Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the
bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof
bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in
the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter,
passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of
operations recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
avoid any over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to
a consistent average.

Your vehicle has been approved in accordance
with the latest ISOFIX regulation .
The seats, represented below, are fitted with
regulation ISOFIX mountings:
"ISOFIX" mountings
There are three rings for each seat: -
a r
ing B behind the seat for fixing the upper
strap, referred to as the TOP TETHER .
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 front impact.
This ISOFIX mounting system provides fast,
reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in your
vehicle.
For information on the possibilities for
installing ISOFIX child seats in your
vehicle, refer to the summary table. The incorrect installation of a child seat
in a vehicle compromises the child's
protection in the event of an accident.
Follow the instructions for fitting
child seats contained in the seat
manufacturer's installation guide.
When fitting an ISOFIX child seat to the left
hand rear seat, before fitting the seat, first
move the centre rear seat belt towards the
middle of the vehicle, so as to avoid the seat
interfering with the operation of the seat belt. The ISOFIX child seats are fitted with two
latches which are secured on the two rings A
.
Some seats also have an upper strap , known
as the TOP TETHER, which is attached to
ring B
.
To secure the child seat to the TOP TETHER:
-
r
emove and stow the head restraint before
installing the child seat in this seating
position (refit it once the child seat has
been removed),
-
p
ass the strap of the child seat over the top
of the seat backrest, centred between the
apertures for the head restraint rods,

Child seats
Advice
Installing a booster
cushion
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, do not leave:
-
o
ne or more children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,
-

a c
hild or an animal in a vehicle which
is exposed to the sun, with the windows
closed,
-

t
he 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 on the rear windows.
Children at the front
For optimum installation of the "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
installing 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.
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.
Deactivate the passenger's airbag when a
"rear ward facing" child seat is installed on
the front seat. Otherwise, the child would risk
being seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were deployed.
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 it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harnesses keeping the slack in
relation to the child's body to a minimum
,
even for short journeys.
For the installation of a child seat using a
seat belt, ensure that this is well tensioned
on the child seat and that it is holding the
child seat firmly against the seat of your
vehicle. If your front passenger seat is
adjustable, move it forward if necessary.
At the rear seats, always leave sufficient
space between the front seat and:
-

a r

ear ward facing child seat,
-

t

he feet of a child seated in a for ward
facing child seat.
For this, move the front seat for ward and if
necessary straighten its backrest.
