General safety

recommendations

Do not remove the labels attached in

different places on your vehicle. They

include safety warnings as well as

identification information for the vehicle.

For all work on your vehicle, use a

qualified workshop that has the technical

information, skills and equipment required, all

of which a CITROËN dealer is able to

provide.

Installing electrical accessories:

– The fitting of electrical equipment

or accessories not approved by CITROËN

may cause excessive current consumption

and failure of the vehicle's electrical system.

Contact a CITROËN dealer for information on

the range of approved accessories.

– As a safety measure, access to the

diagnostic socket, used for the vehicle's

electronic systems, is reserved strictly for

CITROËN dealers, equipped with the special

tools required (risk of malfunctions of the

vehicle's electronic systems that could cause

breakdowns or serious accidents). The

Manufacturer cannot be held responsible if

this advice is not followed.

– Any modification or adaptation not intended

or authorised by CITROËN or carried out

without meeting the technical requirements

defined by the Manufacturer will result in the

suspension of the commercial warranty.

Hazard warning lamps

► Pressing the red button causes all the

direction indicators to flash.

They can operate with the ignition off.

Horn

► Press the central part of the steering wheel.

Anti-lock Braking System

(ABS) and Electronic

Brake Force Distribution

(EBFD)

These systems enhance the vehicle’s stability

and handling during braking, and enable greater

control while cornering, particularly on poor or

slippery road surfaces.

ABS prevents wheel locking in the event of

emergency braking.

EBFD manages the braking pressure wheel by

wheel.

This warning lamp is continuously on in

the event of an ABS malfunction.

The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive

carefully at a moderate speed.

Contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.

This warning lamp, accompanied by an

audible signal, indicates an EBFD

malfunction.

You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.

Contact a CITROËN dealer.

The normal operation of the ABS may

result in slight vibrations in the brake

pedal.

When braking in an emergency, press

the brake pedal very firmly and

maintain this pressure.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

24

Safety

When changing wheels (tyres and rims),

ensure that these are approved by the

manufacturer for your vehicle.

After an impact, have these systems

checked by a CITROËN dealer.

Seat belts

Inertia reel

The seat belts are equipped with an inertia reel

which allows the strap length to automatically

adjust to your shape. The seat belt returns to its

storage automatically when it is not used.

The inertia reels are fitted with a device which

automatically locks the strap in the event of a

collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls

over. It can be released by pulling the strap firmly

and then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.

Force limiter

This system reduces the pressure of the seat

belt on the chest of the occupant, thus improving

their protection.

Front seat belts

The front driver seat belt is fitted with inertia reel

and a force limiting system.

The front passenger seat belt is equipped with

inertia reel.

Rear seat belts

The outer seats have a belt with inertia reel.

Before performing any operations on the

rear seats, to avoid damage to the seat

belts, check that:

– the outer seat belts are correctly in the

storage position, lying vertically along the

pillar,

– the central seat belt is stowed.

Fastening

► To fasten the seat belt, pull the webbing and

insert the tongue into the buckle.

► Check whether the seat belt is fastened

correctly by pulling the webbing.

If the driver or co-driver seat belt is not fastened

while the ignition is ON, the seat belt warning

lamp chimes and illuminates until the seat belt is

fastened.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

25

Safety

5

Unlocking

► To unfasten the seat belt, press the red

button written “PRESS” on the buckle.

► Allow the belt to retract and make sure the

webbing is not twisted.

Twisted webbing would not allow smooth

retraction of the belt.

Seat belt not fastened/

unfastened alerts

It comes on in red in the instrument panel

once the system detects that a seat belt is

not fastened or is unfastened.

Advice

The driver must ensure that passengers

use the seat belts correctly and that they

are all fastened before setting off.

Wherever seated in the vehicle, you must

always fasten the seat belt, even for short

journeys.

Do not interchange the seat belt buckles, as

they will not fulfil their role fully.

Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt

is reeled in correctly.

After folding or moving a seat or rear bench

seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned

and reeled in correctly.

While fastening the seat belt ensure that strap

must pass over your chest and top of your

shoulder and not touch your face, neck, side

of your shoulder or pass under your arm.

An accident or sudden stop could damage

the seat belt, please have your seat belts

inspected by authorized dealers after an

accident or sudden stop.

Do not use a damaged seat belt which would

result in serious injury.

Installation

The lower part of the strap must be

positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.

The upper part must be positioned on the

shoulder.

In order to be effective, a seat belt:

– must be tightened as close to the body as

possible;

– must be pulled in front of you with a smooth

movement, ensuring that it is not twisted;

– must only be used to secure one person;

– must not show signs of tearing or fraying;

– must not be changed or modified, in order

to avoid affecting its performance.

Do not wear your seat belt over hard or

breakable objects in your pockets or on your

clothing. If an accident occurs, objects such

as glasses, pens, etc. under the seat belt can

cause injury.

Recommendations for children

Use a suitable child seat if the passenger

is less than 12 years old or shorter than one

and a half metres.

Never use the same seat belt to secure more

than one child.

Never carry a child on your lap.

For more information on

Child seats

, refer to

the corresponding section.

Recommendations for pregnant

women

Pregnant women should use seat belts,

although specific recommendations about

driving should be made by the woman's

medical advisor. Remember that the lap

portion of the belt should be worn as low as

possible across the hips.

A pregnant woman should not wear the seat

belt across the stomach which would result in

serious injury to the fetus and/or the pregnant

mother.

Maintenance

In accordance with current safety

regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle's

seat belts, go to a qualified workshop with

the skills and equipment needed, which a

CITROËN dealer is able to provide.

Have the seat belts checked regularly by a

CITROËN dealer, particularly if the straps

show signs of damage.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Safety

Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or

a textile cleaning product, sold by CITROËN

dealers.

Airbags

General information

The airbags have been designed to optimise the

safety of the occupants in the event of a violent

collision.

The airbags are supplementary restraint systems

(SRS) that help cushion the impact force to the

head and chest during severe frontal collisions.

The SRS includes Airbags, Seatbelts, Airbag

ECU, Collision sensors and SRS warning lamp.

Electronic detectors record and analyse the front

impacts sustained in the impact detection zones:

– In the event of violent impact, the airbags

deploy instantly and help better protect the

occupants of the vehicle; immediately after the

impact, the airbags deflate rapidly in order not

to hinder the visibility or the possible exit of the

occupants.

– In the event of a slight impact, a rear impact

and under certain rollover conditions, the airbags

may not deploy; only the seat belt helps to

protect you in these situations.

During a frontal crash, children could be fatally

injured if they are sitting on driver’s lap/standing

very close to the dashboard, as the airbags exert

severe force levels during deployment.

The seriousness of the impact depends on the

nature of the obstacle and the speed of the

vehicle at the moment of collision.

The airbags do not operate when the

ignition is switched off.

This equipment will only deploy once. If a

second impact occurs (during the same or a

subsequent accident), the airbag will not be

deployed again.

When one or more airbags are deployed,

the detonation of the pyrotechnic charge

incorporated in the system makes a noise and

releases a small quantity of smoke.

This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive

individuals may experience slight irritation.

The detonation noise associated with the

deployment of one or more airbags may result

in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.

The airbags will deploy irrespective of

whether the seat belt is buckled or not. In

order to reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY

or DEATH, we recommend occupants to

always be buckled.

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

1. Frontal collision

Airbags may deploy during severe front

collision when the crash intensity is above

the threshold and the angle of impact is less

than or equal to 30 degrees with respect to

longitudinal axis of vehicle.

2. Collision with utility poles or trees

Airbags may deploy when the vehicle hits

pole or tree with sufficient intensity to trigger

the airbag. The crash intensity should be

above the threshold to inflate the airbag.

3. Underride collision

Airbags may deploy when the vehicle rides

under the trucks or vehicles with higher

ground clearance. The crash intensity should

be above the threshold to inflate the airbag.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

27

Safety

5

Non-inflation conditions

1. Low speed front collisions

The airbags may not deploy if the collision is

not severe and below the design threshold

intensity. The force of impact is less in this

case and much of the protection during low

speed crash is provided by seat belts, if

properly worn.

2. Rear collisions

Frontal airbags are not designed to deploy

when there is a rear crash, since the

occupants tend to move backwards. In this

case, the airbags will not provide any benefit

to cushion the force of impact.

3. Side collisions

Frontal airbags may not deploy during side

crash, since the occupant moves sideways.

4. Angled collisions

Airbags may not deploy if the angle of

collision is beyond 30 degrees with the

head-on vehicle or the rigid wall or curb or

pole.

5. Roll over collisions

Frontal airbags may not deploy in roll over

conditions, as the occupant moves sideways

or rolls. Important to wear seat belts in this

case, to avoid floating inside the vehicle and

risk serious injuries.

6. Speed breakers & pot holes

Airbags may not deploy when crossing speed

breakers even at high speed or when vehicle

drops into pot hole or ditch drop.

7. Curb hits

The airbag may not deploy when the vehicle

hits the curbs.

8. Pedestrian impact

Airbags will not inflate when the vehicle hits

the pedestrian.

Malfunction

If this warning lamp comes on in the

instrument panel, you must contact a

CITROËN dealer to have the system checked.

The airbags may not be deployed in the event of

a serious impact.

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.

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.

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, as this could cause

injuries when the airbags are deployed.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

28

Safety

Child seats

Warning label on the sun visor - Front

passenger airbag

NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint

on a seat protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG

in front of it, SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD

may occur.

Do not install a rear-facing child restraint

on the front passenger’s seat.

A child in a rear-facing child restraint

could be seriously harmed if the

passenger's front airbag inflates. The inflated

airbag would be too close to the back of a

rear-facing child restraint.

An incorrectly installed child seat

compromises the child's safety in the

event of an accident.

Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt

buckle under the child seat, as this could

destabilise it.

Remember to fasten the seat belts or the

harness of child seats, keeping the slack

relative to the child's body to a minimum,

even for short journeys.

When installing a child seat using the seat

belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened

correctly on the child seat and that it secures

the child seat firmly on the seat of the vehicle.

Ensure that the head restraint is stored or

attached securely to prevent it from being

thrown around the vehicle in the event of

sharp braking. Refit the head restraint once

the child seat has been removed.

Additional protections

To prevent accidental opening of the

doors and rear windows, use the "Child lock".

Take care not to open the rear windows by

more than one third.

To protect young children from the rays of the

sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.

As a safety precaution, do not leave:

– a child alone and unattended in a vehicle,

– a child or an animal in a vehicle which is

exposed to the sun, with the windows closed,

– the keys within reach of children inside the
vehicle.

Driving recommendations

► Observe the driving regulations and remain

vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.

► Monitor your environment and keep your

hands on the wheel to be able to react to

anything that may happen any time.

► Drive smoothly, anticipate the need for

braking and maintain a longer safety distance,

especially in bad weather.

► Stop the vehicle to carry out operations that

require close attention (such as adjustments).

► During long trips, take a break every two

hours.

Important!

Never leave the engine running in a

closed space without sufficient

ventilation.

Internal combustion engines emit

toxic exhaust gases such as carbon

monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death!

In severe wintry conditions, let the engine

run for 4 minutes before moving off, to

ensure the correct operation and durability of

the mechanical components of your vehicle

(engine and gearbox).

Never drive with the parking brake

applied

. Risk of overheating and

damage to the braking system!

Do not park the vehicle or leave the

engine running on a flammable

surface (dry grass, dead leaves, etc.).

The

exhaust system of your vehicle is very hot,

even several minutes after the engine stops.

Risk of fire!

Never leave a vehicle unattended 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.

Never leave children inside the vehicle

unsupervised

.

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 have to drive on a flooded road:

► drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In

all cases, do not exceed 10 km/h,

► do not stop and do not switch off the engine.

On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety

conditions allow, make several light brake

applications to dry the brake discs and pads.

If in doubt about the state of your vehicle,

contact a CITROËN dealer.

It allows the use of the vehicle's electric

equipment or portable devices to be charged.

Starting the engine

With the parking brake applied:

► Place the gear lever in neutral then fully

depress the clutch pedal.

► Insert the key into the ignition switch; the

system recognises the code.

► Unlock the steering column by simultaneously

turning the steering wheel and the key.

In certain cases, you may have to apply

significant force to move the steering

wheel (wheels on full lock, for example).

► Operate the starter motor by turning the key

to position

3

without pressing the accelerator

pedal, until the engine starts. Once the engine

starts, release the key.

After a cold start, preheating the catalytic

converter can cause noticeable engine

vibrations for anything up to 2 minutes while

stationary with the engine running

(accelerated idle speed).

If the engine does not start straight away,

switch off the ignition. Wait a few

seconds before operating the starter motor

again. If the engine does not start after a few

attempts, do not keep trying - risk of

damaging the starter motor, the battery and

the engine.

Contact a CITROËN dealer.

In mild conditions, do not leave the

engine at idle to warm up but move off

straight away and drive at moderate speed.

5-speed manual gearbox

Engaging reverse gear

► Fully depress the clutch pedal.

► Push the gear lever fully to the right, then

Gear efficiency indicator

This system helps reduce fuel consumption by

recommending the most appropriate gear.

Operation

The system advises to change gear.

The information appears in the instrument

panel in the form of an ascending or

descending arrow.

The number displayed is the current gear.

Gear shift recommendations should not be

considered compulsory. In fact, the road layout,

the traffic density and safety remain the deciding

factors when choosing the best gear. The driver

therefore remains responsible for deciding

whether or not to follow the indications issued by

the system.

This function cannot be deactivated.

The system adapts its gear shift

recommendation according to the driving

conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the driver’s

requirements (power, acceleration, braking,

etc.).

The system never suggests:

– engaging first gear;

– engaging reverse.

Overspeed alert

An audible overspeed alert is triggered when the

vehicle exceeds predefined speed thresholds.

When the vehicle speed is greater than 80 km/h,

the alert is emitted every 2 minutes.

When the vehicle speed is greater than 120

km/h, the alert is emitted every 2 seconds.

This system cannot be modified nor

deactivated.

Parking sensors

Using sensors located in the bumper, this

system signals the proximity of obstacles

(e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) present in

their field of detection.

Rear parking sensors

The system is switched on by engaging reverse

gear.

The system is switched off when disengaging

reverse gear.

Audible assistance

The system signals the presence of obstacles

within the sensors’ detection zone.

The proximity information is given by an

intermittent audible signal, the frequency of

which increases as the vehicle approaches the

obstacle.

When the distance between the vehicle

and the obstacle becomes less than about

60 centimetres, the audible signal becomes

continuous.

Operating limits

If the boot is heavily loaded, the vehicle may tilt,

affecting distance measurements.
