133Child safety
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 harness keeping the slack
in
relation to the child's body to a minimum
,
even for shor t journeys.
To install a child seat using the vehicle's
seat belt, ensure that the belt is well
tightened on the child seat and that it holds
the child seat firmly against the vehicle's
seat.
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 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 ward 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 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 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.
* According to country. As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- one or more 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 protect young children from the rays of
the sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.

Deactivation
Only the passenger's front airbag can be
deactivated:
)
with the ignition off
, inser t the key in the
passenger airbag deactivation switch,
)
turn it to the "OFF"
position,
)
then, remove the key keeping the switch in
the new position.
This warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel when the ignition is
on and until the airbag is re-activated. To assure the safety of your child,
the passenger's front airbag must
be deactivated when you install a
"rear facing" child seat on the front
passenger seat.
Other wise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were deployed.
Reactivation
When you remove a child seat that has been
fitted "rear wards facing", turn switch to the
"ON"
position to re-activate the airbag and so
assure the safety of your front passenger in the
event of an impact.
With the ignition on, this warning
lamp comes on in the instrument
panel for approximately one minute,
if the passenger's front airbag is
activated.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp flashes, contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. The passenger's front
airbag may no longer be deployed in the event
of a serious impact.
If at least one of the two airbag
warning lamps come on continuously,
do not install a child seat on the front
passenger seat.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by
an audible warning and a message in
the multifunction screen, contact a CITROËN
dealer or qualified workshop to have the
system checked. The airbags may no longer be
deployed in the event of a serious impact.

Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc...). The engine
restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as offering the comfort of silence when
stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
For your comfort when parking, STOP
mode is not available for a few seconds
after coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as
braking, power steering, for example.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key. The "ECO"
warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby:
- with a manual gearbox
, at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h), when you put the gear
lever into neutral, and you release the
clutch pedal,
A time counter calculates the sum
of the periods in STOP mode
during a journey. It rests itself
to zero every time the ignition is
switched on with the key. STOP mode is not invoked when:
- the driver's door is open,
- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,
- the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10 km/h) since the last engine star t using
the key,
- the engine is needed to maintain a
comfor table temperature in the passenger
compartment,
- demisting is active,

engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed to assure control of a system.
Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
The "ECO"
warning lamp flashes for
a few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is per fectly normal.
