Child safety


CHILD SAFETY
GENERAL POINT
S RELATING
TO CHILD SEATS


"Rearwards-facing"
Recommended on the rear seats up to
the age of 2.
When a "rearwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat, it
is essential that the passenger airbag
is deactivated. Otherwise, the child
would risk being seriously injured or
killed if the airbag were to infl ate.
"Forwards-facing"
Recommended on the rear seats over
the age of 2.
When a "forwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat,
leave the passenger airbag activated.



CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT


The rules for carrying children are
specifi c to each country. Consult the
current legislation in your country.
Please consult the list of seats
approved in your country. The Isofi x
mountings, the rear seats, the
passenger airbag and the deactivation
of this airbag depend on the version
sold.
The child seats function and the
passenger's airbag deativation function
are common to the entire CITROËN
range.
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:


- all children under the age of 12 or
less than one metre fi fty tall must
travel in approved child seats suited
to their weight, on seats fi tted 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 both in the front
and in the rear,

- the passenger must not travel with
a child on his lap.


Refer to chapter 4, "Airbags"
section.
If the passenger's airbag is not
deactivated, the installation of a
"rearwards-facing" child seat in the
front is strictly prohibited.

Towing a trailer

ACCESSORIES
5
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...


Refer to the administrative
documents (V5, ...) or to the Diesel
"Dimensions, weights and towed
loads" section of chapter 8.
Distribution of loads:
distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heaviest
loads are as close as possible to the
axle and the nose weight is close
to the maximum authorised without,
however, exceeding it.
Cooling:
towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
Dimension A
= 0.96 m


Driving advice

A towed vehicle must free wheel:
gearbox in neutral.

104


Towing a trailer

On the contrary, use a high gear to
lower the engine speed and reduce
your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature.
Brakes:
towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake
gradually.


Automatic adjustment
For vehicles with Xenon bulbs, and if
the change in load makes it necessary,
this system automatically corrects the
height of the beam after approximately
2 minutes. The driver is then assured
of having optimum lighting and not
causing a nuisance to other road
users.


In certain cases of particularly
arduous use (towing the
maximum load up a steep slope
in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power. In this
case, cutting off the air conditioning
allows the engine power to be
recovered, and therefore the towing
speed to be signifi cantly increased
(approximately 12 mph [20 km/h]
more). Sequential control of the
gearbox may also become unavailable.

Lighting

Bicycle carrier

Refer to the "Identifi cation
features" section of chapter 8. Refer to the "Steering wheel
controls" section of chapter 3.
When using a trailer connection,
you must add a fuse. Refer to
the "Changing a fuse" section of
chapter 7.




If the coolant temperature warning light
comes on, stop the vehicle and switch
off the engine as soon as possible.

Tyres:
check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pressure.
Side wind:
sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed.






Towbar

We recommend the use of original
CITROËN towbars, which have been
tested for endurance from the design
stage of your vehicle.
Towing equipment must be fi tted in
accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions, with particular attention to
the towing capacities of your vehicle,
the load towed, the nose weight and
the electrical connection. As this fi tting
should be carried out by a professional,
we recommend that you entrust the
fi tting of this equipment to a CITROËN
dealer.
In accordance with the general
instructions referred to above, we draw
your attention to the risk connected
with fi tting a towbar or other electrical
accessory which is not recommended
by the CITROËN network. Fitting such
equipment could result in a failure
of your vehicle's electronic system.
Please contact a CITROËN dealer fi rst
for further information.
Manual adjustment
Adjust your headlamps so as not to
dazzle other road users. Check the
electrical signalling of the trailer.
If you fi t a bicycle carrier on
the tailgate, deactivate the
rear wiper from the display's
confi guration menu.

Roof bars


ACCESSORIES

USING ROOF BARS

To use the transverse roof bars,
release the four locking levers located
at the base of the feet of each bar.
From the left-hand side, slide them
in their rails to the required notch,
supporting the foot of the bar with two
hands to slide it correctly. Lock the four locking levers.
For greater ease, it is recommended
that two people carry out these
operations.
When the roof bars are not in use,
position them at the rear stop to avoid
excess consumption.
Use accessories recommended by
Automobiles CITROËN and follow
the fi tting instructions in the manual
provided by the manufacturer of the
load-carrying roof bars.

- Remove the bolt, the stop and the
two washers at each location A
.

- Move the bars to the locations A
.

- Lift the two bars to remove them.

- Imperative:
refi t the bolt, the
stop and the two washers at each
location A
.
To refi t, proceed in the reverse order.


Removal and refitting of the
roof bars

Maximum authorised weight on the
roof rack: 220 lbs. (100 kg)
