Lighting and visibility
4Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction of the rain/sunshine
sensor, the vehicle’s lamps come on and this
warning lamp is displayed on the instrument
panel, accompanied by an audible signal and/or
the display of a message.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Do not cover the rain/sunshine sensor
located at the top centre of the
windscreen behind the interior rear view
mirror; the associated functions would no
longer be controlled.
In fog or snow, the rain/sunshine sensor
may detect sufficient light. For this
reason, the lighting will not come on
automatically.
The inner surface of the windscreen may become misted up and affect the proper
operation of the rain/sunshine sensor.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.

Safety
5Make sure that the seat belt is correctly
positioned and tightened.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure that
the support leg is in firm and steady contact
with the floor.
Advice
An incorrectly installed child seat compromises the child's safety 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
harness of child seats, keeping the slack
relative to the child's body to a minimum,
even for short journeys.
When installing 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 the vehicle.
If the passenger seat is adjustable, move it
forwards if necessary.
Remove the head restraint before
installing a child seat with a backrest on a
passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from being
thrown around the vehicle in the event of
sharp braking. Refit the head restraint once
the child seat has been removed.
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.
Use a booster seat with backrest, equipped
with a belt guide at shoulder level.
Additional protections
To prevent accidental opening of the
doors and rear windows, use the "Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays of the
sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
–

a child alone and unattended 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.
Child seat at the rear
Row 2

Forward-facing or rearward-facing




► Move the vehicle's front seat forward and
straighten the backrest so that the legs of the
child in the forward-facing or rearward-facing
child seat itself do not touch the vehicle's front
seat.
►

Check that the backrest of the forward-facing
child seat is as close as possible to the backrest
of the vehicle's rear seat, and ideally in contact
with it.
►


Adjust the rear seat to the fully back
longitudinal position, with the backrest
straightened.
Ensure that the seat belt is correctly
tensioned.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure
that the support leg is in firm and steady
contact with the floor. If necessary, adjust the
vehicle's front seat.

Safety
Row 3

If a child seat is installed on a passenger seat in
the third row, move the seats in the second row
forward and straighten the backrests so that the
child seat and the child's legs do not touch the
seats in the second row.
Child seat at the front

► Adjust the front passenger seat to the
highest and fully back longitudinal position ,
with the backrest straightened.
"Forward facing"

You must leave the front passenger airbag active.
"Rearward facing"

The front passenger airbag must be deactivated before installing a rearward
facing child seat. Otherwise, the child risks
being seriously injured or killed if the
airbag is deployed .


Warning label - Front passenger airbag

You must comply with the following instruction,
as reminded by the warning label on both sides
of the passenger sun visor:
NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint
on a seat protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in
front of it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.
Deactivating the front
passenger airbag
To ensure the safety of the child, the front passenger airbag MUST be deactivated
when a "rearward facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child risks being seriously
injured or killed in the event of deployment of
the

airbag.
Vehicles not equipped with a
deactivation/reactivation control
Installing a "rearward
facing" child seat on the
front passenger seat or bench seat is strictly
prohibited - risk of death or serious injury in
the event of airbag deployment!
Deactivating/Reactivating the front
passenger airbag
For vehicles on which it is fitted, the switch is
located inside the glove box.


With the ignition off:
► To deactivate the airbag, turn the key in the
switch to the "OFF " position.

5Electric child lock
Remote control system to
prevent opening of the rear
doors (sliding side door(s), side-
hinged rear doors or tailgate
(depending on version)) using
their interior controls.
This control prevents the opening of the rear
doors using their interior handles and the use of
the rear electric windows.
Activation/Deactivation



► With the ignition on, press this button to
activate/deactivate the child lock.
A
message is displayed, confirming activation/
deactivation of the child lock.
When the indicator lamp is on, the child lock is
activated.
In the event of a serious impact, the
electric child lock is deactivated
automatically.
Any other status of the indicator lamp indicates a malfunction of the electric
child lock.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
With the child lock activated, it is still
possible to open the doors from outside.
This system is independent and in no circumstances does it take the place of
the central locking control.
Check the status of the child lock each time
you switch on the ignition.
Always keep the electronic key with you when
leaving the vehicle, even for a short time.
In the event of a serious impact, the electric
child lock is switched off automatically to
permit the exit of the rear passengers.
Child lock on rear

Driving
Brakes
Braking distances are increased when towing a
trailer. To avoid overheating the brakes, the use
of engine braking is recommended.
Side wind
Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more
susceptible to wind when towing.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The remote control contains an electronic chip
which has a special code. When the ignition is
switched on, this code must be recognised in
order for starting to be possible.
A few seconds after switching off the ignition,
this system locks the engine control system,
therefore preventing the engine from being
started in the event of a break-in.
In the event of a fault, you are informed
by illumination of this warning lamp, an
audible signal and a message on the screen.
The vehicle will not start; contact a CITROËN
dealer as soon as possible.

This function allows you to anticipate certain
situations, such as overtaking another vehicle or
approaching a bend in the road.
After a few seconds with no inputs via the control
paddles, the gearbox reverts to automatic
operation.
