ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
The incorrect installation of a
child seat in a vehicle com-
promises the child's protection in the
event of an accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts
or the child seat harnesses keep-
ing the slack
in relation to the child's
body to a minimum
, even for short
journeys.
For optimum installation of the "for-
ward 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 "forward facing" position
on the front passenger seat, unless
the rear seats are already occupied
by other children, cannot be used or
are absent.
Disarm the passenger 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 infl ate. 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.
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. 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 ALARM SYSTEM *
The alarm offers two types of protection:
- exterior protection:
the alarm
sounds if a door, the boot or the
bonnet is opened
;
- interior protection:
the alarm
sounds if there is a variation in
the volume inside the vehicle
(breaking of a window or move-
ment inside the vehicle)
.
Setting the alarm
Switch the ignition off and get out of
the vehicle.
Activate the alarm within fi ve minutes
following your exit from the vehicle,
by locking using the remote control
key (the red indicator lamp in the
switch 1
, which can be seen from the
outside, fl ashes once a second).
Warning
If, on setting the alarm, a door, the
boot or the bonnet are not closed
correctly, the siren sounds for a mo-
ment.
Close the vehicle correctly to set the
alarm.
If the interior protection alarm is trig-
gered ten times in succession, it is
disarmed automatically. It must be
set again in order for it to operate
correctly. When the alarm is triggered, the
siren sounds and the direction indi-
cators fl ash for thirty seconds.
After it has been triggered, the alarm
becomes operational again.
Note:
if you wish to lock your vehicle
without setting the alarm, lock it us-
ing the key in the door lock.
Disarming the alarm
Unlock the vehicle using the remote
control key (the red indicator lam in
the switch 1
goes off).
Note:
if the warning light fl ashes, it is
a sign that the alarm has been trig-
gered in your absence.
To stop it, switch on the ignition.
Note:
when the alarm is set, but the
remote control no longer works:
)
unlock the doors using the key
and open the door; the alarm is
triggered;
)
switch the ignition on within ten
seconds; the alarm is disarmed.
To set the alarm with exterior
protection only.
If, while you are away from the vehicle,
you wish to leave a window partially
open or a pet inside the vehicle, you
need to select exterior protection only:
●
Switch off the ignition.

comes on continuously.
●
Get out of the vehicle.
●

once a second.
Operating fault
When the ignition is switched on, fi xed
illumination of the red indicator lamp,
located in the centre of the dashboard,
indicates an anomaly with the siren.
Contact a CITROËN dealer to have
the system checked.
Do not make any modifi ca-
tions to the alarm system, this
could cause malfunctions.

ECONOMY MODE FUNCTION
After the engine has stopped, with
the key in the "accessories" position,
certain functions (windscreen wiper,
electric windows, courtesy lights,
audio equipment, etc.) can only be
used for a combined duration of ap-
proximately thirty minutes, to prevent
discharging the battery.
Once the thirty minutes are over, a
switching to economy mode mes-
sage appears on the multi-function
display and the active functions are
put on standby.
These functions are reactivated au-
tomatically next time the vehicle is
driven.
In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, the engine
must be started and left to run for a
few minutes.
The time available to you will then
be double the duration for which the
engine is left running. However, this
period will always be between fi ve
and thirty minutes.
BATTERY
It is advisable to disconnect the
battery if the vehicle is not to be
used for a period of more than
one month.
Before disconnecting the bat-
tery, you must wait 2 minutes
after switching off the ignition.
Never disconnect a terminal
when the engine is running.
Never charge a battery without fi rst
disconnecting the terminals.
Close the windows and the roof before
disconnecting the battery.
After every reconnection of the bat-
tery, switch on the ignition and wait
1 minute before starting to allow the
electronic systems to be initialised. If
slight diffi culties are experienced af-
ter this, please contact a CITROËN
dealer.
A fl at battery prevents the
engine from starting.
To start the vehicle from
another battery:
- Connect the red cable to the posi-
tive (+) terminals of the two bat-
teries,
- Connect one end of the green or
black cable to the negative (-) ter-
minal of the slave battery,
- Connect the other end of the
green or black cable to an earth
point on the broken down vehi-
cle as far as possible from the
battery (for example, right-hand
engine mounting).
Operate the starter, let the engine run.
Wait for the engine to return to idle,
then disconnect the cables.
To charge the battery using a
battery charger:
- Disconnect the battery,
- Follow the instructions for use
given by the battery charger man-
ufacturer,
- Reconnect starting with the nega-
tive (-) terminal,
- Check that the terminals and
connectors are clean. If they are
covered with sulphate (white or
greenish deposit), disconnect
them and clean them.
