Recommendations for use
If the interior temperature remains very high after a prolonged period parked in the sun, first ventilate  the  passenger  compartment  for  a  few  minutes.
For
 an  even  air  distribution,  make  sure  that  you  do  not  block  the  outside  air  inlet  grille,  the Â
v
ents,  the  air  passages  and  the  air  outlets  to  the  footwells.
Ensure
 that  the  passenger  compartment  filter,  located  behind  the  glove  box  in  the  heater Â
u
nit,  is  in  good  condition.  Have  the  filter  elements  replaced  regularly.  If  you  drive  in  dusty Â
c
onditions,  change  them  twice  as  often.
Operate
 the  air  conditioning  system  for  5  to  10  minutes,  once  or  twice  a  month,  to  keep  it  in Â
p
er fect  working  order.
In
 order  to  ensure  that  your  air  conditioning  system  continues  to  operate  correctly,  you  are Â
a
dvised  to  have  it  checked  regularly.
If
 the  system  does  not  produce  cold  air,  do  not  use  it  and  contact  a  CITROËN  dealer  or  a Â
q
ualified
 w
orkshop.
The
 air  conditioning  system  does  not  contain  chlorine  and  does  not  present  any  danger  to Â
t
he  ozone  layer.
The
 condensation  created  by  the  air  conditioning  results  in  a  flow  of  water  under  the  vehicle Â
w
hen  stationary  which  is  per fectly  normal.

Electronic stability control (ESC)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
These systems improve the stability and manoeuvrability  of  your  vehicle  when  braking Â
a
nd  contribute  towards  better  control  in Â
c
orners,  in  particular  on  poor  or  slippery  road Â
su
rfaces.
The
 ABS  prevents  wheel  lock  in  the  event  of Â
em
ergency
 b
raking.
The
 electronic  brake  force  distribution  system Â
m
anages  the  braking  pressure  wheel  by  wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
In an emergency, this system enables you to reach  the  optimum  braking  pressure  more Â
q
uickly  and  therefore  reduce  the  stopping Â
di
stance.
It
 is  triggered  according  to  the  speed  at  which Â
t
he  brake  pedal  is  pressed.  This  is  felt  by  a Â
r
eduction  in  the  resistance  of  the  pedal  and  an Â
i
ncrease  in  the  effectiveness  of  the  braking.
Traction control (TRC)
This system optimises traction in order to limit wheel  slip  by  acting  on  the  brakes  of  the  driving Â
w
heels  and  on  the  engine.  It  also  improves Â
t
he  directional  stability  of  the  vehicle  on Â
a
cceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path followed  by  the  vehicle  and  that  required  by  the Â
d
river,  this  system  monitors  each  wheel  and Â
a
utomatically  acts  on  the  brake  of  one  or  more Â
w
heels  and  on  the  engine  to  return  the  vehicle Â
t
o  the  required  path,  within  the  limits  of  the  laws Â

The incorrect installation of a child seat in a vehicle  compromises  the  child's  protection  in Â
t
he  event  of  an  accident.
Check
 that  there  is  no  seat  belt  or  seat  belt Â
b
uckle  under  the  child  seat  as  this  could Â
de
stabilise
 i
t.
Remember
 to  fasten  the  seat  belts  or  the Â
c
hild  seat  harnesses  keeping the slack in
relation
 to  the  child's  body  to a minimum,
even
 for  short  journeys.
For
 the  installation  of  a  child  seat  using  a Â
s
eat  belt,  ensure  that  this  is  well  tensioned Â
o
n  the  child  seat  and  that  it  is  holding  the Â
c
hild  seat  firmly  against  the  seat  of  your Â
v
ehicle.  If  your  front  passenger  seat  is Â
a
djustable,  move  it  for ward  if  necessary.
At the rear seats, always leave sufficient
space
 between  the  front  seat  and:
-
Â
a
 rear ward  facing  child  seat,
-
Â
t
he  feet  of  a  child  seated  in  a  for ward Â
f
acing  child  seat.
For
 this,  move  the  front  seat  for ward  and  if Â
n
ecessary  straighten  its  backrest.
Recommendations on child seats
The chest part of the seat belt must be positioned  on  the  child's  shoulder  without Â
t
ouching  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 Â
s
eat  which  has  a  back,  fitted  with  a  seat  belt Â
g
uide  at  shoulder  level.
As
 a  safety  precaution,  never  leave:
-
Â
