HAZARD WARNING LAMPS
H
ORN
Press the centre of the steering wheel.
PARKING BRAKE
Applying
Pull the parking brake lever up to immobilise
your vehicle.
Check
that the parking brake is applied
firmly
before leaving the vehicle.Pull
on the parking brake lever, only
with the vehicle stationary.
In the exceptional case of use of the
parking
brake when the vehicle is
moving,
apply the brake by pulling
gently
to avoid locking the rear wheels
(risk
of skidding).
Press this button, the direction
indicators
flash.
They
can
operate
with
the
ignition
off.
The hazard warning lamps should only
be used in dangerous situations, when
stopping in an emergency or when
driving
in
unusual
conditions.
When
parking on a slope, direct your
wheels towards the pavement and pull
the
parking brake lever up.
There is no advantage in engaging
a
gear after parking the vehicle,
particularly
if the vehicle is loaded.
If the parking brake is still on or has not been released properly, this is
indicated by this warning lamp which
comes
on in the instrument panel.
Automatic operation of hazard
warning lamps
When braking in an emergency, depending on the force of deceleration,
the hazard warning lamps come
on automatically.
They
switch off
automatically
the first time you
accelerate.
It is also possible to switch them of
f by
pressing
the switch on the dashboard.Releasing
Pull the lever up slightly and press the
button to lower the parking brake lever.

Driving safely
Operation
When your vehicle is too close to or
approaches the vehicle ahead too
quickly the system automatically
applies
the brakes to avoid a collision.
You are then alerted by the display of a
message.
The
brake lamps on your vehicle come
on
to warn other road users.
The collision can be avoided
automatically if the difference in
speed
between your vehicle and the
vehicle ahead does not exceed 9 mph
(15
km/h).
Above this threshold, the system will
do what is possible to avoid or reduce
the accident by lowering the speed of
impact.
The
automatic braking may bring
the vehicle to a complete stop if the
situation
requires it.
In this case, the vehicle is held
stationary temporarily (for about
1.5 seconds)
to allow the driver to take
back
control by pressing the brake
pedal. The triggering of the system may
cause the engine to stall, unless
the driver depresses the clutch
pedal
quickly enough during automatic
braking.
During
automatic braking, the
driver can always obtain a higher
rate of deceleration than that
controlled by the system, by pressing
firmly
on the brake pedal.
After an impact, the system is
automatically
put out of service: it
no
longer operates.
You must go to a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
workshop to have the system
made
operational again.
Operating limits
The system only detects vehicles that
are stationary or moving in the same
direction as your vehicle.
It does not detect small vehicles
(bicycles, motorcycles),
pedestrians or animals, nor non-
reflective
stationary objects.
The system is not triggered or is
interrupted
if the driver:
-
accelerates strongly
-
or turns the steering wheel
suddenly
(avoiding manoeuvre).
In
difficult weather conditions (very
heavy
rain, snow, fog, hail...),
braking
distances increase, which
can reduce the ability of the system to
avoid
a collision.
The driver must therefore remain
particularly
vigilant.
Never leave accumulations of
snow
or any object projecting
above the bonnet or in front of
the
roof: this might fall into the field of
vision of the sensor and generate a
detection.

Advice
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear
a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not allow anything to come between
the occupants and the airbags
(a
child, pet, object...), do not attach or
fix
anything near to the airbags or their
trajectories
when inflating as this could
cause
injuries when the airbags are
deployed.
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.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
.
For more information on accessories,
refer to "Other accessories" in
section 6.
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.
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
rearward
facing.

Front airbags
Deployment
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. Deactivating the passengers front
airbag
Only the passenger's front airbag can
be
deactivated.
-
W
ith the ignition switched off,
insert the key into the passenger's front
airbag deactivation switch.
- T urn it to the "OFF" position.
-
Remove
the key keeping the switch
in
the new position.
The passenger's front airbag
warning lamp in the instrument
panel remains on while the
airbag
is deactivated.If the two airbag warning lamps
are on continuously, do not install
a rearward facing child seat and
contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
workshop.
Front airbag fault
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
deployed.Reactivation
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 passenger's front airbag switch
to the "ON" position to reactivate the
airbag and thus 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, consult a
CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
The
front airbags are fitted in the
centre of the steering wheel for the
driver and in the dashboard for the
front
passenger.

Cooling system
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
the
MIN and MAX marks. In
order to regenerate the filter, you are advised to drive at a speed higher
than
40 mph (60 km/h) for at least five minutes as soon as possible, when
traffic
conditions permit (until the
message disappears and the service
warning
lamp goes off).
During regeneration of the particle
emission
filter, the noise of a relay
operating may be heard under the
dashboard.
If the message is still displayed and
if the service warning lamp remains
on, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
workshop.
Topping up
The level must be between the MIN
and
MAX
marks
on
the
expansion
bottle.
If
more
than
1
litre
of
fluid
is
required to top up the level, have the
system
checked
by
a
CITROËN
dealer
or
a
qualified
workshop.
Screenwash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you use
products of the CITROËN range.
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing,
this fluid must not be topped
up
or replaced with plain water.
Capacity
of the screenwash reservoir:
approximately
3 litres.
Diesel additive level
(Diesel with particle
filter)
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop
without delay.
Waste products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake
fluid is harmful to health and
very
corrosive.
Do
not dispose of used oil, brake fluid
or coolant into drains or into the ground
but into the containers dedicated to this
use at a CITROËN dealer (France) or
an
authorised waste disposal site.
The minimum level of this additive
is indicated by lighting of the service
warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
screen.
When this occurs with the engine
running it is due to the start of
saturation
of
the
particle
filter
(exceptionally prolonged urban type
driving
conditions:
low
speed,
long
traffic
jams,
...).
