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.

"ISOFIX" mountings
Row 2
* On some versions, the central seat is not
equipped with ISOFIX mountings.
The vehicle has been approved in accordance
with the latest ISOFIX regulation.
If fitted on the vehicle, the regulation ISOFIX
mountings are identified by labels.
There are three rings for each seat:
–
T
wo front rings A, located between the vehicle
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.
