DRIVING RECOMMENDATIONS
Observe the driving regulations and
remain vigilant whatever the traffic
conditions.
Pay
close attention to the traffic and
keep
your hands on the wheel so that
you are ready to react at any time to
any
eventuality.
As a safety precaution, the driver
must only carry out actions requiring
sustained attention when the vehicle is
stationary.
On
a long journey, a break every
two hours
is strongly recommended.
In
difficult weather, drive smoothly,
anticipate
the need to brake and
increase the distance from other
vehicles.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving
on flooded roads, as this could cause
serious damage to the engine or
gearbox, as well as to the electrical
systems
of your vehicle. If you are obliged to drive through
water:
-
check
that the depth of water does
not
exceed 15 cm, taking account
of waves that might be generated
by other users,
-
deactivate the Stop & Start system,
-
drive as slowly as possible without
stallin
g. In all cases, do not exceed 6
mph (10 km/h),
- do not stop and do not switch of f
the
engine.
On
leaving the flooded road, as soon
as
circumstances allow, make several
light
brake applications to dry the brake
discs
and pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
workshop.Never
drive with the parking brake
applied
- Risk of overheating and
damage
to the braking system!
Risk of fire!
As the exhaust system of your vehicle
is very hot, even several minutes
after switching off the engine, do not
park or leave the engine running over
areas
where inflammable substances
and
materials are present: grass,
leaves, etc.
Never leave a vehicle
unsupervised with the engine
running.
If you have to leave your vehicle with the engine running,
apply
the parking brake and put the
gearbox into neutral or position
N or P,
depending
on the type of gearbox.
Important!

The table below gives answers to the most frequently asked questions on your audio system.
Q UESTION ANSWER SOLUTION
With the engine off, the
audio system switches off
after
a few minutes of use.When the engine is switched off, the audio system operating time
depends
on the state of charge of the battery.
The
switch-off is normal: the audio equipment switches to economy
m
ode and switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's
battery. Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery
charge.
The message "the audio
system is overheated"
appears
on the display.In order to protect the installation if the surrounding temperature
is too high, the audio system switches to an automatic thermal
protection mode leading to a reduction in volume or CD play
stopping. Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to
allow
the system to cool.
Frequently asked questions
QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
There is a difference in
sound quality between the
different audio sources
(radio,
C
D...). For optimum sound quality, the audio settings (Volume, Bass,
Treble, Ambience, Loudness) can be adapted to the different sound
sources, which may result in audible differences when changing
source
(radio, CD...). Check
that the audio settings (Volume, Bass,
T
reble, Ambience, Loudness) are adapted to
the
sources listened to. It is advisable to set
t
he audio functions (Bass, Treble, Front-Rear
Balance, Left-Right Balance) to the middle
position, select the musical ambience "None"
and set the loudness correction to the "Active"
position in CD mode or to the "Inactive" position
in
radio mode.
