Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place
the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot,
as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,
bicycle carrier, trailer, etc.). Use a roof box in
preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and
refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold,
referring to the label in the door aperture,
driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use. Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment
filter, etc.) and obser ve the schedule of
operations in the manufacturer's service
schedule. Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan.
With a BlueHDi diesel engine, if the SCR
system is faulty, your vehicle becomes
polluting. Visit a CITROËN or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible to bring your
vehicle’s nitrogen oxide emissions back in line
with regulations.
When filling the tank, do not continue after the
3
rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the first 1,800
miles (3,000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a consistent average.

Adjusting the height of the
head restraint
The head restraint has a frame with
notches which prevents it from lowering;
this is a safety device in case of impact.
The adjustment is correct when the
upper edge of the head restraint is
level with the top of the head.
Never drive with the head restraints
removed; they must be fitted and correctly
adjusted.
Heated seat controlProlonged use is not recommended for
those with sensitive skin.
There is a risk of burns for people whose
perception of heat is impaired (illness,
taking medication, etc.).
There is a risk of overheating of the
system if material with insulating
properties is used, such as cushions or
seat covers.
Do not use the system:
-
i

Advice
For the airbags to be fully effective,
observe the safety recommendations
below.
Adopt a normal and upright sitting position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
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 layout 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 system must be carried
out by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are
obser ved, 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 fix or attach anything to the steering
wheel or dashboard, this could cause injuries
in case of airbag deployment.
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.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment of the lateral
airbags. For information on the variety of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, contact a
CITROËN dealer.
Do not attach anything to or hang anything
from the seat backrests (clothes, etc.) as this
could cause injuries to the thorax or arm if the
lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary.
The vehicle's front door panels include side
impact sensors.

enough room for the child seat and the
child's legs.
