"ISOFIX" mountings
Row 2
* On some versions, the central seat is not
equipped with ISOFIX mountings.
The vehicle has been approved in accordance
with the latest ISOFIX regulation.
If fitted on the vehicle, the regulation ISOFIX
mountings are identified by labels.
There are three rings for each seat:
–
T
wo front rings A, located between the vehicle
seat backrest and cushion, indicated by an
"ISOFIX" marking,
–
If fitted to your vehicle, a rear ring
B, located
behind the vehicle's seat, called Top Tether, for
securing the upper strap, indicated by a "Top
Tether" marking.
The Top Tether secures the upper strap of child
seats fitted with them. In case of frontal impact, this device limits the extent to which the child
seat can tilt forward.
This ISOFIX mounting system provides fast,
reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in the
vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats are fitted with two
latches which are secured on the two front
rings
A.
Some child seats also have an upper strap which
is attached to rear ring B.
To secure the child seat to the Top Tether:
– remove and stow the head restraint before
installing a child seat on this seat (refit it once
the child seat has been removed),
–
pass the strap
of the child seat over the top
of the seat backrest, centring it between the
openings for the head restraint rods,
–
attach the hook of the upper strap to rear
ring
B,
–
tighten the upper strap.

Driving
6Driving recommendations
► Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
►
Monitor your environment and keep your
hands on the wheel to be able to react to
anything that may happen any time.
►
Drive smoothly
, anticipate the need for
braking and maintain a longer safety distance,
especially in bad weather.
►
Stop the vehicle before performing operations
that require sustained attention (e.g.
settings).
►
During long trips, take a break every 2 hours.
Important!
Never leave the engine running in a
closed space without sufficient
ventilation. Internal combustion engines emit
toxic exhaust gases such as carbon
monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death!
In very severe wintry conditions
(temperature below -23°C), let the engine
run for 4 minutes before moving off, to ensure
the correct operation and durability of the
mechanical components of your vehicle
(engine and gearbox).
Never drive with the parking brake
applied . Risk of overheating and
damaging the braking system!
Never park the vehicle and never
leave the engine running on a
flammable surface (e.g.
dry grass, dead
leaves).The vehicle exhaust system is very
hot, even several minutes after the engine
stops. Risk of fire!
Never drive on surfaces covered with
vegetation (e.g. tall grass,
accumulated dead leaves, crops, debris)
such as a field, a country lane overgrown
with bushes or a grassy verge.
This vegetation could come into contact with
the vehicle's exhaust system
or other systems
which are very hot. Risk of fire!
Make sure you do not leave any item in
the passenger compartment which could
act like a magnifying glass under the effect of
the sun's rays and cause a fire. Risk of fire or
damage to interior surfaces!
Never leave the vehicle unattended,
with the engine running . If you have to
leave your vehicle with the engine running,
apply the parking brake and put the gearbox
into neutral or position N or P (depending on
the type of gearbox).
Never leave children inside the vehicle
unsupervised.
On flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage to the
engine or gearbox, as well as to your vehicle's
electrical systems.
If the vehicle absolutely must drive through a
flooded section of road:
►
Check that the depth of the water does not
exceed 15
cm, taking account of waves that
might be generated by other users.
►
Deactivate the Stop & Start function.
►
Drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In
all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10
km/h).
►
Do not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety
conditions allow
, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt about the state of your vehicle,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

With an automatic gearbox, never try to
start the engine by pushing the vehicle.
Automatic operation
► Select position D for automatic
changing of the gears.
The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any intervention on the part of the
driver. It continuously selects the most suitable
gear according to the driving style, the road
profile and the load in the vehicle.
► For maximum acceleration without
touching the selector , fully depress the
accelerator pedal (kick-down).
The gearbox changes down automatically or
holds the gear selected until the maximum
engine speed is reached.
When braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide effective engine braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, the
gearbox will not shift to a higher gear for safety
reasons.
Never select position N while the vehicle
is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless the
vehicle is completely stationary.
Temporary manual control
of gear changes
You can temporarily assume control of gear
changing using the " +" et "-” steering-mounted
controls. The gear change request will be
executed if the engine speed permits.
