"ISOFIX" MOUNTINGS
Your vehicle has been approved
in accordance with the new
ISOFIX regulation. The mountings comprise three rings for each
seat:


- two front rings, located between the
vehicle seat back and cushion, indicated
by a label,

- a rear ring, for securing the upper
strap referred to as the TOP TETHER,
indicated by another label.
This ISOFIX mounting system provides fast,
reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in
your vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats are fitted with two
latches which are secured easily on the two
front rings.
Some also have an upper strap which is
attached to the rear ring.
To attach this strap, raise the vehicle seat's
head restraint then pass the hook between
its rods. Then fix the hook on the rear ring
and tighten the upper strap.
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's protection in
the event of an accident.
For information regarding the ISOFIX child
seats which can be installed in your vehicle,
consult the summary table for the location of
the ISOFIX child seats. If fitted on your vehicle, the regulation
ISOFIX mountings are located by labels.

Child safety


ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS

The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's protection in
the event of an accident.
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 "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 restraint
does not cause any discomfort.
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 of sharp braking.
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 absent. Deactivate the passenger's airbag when a
"rear facing" child seat is installed on the
front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag were
to inflate.

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 windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays of
the sun, fit side blinds to the rear windows.

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, fitted with a seat belt
guide at shoulder level.


Crew cab

Do not install child seats, booster cushions
or carrycots on the rear seats of the cab.

Towing a trailer

ACCESSORIE
STOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...

For more information about weights,
refer to the administrative documents
(V5 registration document, ...)
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. Driving advice

A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox
in neutral.

134


Towing a trailer

Cooling:
towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on the
engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the
engine speed and reduce your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
Tyres:
check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the "Identification
markings" section of chapter 9) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressures.
We recommend the use of original
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 imperative that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment installed at the
rear of the vehicle and in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.


Good practice

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 lamp comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 7.
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 sensors:
the system does not
operate while the vehicle is towing.
