ALARM
I f fi t t e d o n y o u r v e h i c l e , t h i s p r o v i d e s
two types of protection:
- exterior protection: it sounds if a d o o r , t h e t a i l g a t e o r t h e b o n n e t i s
opened.
- interior protection: it sounds if the volume inside the passenger
c o m p a r t m e n t c h a n g e s ( b r e a k i n g o f
a window or a movement inside the
vehicle).
A red indicator light, located in the
centre of the fascia, indicates the
i n f o r m a t i o n d e t a i l e d b e l o w .
To lock your vehicle without setting the
alarm, insert the key in the lock then
lock the vehicle (e.g. for washing).
When the alarm is triggered, the siren
sounds and the direction indicator lights
fl a s h f o r t h i r t y s e c o n d s .
Warning - alarm triggered: the red indicator
l i g h t fl a s h e s r a p i d l y , i n s e r t t h e k e y a n d

W h e n t h e a l a r m h a s b e e n t r i g g e r e d t e n
times in succession (on the eleventh time)
the alarm is deactivated. Repeat the rules
for setting the alarm.
- Close the sunroofs,
- Switch off the ignition,
- In the next ten seconds, press b u t t o n A , located on the left-hand
side of the fascia, until the red
indicator light is on continuously,
- Get out of the vehicle,

To set the alarm with exterior
protection only
If, while you are away from the vehicle,
you wish to leave a window partially
open or a pet inside the vehicle, you
should choose exterior protection only.
Incorrect operation
When the ignition is switched on, if the red
indicator light remains on for ten seconds,
there is a fault in the siren connection.
Consult a CITROËN dealer to have the
system checked.
Automatic setting of the alarm
I f fi t t e d o n y o u r v e h i c l e , t h e a l a r m i s s e t
automatically 2 minutes after the last
door or the tailgate is closed.
To prevent triggering of the alarm when
a door or the tailgate is opened, it is
imperative to press the remote control

Child safety
ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
The incorrect installation of a child seat
in a vehicle compromises the child's
p r o t e c t i o n i n t h e e v e n t o f a n a c c i d e n t .
Remember to fasten the seat belts or
the child seat harnesses keeping the
slack in relation to the child's body to a
minimum , e v e n f o r s h o r t j o u r n e y s .
To protect young children from the
r a y s o f t h e s u n , fi t s i d e b l i n d s t o
t h e r e a r w i n d o w s .
CHILD MONITORING MIRROR
This mirror enables the driver or front
passenger to observe all the rear
s e a t s .
Fitted on its own ball joint and able to
retract into its housing in the roof, it
provides a panoramic view of the rear
i n t e r i o r o f t h e v e h i c l e .
For optimum installation of the "forward
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
r e s t r a i n t d o e s n o t c a u s e a n y d i s c o m f o r t .
If the head restraint has to be removed,
ensure that it is stored or attached
securely to prevent it from being
thrown around the vehicle in the event
o f s h a r p b r a k i n g .
Children under the age of 10 must not
travel in the "forward facing" position
on the front passenger seat, unless
the rear seats are already occupied by
other children, cannot be used or are
a b s e n t .
Disarm the passenger air bag when a
"rear facing" child seat is installed on
t h e f r o n t s e a t .
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the air bag
w e r e t o i n fl a t e . 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 i n s i d e t h e v e h i c l e .
To prevent accidental opening of the
d o o r s , u s e t h e " C h i l d L o c k " .
Take care not to open the rear windows
b y m o r e t h a n o n e t h i r d .
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must
be positioned on the child's shoulder
w i t h o u t t o u c h i n g t h e n e c k .
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
