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.
Deployment
They are deployed, except the passenger's
front airbag if it has been deactivated, in the
event of a serious front impact.
The front airbag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the dashboard
to cushion their forward movement.Deactivation of the passenger's front airbag
Only the passenger's front airbag can be
deactivated. The airbag is deactivated using
the
SET / Back button in the side control
panel: in the "Bag p" menu, select "OFF".
The passenger's front airbag
warning lamp in the central
control panel is on while the
airbag is deactivated. To assure the safety of your child, you
must deactivate the passenger's front
airbag when you install a rearward facing
child seat on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being killed
or seriously injured if the airbag were to
inflate.
Refer to the "Technology on board -
Vehicle configuration" section. Operating fault
If the two airbag warning lamps are on


continuously, do not install a rearward
facing child seat.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
screen, contact a CITR
o Ë n dealer
or a qualified workshop without delay to have the

In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a steep
slope in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power. In this case,
automatic cutting off of the air conditioning
allows the engine power to be saved.If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
ChecksSee the "Levels" section of
chapter 7.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures on the
towing vehicle and the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Brakes: towing increases the braking
distance.
d rive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake gradually. Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased.
d rive smoothly and at a
moderate speed.
ABS: the system only controls the vehicle,
not the trailer.
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. The air density decreases with
altitude, so reducing the performance of the
engine. The maximum towed load must be
reduced by 10 % for each 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Refer to the "Technical data -
Identification markings" section. Rear parking sensors: the sensors will be
deactivated automatically when an genuine
CITR
o Ë n towbar is used.
Towbar
We recommend the use of genuine
CITR
o Ë n towbars and their harnesses,
which have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle, and that
the fitting of this equipment is entrusted to a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If this equipment is not fitted by a CITR
o Ë n

dealer

, it is essential that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment located at
the rear of the vehicle and following the
manufacturer's instructions.
The operation of the rear parking sensors is
deactivated automatically when the trailer
cable connector is inserted in the towbar
socket.
When the trailer cable is removed, the rear
parking sensors are re-activated.
Refer to the "Technology on board -
Parking sensors" section.
For information on the maximum
weights and towed loads applicable to
your vehicle, refer to the "Technical data -
Weights" section.

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.
a

n arrow in the instrument panel indicates
which side of the vehicle the filler flap is
located.
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 af

fixed 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.
