lateral airbags
Only
put recommended covers on
the
seats.
These
will not hinder
inflation
of the lateral airbags. Contact
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Do
not fix or attach anything to the seat
backs.
This
could cause injury to the
chest
or arms when the lateral airbag
inflates.
d
o not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.
Front airbags
d
o not drive holding the steering wheel
by
its spokes or resting your hands on
the
centre part of the wheel.
d
o not allow passengers to place
their
feet on the dashboard, they risk
serious
injury if the airbag is deployed.
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.
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
deployment
of
an
airbag
or
airbags
is
accompanied
by
a
slight
discharge
of
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. The
passenger's
front
airbag
must
be deactivated if a child seat is
installed

Front airbags
The front airbags are fitted in the centre of the steering wheel for the
driver and in the dashboard for the
front passenger.
d
eployment
They are deployed, except the
passenger's front airbag if it 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 inflates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
dashboard to cushion their forward
movement.
d
eactivationo
nly the passenger's front airbag can
be deactivated:
-
with the ignition switched off
,
insert
the key into the passenger's
front airbag deactivation switch,
-
turn it to the of
f "OFF" position,
-
then
remove the key, keeping the
switch
in the new position.
The passenger's front
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 qualified
workshop.
Front airbag fault
T
o ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to deactivate the
passenger's front airbag when you
install a rear-facing child seat on the
front
passenger seat. Otherwise, the
child
would
risk
being
kille
d
or
seriously
injured
if the airbag were to inflate.
r
eactivation
In the "OFF" position, the passenger's
front 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
"O n "
position to re-activate the passenger's
front 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
CITR
o Ë n dealer or a

Only use the fluid recommended by the manufacturer.
Otherwise,
you risk seriously damaging
your
engine.
When
the engine is warm, the
temperature
of the coolant is controlled
by
the engine fan.
As
this fan can
operate
with the ignition key removed
and
because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying
out any work.
Slacken
the cap by 1/4 of a turn to
release the pressure to prevent any
risk
of scalding. When the pressure
has
dropped, remove the cap and top
up
the level with coolant.
If
fluid has to be added frequently,
this
indicates a fault which must be
checked
by a CITROËN dealer as
soon
as possible.
Power steering fluid level
The vehicle must be parked on level ground with the engine cold. Unscrew
the cap integrated with the gauge and
check
the level which must be between

than
40 mph (60 km/h) for at least five minutes
as soon as possible, when
traffic
conditions permit (until the
