Citroen C3: Safety / General safety recommendations
Do not remove the labels
attached in
different places on your vehicle. They
include safety warnings as well as
identification information for the vehicle.
For all 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.
Depending on country
regulations,
certain safety equipment may be
mandatory: high visibility safety vests,
warning triangles, breathalysers, spare bulbs,
spare fuses, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, mud
flaps at the rear of the vehicle, etc.
Installing electrical
accessories:
- The fitting of electrical equipment or
accessories not approved 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 approved
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 CITROËN or carried out
without meeting the technical requirements
defined by the Manufacturer will result in the
suspension of the commercial warranty.
