Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit
the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof
b
ars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in preference.
Remove
roof bars and roof racks after use.
At
the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations on
maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry
out this check in particular:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-
a
t each change of season,
-
a
fter a long period out of use.
Don't
forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have
your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter,
p
assenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of
o
perations in the personalised servicing schedule for your vehicle.
With
a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system develops a fault,
y
our vehicle becomes polluting; go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
w
orkshop without delay to have the emissions of nitrous oxides brought
w
ithin the limits set by the directive.
When
refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
a
void any over flow.
At
the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles
(3
000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to
a
consistent average.

Do
not leave anything between the
o
ccupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
o
bject...), nor fix or attach anything close to
t
he inflation trajectory of the airbags; this
c
ould cause injuries during their deployment.
Never
modify the original definition of your
v
ehicle, particularly in the area directly
around
the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen
or broken into, have the airbag
s
ystems checked.
All
work on the airbag system must be
c
arried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
w
orkshop.
Even
if all of the precautions mentioned
a
re observed, a risk of injury or of minor
b
urns to the head, chest or arms when an
a
irbag is deployed cannot be ruled out. The
b
ag inflates almost instantly (within a few
m
illiseconds) then deflates within the same
t
ime discharging the hot gas via openings
p
rovided for this purpose.Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on the centre

Do
not fit or attach anything to the steering
w
heel, the dashboard or the passenger's
s
un visor as this could cause injuries with

t
o the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is
d
eployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer
to the door than necessary.

There are three rings for each seat: -
a
ring B behind the seat for fixing the upper
s
trap, referred to as the TOP TETHER
.
The TOP TETHER is used to secure the
upper strap of child seats that have one. This
a
rrangement limits the for ward tipping of the
c

This
ISOFIX mounting system provides fast,
r
eliable and safe fitting of the child seat in your
v

information on the possibilities for
i
nstalling ISOFIX child seats in your
v
ehicle, refer to the summary table.
The incorrect installation of a child seat
in
a vehicle compromises the child's
p
rotection in the event of an accident.
Follow
the instructions for fitting child
s
eats contained in the installation guide
s
upplied with the child seat.
When
fitting an ISOFIX child seat to the left

Child seats
Recommendations
Installing a booster
cushion
The chest part of the seat belt must be positioned on the child's shoulder without
t
ouching 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
s
eat which has a back, fitted with a seat belt
g
uide at shoulder level.
As
a safety precaution, do not leave:
-
o
ne or more children alone and
u
nsupervised in a vehicle,
-
a
child or an animal in a vehicle which
i
s exposed to the sun, with the windows
c
losed,
-
t
he keys within reach of children inside
t
he vehicle.
To
prevent accidental opening of the doors,
u
se the child lock.
Take
care not to open the rear windows by
m
ore than one third.
To
protect young children from the rays of
t
he sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.
Children at the front
For optimum installation o f t he fo rward f acing c
hild seat, ensure that the back of the child
s
eat is as close as possible to the backrest
o
f the vehicle's seat, or in contact if possible.
The
head restraint must be removed before
i
nstalling a child seat with a backrest on the
p
assenger
sea
t.
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.
The
legislation on carrying a child on the
f
ront passenger seat is specific to each
c
ountry. Refer to the legislation in force in
t
he country in which you are driving.
Deactivate
the passenger's front airbag
w
hen a rear ward facing child seat is installed
o
n the front passenger seat. Other wise, the
c
hild would risk being seriously injured or
k
illed if the airbag were deployed.
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle
compromises
the
child's
protection
in
t
he
event
of
an
accident.
Check
that
there
is
no
seat
belt
or
seat
belt
b
uckle
under
the
child
seat
as
this
could
de
stabilise
i
t.
Remember
to
fasten
the
seat
belts
or
the
c
hild seat harnesses keeping the slack in
relation
to
the
child's
body
to a minimum ,
even
for
short
journeys.
For
the
installation
of
a
child
seat
using
a
s
eat belt, ensure that this is well tensioned
on
the
child
seat
and
that
it
is
holding
the
c
hild
seat
firmly
against
the
seat
of
your
v
ehicle.
If
your
front
passenger
seat
is
a
djustable,
move
it
for ward
if
necessary.
At the rear seats, always leave sufficient
space
between
the
front
seat
and:
-
a
rear ward
facing
child
seat,
-
t
he feet of a child seated in a for ward
facing
child
seat.
For
this,
move
the
front
seat
for ward
and
if
n
ecessary
straighten
its
backrest.
