Citroen C3: Driving recommendations / 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.

- If you are obliged to drive on a flooded road:
- check that the depth of water does not
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves that
might be generated by other users,
- deactivate the Stop & Start function,
- drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In
all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10 km/h),
- do not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety
conditions allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt about the state of your vehicle,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Never leave the engine
running in a
closed space without sufficient
ventilation. Internal combustion engines emit
toxic exhaust gases such as carbon
monoxide...
Driving with a trailer
places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
Respect the maximum
towable weights...
