The connection of an electrical device  not approved by CITROËN, such as a 
USB charger, may adversely affect the 
operation of vehicle electrical systems, 
causing faults such as poor radio reception or 
interference with displays in the screens.
Wireless smartphone 
charger
 
  
 
It allows wireless charging of a portable device 
such as a smartphone, using the magnetic 
induction principle, in accordance with the Qi 1.1 
standard.
The portable device to be charged must be 
compatible with the Qi standard, either by design 
or by using a compatible holder or shell.
The charging area is identified by the Qi symbol.
The charger works with the engine running and 
with the Stop & Start system in STOP mode.
Charging is managed by the smartphone.
With Keyless Entry and Starting, the charger’s 
operation may be briefly disrupted when a door 
is opened or the ignition is switched off.
Charging
► With the charging area clear , place a device in its centre. 
 
When the portable device is detected, the 
charger’s indicator lamp lights up green. It 
remains lit for the whole time that the battery is 
being charged.
The system is not designed to charge 
multiple devices simultaneously.
 
 
Do not leave any metal objects (coins, 
keys, vehicle remote control, etc.) in the 
charging area while a device is being 
charged, due to the risk of overheating or 
interrupting the charging process.
Operating check
The state of the indicator lamp allows the 
operation of the charger to be monitored.

Safety
Front airbags 
 
This system protects the driver and front 
passenger in the event of a serious front impact, 
in order to limit the risk of head and chest 
injuries.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the 
steering wheel; the front passenger airbag is 
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.
Deployment
They deploy, except the front passenger airbag 
if it is deactivated*, in the event of a serious front 
impact to all or part of the front impact zone A.
The front airbag inflates between the thorax and 
head of the front occupant of the vehicle and the 
steering wheel, driver's side, and the dashboard, 
passenger's side, to cushion their forward 
movement.
* For more information on Deactivating the front passenger airbag, refer to the corresponding section.
Lateral airbags 
 
In the event of a serious side impact, this system 
protects the driver and front passenger to 
mitigate the risk of injury to the chest between the hip and the shoulder.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest 
frame, door side.
Deployment
The lateral airbags are deployed on one side in 
the event of a serious side impact applied to all 
or part of the side impact zone B.
The lateral airbag inflates between the hip and 
shoulder of the vehicle's occupant and the 
corresponding door panel.
Curtain airbags
System contributing towards greater protection 
for the driver and passengers (with the exception 
of the rear centre passenger) in the event of a 
serious side impact in order to limit the risk of 
injury to the side of the head.
Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and 
the upper passenger compartment area.
Deployment
It deploys simultaneously with the corresponding 
lateral airbag in the event of a serious side 
impact applied to all or part of the side impact 
zone B.
The curtain airbag inflates between the front 
and rear occupants of the vehicle and the 
corresponding windows.
Malfunction
If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, you must contact a 
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop to have 
the system checked.
The airbags may no longer be deployed in the 
event of a serious impact.
In the event of a minor impact or bump at 
the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle 
rolls over, the airbags may not be deployed.
In the event of a rear or front collision, none of 
the lateral airbags are deployed.
Advice
For the airbags to be fully effective, 
observe the safety recommendations 
below.
Adopt a normal upright sitting position.
Fasten the seat belt ensuring it is correctly 
positioned and adjusted.
Do not leave anything between the occupants 
and the airbags (a child, pet, object, etc.), nor 
fix or attach anything close to or in the way of 
the airbag release trajectory; 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, have the airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag systems must only 
be performed 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 cannot be 
ruled out when an airbag is deployed. The 
airbag inflates almost instantly (within a few 
milliseconds) then deflates within the same 
time discharging the hot gas via openings 
provided for this purpose.

8Running out of fuel 
(Diesel)
With Diesel engines, the fuel system must be 
primed if you run out of fuel.
Before starting to prime the system, it is 
essential to put at least 5 litres of Diesel into the 
fuel tank.
For more information on Refuelling and 
on Misfuel prevention (Diesel), please 
refer to the corresponding section.
For non-BlueHDi versions, the fuel system 
components are located in the engine 
compartment, possibly under the removable 
cover.
For more information on the  Engine 
compartment, in particular the location 
of these components under the bonnet, 
please refer to the corresponding section.
BlueHDi engines
► Switch on the ignition (without starting the engine).► Wait around 1   minute and switch off the ignition.► Operate the starter motor to start the engine.If the engine does not start at the first attempt, 
do not keep trying, but restart the procedure.
Non-BlueHDi engines
► Open the bonnet and then, if necessary , unclip the cover to access the priming pump.► Operate the priming pump repeatedly until resistance is felt (resistance may be 
felt at the first press).
► Operate the starter motor to start the engine (if the engine does not start at the first attempt, 
wait around 15 seconds before trying again).
► If the engine does not start after a few attempts, operate the priming pump again, then 
the starter motor.
► Put the cover back in place and clip it in, then close the bonnet.

electrical system checked by a CITROËN dealer 
or a qualified workshop.
The fuse allocation tables and the 
corresponding diagrams are available 
from a CITROËN dealer or from a qualified
