Citroen C3: Driving recommendations / Important!
Never leave the engine
running in a
closed space without sufficient
ventilation. Internal combustion engines emit
toxic exhaust gases such as carbon
monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death!
In severe wintry
conditions (temperature
below -23°C), let the engine run for 4
minutes before moving off, to ensure the
correct operation and durability of the
mechanical components of your vehicle
(engine and gearbox).
Never drive with the
parking brake
applied. Risk of overheating and
damage to the braking system!
Do not park the vehicle
or leave the
engine running on a flammable
surface (dry grass, dead leaves, etc.). The
exhaust system of your vehicle is very hot,
even several minutes after the engine stops.
Risk of fire!
Never leave a vehicle
unattended 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).
Never leave children
inside the vehicle
unsupervised.
Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Monitor your environment and keep your
hands on the wheel to be able to react to
anything that may happen any time...
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...
