General safety recommendations

Labels are applied at various
points on your vehicle. They carry
safety warnings as well as vehicle
identification information. Do not
remove them: they form an integral part
of your vehicle.

For any work on your vehicle, use
a qualified workshop that has the
technical information, skills and
equipment required, all of which a
CITROËN dealer is able to provide.

We draw your attention to the following points:

- The fitting of electrical equipment or accessories not listed by CITROËN may cause

excessive current consumption and faults and failures with the electrical system of
your vehicle. Contact a CITROËN dealer for information on the range of recommended
accessories.

- As a safety measure, access to the diagnostic socket, used for the vehicle's electronic

systems, is reserved strictly for CITROËN dealers or qualified workshops, equipped
with the special tools required (risk of malfunctions of the vehicle's electronic systems
that could cause breakdowns or serious accidents). The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible if this advice is not followed.

- Any modification or adaptation not intended or authorised by Automobiles CITROËN

or carried out without meeting the technical requirements defined by the manufacturer
would lead to the suspension of the legal and contractual warranties.

Installation of accessory radio communication transmitters

Before installing a radio communication transmitter, you must contact a CITROËN dealer
for the specification of transmitters which can be fitted (frequency, maximum power,
aerial position, specific installation requirements), in line with the Vehicle Electromagnetic
Compatibility Directive (2004/104/EC).

Depending on the legislation in force in the country, certain safety equipment may be
compulsory: high visibility safety vests, warning triangles, breathalysers, spare bulbs, spare
fuses, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, mud flaps at the rear of the vehicle...

services**. In countries where the service is not
operational, or if the locating service has been
expressly declined, the call is directed straight
to the emergency services (112) without
location.

If an impact is detected by the airbag
control unit, and independently of
the deployment of any airbags, an
emergency call is made automatically.
