Precautions in use
In wintry conditions
In the event of an accumulation of snow 
on the tailgate, clear the snow before 
commanding a motorised opening of 
the tailgate.
The formation of ice can block the 
tailgate and prevent its opening: wait 
until the ice melts with the heating of 
the passenger compartment.
When washing the vehicle
When washing the vehicle in an 
automatic car wash, don't forget to 
lock your vehicle to avoid the risk of 
unexpected opening.

Ease of use and comfort  

241
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the 
occupants and the airbags (a child, pet, 
object...), nor fix or attach anything close to 
the inflation trajectory of the airbags; this 
could cause injuries during their deployment.
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.
Advice
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.
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.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This 
could cause injury to the head if the curtain 
airbag is deployed.
If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the 
grab 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:
The vehicle's front door panels include side 
impact sensors.
A damaged door or any unauthorised or 
incorrectly executed work (modification or 
repair) on the front doors or their interior trim 
could compromise the operation of these 
sensors - Risk of malfunction of the lateral 
airbags!
Such work must only be done by a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Access to the battery
Procedure for starting the engine using another battery or charging a discharged battery.
Protect your eyes and face before 
handling the battery.
All operations on the battery must be 
carried out in a well ventilated area and 
away from naked flames and sources 
of sparks, so as to avoid the risk of 
explosion or fire.
Wash your hands after wards.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are 
fitted with a 12 V lead-acid battery of 
specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out 
only by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Batteries contain harmful substances 
such as sulphuric acid and lead.
They must be disposed of in 
accordance with regulations and must 
not, in any circumstances, be discarded 
with household waste.
Take used remote control batteries and 
vehicle batteries to a special collection 
point.
General points
Lead-acid starter batteries
If your vehicle has an automatic 
gearbox, do not try to start the engine 
by pushing the vehicle.
The (-) battery terminal is not accessible.
A remote earth point is located in the upper 
section under the bonnet (alongside the 
battery).

Never try to charge a frozen battery.
If the battery has been frozen, have 
it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop, who will check that 
the internal components have not been 
damaged and the casing is not cracked, 
which could cause a leak of toxic and 
corrosive acid.

F
 
A
t the end of the charging operation, switch 
off the charger B before disconnecting the 
cables from the battery A .
It is not necessary to disconnect the 
battery.
If you envisage charging your vehicle's 
battery yourself, use only a charger 
compatible with lead-acid batteries of a 
nominal voltage of 12 V. Follow the instructions for use provided 
by the manufacturer of the charger.
Never reverse polarities.
Charging the battery using a battery charger
If this label is present, it is essential 
to use only a 12 V charger, to avoid 
causing irreversible damage to the 
electrical components related to the 
Stop & Start system.
For optimum service life of the battery, it is 
essential to maintain an adequate state of 
charge.
In some circumstances it may be necessary to 
charge the battery:
-
 
i
f you use your vehicle essentially for short 
journeys,
-
 
i
f the vehicle is to be taken off the road for 
several weeks.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
