With the exception of the Berlingo Grip Selection vehicle available for delivery from November 2015, all other vehicles are supplied with standard tyres. Winter tyres are not available from Citroën. If winter tyres are fitted by the customer during the contract period, they must be removed and fitted with the standard tyres that were originally supplied with the vehicle, otherwise the contract holder will be invoiced for the cost of the standard tyres. Tyre punctures and tyre and wheel damage or vandalism of any kind are at the contract holder’s expense.
Please Note: Standard tyres may not be suitable for winter road conditions and extreme weather in various countries throughout Europe. For safety reasons, it is the responsibility of the contract holder to ensure that their car suits the road, weather conditions and the legal requirements for road safety throughout the countries where the car will be driven during the term of the contract.
Accessories ordered by the customer with the vehicle are actually privately purchased by the customer and are not eligible for refund or buy-back on return of vehicle.
CHILD SEATS / RESTRAINTS:
Regulations and seat fittings in Europe for child seats and restraints differ from those in Australia. The European regulation and mounting system is known as ISOFIX and the child seats in Australia do not have ISOFIX mountings on them and will therefore not be acceptable for the European regulations and vehicles. A variety of child seats are available for purchase from Citroe¨n.
Pick-up and drop-off of Citroe¨n vehicles are free of charge within France. Charges are applicable to pick-up and drop-off of vehicles in other European cities. These costs are pre-paid.

If the extension payment is not made, the vehicle will only be insured for the initial contract period.
