Safety

136
C1_en_Chap06_securite_ed01-2016
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  
c

hild   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  
o

n   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  
f

acing   child   seat.
For
  this,   move   the   front   seat   for ward   and   if  
n

ecessary   straighten   its   backrest.
Recommendations on child seats
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  
s

eat   which   has   a   back,   fitted   with   a   seat   belt  
g

uide   at   shoulder   level.
As
  a   safety   precaution,   never   leave:
-
 
o
ne   or   more   children   alone   and  
u

nsupervised   in   a   vehicle,
-
 
a
  child   or   an   animal   in   a   vehicle   which  
i

s   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.

Low fuel levelRefuelling
When the low fuel level is reached, t

a

ccompanied   by   an   audible   signal.
The
 
message   "LO   FUEL"   is   displayed   in   place  
o

f

You have approximately 5 litres remaining.
In
 
certain
  driving   conditions   and   depending   on  
t

he
 
engine,   the   distance   which   can   be   travelled  
w

ith
 
the
 
fuel   remaining   may   be   less   than  
3

0 miles
 
(50   km). To
  refuel   in   complete   safety:
F

If

in   the   instrument   panel.   It   will   go   off  
a

utomatically   after   the   engine   has   been  
s

tarted   a   few   times. Refuelling
  must   only   be   done   with the engine
stopped and the ignition switched off ( ignition s

witch in the "LOCK" position or " OFF"
  mode).
The capacity of the fuel tank is approximately 35 litres.
Additions  of   fuel   must   be   of   at   least   5   litres   to  
b

e   registered   by   the   fuel   gauge.
A
  label   on   the   inside   of   the   flap   reminds   you  
w

hich   type   of   fuel   to   use.
There
  may   be   an   inrush   of   air   when   removing  
t

he   filler   cap.   This   vacuum   is   per fectly   normal  
a

nd   results   from   the   sealing   of   the   fuel   system.

Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.
Advice on installation
F If  you   have   to   fit   the   chains   during   a  j
ourney,   stop   the   vehicle   on   a   flat   sur face  
o

n   the   side   of   the   road.
F
 
A
pply   the   parking   brake   and   position   any  
w

heel   chocks   to   prevent   movement   of   your  
v

ehicle.
F
 
F
it   the   chains   following   the   instructions  
p

rovided   by   the   manufacturer.
F
 
M
ove   off   gently   and   drive   for   a   few  
m

oments,   without   exceeding   30   mph  
(50
  km/h).
F
 
S
top   your   vehicle   and   check   that   the   snow  
c

hains   are   correctly   tightened.
Take
 
account
 
of

The
 
snow
 
chains
 
must

System which manages the duration of use of certain functions to conserve a sufficient level of charge   in   the   battery.
After
  the   engine   has   stopped,   you   can   still   use   functions   such   as   the   audio   system, windscreen  
w

ipers,   dipped   beam   headlamps, courtesy   lamps,   etc.   for   a   maximum   combined   duration   of  
t

wenty minutes.
This
  period   may   be   greatly   reduced   if   the   battery   is   not   fully   charged.
Let
  the   engine   run   for   the   duration  
s

pecified   to   ensure   that   the   battery  
c

harge   is   sufficient.
Do
  not   repeatedly   and   continuously

Refer
  to   the   "Battery"   section.
Switching to economy mode
Once this time has elapsed the active functions are   put   on   standby.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated automatically next   time   the   vehicle   is   driven.
To restore the use of these functions
