Special position of the
windscreen wipers
This position permits release of the
windscreen wiper blades.
It is used for cleaning or replacement
of the blades. It can also be useful,
in winter, to detach the blades from
the windscreen.
In the moment following switching
the ignition off, any action on the
stalk positions the wipers vertically
on the windscreen.
To park the wipers after this has
been done, switch on the ignition
and operate the stalk.
To maintain the effectiveness of
the "fl at-blade" wiper blades, it is
advisable to:


- handle them with care,

- clean them regularly using
soapy water,

- avoid using them to retain card-
board on the windscreen,

- replace them at the fi rst signs
of wear.

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 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 t-
ted 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 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 "forwards-facing" position
on the front passenger seat, unless
the rear seats are already occupied by
other children, cannot be used or are
absent.
Deactivate the passenger airbag * when a "rearwards-facing" child seat is in-
stalled on the front seat. Otherwise, the
child would risk being seriously injured
or killed if the airbag were to infl ate.

ELECTRIC CHILD LOCK


Activation


)
Press button A
.
The indicator lamp in button A
comes
on, accompanied by a message in
the instrument panel screen. Remote control system to prevent
opening of the rear doors using their
interior controls and use of the rear
electric windows.
Deactivation


)
Press button A
again.
The indicator lamp in button A
goes
off, accompanied by a message in
the instrument panel screen.
This indicator lamp remains off until

no circumstances does it take the
place of the central locking control.
Check the status of the child lock
each time you switch on the ignition.
Always remove the key from the
ignition when leaving the vehicle,
even for a short time.
In the event of a serious impact, the
electric child lock is deactivated au-
tomatically to permit the exit of the
rear passengers.
Any other status of the indicator
lamp indicates a fault with the elec-
tric child lock. Have it checked by a
CITROËN or a qualifi ed workshop.

door, with the electric window controls.

SAFETY






Front airbags

System which protects the head and chest of the driver and front passen-
ger in the event of a front impact.
The driver's airbag is fi tted in the
centre of the steering wheel; the
front passenger's airbag is fi tted in
the dashboard above the glove box.

Deployment

The airbags are deployed simultane-ously, unless the passenger's front
airbag is deactivated, in the event of
a serious front impact to all or part of
the front impact zone A
, in the lon-
gitudinal centreline of the vehicle on
a horizontal plane and directed from
the front to the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag infl ates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
dashboard to cushion their forward
movement.


Deactivation
This warning lamp comes on
in the roof console screen
when the ignition is on and
until the airbag is reactivated.
To assure the safety of your child,
the passenger's airbag must be
deactivated when you install a
"rearwards-facing" child seat on
the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk be-
ing seriously injured or killed if the
airbag were deployed.
Activation
When you remove the child seat,
turn switch 1
to the "ON"
position to
reactivate the airbag and so assure
the safety of your front passenger in
the event of an impact.

Operating fault

If this symbol appears in the
instrument panel screen,
accompanied by an audible
warning and a message,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop to have the sys-
tem checked. The airbags may no
longer be deployed in the event of a
serious impact. Only the front passenger's airbag
can be deactivated:


)
with the ignition off
, insert the
key in the passenger airbag de-
activation switch 1
,

)
turn it to the "OFF"
position,

)
then, remove the key keeping
the switch in this position. If this warning lamp fl ashes,
contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
If both airbag warning lamps come
on continuously, do not install a
"rearwards-facing" child seat on
the front passenger seat.
Have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
