ACCESS














Lost keys

Visit a CITROËN dealer with the ve-
hicle's registration document, your
personal identifi cation documents
and if possible the key code label.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to
look up the key code and the tran-
sponder code required to order a
new key.


Remote control

The high frequency remote control
is a sensitive system; do not operate
it while it is in your pocket as there
is a possibility that it may unlock the
vehicle, without you being aware
of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons
of your remote control out of range
and out of sight of your vehicle. You
run the risk of stopping it from work-
ing and the remote control would
have to be reinitialised.
The remote control does not operate
when the key is in the ignition switch,
even when the ignition is switched
off, except for reinitialisation.


Locking the vehicle

Driving with the doors locked may
make access to the passenger com-
partment by the emergency services
more diffi cult in an emergency.
However, the vehicle unlocks auto-
matically in the event of a serious
impact causing airbag deployment.
As a safety precaution (with children
on board), remove the key from the
ignition switch when you leave the
vehicle, even for a short time.


Anti-theft protection

Do not make any modifi cations to
the electronic engine immobiliser
system; this could cause malfunc-
tions.


When purchasing a second-
hand vehicle
Have the pairing of all of the keys
in your possession checked by a
CITROËN dealer, to ensure that
only your keys can be used to open
and start the vehicle.







Do not throw the remote con-
trol batteries away, they contain
metals which are harmful to the
environment.
Take them to an approved collection
point.

CHILD SAFETY
Although one of CITROËN's main
criteria when designing your vehicle,
the safety of your children also de-
pends on you.
For maximum safety, please observe
the following recommendations:


- in accordance with European
regulations, all children under
the age of 12 or less than one
and a half metres tall must
travel in approved child seats
suited to their weight
, on seats
fi tted with a seat belt or ISOFIX
mountings * ,

- statistically, the safest seats in
your vehicle for carrying chil-
dren are the rear seats,


- a child weighing less than 9 kg
must travel in the "rearwards-
facing" position both in the
front and in the rear.



CITROËN recommends
that
children should travel in the rear
seats
of your vehicle:


- "rearwards-facing"
up to the
age of 2,

- "forwards-facing"
over the
age of 2.

"Rearwards-facing"
When a "rearwards-facing" child
seat is installed on the front pas-
senger seat
, it is essential that the
passenger airbag is deactivated.
Otherwise, the child would risk
being seriously injured or killed if
the airbag were to infl ate
.

*
The rules for carrying children are
specifi c to each country. Refer
to the current legislation in your
country.

GENERAL POINTS RELATINGTO CHILD SEATS


Intermediate longitudinal
position

"Forwards-facing"
When a "forwards-facing" child seat
is installed on the front passenger
seat
, adjust the vehicle's seat to the
intermediate longitudinal position
with the seat back upright and leave
the passenger airbag activated.

CHILD SAFETY


Passenger airbag OFF
Refer to the advice given on the label
present on both sides of the passen-
ger's sun visor.

To assure the safety of your child, you must deactivate the passen-
ger's front airbag when you install a child seat in the rearwards facing
position on the front passenger's seat.
Otherwise, there is a risk that the child could be seriously injured or killed
if the airbag were deployed.

CHILD SAFETY
ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS


Installing a booster seat
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:


- one or more children alone and
unsupervised 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.
To prevent accidental opening of the
doors, 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.

The incorrect installation of a child
seat in a vehicle compromises the
child's protection in the event of an
accident.
When installing a child seat using the
seat belt, check that the seat belt is
tightened correctly on the child seat
and that it secures the child seat
fi rmly on the seat of your vehicle.
Remember to fasten the seat belts
or the child seat harnesses keeping
the slack
in relation to the child's
body to a minimum, even for short
journeys.
For optimum installation of the "for-
wards-facing" child seat, ensure that
the back of the child seat is in con-
tact 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 re-
moved, ensure that it is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from
being thrown around the vehicle in
the event of sharp braking.
Children under the age of 10 must
not travel in the "forwards-facing"
position on the front passenger seat,
unless the rear seats are already oc-
cupied by other children, cannot be
used or are absent.
Deactivate the passenger airbag *
when a "rearwards-facing" child
seat is installed on the front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk be-
ing seriously injured or killed if the
airbag were to infl ate.
*
According to country and current
local legislation.
