When the trip required is displayed, press
the button on the end of the wiper stalk for more than two seconds.
Trips "1"
and "2"are independent but their useis identical.
For example, trip "1"can be used for daily figures, and trip "2"for monthly figures.

Locking the vehicle
with exterior
perimeter
protection only
To be effective, this deactivation mustbe carried out each time the ignition is switched off.

If the indicator lamp in button Aflashes rapidly, this indicates that the alarmwas triggered during your absence. When the ignition is switched on, thisflashing stops immediately.
To a v o i d t r iggering the alarm when washing your vehicle, lock it using the key in the driver’s door lock.
Deactivation of the interior volumetric protection
)Switch off the ignition.)Within ten seconds, press button Auntil
the indicator lamp is on continuously.
)Get out of the vehicle.)Lock or deadlock the vehicle without delay using the locking button on the remote control.
The exterior perimeter protection alone remains
activated; the indicator lamp in button A flashes
once per second.

Reactivation of the interior volumetric protection
)
Unlock the vehicle using the unlockingbutton on the remote control. )
Relock the vehicle using the remotecontrol.
The alarm is activated again with both types
of protection; the indicator lamp in button A
flashes once per second.



Tr iggering of the alarm


This is indicated by sounding of the siren
and flashing of the direction indicators for
approximately thirty seconds.
After it has been triggered, both types of protection are again operational.
If the alarm is triggered ten times in succession, the eleventh time will result in it
becoming inactive.

139Child safety
Advice on child seats

The incorrect installation of a child seat in avehicle compromises the child's protectionin the event of an accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the child seat harness keeping the slackin relation to the child's body to a minimum , even for shor t journeys.
To install a child seat using the vehicle'sseat belt, ensure that the belt is well tightened on the child seat and that it holdsthe child seat firmly against the vehicle's seat.
For optimum installation of the "forwardfacing" 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 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 "forward 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 "rear facing" child seat is installed on thefront seat. Other wise, the child would risk beingseriously injured or killed if the airbag were to inflate.
Installing a booster seat
The chest par t of the seat belt must bepositioned 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 abooster seat which has a back, fitted with aseat belt guide at shoulder level.
*
According to country.

As a safety precaution, do not leave: - one or more children alone and unsuper vised in a vehicle, - a child or an animal in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun, with the windowsclosed, - the keys within reach of children inside the vehicle.To protect young children from the rays of the sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.

Braking assistance systems
Group of supplementary systems which helpyou to obtain optimum braking in complete safety in emergency situations:
- anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
- emergency 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,
in par ticular 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.
When braking in an emergency, pressvery firmly without releasing thepressure.


Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the STOPand ABSwarning lamps, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the screen, 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.

When replacing wheels (tyres andrims), ensure that they conform to themanufacturer's recommendations.
If this warnin
g lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signaland a message in the screen,
it indicates a malfunction of the anti-lock
braking system which could result in loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
In either case, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
