ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
Installing a booster seat
Children at the frontThe 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
 
installin
g  
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

  forwards   if   necessary.
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
 
passenger
 
airbag
 
when

 
a
 
"rearward-facing"
 
child
 
seat
 
is

  installed   on   the   front   seat.
Otherwise,
 
the
 
child
 
would
 
risk
 
being
 
seriously

 
injured
 
or
 
kille
d  
if
 
the
 
airbag
 
were

  to   inflate.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

prevent
 
accidental
 
opening
 
of
 
the

replacing
 
wheels
 
(tyres
 
and rims),

Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which  improve  the  sta -
bility  and  manoeuvrability  of  your  vehicle when

 
braking,
 
in
 
particular
 
on
 
poor
 
or slippery

  surfaces.
Activation
The
 
anti-lock
 
braking
 
system
 
comes
 
into

 
operation
 
automatically
 
when
 
there
 
is

  a   risk   of   wheel   lock.
Normal
 
operation
 
of
 
the
 
ABS
 
may
 
make
 
itself

 
felt
 
by
 
slight
 
vibration
 
of
 
the
 
brake
 
pedal. Operating fault
If
 
this
 
warning
 
lamp
 
comes
 
on,
 
accompanied

 
by
 
an
 
audible
 
signal

 
and
 
a
 
message
 
in
 
the
 
screen,

 
it
 
indicates
 
a
 
malfunc
-
tion  
of
 
the
 
anti-lock
 
braking
 
system
 
which

 
could
 
result
 
in
 
loss
 
of
 
control
 
of
 
the

  vehicle   when   braking.
If  
this
 
warning
 
lamp
 
comes
 
on, together

 
with
 
the
 
ST
OP  
and ABS

 
warning
 
lamps,
 
accompa
-
nied  
by
 
an
 
audible
 
signal
 
and a

 
message
 
in
 
the
 
screen,
 
it
 
indicates
 
a malfunction

 
of
 
the
 
electronic
 
brake
 
force distribution

 
which
 
could
 
result
 
in
 
loss
 
of control

  of   the   vehicle   when   braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Emergency braking assistance
System which,  in  an  emergency ,  en -
ables  you  to  obtain  the  optimum  braking pressure

 
more
 
quickly
,  
thus
 
reducing
 
the stopping

  distance.
Activation
It
 
is
 
triggered
 
by
 
the
 
speed
 
at
 
which
 
the
 
brake

  pedal   is   pressed.
The
 
ef
fect  
of
 
this
 
is
 
a
 
reduction
 
in
 
the
 
resistance

 
of
 
the
 
pedal
 
and
 
an
 
increase
 
in

  braking   efficiency.
In either case, contact a CITR
o
Ë
n

dealer
 
or
 
a
 
qualified
 
workshop.
