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.
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!
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.
►ꢀ Stop the vehicle to carry out operations that
require close attention (such as adjustments).
►ꢀ During long trips, take a break every two
hours.
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.
Important!
Never leave children inside the
vehicle unsupervised.
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!

We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the engine and gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.
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).
