HANDBRAKE
Illumination of this warning
light and of the STOP warn-
ing light, accompanied by
an audible signal (while the
vehicle is moving), indicates that the
handbrake is still applied or has not
been released fully.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING
SYSTEM (ABS) AND THE
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE
DISTRIBUTION (EBFD)
The ABS, in conjunction with the
electronic brake force distribution,
increases the stability and manoeu-
vrability of your vehicle on braking,
in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
Note: when changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that these are
approved.
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.
When this warning light comes
on, connected to the
STOP
and
ABS warning lights, it
indicates that there is a mal-
function of the electronic brake force
distribution, which can cause a loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.
Stop immediately.
In both cases, consult a CITROËN
dealer.
When this warning light
comes on, accompanied by a
buzzer, it indicates that there
is a malfunction of the ABS,
which can cause a loss of control of
the vehicle when braking.
Normal operation of the ABS may
make itself felt by slight vibrations
of the brake pedal.
In emergency braking, press
very fi rmly without releasing the
pressure.
Releasing
Pull the handle and press the button
to release the handbrake.
Applying
When parking, pull the handbrake to
immobilise your vehicle.

- when the limiter cannot prevent
an increase in the vehicle speed
due to the profi le of the road or on
a steep descent,
-
in the event of sharp acceleration.
In any event, the speed limiter can-
not replace the need to observe
speed limits, nor can it replace the
need for vigilance and responsibil-
ity on the part of the driver.

FRONT AIRBAGS
These are folded in the centre of the
steering wheel for the driver and in
the fascia for the front passenger.
They are deployed simultaneously,
except in cases where the passen-
ger airbag is disarmed, in the event
of a serious front impact applied in
the impact zone A in the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle, on a hori-
zontal plane and from the front of the
vehicle towards the rear. The airbag
infl ates between the front occupant of
the vehicle and the fascia to cushion
his forward movement. The airbags
therefore limit the risk of injury to the
head and chest.
The airbags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
in the event of serious collisions. They
work in conjunction with the force-lim-
iting seat belts. The electronic detec-
tors register and analyse any abrupt
deceleration of the vehicle in the im-
pact detection zones (see diagram):
if the triggering threshold is reached,
the airbags infl ate instantly and pro-
tect the occupants of the vehicle.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
Immediately after the impact, the
airbags defl ate rapidly so that they
do not hinder the visibility of the oc-
cupants nor their exit if necessary
from the vehicle.
The airbags are not deployed in the
case of minor impacts, rear impacts
or in certain roll-over conditions. The
seat belt is suffi cient to ensure maxi-
mum protection in these situations.
The seriousness of a collision de-
pends on the nature of the obstacle
and the speed of the vehicle at the
moment of the collision.
Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
Note : the gas escaping from
the airbags can be a minor
irritant.

DRIVING
70 -
If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal, contact a CITROËN
dealer to have the system
checked. The airbags may
no longer be triggered in the event of
a serious impact.
Front airbag malfunction
Disarming the passenger
airbag
To ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to disarm the pas-
senger airbag when you install a
rear-facing child seat on the front
passenger seat. Otherwise, the
child would risk being killed or se-
riously injured if the airbag were
to infl ate.
) With the ignition switched off ,
insert the key into the passenger
airbag disarming switch 1 , turn it
to the
"OFF" position, then re-
move the key keeping the slot in
this position.
The airbag warning light on
the instrument panel is lit
throughout the period of dis-
arming.
In the
"OFF" position, the passen-
ger airbag will not be triggered in the
event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the airbag slot to the "ON" posi-
tion to re-activate the airbag and thus
ensure the safety of your passenger
in the event of an impact.
This is confi rmed by an indi-
cator light, accompanied by
a message on the display.
With the ignition on
(2nd
notch), illumination of this
warning light indicates that the pas-
senger airbag is disarmed (switch in
the "OFF" position).
If the two airbag warning
lights are lit continuously, do
not install a rear-facing child
seat. Consult a CITROËN
dealer.

SIDE AIRBAGS *
If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal, contact a CITROËN
dealer to have the system
checked. The airbags may
no longer be triggered in the event of
a serious impact.
Airbags malfunction
For the front and lateral
airbags to be fully effec-
tive, observe the following
safety rules:
● Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
● Sit in a normal upright position.
● Do not leave anything between
the occupants and the airbags
(child, animal, object, ...).
This could hamper the operation
of the airbags or injure the occu-
pants.
● All work on the airbag systems
is strictly prohibited unless it is
carried out by trained staff of the
CITROËN network.
● After an accident or if the ve-
hicle has been stolen or broken
into, have the airbag systems
checked.
Front airbags
● Do not drive holding the steer-
ing wheel by its spokes or resting
your hands on the centre part of
the wheel.
● Passengers must not place their
feet on the dashboard.
● Smoke as little as possible; de-
ployment 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.
Lateral airbags *
● Only put approved covers on the
front seats. Consult a CITROËN
dealer.
● Do
not
fi x or attach anything to
the front seat backs. This could
cause injury to the chest or arms
when the lateral airbag infl ates.
● Do not sit with the upper part of
the body any nearer to the door
than necessary.
The side airbags are incorporated
into the front seat backs on the door
side.
The triggering of these airbags re-
quires a serious side impact applied
in the side impact zone B , perpen-
dicular to the longitudinal centreline
of the vehicle, on a horizontal plane
and from the outside of the vehicle
towards the inside. The side airbag
infl ates between the front occupant
of the vehicle and the door trim pad.
It therefore limits the risk of injury to
the chest.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION -
CHECKING LEVELS
Dipstick
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer's require-
ments.
Note: the coolant does not need to
be changed.
For vehicles equipped with a par-
ticle fi lter, the engine fan may op-
erate after the ignition has been
switched off, even when the engine
is cold.
There are two marks
on the dipstick:
A = maximum
Never fi ll past this
mark.
B = minimum
To maintain the reli-
ability of engines and
emission control sys-
tems, the use of ad-
ditives in engine oil is
prohibited.
Brake fluid level
The brake fl uid must be changed ac-
cording to the manufacturer's servic-
ing schedule.
Use fl
uids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfi l DOT4
standards.
Cooling system
Use the fl uid recommended by the
manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can op-
erate with the ignition key removed
and because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by two turns to re-
lease the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.
Power steering reservoir
) Open the reservoir, with the en-
gine at ambient temperature. The
level should always be above the
MIN. mark and close to the MAX.
mark.
Windscreen and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for
your safety, we would advise that
you use products recommended by
CITROËN.
For optimum cleaning and to prevent
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped
up or replaced with water.
Used products
Avoid products such as used oil and
brake fl uid coming into prolonged
contact with the skin.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fl uid or
coolant into drains or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the containers pro-
vided for this purpose in the CITROËN
dealer network (France) or to an author-
ised waste disposal site.
Oil level
It is normal to top up the engine oil
between services. CITROËN rec-
ommends that you check the oil
level, and top up if necessary, every
3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the oil level gauge
on the instrument panel or the dip-
stick.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION

CHECKS
Oil filter
Change the fi lter regularly, in accord-
ance with the servicing schedule.
Only use products recom-
mended by CITROËN or
products of equivalent quality
and specifi cations.
To ensure best performance from
components as important as the
power steering and the braking sys-
tem, CITROËN selects and offers
quite specifi c products.
To prevent damage to the electrical
units, avoid washing the engine.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
(DIESEL)
If you should run out of fuel, it is nec-
essary to re-prime the circuit:
-
fi ll the fuel tank with at least fi ve litres
of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual
re-priming pump, under the bonnet
under the protective cover, until fuel
appears in the transparent pipe,
- operate the starter until the engine
starts.
FUEL SUPPLY CUT-OFF
(PETROL)
In a serious collision, a mechanism prevents
fuel from reaching the engine.
To re-establish the fuel supply, press
the switch on the corner of the front
right-hand suspension assembly, under
the bonnet.
Air filter and passenger
compartment filter
Have the fi lter elements replaced regu-
larly. If you drive in dusty conditions,
change them twice as often.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style
of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances.
It may be necessary to check the
thickness of the pads, even between
services.
Disc and drum wear status
For any information relating to check-
ing the disc and drum wear status,
contact a CITROËN dealer.
Manual gearbox
This does not require an oil change.
Check the level in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
To check the main levels and cer-
tain components, in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing
schedule, refer to the pages of
the servicing booklet which corre-
spond to your vehicle's engine.
Handbrake
Where the handbrake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the
handbrake should be adjusted, even
between services.
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a CITROËN dealer.
