"ISOFIX" MOuntInGS
Your vehicle has been approved in
accordance with the latest ISo FIX
regulation.
The
  mountings   comprise   three   rings   for  
each

  seat:
-

two front rings
A, located between
the
  vehicle   seat   backrest   and  
cushion,

  indicated   by   a   marking-
a rear ring B,   located   on   the   back  of
  the   vehicle's   seat   backrest,   for  
securing the upper strap referred to
as

  the  
T
op  
T
ether.
The Top Tether is used to secure the
upper strap of child seats that have
one.
 
This
  arrangement   limits   the  
forward tipping of the child seat in the
event

  of   a   frontal   impact.
This
  ISOFIX   mounting   system  
guarantees you fast, reliable and safe
fitting

  of   the   child   seat   in   your   vehicle.
The
  ISOFIX   child   seats   are   fitted   with  
two latches which are secured on the
two front rings

A.
Some
  also   have   an   upper   strap   which  
is attached to the rear ring

B.Follow strictly the instructions for
fitting
  child   seats   contained   in   the  
manufacturer's

  installation   guide.
To secure the child seat to the Top
Tether:
-
 
remove
  and   stow   the   head   restraint  
before installin

g the child seat in
this   seating   position   (refit   it   once  
the

  child   seat   has   been   removed),
-
pass the upper strap of the child
seat over the top of the seat
backrest,

  between   the   apertures   for  
the head restraint rods,
-
 secure   the   hook   on   the   upper   strap  to the rear ring,
-
 
tighten
  the   upper   strap.
The incorrect installation of a child
seat
  in   a   vehicle   compromises   the  
protection of the child in the event
of

  an   accident.

the installation of IS

AdVIcE On cHILd SEAtS
At the rear, always leave sufficient space
  between   the   front   seat   and:
-

a "rearward facing" child seat,
-


the feet of a child seated in a
"forward

  facing"   child   seat.
For
  this,   move   the   front   seat   forward  
and, if necessary

, straighten its
backrest
  as   well.
The incorrect installation of a child seat
in
  a   vehicle   compromises   the   child's  
protection

  in   the   event   of   an   accident.
Check   that   there   is   no   seat   belt   or   seat  
belt

  buckle   under   the   child   seat,   as   this  
could

  destabilise   the   seat.
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.
For the installation of a child seat using
the seat belt, ensure that the seat belt
is well tensioned on the child seat
and that it is holding the child seat
firmly   against   the   vehicle's   seat.   If   the  
passenger

  seat   is   adjustable,   move   it  
forward

  if   necessary. For   the   optimum   installation   of   a  
"forward facing" child seat, ensure that
the

  back   of   the   child   seat   is   as   close   as  
possible

  to   the   backrest   of   the   vehicle's  
seat,

  or   in   contact   if   possible.
The   head   restraint   must   be   removed  
before installin

g a child seat with a
backrest   on   the   passenger   seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is
stowed or attached securely so that it
is not thrown around the vehicle in the
event   of   sharp   braking.
Refit   the   head   restraint   as   soon   as   the  
child

  seat   is   removed.children at the front
The legislation on carrying a child on
the
  front   passenger   seat   is   specific   to  
each

  country.   Refer   to   the   legislation   in  
force

  in   your   country.
d

eactivate the passenger's 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

  deployed.
Installing a booster seat
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,   fitted  
with

  a   seat   belt   guide   at   shoulder   level.
As
  a   safety   precaution,   never   leave:
-
 
one
  or   more   children   alone   and  
unsupervised 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.
To prevent accidental opening of the
doors,
  use   the   "Child   Lock".
Take
 
care
 
not
 
to
 
open
 
the
 
rear
 
windows
 
by

  more   than   one   third.
To
  protect   young   children   from   the   rays  
of

  the   sun,   fit   side   blinds   to   the   rear  
windows.
For an installation in row 3, put the
backrests

 
of
 
the
 
outer
 
and
 
centre
 seats in row 2 in the table position, or
remove
 
these
 
seats
 
in
 
row
 
2,
 
so
 
that
 
the child seat or the child's legs do not
touch

 
the
 
seats
 
in
 
row
 
2.

Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the
  coolant   temperature.a s the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the

You should therefore use a high gear
to lower the engine speed and reduce
your

Good Practice
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,

the air conditioning is
automatically
  cut   off   to   save   engine  
power

Check

  the   tyre   pressures   of   the   towing

We recommend the use of genuine CITRo Ë n towbars and their
harnesses, which have been tested

  approved   from   the   design   stage   of  
your vehicle, and that you entrust the
fitting

  of   this   equipment   to   a   CITROËN

attention

  to   the   risk   associated   with  
fitting

  a   towbar   or   electrical   accessory

Fitting

  such   equipment   could   result   in
