VENTILATION
Recommendations for use
If the interior temperature re-
mains very high after a pro-
longed period parked in the sun, do
not hesitate to ventilate the passen-
ger compartment for a few minutes.
For an even air distribution, make
sure that you do not block the out-
side air inlet grille, the vents, the air
passages and the air outlets to the
footwells.
Ensure that the passenger compart-
ment fi lter, located below the wind-
screen, in the engine compartment,
is in good condition. Have the fi lter
elements replaced regularly. If you
drive in dusty conditions, change
them twice as often.
Operate the air conditioning system
for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a
month, to keep it in perfect working
order.
In order to ensure that your air condi-
tioning system continues to operate
correctly, you are advised to have it
checked regularly.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a fl ow of wa-
ter under the vehicle when stationary
which is perfectly normal.
If the system does not produce cold air,
do not use it and contact a CITROËN
dealer.

Although one of CITROËN's main cri-
teria when designing your vehicle, the
safety of your children also depends
on you. INSTALLING A CHILD SEAT

Intermediate
longitudinal positio n
* The rules for transporting children are
specifi c to each country. Consult the
current legislation in your country.
GENERAL POINTS RELATING TO CHILD SEATS
"Forwards-facing"
When a "forwards-facing" child seat
is installed on the front passenger
seat , adjust the vehicle's seat to the
intermediate longitudinal position
with the seat back upright and leave
the passenger air bag armed.
"Rearwards-facing"
For maximum safety, please
follow these precautions:
- in accordance with Directive 2003/20, all children under
the age of 12 or less than one
metre fi fty tall must travel in
approved child seats suited to
their weight , on seats fi tted with a
seat belt or ISOFIX* mountings ,
- statistically, the safest seats in
your vehicle for the transportation
of children are the rear seats,
- a child weighing less than 9 kg
must travel in the "rearwards-
facing" position both in the
front and in the rear. When a "rearwards-facing"
child seat is installed on the

front passenger seat , it is
essential that the passenger
air bag is disarmed. Otherwise, the
child would risk being seriously
injured or killed if the air bag were
to infl ate.
CITROËN recommends that children
should travel in the rear seats of your
vehicle:
- "rearwards-facing" up to the
age of 2,
- "forwards-facing" over the age
of 2.
