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 with new keys.

of stopping it from working.
The remote control does not operate when the key is in the ignition, even when the ignition is switched off.

in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on board), remove the key from 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 immobiliser system, this could cause malfunctions.


When purchasing a second-hand vehicle

can start the vehicle.

CHILD SAFETY

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS

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.

CHILD LOCK



)
Lower the control A
to position 1
.

Child lock on

Child lock off


)
Raise the control A
to position 2
.

Mechanical system to prevent open-
ing of the rear doors using their interior
controls.
The control is located on the edge of
each rear door. The incorrect installation of a child
seat in a vehicle compromises the
child's protection in the event of an ac-
cident.
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 removed,
ensure that it is stored or attached se-
curely 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's airbag
when a "rear facing" child seat is in-
stalled on the front seat. Otherwise,
the child would risk being seriously
injured or killed if the airbag were to
infl ate.

SAFETY
109 If the airbag warning lamp and
the display come on continuously,
do not install a "rear facing" child
seat on the front passenger seat.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.

Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on on the
instrument panel and this display ap-
pears on the instrument panel screen,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop to have the system checked.
The airbags may no longer be deployed
in the event of a serious impact. To ensure the safety of your
child, the passenger's airbag
must be deactivated when you
install a "rear facing" child seat on
the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were triggered.
This warning lamp comes on in the cen-
tre console panel when the ignition is
on and until the airbag is reactivated.
Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, turn
switch A
to the "ON"
position to reacti-
vate the airbag and so ensure the safe-
ty of your front passenger in the event
of an impact.
The associated warning lamp goes off.
Deactivation
Only the front passenger's airbag can
be deactivated:


)
with the ignition off
, insert the key
in the passenger airbag deactiva-
tion switch A
,

)
turn it to the "OFF"
position,

)
remove the key.
