165Child safety




Advice on child seats

The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's protection
in the event of an accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harnesses keeping the slack
relative to the child's body to a minimum,
even for shor t journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened
correctly on the child seat and that it
secures the child seat firmly on the seat
of your vehicle. If your passenger seat is
adjustable, move it for wards if necessary.
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 discomfor t.
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 "for wards-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 wards-facing" child seat is installed on
the front seat.
Other wise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag were
to inflate.

Installing a booster seat

The chest par t 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, fitted with a
seat belt guide at shoulder level.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:


- a child or children alone and
unsuper vised 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
and rear windows, use the "Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays of
the sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.

Safety

Deactivation

Only the passenger's front airbag can be
deactivated:


)
with the ignition off
, inser t the key in the
passenger airbag deactivation switch,

)
turn it to the "OFF"
position,

)
then, remove the key keeping the switch in
the new position.
According to version, this warning
lamp comes on in the instrument
panel and/or in the seat belt and
passenger's front airbag warning lamps display
when the ignition is on and until the airbag is
reactivated. To assure the safety of your child,
the passenger's front airbag must
be deactivated when you install a
"rear facing" child seat on the front
passenger seat.
Other wise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were deployed.


Reactivation

When you remove the child seat, turn the
switch to the "ON"
position to reactivate the
airbag and so assure the safety of your front
passenger in the event of an impact.

With the ignition on, this warning
lamp comes on in the seat belt and
passenger's front airbag warning
lamps display for approximately one
minute, if the passenger's front airbag
is activated.


Operating fault

If this warning lamp flashes in the
instrument panel and/or in the
seat belt and passenger's front
airbag warning lamps display, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. The
passenger's front airbag may no longer be
deployed in the event of a serious impact.
If even one of the two airbag warning
lamps comes on continuously, do not
install a child seat on the front passenger
seat.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by
an audible warning and a message
in the screen, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the system checked.
The airbags may no longer be deployed in the
event of a serious impact.

Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The
engine restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.


Operation


Going into engine STOP mode

With the electronic gearbox system,
for your comfort during parking
maoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as
braking, power steering, for example.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key. The "ECO"
warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby:


- with a manual gearbox
, at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h), when you put the gear
lever into neutral and release the clutch
pedal,

- with the 6-speed electronic gearbox
system
, at a speed below 5 mph (8 km/h),
when you press the brake pedal or put the
gear lever into position N
.
If your vehicle is fitted with the
system, a time counter calculates
the sum of the periods in STOP
mode during a journey. It resets
itself to zero every time the ignition
is switched on with the key. STOP mode is not invoked when:


- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,

- the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10 km/h) since the last engine star t
using the key,

- the electric parking brake is applied or
being applied,

- the engine is needed to maintain a
comfor table temperature in the passenger
compartment,

- demisting is active,

- some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed to assure control of a system.


Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
In this case, the "ECO"
warning lamp
flashes for a few seconds, then goes
off.

This operation is per fectly normal.
