AT A GLANCE
Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in
the bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance
(roof bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in
preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer
tyres.
Observe the recommendations on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the
label in the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
- before a long journey,
- at each change of season,
- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or
caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air
filter, cabin filter...) and observe the schedule of operations in the
maintenance and warranty guide.
When refuelling, do not continue after the 3
rd cut-off of the nozzle
to avoid any overflow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the fi rst 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a consistent average.

Airbags
Deactivating the passenger's front airbag
When OFF is selected, the passenger's front
airbag will not be triggered in the event of an
impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed, select ON to
re-activate the airbag and thus ensure the safety
of your passenger in the event of an impact. Lateral airbags and curtain airbags
If your vehicle is fitted with lateral airbags,
these are fitted to the front seat backs on
the door side.
The curtain airbags are fitted to the door
pillars and the upper part of the passenger
compartment, in the roof over the front cab
seats.
They inflate between the occupant and the
glazed area.
They are deployed independently of each
other depending on which side the collision
occurs.
To ensure the safety of your child, it is
essential to 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.
If your vehicle is not fitted with this facility:
do not install a rearward facing child seat. Deactivation check
This is confirmed by the
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by a message in
the display screen, every time the
engine is started.
Operating fault If this warning lamp comes on,
contact a CITROËN dealer to
have the vehicle checked.
Refer to the "Technology on board -
Vehicle configuration" section.
The setting is made using the "
MODE "
button: in the "Passenger airbag" menu,
select " OFF ".

SAFETY
Airbags
Good practice
If your vehicle is fitted with front, lateral
and curtain airbags, in order for these to
be fully effective, observe the following
safety rules:
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Sit in a normal upright position.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (child, animal,
object...).
This could hamper the operation of the
airbags or injure the occupants.
All work on the airbag systems must be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.
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.
Smoke as little as possible; 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.
Lateral airbags
Fit only approved covers on the front seats,
compatible with the deployment of lateral
airbags. For information on the range of
covers suitable for your vehicle, contact a
CITROËN dealer.
Do not fix or attach anything to the front seat
backs. This could cause injury to the chest
or arms when 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 pillars or
the roof. This could cause injury to the head
when the curtain airbag is deployed.
Do not remove the bolts from the grab
handles installed on the roof, they play a
part in securing the curtain airbags.

Child safety
"ISOFIX" MOUNTINGS
Your vehicle has been approved
to the latest ISOFIX regulation. The mountings comprise three rings for each
seat:
- two front rings, located between the
vehicle seat back and cushion, indicated
by a label,
- a rear ring, for securing the upper strap referred to as the TOP TETHER,
indicated by another label.
This ISOFIX mounting system provides fast,
reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in
your vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats are fitted with two
latches which are secured easily on the two
front rings.
Some also have an upper strap which is
attached to the rear ring.
To attach this strap, remove and stow the
head restraint before installing the child seat
at the seating position (refit it once the child
seat has been removed). Then fix the hook
on the rear ring and tighten the upper strap.
If fitted on your vehicle, the regulation
ISOFIX mountings are located by labels.
The incorrect installation of a child seat
in a vehicle compromises the child's
protection in the event of an accident.
For information on the possibilities for fitting
ISOFIX child seats to your vehicle, refer to
the summary table for the location of the
ISOFIX child seats.
