In good or rainy weather, both day and   night,   the   front   foglamps   and   the  
r

ear   foglamp   are   prohibited.   In   these  
s

ituations,   the   power   of   their   beams  
m

ay   dazzle   other   drivers.   They   should  
o

nly   be   used   in   fog   or   snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your
responsibility
  to   switch   on   the   foglamps  
a

nd   dipped   beam   headlamps   manually  
a

s   the   sunshine   sensor   may   detect  
s

ufficient   light.
Do
  not   forget   to   switch   off   the   front  
f

oglamps   and   the   rear   foglamp   when  
t

hey   are   no   longer   necessary.Switching off the lamps when
the ignition is switched off
On switching off the ignition, all of the lamps   turn   off   immediately,   except   for  
d

ipped   beam   if   guide-me-home   lighting  
i

s   activated.
Switching on the lamps
after the ignition is
switched off
To reactivate the lighting control, rotate the   ring   to   the   "0"  position   -   lamps   off,  
t

hen   to   the   desired   position.
On
  opening   the   driver's   door   a  
t

emporary   audible   signal   warns   the  
d

river   that   the   lighting   is   on.
The
  lamps,   with   the   exception   of   the  
s

idelamps,   switch   off   automatically   after  
a

  maximum   duration   of   thirty   minutes   to  
p

revent   discharging   of   the   battery.

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
around
  the   airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen
  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
qualified
 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,   the   dashboard   or   the   passenger's  
s

un   visor   as   this   could   cause   injuries   with  
d

eployment   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
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  
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:

Access to the battery
Procedure for starting the engine using another battery or charging a discharged battery.
P rotect your eyes and face before
handling
  the   battery.
All
  operations   on   the   battery   must   be  
c

arried out in a well ventilated area and
away
  from   naked   flames   and   sources  
o

f   sparks,   so   as   to   avoid   the   risk   of  
e

xplosion   or   fire.

General points
Lead-acid starter batteries
Batteries contain harmful substances such   as   sulphuric   acid   and   lead.
They
  must   be   disposed   of   in  
a

ccordance   with   regulations   and   must  
n

ot,   in   any   circumstances,   be   discarded  
w

ith   household   waste.
Take
  used   remote   control   batteries   and  
v

ehicle batteries to a special collection
point.
With
  an   electronic   gearbox,   do   not   try   to  
s

tart   the   engine   by   pushing   the   vehicle.The
  (-)   battery   terminal   is   not   accessible.
A
  remote   earth   point   is   located   on   the   right-
hand
  front   wing.

Charging the battery using
a battery charger
For optimum service life of the battery, it is essential   to   maintain   an   adequate   state   of  
c

harge.
In
  some   circumstances   it   may   be   necessary   to  
c

harge   the   battery:
-

i
f you use your vehicle essentially for short
journeys,
-
 
i
f   the   vehicle   is   to   be   taken   off   the   road   for  
s

everal   weeks.
Contact
  a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
w

orkshop. It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery.
Never
  try   to   charge   a   frozen   battery.
If the battery has been frozen, have
it
  checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified   workshop,   who   will   check   that  
t

he   internal   components   have   not   been  
d

amaged   and   the   casing   is   not   cracked,  
w

hich   could   cause   a   leak   of   toxic   and  
c

orrosive   acid.
If
  you   envisage   charging   your   vehicle's  
b

attery   yourself,   use   only   a   charger  
c

ompatible   with   lead-acid   batteries   of   a  
n

ominal   voltage   of   12   V.
If this label is present, it is essential
to
  use   only   a   12   V   charger,   to   avoid  
c

ausing   irreversible   damage   to   the  
e

lectrical   components   related   to   the  
S

top   &   Start   system. Follow the instructions for use provided
by
  the   manufacturer   of   the   charger.
Never
  reverse   polarities.

QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
There is a difference in
sound
 
quality   between   the  
d

ifferent   audio   sources. For
  optimum   sound   quality,   the   audio   settings   for   Loudness,  
A

mbience,   Treble,   Bass,   Volume   can   be   adapted   to   the   different  
s

ound   sources,   which   may   result   in   audible   differences   when  
c

hanging
 s
ource. Check
  that   the   audio   settings   for   Loudness,  
A

mbience,   Treble,   Bass,   Volume)   are   adapted  
t

o   the   sources   listened   to.   Adjust   Balance,  
T

reble,   Bass   to   the   middle   position,   select   the  
"

None"   musical   ambience   and   set   the   loudness  
c

orrection   to   the   "Active"   position   in   CD   mode   or  
t

o   the   "Inactive"   position   in   radio   mode.
With
 
the   engine   off,   the  
s

ystem
 
switches   off   after   a  
f

ew
 
minutes   of   use. When
  the   engine   is   switched   off,   the   system's   operating   time  
d

epends   on   the   state   of   charge   of   the   battery.
The
  switch-off   is   normal:   the   system   switches   to   economy   mode   and  
s

witches   off   to   prevent   discharging   of   the   vehicle's   battery.Start
  the   vehicle's   engine   to   increase   the   battery
