SLIDING SUN VISOR

Sliding blinds

Visor rails

The blinds are extended on the sun
visor rails.
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

Facility for affi xing toll cards and/or
car park tickets.
These windows are located on each
side of the base of the child surveil-
lance mirror.
They are two non-refl ective areas of
the athermic windscreen.






Child surveillance mirror

The athermic windscreen limits
heating of the passenger compart-
ment by reducing the effects of the
sun's rays (ultra-violet). It consists of
a refl ective layer, which also blocks
certain radio-electric signals (auto-
matic toll card payments, etc.). A child surveillance mirror is fi tted
above the rear view mirror. This al-
lows you to monitor the vehicle’s
rear passengers, or it can facilitate
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 to the desired po-
sition by pushing at A
.
The visors are fi tted with a lock-
ing system on their central housing
when the blind is reeled in. To re-
move the visor from its central hous-
ing or to reposition it, it must be in a
vertical position.

CHILD SAFETY

*
According to country and current
local legislation.
ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS


Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must
be positioned on the child's shoul-
der 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
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 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.
The incorrect installation of a child
seat in a vehicle compromises the
child's protection in the event of an
accident.
When installing a child seat using the
seat belt, check that the seat belt is
tightened correctly on the child seat
and that it secures the child seat
fi rmly on the seat of your vehicle.

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-
wards-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 re-
moved, ensure that it is stored or
attached securely 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 "forwards-facing"
position on the front passenger seat,
unless the rear seats are already oc-
cupied by other children, cannot be
used or are absent.
Deactivate the passenger airbag *
when a "rearwards-facing" child
seat is installed on the front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk be-
ing seriously injured or killed if the
airbag were to infl ate.
