Advice on child seats


The incorrect installation of a child seat in a vehicle compromises the child's protectionin the event of an accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the child seat harness keeping the slackin relation to the child's body to a minimum , even for shor t journeys.
To install a child seat using the vehicle'sseat belt, ensure that the belt is welltightened on the child seat and that it holdsthe child seat firmly against the vehicle's seat. If your passenger seat is adjustable,move it forward if necessary.
For optimum installation of the "for ward facing" child seat, ensure that the back of the child seat is as close as possible tothe back of the vehicle's seat, in contact if possible.


Children at the front
The legislation on carrying a child on the front passenger seat is specific to each country.
Refer to the current legislation in your country.
Deactivate the passenger airbag when a "rearward facing" child seat is installed on the front seat. Otherwise the child risksbeing seriously injured or killed if the airbag is deployed.


Installation of a booster cushion

The chest par t 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 abooster seat which has a back, fitted with a seat belt guide at shoulder level.


As a safety precaution, do not leave:


- one or more children alone and unsuper vised in a vehicle,

- a child or an animal in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun, with the windowsclosed,

- keys within the reach of children insidethe vehicle. Use the "child lock" to prevent anyaccidental opening of the rear doors or windows.
Avoid opening the rear windows by more than a third.

To protect young children from the rays of the sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.

You must remove the head restraint beforefitting a child seat on a passenger seat.Ensure that the head restraint is stowed or attached securely to prevent it from being thrown around the vehicle in the event of sharp braking. Refit the head restraint oncethe child seat has been removed

Deactivation
Only the passenger's front airbag can be deactivated:)with the ignition off, inser t the key in thefpassenger airbag deactivation switch, )turn it to the "OFF"position,)then, remove the key keeping the switch in
the new position.
This warnin
g lamp comes on in the
instrument panel when the ignition is
on and until the airbag is re-activated.
To assure the safety of your child,the passenger's front airbag mustbe deactivated when you install a "rear facing" child seat on the front passenger seat. Other wise, the child would risk beingseriously injured or killed if the airbag were deployed.

Reactivation

When you remove a child seat that hasbeen fitted "rear wards facing", turn switch to
the "ON"position to re-activate the airbag and
so assure the safety of your front passenger in
the event of an impact.

Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, you must contact
a CITROËN dealer or qualified
workshop to have the system checked. The
airbags may no longer be deployed in the event
o
f a serious impact.

Stop & Start The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine restar ts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restar t takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per
fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
For your comfor t, during parkingmanoeuvres, STOP mode is not available for a few seconds after coming out of reverse gear.STOP mode does not affect the functionality of the vehicle, such as for example, braking, power steering...
Never refuel with the engine in STOPmode; you must switch off the ignition with the key. Th
e "ECO"warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and the engine goes into standby:
- with a manual gearbox
, at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h), when you put the gear lever into neutral, and you release theclutch pedal. -with a 5 or 6-speed electronic gearbox ,
at speeds below 5 mph (8 km/h), when you press the brake pedal or put the gear lever in position N.
A time counter calculates the sum
of the periods in STOP mode
during a journey. It rests itself
to zero every time the ignition is switched on with the key.
STOP mode is not invoked when:


- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,

- the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph(10 km/h) since the last engine star t using
the key,

- the engine is needed to maintain acomfortable temperature in the passenger compartment,

Special cases: STOP mode not available

The "ECO"warning lamp flashes for
a few seconds then goes off.
This operation is per fectly normal.

The system is reactivated automaticallyat every new star t using the key.
Reactivation
This system requires a battery with a specialspecification and technology (reference numbers available from a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop).
