The electric window controls
remain operational for approxi-
mately 45 seconds after the
i gnition is switched off or until
the vehicle is locked after a door
is opened.
If one of the passenger windows
cannot be operated from the
driver's door control panel, carry
out the operation from the con-
trol panel of the passenger door
concerned, and vice versa.
After approximately ten consecutive
complete opening/closing move-
ments of the window, a protection
function is activated which only au-
thorises closing of the window to
prevent damage to the electric win-
dow motor.
Once the window is closed, the con-
trols will become available again af-
ter approximately 40 minutes.


If the window cannot be closed
(for example, in the presence of
ice), once the window has low-
ered:



press and hold the control
until the window opens fully,


then pull the control immedi-
ately and hold it until the win-
dow closes,


continue to hold the control
for approximately one sec-
ond after the window has
closed.

The safety anti-pinch func-
tion is not operational during
these operations.

There are two options:


- manual mode




Press or pull the control gently. The
window stops when the control is
released.

- automatic mode




Press or pull the control fi rmly.
The window opens or closes fully
when the control is released.

dow automatically to the low posi-
tion,


when the window has reached the
low position, press the control again
for approximately one second.

The safety anti-pinch function is not
operational during these operations.

If an obstacle is encountered
during operation of the electric
windows, you must reverse the
movement of the window. To
do this, press the control con-

CHILD SAFETY
137
For optimum installation of the "for-
ward-facing" child seat, ensure that
the back of the child seat is as close
as possible to the backrest of the ve-
hicle's seat , in contact if possible.
You mst remove the head restraint
before installing a child seat with
backrest to a passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is
stored or attached securely to pre-
vent it from being thrown around the
vehicle in the event of sharp brak-
ing. Refi t the head restraint when the
child seat is removed.







ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS

Installing a booster seat

Children at the front


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 harnesses 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 fi rm-
ly on the seat of your vehicle. If your
passenger seat is adjustable, move it
forwards if necessary.

The legislation on carrying children on
the front passenger seat is specifi c to
each country. Refer to the legislation
in force in your country.
Deactivate the passenger airbag
when a "rearward-facing" child seat
is installed on the front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were to infl ate.

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:


- a child or 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.
At rear seating positions, always
leave suffi cient space between the
front seat and:


- a "rearwards facing" child seat,

- the child's feet for a child seat fi t-
ted "forwards facing".
To do this, move the front seat for-
wards and, if necessary, move its
backrest into the upright position. To prevent accidental opening of the
doors and rear windows, 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.

Lateral airbags

System which protects the driver and
front passenger in the event of a seri-
ous side impact in order to limit the risk
of injury to the chest, between the hip
and the shoulder.
Each lateral airbag is fi tted in the seat
backrest frame, door side.

Deployment
The lateral airbags are deployed uni-
laterally 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 lateral airbag infl ates between the
hip and shoulder of the front occupant
of the vehicle and the corresponding
door trim panel.

A.
Front impact zone.

B.
Side impact zone.


Impact detection zones







Curtain airbags

System which protects 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 pil-
lars and the upper passenger compart-
ment 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 infl ates between the
front or rear occupant of the vehicle and
the windows.

Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel, accom-
panied by an audible signal and
a message in the screen, con-
tact 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.
In the event of a minor impact or
bump on the side of the vehicle
or if the vehicle rolls over, the air-
bag may not be deployed.
In the event of a rear or front col-
lision, the airbag is not deployed.
