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 manufacturer's service
schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR
system is faulty your vehicle becomes polluting;
go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay to have the emissions
of nitrogen oxides brought back to the legal
level. 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.

could cause injuries during their deployment.
Never modify the original definition of your
vehicle, particularly in the area directly
around the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

a few milliseconds) then deflates within
the same time discharging the hot gas via
openings provided for this purpose.

spokes or resting your hands on the centre
part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags

"ISOFIX" mountings
The incorrect installation of a child seat
in a vehicle compromises the child's
protection in the event of an accident.
For information on the possibilities for
installing ISOFIX child seats in your
vehicle, refer to the locations table. Observe strictly the fitting instructions
provided with the child seat.
Your vehicle has been approved to the latest
ISOFIX regulation.
If fitted on your vehicle, the regulation ISOFIX
mountings are located by labels.
The mountings comprise three rings for each
seat:
-

T

wo front rings A , located between
the vehicle seat backrest and cushion,
indicated by an "ISOFIX" marking,
-

I

f fitted to your vehicle, a rear ring B ,
located behind the vehicle's seat, called
the Top Tether, for securing the upper
strap, indicated by a "Top Tether" marking.
The Top Tether is used to secure the upper
strap of child seats that have one. In the event
of a front impact, this system limits the for ward
tipping of the child seat. This ISOFIX mounting system provides 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 .

Recommendations
The legislation on carrying a child on the
front passenger seat is specific to each
country. Refer to the legislation in force in
the country in which you are driving.
Deactivate the passenger front airbag when
a rear ward facing child seat is installed on
the front passenger seat. Otherwise, the
child would risk being seriously injured or
killed if the airbag were deployed. 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 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 for ward 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.
Children at the front
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.
