Child safety

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS

The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child’s protection in
the event of an accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harnesses keeping the slack in
relation to the child’s body to a minimum ,
even for short journeys.
For optimum installation of the “forward
facing” child seat, ensure that the back of
the child seat is in contact with the back of
the vehicle’s seat and that the head restraint
does not cause any discomfort.

Installing a booster seat

The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child’s shoulder without
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child’s thighs.
CITROËN recommends the use of a booster
seat which has a back, fitted with a seat belt
guide at shoulder level.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- one or more children alone and

unsupervised in a vehicle,

- a child or an animal in a vehicle which

is exposed to the sun, with the windows
closed,

- the keys within reach of children inside

the vehicle.

To prevent accidental opening of the doors,
use the “Child lock”.
To protect young children from the rays of
the sun, fit side blinds on the side windows.

If the head restraint has to be removed,
ensure that it is stored or attached securely
to prevent it from being thrown around the
vehicle in the event of sharp braking.
Children under the age of 10 must not travel
in the “forward facing” position on the front
passenger seat, unless the rear seats are
already occupied by other children, cannot
be used or are absent.
Disarm the passenger air bag when a “rear
facing” child seat is installed on the front
seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the air bag were
to inflate.

Child safety

“ISOFIX” FASTENING SYSTEM

Your vehicle has been approved according
to the new ISOFIX directives.
The system features 3 rings for each side
seat on the rear benchseat :
- 2 bottom rings, located between the

backrest and the seat cushion,

- 1 top ring, for the securing of the

TOP TETHER top belt .

The ISOFIX fastening system gives you a
reliable, strong and convenient fitting for a
child seat in your vehicle.
ISOFIX child seats have 2 latches which are
easy to secure on the 2 bottom rings.

Some also have a top belt which is for
attaching to the top ring.
To attach the top belt, raise the head
restraint, then pass the buckle between the
2 supports. Next fix the buckle to the top
ring, and tension the top belt.

THE ISOFIX CHILD SEAT RECOMMENDED
BY CITROËN AND APPROVED FOR YOUR
VEHICLE IS :

This child seat can also be used in seat
positions that are not equipped with
ISOFIX anchoring points.

In this case, they must be secured to the
seat using the 3-point seat belt .
Follow the fitting instructions given in the
child seat manufacturer’s user guide.

Towing a trailer

TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...

Driving advice

A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox in
neutral.
Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature.

As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on the
engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the
engine speed and reduce your speed.

In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.

Towing a trailer

In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a steep
slope in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power. In this
case, the automatic cutting off of the air
conditioning allows the engine power to be
recovered.

If the coolant temperature
warning light comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.

See the “Levels” section of chapter 7.

Tyres: check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the “Identification
features” section of chapter 7) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressure.

Brakes: towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake gradually.

Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed.

ABS: the system only controls the vehicle,
not the trailer.

Rear parking assistance:
the assistance will be deactivated

automatically when a CITROËN towbar is
used (see the “Rear parking assistance”
section of chapter 4).

Towbar

We recommend the use of  CITROËN
towbars and their harnesses, which have
been tested and approved from the design
stage of your vehicle, and that the fitting of
this equipment is entrusted to a  CITROËN
dealer .
If this equipment is not fitted by a  CITROËN
dealer , it is essential that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment located at the
rear of the vehicle in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
The operation of the sensors is deactivated
automatically when the pin of the trailer
cable is inserted in the towbar socket.
When the trailer cable pin is removed, the
sensors are re-activated.

Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest objects are as close as possible
to the axle and the nose weight is close to
the maximum authorised without, however,
exceeding it. The air density decreases with
altitude, so reducing the performance of
the engine. The maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10 % for each 1000 metres
of altitude. Refer to the “Technical data”
chapter for details of the weights and
towed loads applicable to your vehicle and
also to the administrative documents (V5
registration document, ...).

a failure of the electronic system of your
vehicle.
We would like to draw your attention to this
fact, and advise you to consult a CITROËN
dealer who will be able to show you the
range of equipment and accessories that are
available.
Depending on the country of sale, it may be
mandatory to carry high visibility jackets,
warning triangles and replacement bulbs
in your vehicle. Before fitting any radio
transmitters with an external aerial on
your vehicle, we recommend that you
contact a CITROËN dealer. Your CITROËN
dealer will inform you of the features of
transmittters (frequency band, maximum
power output, aerial position, specific
conditions of installation) which may be
fitted, in accordance with the Automobile
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive
(2004/104/CE...).
