Child seats
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle  compromises   the   child's   protection   in  
t

he   event   of   an   accident.
Check
  that   there   is   no   seat   belt   or   seat   belt  
b

uckle   under   the   child   seat   as   this   could  
de

stabilise
 i
t.
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  
s

eat belt, ensure that this is well tensioned
on
  the   child   seat   and   that   it   is   holding   the  
c

hild   seat   firmly   against   the   seat   of   your  
v

ehicle.   If   your   front   passenger   seat   is  
a

djustable,   move   it   for ward   if   necessary.
At the rear seats, always leave sufficient
space
  between   the   front   seat   and:
-
 
a
  rear ward   facing   child   seat,
-

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

ptimum
 in
stallation
 o
f
 t
he
 fo
rward
 f
acing
 c

hild   seat,   ensure   that   the   back   of   the   child  
s

eat   is   as   close   as   possible   to   the   backrest  
o

f   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  
p

assenger
 sea
t.
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.Installing a booster
cushion
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  
c

losed,
-
 
t
he   keys   within   reach   of   children   inside  
t

he   vehicle.
To
  prevent   accidental   opening   of   the   doors,  
u

se   the   child   lock.
Take
  care   not   to   open   the   rear   windows   by  
m

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

he   sun,   fit   side   blinds   on   the   rear   windows.
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned
  on   the   child's   shoulder   without  
t

ouching   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  
g

uide   at   shoulder   level.

Fuel
Capacity of the tank: approximately 57 litres (petrol) or 55 litres (Diesel).
Low fuel levelRefuelling
When the low fuel level is reached,
this
  warning   lamp   comes   on   in   the  
in

strument panel, accompanied by an
audible
  warning   and   a   message   and  
t

P
ush   the   fuel   flap   to   close   it.
If you are filling your tank to the top, do
not persist after the 3rd cut- off; this could
cause malfunctions.
A label on the inside of the fuel filler flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to use,
depending
  on   your   engine   type.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to
be
  registered   by   the   fuel   gauge.
When it first comes on, about 6 litres of fuel
remain
 
in
 
the   tank.
Until sufficient fuel has been added, this
warning
 
lamp   appears   every   time   the   ignition  
i

s switched on, accompanied by an audible
warning
 
and   a   message.   This   audible   warning  
a

nd
 
message   are   repeated   with   increasing  
f

requency as the fuel level drops towards " 0".
Refuel
 
as
 
soon   as   possible   to   avoid   running   out.Opening
  the   filler   flap   may   result   in   an   inrush   of  
a

ir.   This   is   entirely   normal   and   results   from   the  
s

The petrol or Diesel engine of your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter, a device which
helps to reduce the level of harmful emissions
in
  the   exhaust   gases.
For petrol engines, you must use unleaded
fuel.
The
  filler   neck   is   narrower,   allowing   only  
u

nleaded   petrol   nozzles   to   be   introduced.
If you have put in the wrong fuel
for your vehicle, you must have the
fuel tank drained and filled with
the correct fuel before star ting the
engine.
Fuel cut- of f
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device
which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a
collision.
Misfuel prevention (Diesel)*
Operation
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel   filler   neck   of   your   Diesel   vehicle,   it   comes  
i

nto   contact   with   the   flap.   The   system   remains  
c

losed   and   prevents   filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle. Mechanical   device   which   prevents   filling   the   tank   of   a   Diesel   vehicle   with   petrol.   It   avoids   the   risk   of  
e

ngine   damage   that   can   result   from   filling   with   the   wrong   fuel.
It remains possible to use a fuel can to
fill   the   tank.
In   order   to   ensure   a   good   flow   of   fuel,  
d

o not place the nozzle of the fuel can
in direct contact with the flap of the
misfuel prevention device and pour
s l ow l y.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may
be different in other countries, the
presence of the misfuel prevention
device
  may   make   refuelling   impossible.
Before
  travelling   abroad,   we  
r

ecommend   that   you   check   with   the  
C

ITROËN   dealer   network,   whether   your  
v

ehicle is suitable for the fuel pumps in
the
  country   in   which   you   want   to   travel.
