CHILD SAFETY
"ISOFIX" MOUNTINGS
Your vehicle has been approved in
accordance with the latest ISOFIX
regulation s.
The three second row seats are fi tted
with regulation 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
, used to fi x the upper
strap, referred to as the TOP
TETHER
, indicated by a label
on a cover at the top of the seat
back. This ISOFIX mounting system pro-
vides fast, reliable and safe fi tting 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 installing ISOFIX
child seats in your vehicle, refer to the
table showing the locations that can
be used for ISOFIX child seats.
ISOFIX child seats
are fi tted with
two latches which are secured easily
on the two rings A
.
Some also have an upper strap
which is attached to the ring B
.
To attach this strap, remove the ve-
hicle seat's head restraint and the
cover at the top of the seat back.
Then fi x the hook on the ring B
and
tighten the upper strap.

SAFETY
For the airbags to be fully
effective, observe the following
safety rules:
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering
wheel by its spokes or resting your
hands on the centre part of the
wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet
on the dashboard.
If possible, do not smoke as deploy-
ment of the airbags can cause burns
or the risk of injury from a cigarette
or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering
wheel or hit it violently.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment the
lateral airbags. For information on the
range of seat covers suitable for your
vehicle, you can contact a CITROËN
dealer (see "Practical information - §
Accessories").
Do not fi x or attach anything to the
seat backs (clothing...). This could
cause injury to the chest or arms if
the lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.
Curtain airbags
Do not fi x or attach anything to the
roof. This could cause injury to the
head if the curtain airbag is de-
ployed.
If fi tted on your vehicle, do not re-
move the grab handles installed on
the roof, they play a part in securing
the curtain airbags.
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child,
pet, object...). This could hamper
the operation of the airbags or injure
the occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle
has been stolen or broken into, have
the airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must
be carried out by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
Even if all of the precautions men-
tioned are observed, a risk of injury
or of minor burns to the head, chest
or arms when an airbag is deployed
cannot be ruled out. The bag infl ates
almost instantly (within a few mil-
liseconds) then defl ates within the
same time discharging the hot gas
via openings provided for this pur-
pose.
