Recommendations on care of your vehicle
The general recommendations on the care of your vehicle are given in the maintenance and warranty guide.
Fabric roof
To avoid damaging the roof.
- n ever use a high pressure jet wash,
-
n
ever wash your vehicle in an
a
utomatic roller-brush car wash.Remove
bird droppings or tree resins as
t
heir acidity may damage the roof.Never
use chemical products,
d
etergents, stain removers, solvents,
a
lcohol, petrol, ... to clean the roof.
We recommend that you clean the
a
ero-acoustic defector with care
using
a
soft brush.
Before
washing the fabric roof, first
r
emove as much dirt as possible from
t
he sur face using a soft brush or a
v
acuum cleaner.
To waterproof the roof, use only special
waterproofing products for fabric roofs.
To
remove marks, sponge them
(but never rub them) using soapy water,
t
hen immediately rinse with clean water.
Allow the vehicle to dry in a shaded
a
rea and avoid direct exposure to
t
he sun. For
the regular maintenance of the
f
abric roof and to conserve its original
a
ppearance, we recommend an
e
cological "Fly remover - Fabric roof
c
leaner" from the "TECHNATURE"
r
ange. To obtain this product go to a
C
ITROËN dealer.

Never leave accumulations of snow or any object projecting above the bonnet
o
r in front of the roof: this might fall into
t
he field of vision of the sensor and
g
enerate a detection.
Operating limits
The system o nly d etects v ehicles (cars, lorries) t
hat are stationary or moving in the same
d
irection as your vehicle. In
difficult weather conditions (very
h
eavy rain, snow, fog, hail...), braking
d
istances increase, which can reduce
t
he ability of the system to avoid a
c
ollision.
The
driver must therefore remain
par
ticularly
v
igilant.
The
system is not triggered or is interrupted if
t
he
d
river:
-
a
ccelerates strongly (even if the speed
l
imiter is on),
-
o
r turns the steering wheel suddenly
(
avoiding
m
anoeuvre).
Detection
capability is less effective if:
-
y
ou are driving on roads with pronounced
b
ends and/or on roads in poor condition,
-
y
our vehicle is excessively loaded, as
t
his changes the horizontal attitude of the
v
ehicle.
-
y
our vehicle skids.
It
does not detect small vehicles
(
bicycles, motorcycles), pedestrians or
a
nimals, nor non-reflective stationary
ob
jects.Unwanted triggering of the system
It is possible for the system to detect a risk of imminent collision and start working, in the
fo
llowing
c
onditions
in par
ticular:
-
d
etection of an object located close to the
e
dge of the road entering a corner (safety
b
arrier, lamp post or road sign),
-
d
etection of a structure located at the top
o
r bottom of a steep slope (advertising
h
oarding, steet lighting),
-
d
etection of reflective objects (central
r
eservation...) in the road,
-
d
etection of the upper bar of a bridge or a
t
raffic light gantry,
-
p
assing a vehicle travelling in the other
d
irection in a corner,
-
p
assing a vehicle traveling in the other
d
irection, at a crossroads, when your
v
ehicle is turning left or right,
-
i
f the vehicle ahead of you sends up water
o
r snow,
-
i
f your vehicle stops very close to an
ov
erhanging wall or other vehicles,
-
w
hen your vehicle closes rapidly on the
v
ehicle
a
head,
-
i
f the vehicle is raised or lowered,
-
i
f the vehicle passes through a plastic
c
urtain,
-
i
f driving through mist or smoke,
-
i
f the sensor is misaligned (following
r
eplacement after a collision).

Sit in a normal upright position.
W ear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do
not leave anything between the
o
ccupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
o
bject...), nor fix or attach anything close to
t
he inflation trajectory of the airbags; this
c
ould cause injuries during their deployment.
Never
modify the original definition of your
v
ehicle, particularly in the area directly
a
round the airbags.
After
an accident or if the vehicle has been
s
tolen or broken into, have the airbag
s
ystems checked.
All
work on the airbag system must be
c
arried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified
w
orkshop.
Even
if all of the precautions mentioned
a
re observed, a risk of injury or of minor
b
urns to the head, chest or arms when an
a
irbag is deployed cannot be ruled out. The
b
ag inflates almost instantly (within a few
m
illiseconds) then deflates within the same
t
ime discharging the hot gas via openings
p
rovided for this purpose.Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on the centre
p
art of the wheel.
Passengers
must not place their feet on the
das
hboard.
Do
not smoke as deployment of the airbags
c
an cause burns or the risk of injury from a
c
igarette or pipe.
Never
remove
or
pierce
the
steering
wheel
or
h
it it violently.
Do
not fit or attach anything to the steering
w
heel or dashboard, this could cause
i
njuries with deployment of the airbags.
Advice
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats, compatible with the deployment the lateral
a
irbags. For information on the range of seat
c
overs suitable for your vehicle, you can
contact
a CITROËN dealer.
For
more information on accessories, refer
t
o the corresponding section.
Do
not fix or attach anything to the seat
b
acks (clothing...). This could cause injury
t
o the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is
d
eployed.
Do
not sit with the upper part of the body any
n
earer 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
a
irbag is deployed.
If
fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the
g
rab handles installed on the roof, they play
a
part in securing the curtain airbags.
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the safety recommendations below:
