SEATS WITH A SUPPORT LEG
Care must be taken when installing a child seat with a support leg in
the
vehicle. In particular you should
look
for the presence of a storage
compartment below the rear seat
footwells.
The centre rear seat does not have
a storage compartment below the
footwell.
Y
ou can therefore easily fit a
child seat with a support leg, whether
installed with the ISOFIX mountings or
using
the 3 point seat belt.
Do not place the support leg on
the storage compartment cover;
it
might break in a serious impact.
Where
the adjustments of the support
leg allow it, we suggest two other
possibilities
for installation.
At the bottom of the storage
compartment
If the support leg is long enough, you
can adjust it so that it contact the
bottom
of the storage compartment.
Remove
all objects from the storage
compartment before installin
g the
support
leg.
Away from the storage
compartment area
If the support leg is long enough and
can be inclined sufficiently (always
by following the recommendations
given in the installation instructions for
the child seat), you can position the
support
leg so that it contacts the floor
away
from the storage compartment.
Adjust
the longitudinal position of
the front or rear seat to obtain a
satisfactory position for the support leg
away
from the storage compartment.
If you cannot position the support
leg in the way described, you
should
not fit a child seat with
support
leg to the seat.

ISOFIx MOUNTINGS
Your vehicle has been approved in
accordance with the latest ISOFIX regulation.
The mountings comprise three rings for each
seat.
Two front rings A, located between
the vehicle seat backrest and cushion,
indicated
by a marking. A rear ring B,
located on the back
of
the vehicle's seat backrest, for
securing the upper strap referred to as
the
T
op
T
ether.
The Top Tether is used to secure the
upper strap of child seats that have
one.
This
arrangement limits the
forward tipping of the child seat in the
event
of a frontal impact.
This ISOFIX mounting system
guarantees you fast, reliable and safe
fitting of the child seat in your vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats are fitted with
two latches which are secured on the
two front rings
A.
Some also have an upper strap which
is attached to the rear ring B. Follow strictly the instructions for
fitting
child seats contained in the
manufacturer's
installation guide.
To secure the child seat to the
Top Tether:
-
remove and stow the head restraint
before installin
g the child seat in
this seating position (refit it once
the child seat has been removed),
-
pass the upper strap of the child
seat over the top of the seat
backrest,
between the apertures for
the head restraint rods,
-
secure
the hook on the upper strap
to the rear ring,
-
tighten
the upper strap.
The incorrect installation of a child
seat in a vehicle compromises the
protection of the child in the event
of an accident.
Refer to the table for information on
the installation of ISOFIX child seats in
your vehicle.

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
At the rear, always leave sufficient space between the front seat and:
-
a rearward facing child seat,
-
the feet of a child seated in a
forward
facing child seat.
For this, move the front seat forward
and, if necessary, straighten its
backrest
as well.
The incorrect installation of a child seat
in a vehicle compromises the child's
protection
in the event of an accident.
Check that there is no seat belt or seat
belt
buckle under the child seat, as this
could
destabilise the seat.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or
the child seat harnesses keeping the
slack relative to the child's body to a
minimum, even for short journeys.
For the installation of a child seat using
the seat belt, ensure that the seat belt
is well tensioned on the child seat
and that it is holding the child seat
firmly against the vehicle's seat. If the
passenger
seat is adjustable, move it
forward
if necessary. For the optimum installation of a
forward facing child seat, ensure that
the back of the child seat is as close as
possible
to the backrest of the vehicle's
seat,
or in contact if possible.
The head restraint must be removed
before installing a child seat with a
backrest on the passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is
stowed or attached securely so that it
is not thrown around the vehicle in the
event of sharp braking.
Refit the head restraint as soon as the
child
seat is removed.Children at the front
The legislation on carrying a child on
the
front passenger seat is specific to
each
country. Refer to the legislation in
force
in your country.
Deactivate the passenger's airbag
when a rearward facing child seat is
installed
on the front seat.
Otherwise,
the child would risk being
seriously
injured or killed if the airbag
were
deployed.
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, never 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".
Take
care
not
to
open
the
rear
windows
by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays
of
the sun, fit side blinds to the rear
windows.
For an installation in row 3, put the
backrests
of
the
outer
and
centre
seats in row 2 in the table position, or
remove these seats in row 2, so that
the child seat or the child's legs do not
touch
the
seats
in
row
2.

For more information about
weights and towed loads, refer to
chapter 9, "Weights" section.
TOWING A TRAILER , A CARA VAN ...
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.
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.
You should therefore use a high gear
to lower the engine speed and reduce
your
speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant
temperature.
Driving advice
A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox
in neutral.
