A few driving recommendations  
Observe the driving regulations at all times and remain vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.  
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your hands on the wheel so that you are ready to react at  
any time to any eventuality.  
Important!  
Never drive with the parking brake  
On a long journey, a break every two hours is strongly recommended.  
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate the need to brake and increase the distance from  
other vehicles.  
applied - Risk of overheating and  
damage to the braking system!  
Do not park or run the engine when  
stationary in areas where inflammable  
substances and materials (dry grass,  
dead leaves...) might come into contact  
with the hot exhaust system - Risk of  
fire!  
driving 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.  
-
check that the depth of water does not  
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves  
that might be generated by other users,  
deactivate the Stop & Start system,  
drive as slowly as possible without  
stalling. In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph  
(10 km/h),  
-
-
If you are obliged to drive through water:  
-
do not stop and do not switch off the  
engine.  
Never leave a vehicle unsupervised  
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 or  
position n or P, depending on the type  
of gearbox.  
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as  
circumstances allow, make several light brake  
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.  
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact  
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
