SLIDING SUN VISOR
Sliding blinds
Visor struts
The blinds are extended on the sun
visor struts.
Fold the visor downwards, to protect
against dazzle to the face.
If dazzle is coming from the side
windows, detach the visor from its
housing above the centre of the
windscreen and pivot it to the side. Do not attach or suspend heavy
objects on the slide rail of the sun
blind.
TOLL CARD/CAR PARK TICKET WINDOWS

These windows are located on each
side of the base of the child monitor-
ing mirror.

CHILD MONITORING MIRROR
The athermic windscreen limits
heating of the passenger compart-
ment by reducing the effects of the
sun's rays (ultra-violet). It consists
o f a r e fl e c t i v e l a y e r , w h i c h a l s o
blocks certain radio-electric signals
(toll card payments, etc.). A child monitoring mirror is installed
above the interior rear view mirror.
This allows you to monitor the vehi-
cle’s rear passengers, or it can facili-
tate conversation between the front
and rear passengers without the
need to move the rear view mirror.
It can be folded away to eliminate
dazzle.
Sliding blinds are provided for your
protection against bright sunlight.
They can be adjusted manually.
Slide the blind on the visor to the
desired position by pushing the

BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems
which help you to obtain optimum
braking in complete safety in emer-
gency situations:
- the anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- the electronic brake force distri- bution (EBFD),
- the emergency braking assist- ance (EBA).
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the
stability and manoeuvrability of your
vehicle when braking, in particular
on poor or slippery surfaces.
Activation
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. Operating fault
When braking in an emergency,
p r e s s v e r y fi r m l y w i t h o u t r e l e a s i n g
the pressure. If this warning light comes
on, accompanied by an au-
dible signal and a message
on the multi-function display,
it indicates a malfunction of the anti-
lock braking system which could re-
sult in loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.
If this warning light comes on,
together with the STOP and
ABS warning lights, accom-
panied by an audible signal
and a message on the multifunction
display, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution
which could result in loss of control of
the vehicle when braking.
You MUST stop as soon as it is
safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a CITROËN
dealer.
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to
the manufacturer's recommenda-
tions. Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency,
enables you to obtain the optimum
braking pressure more quickly, thus
reducing the stopping distance.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in
the resistance of the pedal and an
i n c r e a s e i n b r a k i n g e f fi c i e n c y .
When braking in an emergency,
p r e s s fi r m l y w i t h o u t r e l e a s i n g t h e

SEAT BELTS
Front seat belts
T h e f r o n t s e a t b e l t s a r e fi t t e d w i t h a
pretensioning system and force limiter.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a front impact.
Depending on the seriousness of the
impact, the pretensioning system in-
stantly tightens the seat belt against
the body of the occupant. Fastening
Pull the belt down in front of you
in a steady movement, making
sure that it does not become
twisted.
Press the fastening into its buckle.
Check that it is properly secured
and that the automatic locking
mechanism operates correctly
by pulling sharply on the belt
strap.
The abdominal part of the strap
should be positioned as low
down as possible in the lap and
as tight as possible.
The chest part should be posi-
tioned if possible in the channel
of the shoulder.
Each belt has a reel that adjusts its
length automatically to the girth of
the seat occupant. Height adjustment
The pretensioning seat belts are
active when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure
of the seat belt against the chest of
the occupant, so increasing his pro-
tection.
The correct positioning of the seat
belt reel is around mid-shoulder
level.
To adjust the belt, pinch the con-
trol and slide it in the direction
required.
Unfastening
To unfasten the belt, press on
the red button in the buckle.
The belt retracts automatically when
not in use.
