Mirrors and windows


ELECTRIC WINDOWS


Electric controls

The electric windows have a safety
anti-pinch function and are associated with
one-touch controls for lowering and raising.
From the driver's seat, the controls placed
on the door operate the vehicle's front
windows.
On the passenger's side, the control
operates the passenger's front window.


One-touch controls

An extended press on the control raises or
lowers the window completely.
Press the control again to stop the window.
Press the control briefly to start the
movement of the window.


Manual controls

Turn the window winder located on the door
trim panel.


Good practice

Always remove the key from the ignition
when leaving the vehicle, even for a short
time.
If the electric window meets an obstacle
during operation, you must reverse the
movement of the window. To do this, press
the control concerned.
When the driver operates the passenger
electric window controls, they must ensure
that no one is preventing correct closing of
the windows.
The driver must ensure that the passenger
uses the electric window correctly.

Be aware of children when operating the
windows.


REAR WINDOWS (COMBI)

To partially open the rear windows, tilt the
lever and push it fully to lock the windows in
the open position.

SAFETY



Seat belts



Good practice

The driver must ensure that all passengers
fasten their seat belts correctly.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
which automatically adjusts the length of the
strap to your size. The seat belt is reeled in
automatically when not in use.
Ensure that the seat belt has reeled in
correctly after use.
After folding or moving a seat, ensure that
the seat belt has reeled in correctly into its
compartment and that the buckle is ready to
accommodate the tongue. The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt against the body of the occupants.
The equipment fitted to these seat belts is
operational when the ignition is switched on.
The inertia reels are fitted with a device
which automatically locks the strap in the
event of a collision or emergency braking or
if the vehicle rolls over.


The airbag warning lamp comes
on if the pretensioners are
deployed. Contact a CITROËN or
a qualified workshop.
Depending on the nature and seriousness of
any impact, the pretensioning device may be
deployed before and independently of infl ation
of the airbags. It instantly tightens the seat
belts against the body of the occupants.
The deployment of the pretensioners is
accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system. In order to be effective, a seat belt must:


- restrain one person only,

- must not be twisted, check by pulling in
front of you with an even movement,

- be tightened as close to the body as
possible.
The upper part of the seat belt should be
positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.
The lap part should be placed as low as
possible on the pelvis.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles as they
will not fulfil their role completely. If the
seats are fitted with armrests, the lap part of
the seat belt should always pass under the
armrest.
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap firmly.
Recommendations for children:


- use a suitable child seat if the passenger
is less than 12 years old or less than one
and a half metres tall,

- never allow a child to travel on your lap,
even with the seat belt fastened.
For further information regarding child
seats, refer to the "Children on board"
section of chapter 5.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all work on your vehicle,
refer to a qualified workshop that has the
skills an equipment needed, all of which can
be provided by a CITROËN dealer.
Have the seat belts checked regularly (even
after a minor impact) by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop: they must not show
any signs of wear, cutting or fraying and they
must not be transformed or modified.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product,
available from CITROËN dealers.

Airbags

AIRBAGS
The airbags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants in the
event of a serious collision; they work in
conjunction with the force limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, the
electronic detectors record and analyse the
front and side impacts suffered in the impact
detection zones:


- in the event of a serious impact, the
airbags inflate instantly and protect the
occupants of the vehicle. Immediately
after the impact, the airbags deflate
rapidly, so that they do not hinder the
visibility of the occupants nor their
possible exit from the vehicle.
- in the event of a minor or rear impact
and in certain roll-over conditions, the
airbags will not be deployed; the seat belt
alone is sufficient to provide maximum
protection in these situations.
The seriousness of the collision depends on
the nature of the obstacle and the speed of
the vehicle at the moment of impact.
Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
This equipment only operates once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same or
a subsequent accident), the airbag will not
operate.
The triggering of an airbag or airbags
is accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience some irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.
It is imperative that the passenger
airbag is disarmed if a child seat is
installed facing rearwards. Refer to the
"Children on board" section of chapter 5.

Airbags



FRONT AIRBAGS

The front airbags are fitted in the centre of
the steering wheel for the driver and in the
dashboard for the front passenger.

Deployment
They are deployed simultaneously, unless
the passenger's front airbag has been
deactivated, in the event of a serious front
impact.
The front airbag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the dashboard
to cushion their forward movement.
Deactivation
Only the passenger's front airbag can be
deactivated. The airbag is deactivated from
the trip computer.
The airbag warning lamp in the
instrument panel is on while the
airbag is deactivated. To assure the safety of your child, you
must deactivate the passenger airbag
when you install a rear-facing child seat on
the front passenger seat. Otherwise, the
child would risk being killed or seriously
injured if the airbag were to inflate.
Refer to the "MENU" section of
chapter 3, then select OFF
on the
"Passenger airbag" menu.
Operating fault

If the two airbag warning lamps are
on continuously, do not install a rear-
facing child 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 signal and a
message in the screen, contract
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed workshop
without delay to have the system checked.
The airbags may no longer be deployed in the
event of a serious impact.

SAFETY



Airbags



For the airbags to be fully effective,
observe the following safety rules:
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 systems must be
carried out by a CITROËN or a qualified
workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are
observed, a risk of injury or of slight burns
to the head, chest or arms when an airbag
is deployed cannot be ruled out. In fact,
the bag inflates almost instantly (within a
few milliseconds) then deflates within the
same time, discharging the hot gas through
openings provided for this purpose.
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.
Smoke as little as possible as deployment
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
Only put approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment of lateral
airbags. For information on the range of
seat covers suitable for your vehicle, you
can contact a CITROËN dealer. Refer to the
"Accessories" section.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backs. This could cause injury to the chest
or arms when the lateral airbag inflates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body
any nearer to the door than necessary.

Child safety



GENERAL POINTS RELATING TO CHILD
SEATS
Although one of CITROËN's main criteria
when designing your vehicle, the safety of
your children also depends on you.
For maximum safety, please follow these
precautions:


- in accordance with European regulations,
all children under the age of 12 or less
than one metre fifty tall must travel in
approved child seats suited to their
weight , on seats fitted with a seat belt or
ISOFIX mountings.

- statistically, the safest seats in your
vehicle for the transportation of
children are the rear seats,

- a child weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the "rearwards-facing"
position in the front.


CITROËN recommends that children should
travel in the rear seats of your vehicle:


- "rearwards-facing" up to the age of 2 ,

- "forwards-facing"from the age of 2.


INSTALLING A CHILD SEAT USING A THREE POINT SEAT BELT

"Rearwards-facing"


Do not forget to disarm the airbag
before installing the child.
When a "rearwards-facing" child
seat is installed on the front
passenger seat , it is essential that the
passenger airbag is disarmed. Otherwise,
the child would risk being seriously
injured or killed if the airbag were to
inflate .
"Forwards-facing"
When a "forwards-facing" child
seat is installed on the front
passenger seat , leave the
passenger airbag armed.
The rules for transporting children are
specific to each country. Consult the current
legislation in your country.
Please consult the list of seats
approved in your country. The Isofix
mountings, the rear seats, the passenger
airbag and the disarming of this airbag
depend on the version sold.
