Child safety
GENERAL POINTS RELATING TO CHILD
SEATS
Although one of CITROËN ’s main criteria
when designing your vehicle, the safety of
your children also depends on you.
For maximum safety, please follow these
precautions:
- in accordance with European law, all
children under the age of 12 or less
than 1 metre 50 tall must travel in
approved child seats suited to their
weight, on seats fitted with a seat belt or
ISOFIX mountings.
- statistically, the safest seat positions
for carrying children are the rear seats
of the vehicle,
- a child weighing under 9 kg must always
be carried in the "rearwards-facing"
position whether in the front or the back
of the vehicle.
CITROËN recommends that children are
carried in the rear seats of your vehicle:
- "rearwards-facing" up to the age of 2,
- "forwards-facing" over the age of 2.
INSTALLING A CHILD SEAT USING A THREE POINT SEAT BELT
"Rearwards-facing"
Do not forget to disarm the air
bag before installing the child.
When a "rearwards-facing" child
seat is installed on the front
passenger seat , it is essential that the
passenger air bag is disarmed. Otherwise,
the child would risk being seriously
injured or killed if the air bag were to
inflate . "Forwards-facing"

When a "forwards-facing" child
seat is installed on the front
passenger seat , leave the
passenger air bag armed.
The rules for transporting children are
specific to each country. Consult the current
legislation in your country.
Please consult the list of seats
approved in your country. The Isofix
mountings, the rear seats, the passenger air
bag and the disarming of this air bag depend
on the version sold.

"ISOFIX" FASTENING SYSTEM
Your vehicle has been approved according
to the new ISOFIX directives.
The system features 3 rings for each side
seat on the rear benchseat:
- 2 bottom rings, located between the
backrest and the seat cushion,
- 1 top ring, for the securing of the
TOP TETHER top belt .
The ISOFIX fastening system gives you a
reliable, strong and convenient fitting for a
child seat in your vehicle.
ISOFIX child seats have 2 latches which are
easy to secure on the 2 bottom rings.
Some also have a top belt which is for
attaching to the top ring.
To attach the top belt, raise the head
restraint, then pass the buckle between the
2 supports. Next fix the buckle to the top
ring, and tension the top belt.
The incorrect installation of a child seat
in your vehicle compromises protection
of the child in the event of a collision.

THE ISOFIX CHILD SEAT RECOMMENDED
BY CITROËN AND APPROVED FOR YOUR
VEHICLE IS:
The ISOFIX RÖMER Duo Plus(weight class B1)
Group 1: 9 to 18 kg
Installed forwards-facing.
Equipped with a TOP TETHER top belt to
be secured to the upper ISOFIX ring. 3
possible angles for the shell:
sitting, reclining and flat.
This child seat can also be used in seat
positions that are not equipped with
ISOFIX anchoring points.
In this case, they must be secured to the
seat using the 3-point seat belt .
Follow the fitting instructions given in the
child seat manufacturer ’s user guide.

Towing a trailer
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a steep
slope in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power. In this
case, the automatic cutting off of the air
conditioning allows the engine power to be
recovered.
If the coolant temperature
warning light comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 7.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the "Identification
features" section of chapter 7) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressure.
Brakes: towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake gradually.
Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed.
ABS: the system only controls the vehicle,
not the trailer.
Rear parking assistance:
the assistance will be deactivated
automatically when a CITROËN towbar is
used (see the "Rear parking assistance"
section of chapter 4).
Towbar
We recommend the use of CITROËN
towbars and their harnesses, which have
been tested and approved from the design
stage of your vehicle, and that the fitting of
this equipment is entrusted to a CITROËN
dealer .
If this equipment is not fitted by a CITROËN
dealer , it is essential that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment located at the
rear of the vehicle in accordance with the
manufacturer ’s instructions.
The operation of the sensors is deactivated
automatically when the pin of the trailer
cable is inserted in the towbar socket.
When the trailer cable pin is removed, the
sensors are re-activated.
Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest objects are as close as possible
to the axle and the nose weight is close to
the maximum authorised without, however,
exceeding it. The air density decreases with
altitude, so reducing the performance of
the engine. The maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10 % for each 1 000 metres
of altitude. Refer to the "Technical data"
chapter for details of the weights and towed
loads applicable to your vehicle and also to
the administrative documents
(V5 registration document, etc.).
