Advice
Child seats
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's protection 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 harnesses 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 seat of your
vehicle. If your passenger seat is adjustable,
move it for wards if necessary.
At rear seating positions, always leave
sufficient space between the front seat and:
-
a r
ear ward facing child seat,
-
t
he child's feet for a child seat fitted
forward facing.
To do this, move the front seat for wards
and, if necessary, move its backrest into the
upright position. For optimal installation of the forward-facing
child seat, verify that its backrest is as close
as possible to the backrest of the vehicle
seat, or if possible in contact with it.
You must remove the head restraint before
installing a child seat with backrest to 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.
Children in front
The legislation on carrying children 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's front airbag when
a rear ward facing child seat is installed on
the front passenger seat. Otherwise, the child
risks being seriously injured or killed if the
airbag were deployed.
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.
CITROËN recommends using a booster seat
with a backrest equipped with a belt guide at
shoulder level.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
-
a c
hild or children alone and unattended in
a vehicle,
-
a c
hild or an animal in a vehicle under the
sun, with the windows closed,
-
t
he keys within the 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.

The adaptive cruise control operates by
day and night, in fog or moderate rainfall.
The system does not act on the braking
system, but works only with engine
braking.
The regulation range is limited: there will
no longer be any adjustment of speed if
the difference between the programmed
speed setting and the speed of the vehicle
in front becomes too high.
If the difference between the programmed
speed setting and the speed of the
vehicle in front is too great, the speed
cannot be adjusted: the cruise control is
automatically deactivated.Collision Risk Alert and
