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 air bag malfunction
Disarming the passenger air
bag
To ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to disarm the pas-
senger air bag 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 air bag were
to infl ate.
With the ignition switched off ,
insert the key into the passenger
air bag disarming switch 1 , turn
it to the "OFF" position, then re-
move the key keeping the slot in
this position.
The air bag warning light on
the instrument panel is lit
throughout the period of dis-
arming.
In the "OFF" position, the passen-
ger air bag will not be triggered in the
event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the air bag slot to the "ON" po-
sition to re-activate the air bag and
thus ensure the safety of your pas-
senger 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 warn-
ing light indicates that the passenger
air bag is disarmed (switch in the
"OFF" position).
If the two air bag 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 side airbags
to be fully effective, 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 air bag systems is
strictly prohibited unless it is car-
ried out by qualifi ed personnel of
the CITROËN network.
After an accident or if the vehi-
cle has been stolen or broken
into, have the air bag 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 fascia.
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.
Side airbags *
Only put approved covers on the
front seats. Consult a CITROËN
dealer.
Do not fi x or glue anything to
the front seat backs. This could
cause injury to the chest or arms
when the side air bag 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 air bag
infl ates between the front occupant
of the vehicle and the door trim pad.
It therefore limits the risk of injury to
the chest.

CHECKING THE LEVELS
Dipstick
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.
Note:
avoid used oil coming into
prolonged contact with the skin.
Empty the used oil into the contain-
ers intended for this purpose in the
CITROËN network.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet
the manufacturer's requirements.
Note: the coolant does not need to
be changed.
For vehicles equipped with a parti-
cle fi lter, the engine fan may operate
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 reliability
of engines and emission
control systems, the use
of additives in engine oil
is prohibited.
Brake fluid level:
The brake fl uid must be changed
according to the manufacturer's
servicing schedule.
Use fl uids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfi l DOT4 stan-
dards.
Note:
brake fl uid is harmful to health
and very corrosive. Avoid all contact
with the skin.
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.
Used oil
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fl uid or
coolant into drains or onto the ground.
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.
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top
up between changes. The maxi-
mum consumption is 0.5 l per
600 miles (1 000 km).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the oil level gauge
on the instrument panel or the dipstick.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION
86 -
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 en-
gine.
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.

SPECIAL FEATURES
OF ALLOY WHEELS
Fitting the spare wheel
If your vehicle is equipped with a
steel spare wheel, when fi tting it, it is
normal to notice that the bolt wash-
ers do not come into contact with the
rim. The spare wheel is secured by
the cone-shape of each bolt.
Fitting snow tyres
If you fi t snow tyres that are mounted
on steel rims onto your vehicle, it is
essential
that you use special bolts
available from your CITROËN dealer.
* According to model and country.
ANTI-THEFT BOLT *
If your wheels are fi tted with an anti-
theft bolt (one per wheel), it must be
unscrewed using an anti-theft socket
(which was given to you on delivery
of your vehicle along with the dupli-
cate keys and the confi dential card)
and the wheelbrace.
Note:
make a careful note of the
