odours and smoke from entering the passenger
compartment. This function also allows faster heating
or cooling of the air in the passenger
compartment. F

The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may inter fere with access to

The mats approved by CITROËN have two
fixings located below the seat.

Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the front
passenger airbag if it is deactivated, in the
event of a serious front impact to all or part
of the front impact zone A, in the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane
and directed from the front to the rear of the
vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the thorax
and head of the front occupant of the vehicle
and the steering wheel, driver's side, and the
dashboard, passenger's side, to cushion their
for ward movement.
Malfunction
If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, you must contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system
checked. The airbags may no longer
be deployed in the event of a serious
impact.
Lateral airbags
This system protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a severe side impact
to minimise the risk of injury to the chest,
between hip and shoulder.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest
frame, door side.
Deployment
The lateral airbag is deployed unilaterally in
the event of a severe side impact covering all
or part of side impact zone B , perpendicular to
the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The lateral airbag inflates between the hip
and shoulder of the front passenger and the
corresponding door trim panel.
Curtain airbags
This system contributes towards greater
protection for the driver and passengers (with
the exception of the rear centre passenger) in
the event of a serious side impact in order to
limit the risk of injury to the side of the head.
Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and
the upper passenger compartment area.
Deployment
The curtain airbag is deployed at the same
time as the corresponding lateral airbag in the
event of a serious side impact applied to all or
part of the side impact zone B , perpendicular
to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The curtain airbag inflates between the front or
rear occupant of the vehicle and the windows.
Malfunction
If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, you must contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system
checked.
The airbags may no longer be deployed in the
event of a serious impact.
In the event of a minor impact or bump on
the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle rolls
over, the airbags may not be deployed.
In the event of a rear or front collision,
none of the lateral airbags are deployed.

Advice
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's protection in
the event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle under the child seat, as this could
destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harness keeping the slack relative
to the child's body to a minimum, even for
short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened
correctly on the child seat and that it secures
the child seat firmly on the seat of your
vehicle. If your passenger seat is adjustable,
move it for wards if necessary.
At rear seating positions, always leave
sufficient space between the front seat and:
-
a "
rear ward facing" child seat,
-

t
he child's feet for a child seat fitted
"forward facing".
To do this, move the front seat for wards
and, if necessary, move its backrest into the
upright position.
For optimal installation of the "forward facing"
child seat, verify that its backrest is as close
as possible to the backrest of the vehicle
seat, if possible in contact with it. The head restraint must be removed
before installing a child seat with a
backrest on a passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from being
thrown around the vehicle in the event of
sharp braking. Refit the head restraint when
the child seat is removed.
Children in the front
The legislation on carrying children on the
front passenger seat is specific to each
country. Refer to the legislation in force in
your country.
Deactivate the front passenger airbag when a
"rear ward facing" child seat is installed on the
front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child risks being seriously
injured or killed if the airbag is deployed.
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.
We recommend using a booster seat with
a backrest equipped with a belt guide at
shoulder level.As a safety precaution, do not leave:
-
a c hild or children alone and unattended in
a vehicle,
-

a c
hild or an animal in a vehicle under the
sun, with the windows closed,
-

t
he keys within the reach of children inside
the vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the doors
and rear windows, use the child lock.
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays of the
sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.

Never try to charge a frozen battery – risk
of explosion!
If the battery has frozen, have it checked
by a CITROËN dealer or by a qualified
workshop who will check that the internal
components have not been damaged and
that the container has not cracked, which
would mean a risk of toxic and corrosive
acid leaking. If this label is present, it is essential to
use only a 12 V charger to avoid causing
irreversible damage to the electrical
components related to the Stop & Start
system.
Disconnecting the battery
In order to maintain an adequate state
of charge for starting the engine, it is
recommended that the battery be disconnected
if the vehicle is taken out of ser vice for a long
period. Before disconnecting the battery:
F

sunroof),
F

system, wipers, lighting, etc.),
F
s
witch off the ignition and wait for four

be possible if the clamp is not positioned
correctly; start the procedure again.
Following reconnection of the battery
After reconnecting the battery, turn on the
ignition and wait 1 minute before starting
the engine, in order to enable the electronic
systems to initialise.
In the event of a breakdown

For right-hand drive vehicles, when the
total distance recorder has reached
37 miles (60 km), it is necessary to wait
around 15
minutes before starting the
engine.
However, if minor problems persist following
this operation, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section, you
must yourself reinitialise or reset certain
systems, such as:

-

t

he electric windows,
-

t

he preset radio stations. The Stop & Start system may not be
operational during the trip following the
first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be
available again after a continuous
period of immobilisation of the vehicle,
a period which depends on the exterior
temperature and the state of charge of the
battery (up to about 8
hours).To w i n g
