Child safety




Advice on child seats

The incorrect installation of a child seat in avehicle compromises the child's protectionin the event of an accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the child seat harnesses keeping the slack relative to the child's body to a minimum, even for shor t journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightenedcorrectly on the child seat and that it secures the child seat firmly on the seat of your vehicle. If your passenger seat isadjustable, move it for wards if necessary.
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 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 "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 installed on the front seat. Other wise, the child would risk beingseriously injured or killed if the airbag were to inflate.
Installing a booster seat
The chest par t of the seat belt must bepositioned 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 abooster seat which has a back, fitted with aseat belt guide at shoulder level.

As a safety precaution, do not leave: - a child or children alone and unsuper vised in a vehicle, - a child or an animal in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun, with the windowsclosed, - the keys within reach of children inside the vehicle.To prevent accidental opening of the doors and rear windows, use the "Child lock". Take care not to open the rear windows bymore than one third.To protect young children from the rays of the sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.

Ty r e u n d e r - i nfl ation detection
System which automatically and continuously checks the pressure of the tyres while driving.Sensors fitted in each valve trigger a warning
in the event of problem (speed above 12 mph(20 km/h)).

Puncture

The tyre under-inflation detectionsystem is an aid to driving which doesnot replace the need for the driver to bevigilant or to drive responsibly.


Under-infl ated tyre
This warning lamp is displayed on the
instrument panel and/or a message appears
in the screen, accompanied by an audible
si
gnal, to identify the wheel concerned.
The STOPwarning lamp comes on and/or this warning lamp is displayed on
the instrument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message in the
screen identifying the wheel concerned.
)Stop as soon as it is safe to do so, avoiding any sudden movement of the steering
wheel and the brakes.)Repair or change the damaged wheel(punctured or very deflated tyre), and have
the tyre pressure checked as soon as possible.
) Check the tyre pressures as soon as possible.
This check must be carried out when the tyres
are cold.

177Safety

Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
A message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal, to identify
the wheel or wheels which are not detected or
to indicate a malfunction in the s
ystem.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to replace the
faulty sensor(s).
All repairs and changing of tyres on a wheel fitted with this system must be carried out by a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.
If, when changing a tyre, you install a wheel which is not detected by your vehicle (example: fitting of snow tyres),you must have the system reinitialised by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
This system does not avoid the needto have the tyre pressures checkedregularly (refer to the "Identificationmarkings" section) to ensure that
the optimum dynamic performanceof the vehicle is maintained andprevent premature wear of the tyres, particularly in arduous driving conditions (heavy load, high speed). The tyre pressures must be checked cold, at least once a month. Remember to check the pressure of the spare wheel. The tyre under-inflation detection system may experience temporary inter ference due to electro-magnetic emissions on a frequency close to thatused by the system.

This message is also displayed when one of the wheels is away from the vehicle (being repaired) or when oneor more wheels without a sensor are fitted.
If your vehicle is equipped with a spare wheel, this is not fitted with a sensor.
