Car filling by fuel

The Citroёn company tries to achieve from the engines established on the cars, not only maximum efficiency of return and economy of fuel consumption, but also durability, convenience in operation and minimization of harmful effects on environment.

These transferred parameters directly depend on quality of used fuel. Application of fuel of the corresponding type allows to achieve the best dynamic characteristics of the car. Originators of the real Management recommend to use for filling of petrol models fuel with octane number not below AI 98. The volume of a fuel tank makes 65 l.

Catalytic converter

- Use for filling of the petrol models equipped with the catalytic converter only unleaded fuel. Lead present at etilirovanny fuel destroys the catalyst and can cause other serious damages.

- Do not add in fuel any additives which use is not approved by the Citroёn company.

- Violation of serviceability of functioning of the engine can lead to an exit of the catalytic converter out of operation, therefore:
   a) Observe periodicity of technical inspections;
   b) At emergence of difficulties with start of the cold engine, address for consultation to specialists of car-care center;
   c) At violation of stability of turns of the engine reduce frequency of its rotation and at the first possibility address to specialists of car-care center;
   d) Do not make engine start by towage or car pushing: hit in the catalytic converter of not burned down fuel can lead to a device exit out of operation as a result of its overheat at fuel ignition after engine start;
   e) For the same reason do not continue car operation at emergence of admissions of ignition;
   f) Switching off of ignition make only after turns of the engine will be dumped;
   g) Avoid long parking with working engine;
   h) Do not carry out a car parking on the platforms covered with easily flammable materials (lawns with a dry grass or fallen leaves, etc.).

Safety cushions

General information and functioning principle

Safety cushions are intended for additional protection of the driver and the forward passenger at a head-on collision of the car (and at the corresponding complete set also at lateral blows or a vehicle perevorachivaniye).

At excess by a face-to-face overload of a certain value the pillow instantly (for fractions of a second) fills space between the driver and a steering wheel, or between the passenger and the dashboard, limiting their longitudinal moving and reducing thereby risk of receiving the most dangerous injuries of the head and a breast. Lateral safety cushions (if those are provided) fill space between the driver/passenger and the corresponding door of the car at lateral blow from this board.

The design of forward safety cushions provided protection them from operation at insignificant face-to-face overloads, blows behind, or sideways.

At a strong head-on collision when the overload exceeds some put in memory of system value, there is an operation of a gas generator and a pillow is instantly filled with products developed by it, stopping movings of a body of the driver / the forward passenger in the longitudinal direction, then almost at once is blown off, releasing the driver review sector. At contact with a face of the person the fabric of a pillow can leave on graze skin.

Pillows are among disposable adaptations and for a reuse are not intended. After a gas vypuskaniye from a pillow its operation at repeated blow during the same incident becomes impossible.

Directional patterns of overloads at which there is an operation of safety cushions

The driver's safety cushion is built in in the central part of a steering wheel. The module of a passenger pillow it is placed the dashboard opposite to the right seat. Operation of both forward safety cushions occurs at the same time. Modules of lateral safety cushions (at the corresponding complete set) are built in in backs of forward seats from their outer side, are equipped with individual sensors of the directed overloads and work only at lateral blows (everyone from the corresponding board of the car) (see in the same place).

In an instrument guard the control lamp of forward safety cushions is built in, which should quickly (approximately for 6 seconds) to light up at each inclusion of ignition. After the mentioned 6 seconds the lamp should go out. At emergence in system of safety cushions of malfunctions the control lamp at first blinks within 5 minutes, then continues to burn continuously. In default operations of a control lamp at inclusion of ignition address for consultations to specialists of car-care center.

Precautionary measures which should be observed on the models equipped with forward safety cushions:

- Remember that safety cushions are not panacea from any incidents. Do not forget to be fastened by seat belts.
- Do not paste to the central part of a steering wheel any extraneous subjects in order to avoid receiving wounds of the person at pillow emission.
- Between a body of the passenger and a safety cushion there should be no extraneous subjects.
- Do not hold a wheel for spokes or for the central part.
- Do not leave on the forward panel of subjects which could provoke operation of a pillow or wound the passenger at her emission.
- Watch that the forward passenger during movement did not put a foot on the dashboard.
- Remember that children are more younger than 10 years should to be on a back seat.
- Never establish a children's seat on a place of the forward passenger if the car is equipped with a safety cushion of the passenger.

Precautionary measures which should be observed on the models equipped with lateral safety cushions:

- Do not forget to be fastened by seat belts.
- Do not paste and do not fasten to backs of forward seats any extraneous subjects, is it is fraught with injuries of a thorax or a hand at pillow operation.
- Between a body of the passenger and a safety cushion there should be no extraneous subjects.
- Do not put on seats covers since they disturb the correct emission of a safety cushion.
- The driver and the passenger should get used to accept vertical situation in a chair and to try not to lean against the door panel.

Seat belts

Natyazhiteli and blokirator effort belts/limiters

With Natyazhiteli at operation during blow provide a dense clip of a body of the fastened driver/passenger to a seat back that in an essential measure increases efficiency of action of a seat belt.

Operating at the same time with a natyazhitel, the blokirator carries out a belt clip at its sharp pulling. As a result the belt is extended only for insignificant length, limiting inertial advance of a body forward during blow.

If the car is equipped with forward safety cushions, the system of blocking of belts is replaced with system of restriction of efforts which allows to increase efficiency of protection of the driver / the forward passenger at a head-on collision, limiting pressure of a belt upon a body.

The control lamp on an instrument guard signals about need of a pristegivaniye of a driver's seat belt before a start of motion (at the included ignition).

Pyrotechnic devices of belts and safety cushions are disposable and are calculated on 10-year service life (from the date of car release). After single operation the module натяжителя / pillows is subject to replacement which should be made only by strengths of specialists of car-care center.

With a view of safety any service of systems of additional safety to be made only by experts. Any attempts of independent repair or improvement of devices without observance of necessary precautionary measures it is connected with risk of an irreversible exit of knot out of operation, or unauthorized (and travmoopasny) module operations.

Scheme of laying and design of anchor knots of seat belts

The top anchor knot of a seat belt regulated on height

Lateral seat belts of back seats are also equipped with inertial returnable devices and regulated on height of situation in the top anchor knots. The one-section (lumbar) central seat belt of a back seat is not equipped with the returnable device and on a design is static.

Regularly check a condition and purity of tapes of belts. Periodically inspect a condition of belts with involvement of specialists of car-care center.

Means of children's safety

It is necessary to remember that children on a constitution are not the reduced copy of adults: till 7-8 years weight ratios of parts of a body strongly differ from characteristic for adult parameters. At strong breakthrough during collision the considerable relative mass of the head and comparative weakness of muscles can cause serious injuries of a backbone.

Only since age of 10 years or on reaching growth of 1.35 m transportation of children without application of special means with use of only one seat belts is allowed.

In many countries there is a classification of security aids for transportation of the child in the car according to its weight.

The vast majority of experts recommend the following scheme of use of special adaptations of children's safety:
   a) The cradle is suitable for transportation of babies with a network which should fasten on a back seat across a pillow and allows to soften force both front, and back blow;
   b) In transit the child from several months to 4 years use of a special seat cockleshell which, whenever possible, is also best of all to have on a back seat of the car is recommended;
   c) For children from 4 to 7/8 years the closed chair established by the person forward, equipped with a buckle, allowing to use a car seat belt is offered;
   d) For children till 10 years the seats supplied with a buckle for fastening of a seat belt are provided.

Use only the certificated production, allowing to provide maximum efficiency of protection.

The law allows to transport children on forward seats only under condition of implementation of the following requirements:
   a) The design of a children's seat should provide possibility of installation with his back forward. The car should not be thus equipped with a passenger pillow (ами) safety;
   b) When the back seat is combined and installation possibility on it a children's seat is absent (a desperate situation);
   c) When the number of transported children exceeds containing possibilities of a back seat.

The Citroёn company offers the consumer a wide range of production providing the maximum comfort and safety to the child transported in the car. Detailed consultation on selection of means corresponding to concrete requirements always it is possible to receive in firm company service centers.
