Do not throw the remote control batteries away, they contain metals which are harmful to the environment.
Take them to an approved collection point. Keys
Make a careful note of the number of each key. This number is
coded on the label attached to the key.
If the keys are lost, a CITROËN dealer can supply you wit h new keys.
Remote control
The high frequency remote control is a sensitive system; do not o perate it while it is in your pocket as there is a possibility
that it may unlock the vehicle, without you being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons of your remote control out of range and out of sight of your vehicle.
You run the risk of stopping it from working. The remote contro l does not operate when the key is in the ignition, even when
the ignition is switched off.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compart ment by the emergency services more diffi cult
in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on board), remove the key fro m the ignition when you leave the vehicle, even for a
short time.
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifi cations to the electronic engine immobi liser system, this could cause malfunctions.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have the key codes memorised by a CITROËN dealer, to ensure that the keys in your possession are the only ones which
can start the vehicle.

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 in relation to the child’s body to a
minimum, even for short journeys.
For optimum installation of the “for-
ward 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 re-
moved, ensure that it is stored or at-
tached securely to prevent it from be-
ing 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.
Disarm the passenger air bag when
a “rear facing” child seat is installed
on the front seat. Otherwise, the child
would risk being seriously injured or
killed if the air bag were to infl ate. 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 un-
supervised 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.
For information regarding the ISOFIX
child seats which can be installed in
your vehicle, consult the summary
table for the location of the ISOFIX
child seats.
“ISOFIX” MOUNTINGS
These are three rings for each seat:
- two rings
A , located between the
vehicle seat back and cushion,
indicated by a label,
- a ring B , used to fi x the upper strap,
referred to as the TOP TETHER ,
indicated by a label. This ISOFIX mounting system guaran-
tees you fast, reliable and safe fi tting of
the child seat in your vehicle.
The
ISOFIX child seats are fi tted with
two locks which are secured easily on
the two rings A .
Some also have an upper strap which
is attached to the ring
B .
To attach this strap, remove the vehi-
cle seat’s head restraint. Then fi x the
hook on the ring B and tighten the up-
per strap.
Your vehicle has been approved in ac-
cordance with the
new ISOFIX regula-
tion .
The seats, represented below, are fi tted
with regulation ISOFIX mountings:

Wherever you are seated in the ve-
hicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even for short journeys.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles as
they will not fulfi l their role fully.
The seat belts are fi tted with an inertia
reel permitting automatic adjustment of
the length of the strap to your size. The
seat belt is stored automatically when not
in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat
belt is rolled up correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be posi-
tioned as low as possible on the pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fi tted with an auto-
matic locking device which comes into
operation in the event of a collision,
emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls
over. You can release the device by pull-
ing rapidly on the strap and releasing it. Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years old
or shorter than one metre fi fty.
Never use the same seat belt to
secure more than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your
lap.
In order to be effective, a seat belt:
- must be tightened as close to the
body as possible,
- must restrain one person of adult size only,
- must not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
- must be pulled in front of you with a smooth movement, checking
that it does not twist,
- must not be transformed or modifi ed to avoid altering its
performance.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, all repairs and checks
must be carried out by a CITROËN
dealer who guarantees that the work
is carried out correctly.
Have your seat belts checked regu-
larly by a CITROËN dealer and par-
ticularly if the straps show signs of
damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product,
sold by CITROËN dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt
is positioned and rolled up correctly.
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impacts , the pre-
tensioning device may be triggered
before and independently of the air
bags. Triggering of the pre-tensioners
is accompanied by a slight discharge
of harmless smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the air bag warning light
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat
belts system checked, and if neces-
sary replaced, by a CITROËN dealer.
