General points relating to
child seats
* The legislation on carrying children is specific to each country. Consult the current
legislation in your country.
Although one of CITROËN's main
considerations when designing your vehicle,
the safety of your children also depends on
you.
For maximum safety, please obser ve the
following recommendations:
-

i
n accordance with European regulations,
all children under the age of 12 or less
than one and a half metres tall must
travel in an approved child seat suited to
their weight and installed on a vehicle seat
fitted with a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings*,
-
s
tatistically, the safest seats in your
vehicle for carr ying children are the rear
seats,
-
a c
hild weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the rear ward facing position
both in the front and in the rear.
CITROËN recommends that children
should travel in the outer rear seats of
your vehicle:
-
R
ear ward facing up to the age of 3.
-
F
or ward facing from the age of 3.
Child seat at the rear
"Rearward facing"
When a "rear ward facing" child seat is
installed on a rear passenger seat
,
move the vehicle's front seat for ward
and straighten the backrest so that the
"rear ward facing" child seat does not
touch the vehicle's front seat.
"Forward facing"
Ensure that the seat belt is correctly
tensioned. For child seats with a support
leg, ensure that this is in firm contact with
t h e f l o o r.
When a "for ward facing" child seat is installed
on a rear passenger seat
, move the vehicle's
front seat for wards and straighten the backrest
so that the legs of the child in the "for ward
facing" child seat do not touch the vehicle's
front seat.

(d) When installing a child seat on a rear seat
in a rearward or forward-facing position,
move the front seat for ward then adjust
the backrest to an upright position to allow
enough room for the child seat and the
child's legs.
(e) When a "rear ward facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat , it
is essential to deactivate the passenger’s
airbag. Otherwise, the child would risk
being seriously injured or killed if the
airbag were deployed . When a "for ward
facing" child seat is installed on the front
passenger seat , the passenger's airbag
must remain activated. Remove and stow the head restraint
before installing a child seat with backrest
on a passenger seat. Refit the head
restraint once the child seat has been
removed.
(a)
Universal child seat: child seat which can
be installed in all vehicles using the seat
belt.
(b) Group 0: birth to 10
kg. Infant car seats
and car cots cannot be installed in the
front passenger seat.
(c) Refer to the current legislation in your
country before putting your child in this
seat. U:
Seat suitable for the installation of a
child seat secured using a seat belt and
universally approved, rearward facing and/
or forward facing.
X: Seat not suitable for the installation of a
child seat of the weight class indicated.

Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
For more information on Driving
recommendations, particularly when
towing, refer to the corresponding section.
Please observe the maximum authorised
towed weights, indicated on the
registration certificate or in your vehicle’s
technical data.
For more information on Weights (and the
towed loads which apply to your vehicle)
refer to the corresponding section.
Obser ve the legislation in force in the
country in which you are driving.Very cold climate
screen(s)
(Depending on the country of sale.)
Removable screen(s) which prevent snow
accumulating at the radiator cooling fan.
Depending on the version, you have one or two
screens.
Before fitting or removing a screen,
ensure that the engine is off and the
cooling fan has stopped.

Roof bars
For safety reasons and to avoid damaging
the roof, it is essential to use the
transverse bars listed for your vehicle.Maximum authorised weight on the roof
bars: 75
kg
.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the
speed of the vehicle to the profile of the
road to avoid damaging the roof bars and
the mountings on the roof.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in
order to comply with the regulations for
transporting objects that are longer than
the vehicle.
When fitting roof bars, use only the four fixing
points located in the roof frame. The points are
masked by the vehicle doors when closed.
The roof bar mountings include a stud to be
fitted to the hole at each fixing point.
Obser ve the fitting instructions and the
conditions of use in the guide supplied with the
bars.

Towing the vehicle
Access to the tools
General recommendations
Obser ve the legislation in force in your
c o u nt r y.
Ensure that the weight of the towing
vehicle is greater than that of the towed
vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of
the towed vehicle and must have a valid
driving licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground, always use an approved
towbar; rope and straps are prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When the vehicle is towed with its engine
off, there is no longer any braking or
steering assistance.
In the following cases, you must always
call on a professional recovery ser vice:
-
v

Engine technical data and
towed loads
Engines
The engine technical data are indicated in the
vehicle's registration document, as well as in
sales brochures.The maximum power corresponds to the
value type-approved on a test bed, under
conditions defined in European legislation
(Directive 1999/99/EC).
For more information, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Weights and towed loads
The maximum weights and towed loads for
your vehicle are indicated in the registration
document, as well as in sales brochures.
These values are also indicated on the
manufacturer's plate or label.
For more information, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop. The GTW values and the towed loads listed are
valid for a maximum altitude of 1,000
metres.
The towed load must be reduced by steps of
10% for each additional 1,000 metres.
The recommended nose weight is the vertical
load on the towbar ball (removable, with or
without tools).
GT W: Gross train weight.
High exterior temperatures may result
in a reduction in the per formance of the
vehicle to protect the engine. When the
exterior temperature is higher than 37°C,
limit the towed weight.
Towing using a lightly loaded vehicle can
adversely affect roadholding.
Braking distances are increased when
towing a trailer.
When using a vehicle to tow, never exceed
a speed of 60 mph (100 km/h) (obser ve
the local legislation in force). If the exterior temperature is high, it is
recommended that the engine be allowed
to idle for 1
to 2 minutes after the vehicle
comes to a stop, to facilitate its cooling.

Identification markings
The vehicle may be originally equipped
with tyres with higher load and speed
indices than those indicated on the label,
without affecting inflation pressure.Checking tyre pressures
The tyre pressures should be checked when
cold at least once a month.
The pressures indicated on the label are valid
for cold tyres. If you have driven for more than
10
minutes or more than 6 miles (10 kilometres)
at more than 30 mph (50 km/h), the tyres will be
warm; in this case 0.3 bar (30 kPa) should be
added to the pressures given on the label.
Never reduce the pressure of a warm tyre.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption.
Various visible markings for the identification of
your vehicle.
