Rear parking sensors
System consisting of four proximity sensors, located in the rear bumper.
This detects any obstacle (person, vehicle,
tree,
gate, etc.) behind the vehicle, except
o
bstacles located just below the bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a roadworks cone or any other similar object may b
e detected at the beginning of the
m
anoeuvre, but may no longer be detected
w
hen the vehicle comes close to it.
The parking sensor system cannot in any circumstances take the place of
v
igilance on the part of the driver.
The
system is activated as soon as reverse
g
ear
is engaged, accompanied by an audible
s
ignal. The proximity information is given by:
-
a
n audible signal, which becomes more
r
apid as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
-
a
graphic (according to version) in the
m
ultifunction screen, with blocks which
b
ecome increasingly closer to the vehicle.
Activation
When the distance between the rear of the vehicle
and
the obstacle is less than thirty centimetres, the a
udible signal becomes continuous and the "Danger"
s
ymbol appears in the multifunction screen.
On
completion of the manoeuvre, when you exit
r
everse gear, the system becomes inactive.

Braking assistance systems
Group of supplementary systems which help you to obtain optimum braking in complete
s
afety in emergency situations:
-
a
nti-lock braking system (ABS),
-
e
lectronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-
e
mergency braking assistance (EBA).Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the stability and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking,
i
n particular on poor or slippery sur faces.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes into operation automatically when there is a risk of
w
heel lock.
Normal
operation of the ABS may make itself
f
elt by slight vibration of the brake pedal.
When
braking in an emergency, press
v
ery firmly without releasing the
p
ressure.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on, together with the STOP and ABS
warning
lamps, accompanied by an

advice on child seats
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's protection
i
n the 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 harness keeping the slack in
relation to the child's body to a minimum ,
even
for short journeys.
To
install a child seat using the vehicle's
s
eat belt, ensure that the belt is well
tightened
on the child seat and that it holds
t
he child seat firmly against the vehicle's
s
eat. If your passenger seat is adjustable,
m
ove it for ward if necessary.
On
the rear seats, always leave enough
s
pace between the front seat and:
-
a
rear ward facing child seat,
-
t
he child's feet when in a for ward facing
c
hild seat.
To
do this, move the front seat for ward and,
i
f necessary, also straighten its backrest.
children at the front
The legislation on carrying a child on the front passenger seat is specific to each
c
o unt r y.
Refer
to the current legislation in your
c
o unt r y.
Deactivate
the passenger airbag when a
"
rear ward facing" child seat is installed on
t
he front seat. Other wise the child risks
b
eing seriously injured or killed if the airbag
i
s deployed.
Installation of a booster cushion
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
b
ooster seat which has a back, fitted with a
s
eat belt guide 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,
-
k
eys within the reach of children inside
t
he vehicle.
Use
the "child lock" to prevent any
a
ccidental opening of the rear doors or
w
indows.
Avoid
opening the rear windows by more
t
han a third.
To
protect young children from the rays of
t
he sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.
For
optimum
installation
of
the
"for ward
f
acing"
child
seat,
ensure
that
the
back
of
t
he child seat is as close as possible to
the
back
of
the
vehicle's
seat,
in
contact
if
p
ossible.
You
must
remove
the
head
restraint
before
f
itting
a
child
seat
on
a
passenger
seat.
E
nsure that the head restraint is stowed or
attached
securely
to
prevent
it
from
being
t
hrown around the vehicle in the event of
sharp
braking.
Refit
the
