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 relative to the child's body to a minimum, even for shor t 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 your vehicle. Move the seat for wards if necessary. For optimum installation of the "for wards-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 discomfor t. 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 "for wards-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 airbag when a "rear wards-facing" child seat is installed on the front seat. Other wise, the child would risk being seriously injured or killed if the airbag were to inflate.
Installing a booster seat
The chest par t of the seat belt must be positioned on the child's shoulder without touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap par t 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.
As a safety precaution, do not leave: - a child or children alone and unsuper vised 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
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.

163Child safety
Your vehicle has been approved in accordance with the new ISOFIX regulation . The seats, represented below, are fitted with regulation ISOFIX mountings:
"ISOFIX" mountings
There are three rings for each seat: - two rings A , located between the vehicle seat back and cushion, indicated by a label,
- a ring B , behind the seat, referred to as the TOP TETHER for fixing the upper strap.
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 regarding the ISOFIX child seats which can be installed in your vehicle, refer to the table showing the locations for
installing ISOFIX child seats.
When fitting an ISOFIX child seat to the left hand rear seat, before fitting the seat, first move the centre rear seat belt towards the middle of the vehicle, so as to avoid the seat inter fering with the operation of the seat belt.
The ISOFIX child seats are fitted with two locks which are secured on the two rings A . Some seats also have an upper strap , known as the Top Tether, which is attached to ring B . To attach this strap, raise the vehicle seat's head restraint then pass the hook between its rods. Then fix the hook on ring B and tighten the upper strap.

Braking assistance systems
Group of supplementary systems which help you to obtain optimum braking in complete safety in emergency situations: - anti-lock braking system (ABS), - electronic brake force distribution (EBFD), - emergency braking assistance (EBA).
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the stability and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking, in par ticular on poor or slippery sur faces.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes into operation automatically when there is a risk of wheel lock. Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibration of the brake pedal.
When braking in an emergency, press very firmly without releasing the pressure.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on, together with the STOP and ABSwarning lamps, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the multifunction screen, it indicates a malfunction of the electronic brake force distribution which could result in loss of control of the vehicle when braking. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
When replacing wheels (tyres and rims), ensure that they conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
If this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the multifunction screen, it indicates a malfunction of the anti-lock braking system which could result in loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
In either case, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts correctly and that they are all restrained securely before setting off. Wherever you are seated in the vehicle, always fasten your seat belt, even for shor t journeys. Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as they will not fulfil their role fully. The seat belts are fitted with an iner tia reel permitting automatic adjustment of the length of the strap to your size. The seat belt is stowed automatically when not in use. Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt is reeled in correctly. The lower par t of the strap must be positioned as low as possible on the pelvis. The upper par t must be positioned in the hollow of the shoulder. The iner tia reels are fitted with an automatic locking device which comes into operation in
the event of a collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls over. You can release the device by pulling firmly on the strap and
releasing it so that it reels in slightly.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must: - be tightened as close to the body as possible, - be pulled in front of you with a smooth movement, checking that it does not twist, - be used to restrain only one person, - not bear any trace of cuts or fraying, - not be conver ted or modified to avoid affecting its per formance. In accordance with current safety regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle, go to a qualified workshop with the skills and equipment needed, which a CITROËN dealer is able to provide. Have your seat belts checked regularly by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop, par ticularly if the straps show signs of damage. Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or
a textile cleaning product, sold by CITROËN dealers. After folding or moving a seat or rear bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned and reeled in correctly.
Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is less than 12 years old or shor ter than one and a half metres. Never use the same seat belt to secure more than one person. Never allow a child to travel on your lap.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and seriousness of the impact , the pretensioning device may be deployed before and independently of the airbags. Deployment of the pretensioners is accompanied by a slight discharge of harmless smoke and a noise, due to the activation of the pyrotechnic car tridge incorporated in the system. In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes on. Following an impact, have the seat belts system checked, and if necessary replaced, by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

In the event of the electric parking brake malfunctioning or the battery running flat, an emergency manual device can release the parking brake.  Immobilise the vehicle (or keep it stationary, if the brake pedal is pressed), with the engine running, by engaging first gear (manual gearbox) or position M or R(6 -speed electronic gearbox system).
Emergency release
 Switch off the engine but leave the ignition on. If it is not possible to immobilise the vehicle, do not operate the control and contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop without delay.  Fetch the two vehicle blocks B and the release device C , located under the boot carpet.
 Immobilise the vehicle by placing the blocks in front or behind the two front wheels, opposite to the direction of the slope.  Remove the storage box under the boot carpet for access to the emergency release device.

Driving
 Pierce the protective cover D on the tube Ewith the release device.  Place the release device in the tube.  Turn the release device clockwise .For safety reasons , it is essential to continue turning the device until it reaches its stop. The parking brake is released.  Remove the release device and store it with the blocks in the toolbox under the boot carpet.
For safety reasons, after this operation it is essential to contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop without delay to replace the protective cover. Following an emergency unlocking, immobilisation of the vehicle is no longer assured once the manual emergency release has been deployed
and the manual control does not allow the re-application of your parking brake.
Take no action, either on the control lever A , or stopping star ting the engine while the release device is engaged. Take care not to allow moisture or dust
in the proximity of the protective cover.
- The operation of the parking brake reinitialises when the ignition is switched off then on again. If the reinitialisation of the parking brake proves impossible, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. - The subsequent time required for application may be longer than during normal operation.
