Child safety
103
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.
For optimum installation of the "forwards-facing" child seat, ensure that the back of the child seat is in contact with the back of thevehicle's seat and remove the head restraint.Ensure that the head restraint is stored or attached securely to prevent it from beingthrown around the vehicle in the event of sharp braking. Refit it if an adult uses theseating position.Children under the age of 10 must not travelin the "for wards-facing" position on the front passenger seat, unless the rear seats are already occupied by other children, cannotbe used or are absent. Deactivate the passenger airbag when a"rearwards-facing" child seat is installed onthe front seat. Other wise, the child would risk beingseriously injured or killed if the airbag wereto 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 beltguide at shoulder level.
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a vehicle compromises the child's protection inthe 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 slackrelative 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 tightenedcorrectly on the child seat and that it securesthe child seat firmly on the seat of your vehicle. If your passenger seat is adjustable,move it for wards if necessary. At rear seating positions, always leave sufficient space between the front seat and: - a "rear wards facing" child seat, - the child's feet for a child seat fitted"forwards facing". To do this, move the front seat for wardsand, if necessary, move its backrest into theupright position.

Operating fault
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.

In either case, contact a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop. If this warnin
g lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signaland a message in the screen, it
indicates a malfunction of the anti-lock braking system which could
result in loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.
If this warnin
g lamp comes on,
together with the STOPand ABSwarning lamps, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the screen, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution
which could result in loss of control of
the vehicle when braking.
Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables you
to obtain the optimum braking pressure morequickly, thus reducing the stopping distance.

Activation

It is triggered by the speed at which the brake pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in theresistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking efficiency.
When replacing wheels (tyres and rims), ensure that they conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.

When braking in an emergency, press firmly without releasing the pressure.

















Braking assistance systems
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the stability and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking,
in par ticular on poor or slippery surfaces.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk of
wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibration of the brake pedal.
When braking in an emergency, press very firmly without releasing the pressure. Group of supplementar
y systems which helpyou to obtain optimum braking in complete safety in emergency situations:
- anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
- emergency braking assistance (EBA).
