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

(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.

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

code number engraved on the top of

the anti-theft socket. This will enable
