"ISOFIx" MOuntInGS
Your vehicle has been approved
to the latest ISOFIX regulation.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, remove and stow the
head restraint before installing the child seat
at the seating position (refit it once the child
seat has been removed). Then fix the hook
on the rear ring and tighten the upper strap.
If fitted on your vehicle, the regulation
ISOFIX mountings are located by labels.
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 incorrect installation of a child seat
in a vehicle compromises the child's
protection in the event of an accident.
For information on the possibilities for fitting
ISOFIX child seats to your vehicle, refer to
the summary table for the location of the
ISOFIX child seats.

SAFETY
Child safety

132
Good practice
children at the front
The legislation on carrying a child on the
front passenger seat is specific to each
country. Refer to the legislation in force in
your country.
Deactivate the passenger's airbag when a
rearward facing child seat is installed on the
front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag were
deployed. As a safety precaution, never 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.
For the optimum installation of a forward
facing child seat, ensure that the back of
the child seat is as close as possible to the
backrest of the vehicle's seat, or in contact
if possible.
The head restraint must be removed before
installing a child seat with a backrest on the
passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is stowed or
attached securely so that it is not thrown
around the vehicle in the event of sharp
braking.
Refit the head restraint as soon as the child
seat is removed.
At the rear, always leave sufficient space
between the front seat and:
-

a rearward facing child seat,
-


the feet of a child seated in a forward


facing child seat.
For this, move the front seat forward and, if
necessary, straighten its backrest as well. The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's protection in
the event of an accident.
Check that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle under the child seat, as this could
destabilise the seat.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harnesses keeping the slack
relative to the child's body to a minimum,
even for short journeys.
For the installation of a child seat using
the seat belt, ensure that the seat belt is
well tensioned on the child seat and that
it is holding the child seat firmly against
the vehicle's seat. If the passenger seat is
adjustable, move it forward if necessary.

The type-approved towable weights are
entered in your vehicle's registration
certificate, as well as on the manufacturer's
VIN plate. These weights are also given in sales
brochures.
You will then have information on your
vehicle's ability to tow a trailer, a caravan,
a
boat...
Refer to the "Technical data - Vehicle
identification" section. For the maximum unbraked trailer
weight and the recommended nose
weight, refer to the "Technical data -
Weights" section.

driving advice
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.
c

ooling: 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 and of the trailer, observing
the recommended pressures.
Fitting a towbar
We recommend the use of genuine
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.
These genuine towbars are compatible with
the operation of the rear parking sensors
and the reversing camera, if fitted to your
vehicle.
If this equipment is not fitted by a CITROËN
dealer, it must be fitted in line with the
manufacturer's instructions.
Good practice
If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
Refer to the "Checks - Levels and
checks" section.
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.
r

ear parking sensors: the system is
deactivated while the vehicle is towing with a
genuine CITROËN towbar fitted.
Refer to the "Technical data -
Identification markings" section.

Refer to the "Technical data -
Dimensions" section for more
information on the length (L1 to L4) and the
height (H1 to H3) of the vehicle. Maximum load on the roof, evenly
distributed: 150 kg, for all versions,
within the vehicle's weight limit (Gross
Vehicle Weight).
For reasons of safety and to avoid damaging
the roof, it is essential to use a carrying
system (roof bars or roof rack) that is
approved for your vehicle.
Roof bars can only be fitted to an H1 or
H2

height van, combi and minibus versions.
On a minibus, check for the presence of roof
air conditioning units. The carrying system must always be
secured to the fitting points provided on the
vehicle's roof: 6, 8 or 10, depending on the
wheelbase of the vehicle.
Observe the instructions for fitting and use
provided with the carrying system.
On all H3 height versions, the roof
cannot be fitted with a carrying system.
Observe in full the legal requirements
related to carrying outsized loads.

transmitters
You are advised to contact a CITROËN
dealer before installing accessory
radiocommunication transmitters with
external aerial on your vehicle.
CITROËN dealers can advise you on
the specifications (frequency waveband,
maximum output power, aerial position,
specific installation conditions) of the
transmitters which can be fitted, in
accordance with the Vehicle Electromagnetic
Compatibility Directive (2004/104/EC).
The fitting of electrical equipment or
accessories which are not listed by
CITROËN may result in the failure of your
vehicle's electronic system.
We request that you take note of this point
and recommend that you contact a dealer
to be shown the range of recommended
equipment and accessories.
Depending on the country in which the
vehicle is sold or operated, it may be
compulsory to have a high visibility vest,
warning triangle, replacement bulbs and
breathalyzer in the vehicle.
To prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedals:
-
ensure that the mat and its fixings are

positioned correctly,
-

never fit one mat on top of another
.

SnOW cHAInS
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the
vehicle when braking.The snow chains must be fitted only to
the driving wheels. They must never be
fitted to "space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running speed
authorised. Advice on installation
F
If you have to fit the chains during


a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat
surface on the side of the road.
F
Apply

the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks to prevent movement of
your vehicle.
F
Fit the chains following the instructions


provided by the manufacturer.
F
Move of

f gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 30 mph
(50
km/h).
F
Stop your vehicle and check that the


snow chains are correctly tightened.
It is recommended that before you
leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry surface. Avoid driving with chains on roads that
have been cleared of snow, to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and the road
surface. If your vehicle is fitted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its
fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to
the type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size.215/70 R15 12 mm
225/75 R15 16 mm
215/75 R16 16 mm
