Cancelling the memorisation

With the tailgate in the intermediate
position, you can cancel the stored
position:


)
Make a long press on push-
button D
. The system emits a
long audible beep.

)
Release the push-button D
. The
tailgate will return to the fully
open position at the next use.



Electrical protection of
the motor
If the tailgate is repeatedly opened
and closed in quick succession, the
motor can start to overheat and then
cut out, preventing opening and
closing of the tailgate.
Allow the motor to cool down for
ten minutes without opening or clos-ing the tailgate.
Closing in manual back-up mode re-
mains possible.
To avoid risk of injury, make sure
that no one is in the vicinity of the
boot while opening and closing.
If the tailgate is carrying extra
weight (snow, bicycle carrier, etc.)
there is a risk of it closing under
this load. Support the tailgate or
fi rst unload the bicycle carrier or
clear the snow.
When using an automatic car wash, don’t forget to lock the vehicle so
as to avoid any risk of motorised
opening of the tailgate.

lytic converter, unleaded fuel is
compulsory.

Special position of the
windscreen wipers
This position permits release of the
windscreen wiper blades.
It is used for cleaning or replacement
of the blades. It can also be useful,
in winter, to detach the blades from
the windscreen.
In the moment following switching
the ignition off, any action on the
stalk positions the wipers vertically
on the windscreen.
To park the wipers after this has
been done, switch on the ignition
and operate the stalk.
To maintain the effectiveness of
the "fl at-blade" wiper blades, it is
advisable to:


- handle them with care,

- clean them regularly using
soapy water,

- avoid using them to retain card-
board on the windscreen,

- replace them at the fi rst signs
of wear.

"ISOFIX" MOUNTINGS

Your vehicle has been approved in
accordance with the new ISOFIX
regulation

s
.
The outer rear seats are fi tted with
regulation ISOFIX mountings.

In the rear
This ISOFIX mounting system pro-
vides fast, reliable and safe fi tting
of the child seat in your vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats
are fi tted
with two locks which are secured
easily on the two rings A
, following
installation of the guides (supplied
with the seat).
Some also have an upper strap

which is attached to the ring B
or C
.
To attach this strap in the rear, remove
the vehicle seat's head restraint and
stow it. Lift the cover on the rear shelf
(Saloon) or the roof (Tourer). Then
fi x the hook on the ring B
or C
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 table of positions for fi tting
ISOFIX child seats.
Saloon

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS


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, fi t-
ted with a seat belt guide at shoulder
level.
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 win-
dows by more than one third.
To protect young children from the
rays of the sun, fi t side blinds on the
rear windows.


The incorrect installation of a child seat
in a vehicle compromises the child's
protection in the event of an accident.
When installing a child seat using the
seat belt, check that the seat belt is
tightened correctly on the child seat
and that it secures the child seat fi rmly
on the seat of your vehicle.
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 "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 discomfort.
If the head restraint has to be removed, ensure that it is stored or attached se-
curely 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 "forwards-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 "rearwards-facing" child seat is in-
stalled on the front seat. Otherwise, the
child would risk being seriously injured
or killed if the airbag were to infl ate.
