For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:
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. Do not smoke 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. Do not fit or attach anything to the steering wheel or dashboard, this could cause injuries with deployment of the airbags.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats, compatible with the deployment the 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 (clothing...). This could cause injury to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is deployed. Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This
could cause injury to the head if the curtain airbag is deployed. If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the grab handles installed on the roof, they play a part in securing the curtain airbags.
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...), nor fix or attach anything close to the inflation trajectory of the airbags; this could cause injuries during their deployment. Never modify the original definition of your vehicle, particularly in the area directly around the airbags. After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen or broken into, have the airbag systems checked. All work on the airbag system must be carried out by 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. 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.

Stop & Start
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO" warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel and the engine goes into standby automatically:
- with a manual gearbox , at speeds below 12 mph (20 km/h), or vehicle stationary with PureTech 130 petrol and BlueHDi 115 and 120 Diesel versions, when you put the gear lever into neutral and release the clutch pedal, - with an electronic gearbox , at a speed below 5 mph (8 km/h), when you press the brake pedal or place the gear lever in position N . - with an automatic gearbox, vehicle stationary, when you press the brake pedal or place the gear lever in position N .
If your vehicle is fitted with the system, a time counter calculates the sum of the periods in STOP
Special cases: STOP mode unavailable
STOP mode is not invoked when: - the vehicle is on a steep slope (up or down), - the driver's door is open, - the driver's seat belt is not fastened, - the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph (10 km/h) since the last engine start (using the key or the "START/STOP" button), - the electric parking brake is applied or being applied, - the engine is needed to maintain a comfortable temperature in the passenger compartment, - demisting is active, - some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, braking assistance, ambient temperature...) where the engine is needed to assure control of a system.
In this case, the "ECO" warning lamp flashes for a few seconds, then goes of f. This operation is perfectly normal.
The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently. Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.
STOP mode does not affect the functionality of the vehicle, such as braking, power steering, for example. Never refuel with the engine in STOP mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key or the "START/STOP" button.
With an electronic gearbox, for your comfort during parking manoeuvres, STOP mode is not available for a few seconds after coming out of reverse g e a r.
mode during a journey. It resets itself to zero every time the ignition is switched on with the key or the "START/STOP" button.

Going into engine START mode Special cases: START invoked automatically
The "ECO" warning lamp goes off and the engine starts automatically:
- with a manual gearbox , when you fully
depress the clutch pedal, - with an electronic gearbox : ● gear lever in position A or M , when you release the brake pedal, ● or gear lever in position N and the brake pedal released, when you place the gear lever in position A or M , ● or when you engage reverse gear. - with an automatic gearbox: ● gear lever in position D or M , when you release the brake pedal, ● or gear lever in position N and brake pedal released, when you place the gear lever in position D or M , ● or when you engage reverse gear.
For safety reasons or to ensure smooth operation, START mode is invoked automatically when: - you open the driver's door,
- you unfasten the driver's seat belt, - the speed of the vehicle exceeds 15 mph (25 km/h) with a manual gearbox (3 km/h (2 mph) with PureTech 130 petrol and BlueHDi Diesel 115 and 120 versions), 7 mph (11 km/h) with an electronic gearbox or 2 mph (3 km/h) with an automatic gearbox, - the electric parking brake is being applied, - some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, braking assistance, ambient temperature...) where the engine is needed to assure control of a system.
In this case the "ECO" warning lamp flashes for few seconds, then goes of f.
This operation is perfectly normal.
With a manual gearbox in STOP mode, if a gear is engaged without fully depressing the clutch pedal, a warning lamp comes on or an alert message is displayed asking you to depress the clutch pedal to restart the engine.
