Electrical control
From the driver’s seat position, the controls siutated on the door enable the vehicle’s electric win-dows to be actioned.
Note : The windows can also be operated for a short time after the ignition has been switched off (including after the front doors have been opened).
Sequential control
An action to the fi rst notch on the control starts a window movement which stops when the control is released. A press for about one second on the control will close or open the window fully, a further press will stop the movement.
PAY ATTENTION TO WHERE CHILDREN ARE WHEN OPERATING THE ELECTRIC WINDOWS.
Always remove the key from the ignition when leaving the vehicle, even for a short time.
When the driver is actioning the controls for the passenger win dows, he must make sure that no-one is obstructing the windows from lo sing properly.
The driver should ensure that the passengers use the windows cor-rectly.
If any person should be at risk of becoming trapped by the operation of the windows, you must reverse the movement of the glass. For t hat, reverse the position of the control concerned.
This is for deactivating operation of the electric windows and opening of the rear doors from the rear seat positions. It is activated by a press on the control A located on the window control panel or by an action on the locks of the rear doors. The warning lamp in the instrument panel comes on temporarily. Each time you switch on the ignition, the warning lamp lights up for a short time.
It is still possible to open the doors from the outside and to operate the rear windows from the front seat positions.
Anti-pinch
An anti-pinch device will stop the glass from rising. If it meet s an obstacle, it goes back down.
After a battery disconnection or following a malfunction, you have to re-initialise theanti-pinch function for each window :
- Use the control to open the window fully, then attempt to close it. It will rise only a few centimetres.
- Pull again on the control until the window closes fully. Once the window is closed, sustain the press on the control for one second.
Warning : During this operation, the anti-pinch protection is inoperat ive.

GENERAL POINTS ON CHILD
SEATS
CITROËN offers you a complete range of child seats that can be secured by means of the vehicle seat belt. These child seats have been tested on vehicles in collision conditions and they guarantee maximum safety for your children. They have also been selected for their ease of installation as well as for the comfort of the child.
In all cases, be sure to follow the child seat fi tting instructions as de-tailed in the installation manual pro-vided by the seat manufacturer.
GROUP 0+: from birth to 13 kg (around 1 year old)
In the front passenger seat posi-tion, it is essential to deactivate the front airbag. Otherwise the child risks being killed or seriously injured should the airbag deploy.
Römer Baby-Safe(L1): rear-fac-ing, for use with a three-point seat belt. The deep, reinforced shell is designed to provide the maximum protection to the child in the event of a lateral impact.
GROUPS 1/2/3 (from 9 to 36 kg)
Kiddy Life(L4): for use with a three-point seat belt. The height and width of the backrest as well as the length of the seat cushion should be adjusted as a function of the age and girth of your child. For the safety of young children (from 9 to 18 kg), CITROËN rec-For the safety of young children For the safety of young children
ommends you to use the protec-tion apron.
Other child seats are recommend-ed : see ISOFIX child seats in the handbook. See “Child restraints”.The majority of serious injuries resulting from accidents occur when a child either is not secured or is secured incorrectly.
It is essential to adhere to the child seat fi tting instructions as detailed in the installation man-ual provided by the seat manu-facturer. ISOFIX child seats are particularly recommended for their ease and safety of use.
GROUPS 2/3 (from 15 to 36 kg)

Regulations for the carriage of children in the front passenger seat position
If the child is travelling in a rear-facing child seat, it is essential to deactivate the passenger's front airbag. Otherwise the child risks being killed or seriously injured should the airbag deploy.
In the front passenger's seat, chil-dren less than 10 years of age must not be carried “forward-fac-ing”, except if:
- The rear seats are occupied by other children.
- The rear seats cannot be used (if they are folded or not present).
If your child is travelling forward-facing in the front passenger seat position, slide the front passenger seat to an intermediate position and leave the airbag activated.
For maximum safety, consult the relevant authority in your country to know the rules for transporting children, and observe the following rec-ommendations :
- Children should not be left alone in the vehicle.
- In accordance with the European Directive, all children under the age of 12 or smaller than 1.5 metres must be carried in approved child seats adapted for their age and weight, in seat positions equipped with a seat belt or ISOFIX anchoring points. Check that the child seat is in compliance with current legislation, ensuring that it bears an orange label featuring the range of weights for which it is suitable as well as its approval number.
- It is compulsory for a child weighing less than 9 kg to be trans-ported in the rear-facing position.
- Statistically, the safest seats for the carrying of children are the rear seats.
CITROËN recommends that you install your child in the rear of t he vehicle, even when using a rear-facing child seat.
- Children must not under any pretext be carried on the knees of a pas-senger (risk of being thrown against the dashboard or windscreen in the event of a collision).
- Children must not be allowed to stand between the backrests of the front seats (risk of being thrown forwards in the event of sudden brak-ing or a collision).
- The rear doors are fi tted with a «Child Safety» locking device. This still allows the doors to be opened from the outside unless they h ave been centrally locked.
Each time you switch on the ignition, check that this device i s acti-vated.
- Never leave a child in a vehicle which is exposed to sunshine.
- Before opening a door, ensure that it is safe to do so.
- When leaving your vehicle, remove the ignition key and fi rmly a pply the parking brake.
- Do not leave the key in the vehicle, as children could lock themselves in using the remote control or by pressing the central locking b utton.
