Safety
In the event of a minor impact or bumpon the side of the vehicle or if thevehicle rolls over, the airbag may not bedeployed.In the event of a rear or front collision,the airbag is not deployed.
System which protects the driver and passengers (with the exception of therear centre passenger) in the event of
a serious side impact in order to limit the risk of
in
jury to the head.
Each curtain airbag is fitted in the pillars
and the upper section of the passenger compartment.
Curtain airbags
Deployment
The cur tain airbag is deployed at the same
time as the corresponding lateral airbag in the
event of a serious side impact applied to all or
par t of the side impact zone B , perpendicular
to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on ahorizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The cur tain airbag inflates between the front or rear occupant of the vehicle and the windows.

Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument
panel and this display appears in the instrument
panel screen, 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.

Safety
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a vehicle compromises the child's protection inthe event of an accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the child seat harnesses keeping the slackin relation to the child's body to a minimum
,
even for shor t journeys.
For optimum installation of the "for ward facing" child seat, ensure that the back of the child seat is in contact with the back of the vehicle's seat and that the head restraint does not cause any discomfort.
If the head restraint has to be removed,ensure that it is stored or attached securelyto prevent it from being thrown around the vehicle in the event of sharp braking.











Advice on child seats
Installing a booster seat
The chest par t 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, fitted with a seat beltguide at shoulder level.
As a safety precaution, do not leave: - one or more children alone and unsuper vised in a vehicle, - a child or an animal in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun, with the windowsclosed, - the keys within reach of children insidethe vehicle.To prevent accidental opening of the doors, use the "Child lock".Take care not to open the rear windows bymore than one third.To protect young children from the rays of the sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.

Children under the age of 10 must not travel in the "forward facing" position on the frontpassenger seat, unless the rear seats are already occupied by other children, cannot be used or are absent.
Deactivate the passenger's airbag when a
"rear facing" child seat is installed on thefront seat. Other wise, the child would risk being seriously injured or killed if the airbag were to inflate.

The batteries contain harmful substancessuch as sulphuric acid and lead. Theymust be disposed of in accordancewith regulations and must not, in any circumstances, be discarded withhousehold waste. Ta k e used remote control batteries andvehicle batteries to a special collection point.
Do not reverse the polarity and use only a 12 V charger. Do not disconnect the terminals while the engine is running. Do not charge the batteries without disconnecting the terminals first.Do not push the vehicle to star t the engine if it is fitted with a CVT gearbox.

It is advisable to disconnect the battery if the vehicle is to be left unused for more than one month.
Before disconnectingthe battery
Wait 2 minutes after switching off theignition before disconnecting the battery. Close the windows and the doors before disconnecting the battery.
Following reconnection of the battery
Following reconnection of the battery, switch on the ignition and wait 1 minutebefore starting to permit initialisation of theelectronic systems. However, if problemsremain following this operation, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

)Disconnect the battery from the vehicle, if necessary. )Follow the instructions for use provided by
the manufacturer of the charger.
)Reconnect starting with the negative
terminal (-). )Check that the terminals and connectors are clean. If they are covered with sulphate (whitish or greenish deposit), remove themand clean them.

03 NAVIGATION - GUIDANCE
The satellite navigation system guides the driver to the destination
that he has set in accordance with a chosen route.
Initiall
y, it searches for the destination required by the user, thenit calculates the route and fi nally it provides the visual and vocal guidance instructions.

A point of interest (POI) is represented by an icon on
the map, it represents an airport, a station, a town
hall, ... WHAT IS A POINT OF INTEREST
(POI)?
Up to 40 different icons ma
y be displayed (refer to the
section "Points of interest icon").
The
y are classifi ed in 5 groups and identifi ed by onecolour for each group:
-
Shops, fi nance and businesses (Green),
- Vehicles and travel
(Dark blue),
- Restaurants
(Orange),
- Public places and emer
gency services (Brown),
- Entertainment and attractions
(Blue).

GPS
(Global Positioning System) consists of severalsatellites arranged around the earth. They continuouslytransmit digital signals which travel at the speed of
light, on 2 different frequencies.

At any given time, the system receives its position
in relation to the satellites detected and the time of
transmission of the signal.
This enables the telematic unit to calculate its position
and therefore that of the vehicle.

A repositioning process using the map database storedon the hard disk allows the vehicle to be positionedon the road network, so improving the accuracy of the
vehicle location function.


















GPS SYSTEM
WHAT IS THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND GPS?
The system's measurements may be inaccurate if the vehicle is:
- in a tunnel or under
ground car park,
- underneath a two-level motorwa
y,
-
in an area with several very high buildings,
- surroun
ded by closely planted trees.
Depending on the vehicle's situation and the reception o
f the GPSinformation, the displayed information may disappear from the
screen temporarily.

WHAT PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE OBSERVED IN
ORDER TO MAKE BEST USE OF THE SYSTEM?

Do not place anything on or near the
GPS aerial.
Do not use an
y digital communication equipment (personalcomputers, etc.) near the GPS aerial.
Do not affi x an
y refl ective fi lms or fi lms containing carbon to the
windows.

GENERAL NOTES ON MP3/WMA CDs

AUDIO / VIDEO
WHAT IS THE MP3/WMA FILE FORMAT?

MP3 is the abbreviation of MPEG-1 Audio La
yer 3 and MPG is the abbreviation of Motion Pictures Experts Group, a digital video data compression standard used on mediasuch as video CDs.
The MP3 compression reduces the number o
f bytes in a song by
eliminating the long sound waves in the range of frequencies whichare imperceptible to the human ear, so producing high quality audio
fi les with a low volume of data.
This compression divides the size of the content of a conventional
audio CD by approximately 10, which means that the content of
10 audio CDs can be recorded onto a single CD-R or CD-RW.
WMA is the abbreviation o
f Windows Media Audio, another audio
data compression standard offered by Microsoft.
It can be used to create and save audio
fi les at a compression rate
higher than that of the MP3 format.
ACCEPTANCE OF THE FILES

Some blank CDs ma
y not be played by your equipment (quality,
recording speed...).
When
you burn a CD-R or CD-RW, select the ISO 9660 level 1.2 or Joliet burning standard.

To obtain the best acoustic quality possible, select the lowest
burning speed.
The MPE
G1 and MPEG2 standards are accepted.
Transmission s
peeds between 32 and 320 kbits/s and scans
between 16 kHz and 48 kHz are accepted.
To displa
y the title information (the name of the artist, the title of the
album, etc...), the information contained in the ID3 Tags or the WMA
Tags must be included in the MP3/WMA fi les burned onto the disc.
