ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
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, fi tted
with a seat belt guide at shoulder level.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- one or more children alone and un-supervised 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 win-
dows by more than one third.
To protect young children from the
rays of the sun, fi t side blinds on the
rear windows.
CHILD LOCK

 Lower the control A to position 1 .
Locking
Unlocking

 Raise the control A to position 2 .
Mechanical system to prevent opening
of the rear door using its interior control.
The control is located on the edge of
each rear door.
The incorrect installation of a child
seat in a vehicle compromises the
child's protection in the event of an ac-
cident.
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 "for-
ward 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.
If the head restraint has to be removed,
ensure that it is stored or attached se-
curely 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 infl ate.

BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems which
help you to obtain optimum braking in
complete safety in emergency situa-
tions:
- the anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- the electronic brake force distribu-tion (EBFD).
When braking in an emergency,
press very fi rmly without releas-
ing the pressure. The two warning lights comes on at
the same time and the two warnings
are displayed alternately on the in-
strument panel display.
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Operating fault
If this warning light comes on, accom-
panied by the indication on the instru-
ment panel display, it indicates a mal-
function of the anti-lock braking system
which could result in a loss of control of
the vehicle when braking.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
If these two warning lights come on,
linked with the warnings on the instru-
ment panel display, they indicate a mal-
function of the electronic brake force
distribution which could result in a loss
of control of the vehicle on braking.

You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Anti-lock braking system and electronic brake force distribution
Linked systems which improve the sta-
bility and manoeuvrability of your vehicle
when braking, in particular on poor or
slippery surfaces.
The warning light comes on for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched
on (ON position). If it does not switch
off or does not come on, contact a
CITROËN dealer.
When the vehicle is stationary
When the vehicle is moving
If this warning light comes on
continuously it indicates a mal-
function of the anti-lock braking
system which could result in a
loss of control of the vehicle on braking.

You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system is active if
the vehicle speed is higher than 6 mph
(10 km/h). It is deactivated when the ve-
hicle speed falls below 3 mph (5 km/h).
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when there
is a risk of wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal.

FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM
WITH ELECTRONIC CONTROL
4WD AUTO (position 1)
The vehicle operates with four wheel
drive and provides optimum traction
regardless of the level of grip.
This is the vehicle's normal and regular
operating mode, the distribution of the
torque between the front and rear axles
is controlled automatically.
The distribution favours the front wheels,
the transfer of torque to the rear wheels
is managed electronically by the control
unit in relation to the level of grip, so
guaranteeing optimum road holding.
Three transmission modes are avail-
able and can be selected manually
by the driver in accordance with his
requirements.
You can change transmission mode
when stationary or while driving at a
speed below 60 mph (100 km/h) .
The transmission mode can be selected
by turning the control A .
Display on the instrument panel
The transmission mode is displayed in
the form of an intermittent display on
the instrument panel display when the
transmission mode is selected.
Selecting the transmission mode
The selection of this mode is recom-
mended when the level of grip permits.
2WD (position 3)
The vehicle operates with front two
wheel drive.
This mode corresponds to use on a tar-
macked road on which the driver con-
siders that there is no risk of loss of grip
(dry road).
4WD LOCK (position 2)
The vehicle operates with four wheel
drive in this mode also.
It is recommended when grip is particularly
poor or diffi cult (sand, mud, slopes, ...).
System which permits the selection of
a transmission mode in relation to the
driving conditions.

Operating faults
If the selected transmission mode dis-
play fl ashes, the vehicle switches auto-
matically to front "2WD" transmission
mode.
It is then no longer possible to select the
transmission mode using the control A . Do not subject the vehicle to exces-
sive conditions while driving.
As the engine torque is applied to
all four wheels, the condition of the
tyres has a considerable impact on
the performance of the vehicle.
Ensure that all four tyres are in good
condition.
Avoid driving the vehicle in sandy
or muddy areas or in other areas in
which the wheels could spin.
Spinning the wheels places the
transmission components under
pressure and could cause a serious
malfunction.
Do not drive the vehicle through
deep water.
Avoid driving over excessively un-
even terrain (risk of scraping under
the body or of grounding on crossing
a bridge).
Have your vehicle towed on a
fl atbed.
The vehicle must not be towed with
the front or rear wheels on the ground even if it is in front "2WD" (2 wheel
drive) mode.
If the message "SLOW DOWN" is dis-
played on the instrument panel, let the
transmission cool down then wait for the
display to clear before setting off again.
If "4WD" and "LOCK" are displayed
alternately and if "MAINTENANCE
REQUIRED" is displayed on the instru-
ment panel, the system has failed and
the safety system has been activated.
Contact a CITROËN dealer without delay.

strut in its clip.
This operation must only be carried out
when the vehicle is stationary.
When the engine is hot, handle the ex-
terior control and the bonnet strut with
care (risk of burns).
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL

From inside: pull the handle A , on the
right-hand side below the door, towards
you. If you run out of fuel, fi ll the tank and
operate the starter until the engine
starts.
Several attempts must be made before
the engine re-starts.
