CHILD SAFETY
137
For optimum installation of the "for-
ward-facing" child seat, ensure that
the back of the child seat is as close
as possible to the backrest of the ve-
hicle's seat , in contact if possible.
You mst remove the head restraint
before installing a child seat with
backrest to a passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is
stored or attached securely to pre-
vent it from being thrown around the
vehicle in the event of sharp brak-
ing. Refi t the head restraint when the
child seat is removed.







ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS

Installing a booster seat

Children at the front


The incorrect installation of a child
seat in a vehicle compromises the
child's protection in the event of an
accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or
seat belt buckle under the child seat,
as this could destabilise it.
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 short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the
seat belt, ensure that the seat belt is
tightened correctly on the child seat
and that it secures the child seat fi rm-
ly on the seat of your vehicle. If your
passenger seat is adjustable, move it
forwards if necessary.

The legislation on carrying children on
the front passenger seat is specifi c to
each country. Refer to the legislation
in force in your country.
Deactivate the passenger airbag
when a "rearward-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.

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.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:


- a child or children alone and un-
supervised 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.
At rear seating positions, always
leave suffi cient space between the
front seat and:


- a "rearwards facing" child seat,

- the child's feet for a child seat fi t-
ted "forwards facing".
To do this, move the front seat for-
wards and, if necessary, move its
backrest into the upright position. To prevent accidental opening of the
doors and rear windows, 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.

DRIVING

Manual operation




Select position M
for sequential

changing of the six gears.


Push the lever towards the +
sign to
change up a gear.


Pull the lever towards the -
sign to
change down a gear.
It is only possible to change from one
gear to another if the vehicle speed and
engine speed permit; otherwise, the
gearbox will operate temporarily in au-
tomatic mode.

D
disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succes-
sion in the instrument panel.
If the engine speed is too low
or too high, the gear selected
fl ashes for a few seconds, then the ac-
tual gear engaged is displayed.
It is possible to change from position D

(automatic) to position M
(manual) at
any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or mov-
ing very slowly, the gearbox selects
gear M1
automatically.
The sport and snow programmes do
not operate in manual mode.
Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a
gear is not engaged correctly
(selector between two posi-
tions).



Stopping the vehicle

Before switching off the engine, you
can engage position P
or N
to place the
gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake
to immobilise the vehicle, unless it is
programmed to automatic mode.

If the lever is not in position P
,
when the driver's door is opened
or approximately 45 seconds
after the ignition is switched off,
there is an audible signal and a
message appears.



Return the lever to position P
;
the audible signal stops and
the message disappears.


You risk damaging the gearbox:


- if you press the accelera-
tor and brake pedals at the
same time,

- if you force the lever from
position P
to another position
when the battery is fl at. When the ignition is on,
the lighting of this warning
lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
multifunction screen, indicates a gear-
box malfunction.
In this case, the gearbox switches to
back-up mode and is locked in 3rd gear.
You may feel a substantial knock when
changing from P
to R
and from N
to R
.
This will not cause any damage to the
gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), lo-
cal speed restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
This warning lamp may also come on if
a door is opened.

Operating fault

To reduce fuel consumption
when stationary for long periods
with the engine running (traffi c
jam...), position the gear lever
at N
and apply the parking brake,
unless it is programmed in auto-
matic mode.
