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





The driver must ensure that passen-
gers use the seat belts correctly and
that they are all restrained securely
before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the ve-
hicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even for short journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt
buckles as they will not fulfi l their
role fully.
The seat belts are fi tted with an inertia
reel permitting automatic adjustment
of the length of the strap to your size.
The seat belt is stowed automatically
when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the
seat belt is reeled in correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the
pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned
in the hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fi tted with an
automatic locking device which
comes into operation in the event
of a collision, emergency braking or
if the vehicle rolls over. You can re-
lease the device by pulling fi rmly on
the strap and releasing it so that it
reels in slightly. In order to be effective, a seat belt
must:


- be tightened as close to the body
as possible,

- be pulled in front of you with a
smooth movement, checking
that it does not twist,

-
be used to restrain only one person,

- not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,


- not be converted or modifi ed to
avoid affecting its performance.
Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the pas-
senger is less than 12 years old or
shorter than one and a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to se-
cure more than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your
lap.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all repairs on your
vehicle, go to a qualifi ed workshop
with the skills and equipment need-
ed, which a CITROËN dealer is able
to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regu-
larly by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop, particularly if the
straps show signs of damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product,
sold by CITROËN dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt
is positioned and reeled in correctly.
In the event of an impact

Depending on the nature and se-
riousness of the impact
, the pre-
tensioning device may be deployed
before and independently of the
airbags. Deployment of the preten-
sioners 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 all cases, the airbag warning lamp
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat
belts system checked, and if neces-
sary replaced, by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.

SAFETY

Deactivation
This warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel when
the ignition is on and until the
airbag is reactivated.
To ensure the safety of your child,
it is imperative that the passenger
airbag is deactivated when you in-
stall a "rearwards-facing" child seat
on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk be-
ing seriously injured or killed if the
airbag were deployed.
Activation
When you remove the child seat,
turn switch 1
to the "ON"
position to
reactivate the airbag and so ensure
the safety of your front passenger in
the event of an impact.

Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes
on on the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible
warning and a message in
the multifunction screen, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop to have the system checked. The
airbags may no longer be deployed in
the event of a serious impact. Only the front passenger's airbag
can be deactivated:


)
with the ignition off
, insert the
key in the passenger airbag de-
activation switch 1
,

)
turn it to the "OFF"
position,

)
then, remove the key keeping
the switch in this position.
If this warning lamp fl ashes,
contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
If both airbag warning lamps come
on continuously, do not install a
"rearwards-facing" child seat on
the front passenger seat.
Have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

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.
