Locations for child seats secured using a seat belt
In accordance with European regulations, this table indicates the options for installing child seats secured using the seat belt and universally approved
(a ) in relation to the weight of the child and the seat in the vehicle.
( a ) Universal child seat: child seat that can be
installed in any vehicle using the seat belt.
(b) Group 0: from birth to 10 kg. Carrycots
and "car cots" cannot be installed on the front
passenger seat.
When installed in the 2
nd row, they may prevent
the use of one or more seats.
(c) Refer to the legislation in force in your
country before putting your child in this
position. (d)
When a "rear ward facing" child seat
is placed on the front passenger seat, the
front passenger airbag must be deactivated.
Otherwise, the child could risk being seriously
injured or killed if the airbag were deployed.
When a "for ward facing" child seat is installed
on the front passenger seat, leave the front
passenger airbag activated. (
e ) To install a child seat on a rear seat,
"rear ward facing" or "for ward facing", move the
front seat for ward, then straighten the backrest
to allow enough space for the child seat and
the child's legs.
( f ) A child seat with support leg must never be

In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F

T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on an incline
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
F

I
f this warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible. New vehicle
Do not pull a trailer before having driven at
least 620 miles (1,000 kilometres).
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height
of your vehicle.
For more information on Headlamp
beam height adjustment , refer to the
corresponding section.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid
functions are automatically disabled if an
approved towing device is used. If the exterior temperature is high, it is
recommended that the engine be allowed
to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the vehicle
comes to a stop, to facilitate its cooling.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip which has
a secret code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised to enable
vehicle start.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks
the engine management system a moment
after the ignition is switched off and prevents
unauthorised engine starting.
In the event of a fault, you are
informed by the illumination of this
warning lamp, an audible signal and
a message in the screen.
In this case, your vehicle will not start; contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible.
For safety and theft protection reasons,
do not leave your electronic key in the
vehicle, even when you are close to it.
It is recommended that you keep it with
you.
