The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's protection in
the event of an accident.
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 optimum installation of the for ward
facing child seat, ensure that the back of the
child seat is in contact with the back of the
vehicle's seat and that the head restraint
does not cause any discomfort.
If the head restraint has to be removed,
ensure that it is stored or attached securely
to prevent it from being thrown around the
vehicle in the event of sharp braking.
Advice on child seats
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.
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.
Deactivate the passenger's airbag when a
rear ward facing child seat is installed on the
front seat. Other wise, the child would risk
being seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were to inflate.
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.

Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not
block traffic: if possible, park the vehicle
on level, stable and non-slippery
ground.
Apply the parking brake, switch off the
ignition and engage first gear to lock
the wheels.
If necessary, place a chock under the
wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to
be changed.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use a stand.

Fitting a wheel
After changing a wheel
When using the "space-saver" spare
wheel, do not exceed a speed of
50 mph (80 km/h).
Have the tightening of the bolts and the
pressure of the spare wheel checked
by a CITR
oËn
dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay.
Have the punctured wheel repaired and
replace it on the vehicle as soon as
possible.
List of operations
F Put the wheel in place on the hub.
F S crew in the bolts fully by hand.
F
P

wheelbrace 1 fitted with the security
socket

(if your vehicle is equipped with
security wheel bolts).

Fitting snow tyres
If you equip your vehicle with snow
tyres fitted on steel wheel rims, special
bolts available from your CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop must
be used.
If the replacement of a tyre is
necessary on 4-wheel drive versions,
it is recommended that all four tyres be
replaced at the same time, ensuring
that the same make, model and size is
used on all wheels.
This is because using tyres of different
sizes, structure or rate of wear could
damage transmission components.
