[. . . ] CITROËN C4 Handbook a partnership of expertise For 39 years, the research teams of CITROëN and TOTAL have combined their know-how to offer you the best engine/lubricant combination available. With TOTAL, you can be sure to have chosen the benchmark oil that best guarantees your CITROëN's performance and life-expectancy. a partnership for the environment TOTAL oils support CITROëN's advances in fuel economy, and C02 and harmful emission reductions. The development of new generation oils specially adapted for Particle Filters, like TOTAL ACTIVA/QUARTZ INEO ECS can reduce C02 emissions by a tonne* and save a tank of fuel each year**. * Official C02 emissions reduction of 4 g per km (approx. Corresponds to a reduction in C02 emissions of 1 tonne throughout the life of the vehicle, on a private diesel vehicle with an average life expectancy estimated at 250 000 km (approx. [. . . ] Even when the engine is switched off, the cooling fan could still operate without warning. Donotwearloose clothing (ties, scarfs, etc. ), tie back long hair, all of which could become entangled in a pulley or be dragged into a drive belt. 94 SAFETY Radiator In normal usage, the coolant temperature reaches or exceeds 100 °C. Never remove the cap of a radiatorthatishot: there is danger from projection of scalding liquid and steam. The antifreeze contained in the coolant lends it the following properties: · Protection against low temperatures (initial protection: -35 °C). Fuel cut-off switch Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a collision. At all times: · Avoid attempting repairs while close to moving traffic. · Ensure that your passengers seek safety away from the vehicle and off the roadway (road verges and motorway hard shoulders are not safe places). · Preferably summon assistance from a CITROËN-approved breakdown service. · For guaranteed quality and safety, use CITROËN products. Petrol Be extremely careful when decanting or draining petrol or when repairing petrol leaks because of the high risk of fire. Dieselfuel The diesel fuel system of an HDi vehicle is a high pressure system. Any repair work must be carried out by suitably qualified personnel, such as can be guaranteed by the CITROËN network. Oil In normal use, the engine oil can exceed temperatures of 130 °C and thus can cause serious burns. VIII Exhaust system Beware of the very high temperatures attained by the various components of the exhaust system (risk of burns). 95 SAFETY LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM Operation Provided you are travelling at over 80 km/h (approx. 50 mph), if you cross a lane marking, you are alerted by a vibration within the cushion of your seat: - oriented to the right for crossing a lane marking to the right, - oriented to the left for crossing a lane marking to the left. The system does not alert you while your direction indicator is operating, nor for about 20 seconds after your direction indicator has stopped. The effectiveness of the system may be temporarily affected by conditions external to the vehicle: · Detection of lanes made difficult by: - Markings that are worn or erased. · Masking of the sensors due to: - Driving in snow or heavy rain. If the system is ineffective for a prolonged period, contact a CITROËN dealer. VIII This driving assistance device alerts you if you are wandering from your lane (continuous or dotted line marking on the road surface). It is designed especially for use on motorways and dual carriageways, operating only at speeds above 80 km/h (approx. Activation/Deactivation A press on control A activates the function, the warning lamp on the control lights up. A second press on control A deactivates the function, the warning lamp on the control goes out. Whenever you start the engine, the mode (activated/deactivated), selected when you last switched off the engine, is retained. Note: This device is designed to identify traffic lane markings. In certain specific instances, it may trigger an unwanted alert, for example when you cross a direction arrow or some other random marking. The driver must still remain attentive and in complete control of the vehicle. 96 DRIVING HANDBRAKE To release the handbrake, press on the end of the lever, pull the lever up then lower it fully. Before leaving the vehicle, make sure that the parking brake is sufficiently applied to prevent the vehicle from moving if on a slope, or if accidentally or deliberately pushed.
