Switch off the headlamps and front
foglamps when the level of light does
not require their use.
Avoid running the engine before moving
off, particularly in winter; your vehicle
will warm up much faster while driving.
As a passenger, if you avoid connecting
your multimedia devices (fi lm, music,
video game...), you will contribute to-
wards limiting the consumption of elec-
trical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices be-
fore leaving the vehicle.
Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle;
place the heaviest items in the bottom
of the boot, as close as possible to the
rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle
and reduce wind resistance (roof bars,
roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use
a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after
use.
At the end of winter, remove snow
tyres and refi t your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly,
when cold, referring to the label in the
door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
- before a long journey,
- at each change of season,
- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the
tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly
(engine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...) and ob-
serve the schedule of operations rec-
ommended by the manufacturer.
When refuelling, do not continue after
the third cut-off of the nozzle to avoid
any overfl ow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the fi rst 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption set-
tle down to a consistent average.

Additional adjustments
Head restraint height and angle
To raise a head restraint, pull it up-
wards.
To lower the head restraint, press
the lug A
and the head restraint at
the same time.
To adjust the angle of the head re-
straint, tilt its lower part forwards or

The head restraint is fi tted with
a frame with notches which pre-
vents it from lowering; this is a
safety device in case of impact.
The adjustment is correct
when the upper edge of the
head restraint is level with the
top of the head.
With the engine running, the front seats
can be heated separately.
Use the adjustment dial, placed on
the side of each front seat, to switch
on and select the level of heating re-

"ISOFIX" MOUNTINGS
There are three rings for each seat:
- two rings A
, located between the
vehicle seat back and cushion, indi-
cated by a marking,
- a ring B
, behind the seat and identi-
fi ed by a marking, referred to as the
TOP TETHER
for fi xing the upper
strap.
This ISOFIX mounting system provides
fast, reliable and safe fi tting of the child
seat in your vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats
are fi tted with
two latches which are secured on the
two rings A
.
Some seats also have an upper strap
,
which is attached to ring B
.
The incorrect installation of a
child seat in a vehicle compro-
mises the child's protection in
the event of an accident.
Follow strictly the fi tting instruc-
tions provided by with the child
seat.
For information on the possibilities for
installing ISOFIX child seats in your ve-
hicle, refer to the summary table.
When fi tting an ISOFIX child
seat to the left hand rear seat,
before fi tting the seat, fi rst move
the centre rear seat belt towards
the middle of the vehicle, so as
to avoid the seat interfering with
the operation of the seat belt.
Your vehicle has been approved in ac-
cordance with the latest
ISOFIX regu-
lation
.
The seats, represented below, are fi tted
with regulation ISOFIX mountings: To secure the child seat to the TOP
TETHER:
- remove and stow the head restraint
before installing the child seat on the
seat (refi t it once the child seat has
been removed),
- raise the carpet cover on the TOP
TETHER,
- pass the upper strap of the child seat
behind the seat backrest, between the
apertures for the head restraint rods,
- fi x the hook of the upper strap to the
ring B
,
- tighten the upper strap.

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.

Deactivation
Only the passenger's front airbag can
be deactivated:
insert the key in the passenger air-
bag deactivation switch,
turn it to the "OFF"
position,
then, remove the key keeping the
switch in the new position.
According to version, this warn-
ing lamp comes on in the in-
strument panel and/or in the
seat belt and passenger's front
airbag warning lamps display when the
ignition is on and until the airbag is re-
activated. To assure the safety of your
child, the passenger's front air-
bag 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 deployed.
Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, turn
the switch to the "ON"
position to re-
activate the airbag and so assure the
safety of your front passenger in the
event of an impact.
With the ignition on, this warn-
ing lamp comes on in the seat
belt and passenger's front air-
bag warning lamps display for
approximately one minute, if the pas-
senger's front airbag is activated.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel, 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 se-
rious impact.
