Safety
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any 
nearer to the door than necessary.
The vehicle's front door panels include side 
impact sensors.
A damaged door or any unauthorised or 
incorrectly executed work (modification or 
repair) on the front doors or their interior trim 
could compromise the operation of these 
sensors - risk of malfunction of the lateral 
airbags!
All work must be carried out only by a 
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof, 
as this could cause head injuries when the 
curtain airbag is deployed.
Do not remove the grab handles installed on 
the roof, as these help to secure the curtain 
airbags.
Child seats
The regulations on carrying children are  specific to each country. Refer to the 
legislation in force in your country.
For maximum safety, please observe the 
following recommendations:
–
 
In accordance with European regulations, 
all children under the age of 12 or less than 
1,5 metres tall must travel in approved child 
seats suited to their weight , on seats fitted with 
a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings.
–
 
Statistically
 , the safest seats in your 
vehicle for carrying children are the rear 
seats.
–
 
Children weighing less than 9 kg must 
travel in the "rearward facing" position, 
whether in the front or rear of the vehicle.
It is recommended that children travel 
on the rear seats  of the vehicle:
–
 
‘rearward facing’ up to the age of 3,
–
 
‘forward facing’ over the age of 3.
Make sure that the seat belt is correctly 
positioned and tightened.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure that 
the support leg is in firm and steady contact 
with the floor.
An incorrectly installed child seat in a  vehicle compromises the child's safety in 
the event of an accident.
Ensure 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 harness keeping the slack relative 
to the child's body to a minimum, even for 
short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat 
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened 
correctly on the child seat and that it secures 
the child seat firmly on the vehicle seat. If 
the passenger seat is adjustable, move it 
forwards if necessary.
Remove the head restraint before 
installing a child seat with a backrest on a 
passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is stored or 
attached securely to prevent it from being 
thrown around the vehicle in the event of 
sharp braking. Refit the head restraint once 
the child seat has been removed.
Installing a booster seat
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.
Use a booster seat with a backrest, equipped 
with a belt guide at shoulder level.
Additional protections
To prevent accidental opening of the 
doors and rear windows, use the "Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear windows by 
more than one third.
To protect young children from the sun's rays, 
fit side blinds on the rear windows.
As a safety measure, do not leave:
–
 
A
 child alone and unsupervised inside a 
vehicle.

of the passenger sun visor:

Deactivating the front 
passenger airbag
To ensure the safety of the child, the front passenger airbag MUST be deactivated 
when a "rearward facing" child seat is 
installed on the front passenger seat. 
Otherwise, the child risks being seriously 
injured or killed in the event of deployment of 
the   airbag.
Vehicles not equipped with a 
deactivation/reactivation control
Installing a "rearward
  facing" child seat on the 
front passenger seat or bench seat is strictly 
prohibited - risk of death or serious injury in 
the event of airbag deployment!
 
 
 
 
With the Extenso Cab or the Crew cab, 
deactivate the front passenger airbag 
when transporting long objects.

with the latest ISOFIX regulation.

seat backrest and cushion, indicated by an 
"ISOFIX" marking,
–
 
If fitted to your vehicle, a rear ring
   B, located 
behind the vehicle's seat, called Top Tether, for 
securing the upper strap, indicated by a "Top 
Tether" marking.
The Top Tether secures the upper strap of child 
seats fitted with them. In case of frontal impact,  this device limits the extent to which the child 
seat can tilt forward.
This ISOFIX mounting system provides fast, 
reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in the 
vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats are fitted with two 
latches which are secured on the two front 
rings
  A.
Some child seats also have an upper strap which 
is attached to rear ring   B.
To secure the child seat to the Top Tether:
–  remove and stow the head restraint before 
installing a child seat on this seat (refit it once 
the child seat has been removed),
–
 
pass the strap
   of the   child seat over the top 
of the seat backrest, centring it between the 
openings for the head restraint rods,
–
 
attach the hook of the upper strap to rear 
ring
  B,
–
 
tighten the upper strap.
