Recommendations for use

If the interior temperature re-

mains very high after a pro-

longed period parked in the sun, ﬁrst

ventilate the passenger compartment

for a few minutes.

For an even air distribution, make

sure that you do not block the out-

side air inlet grille, the vents, the air

passages and the air outlets to the

footwells.

Ensure that the passenger compart-

ment ﬁlter, located below the wind-

screen, in the engine compartment,

is in good condition. Have the ﬁlter

elements replaced regularly. If you

drive in dusty conditions, change

them twice as often.

Operate the air conditioning system

for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a

month, to keep it in perfect working

order.

In order to ensure that your air condi-

tioning system continues to operate

correctly, you are advised to have it

checked regularly.

The condensation created by the air

conditioning results in a ﬂow of water

under the vehicle when stationary

which is perfectly normal.

VENTILATION

1. Windscreen demisting/defrosting

vent.

2. Side window demisting/

defrosting vents.

3. Side vents.

5. Air outlets to the footwells.

If the system does not produce

cold air, do not use it and contact a

CITROËN dealer or a qualiﬁed work-

shop.

The air conditioning system

does not contain chlorine

and does not present any

danger to the ozone layer.

GENERAL POINTS

RELATING TO CHILD SEATS

CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT

Although one of CITROËN's main

criteria when designing your vehicle,

the safety of your children also de-

pends on you.

"Rearwards-facing"

"Forwards-facing"

When a "forwards-facing" child seat

is installed on the front passenger

seat, adjust the vehicle's seat to the

intermediate longitudinal position

with the seat back upright and leave

the passenger airbag activated.

When a "rearwards-facing"

child seat is installed on the

front passenger seat, it is

essential that the passenger

airbag is deactivated. Otherwise, the

child would risk being seriously

injured or killed if the airbag were

to inﬂate.

For maximum safety, please

observe the following recom-

mendations:

-

in accordance with European

regulations, all children under

the age of 12 or less than one

and a half 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,

a child weighing less than 9 kg

must travel in the "rearwards-

facing" position both in the

front and in the rear.

CITROËN recommends that chil-

dren should travel in the rear seats

of your vehicle:

Intermediate longitudinal

position

-

"rearwards-facing" up to the

age of 2,

*

The rules for carrying children are

speciﬁc to each country. Refer to the

current legislation in your country.

-

"forwards-facing" over the

age of 2.

travel in the "forward facing" position

on the front passenger seat, unless

when a "rear facing" child seat is in-

stalled on the front seat.

As a safety precaution, do not leave:

-

ADVICE ON CHILD

SEATS

one or more children alone and

unsupervised in a vehicle,

The incorrect installation of a

child seat in a vehicle compromises

the child's protection in the event of

an accident.

Remember to fasten the seat belts or

the child seat harness keeping the

slack in relation to the child's body

to a minimum, even for short jour-

neys.

-

a child or an animal in a vehicle

which is exposed to the sun, with

the windows closed,

the keys within reach of children

inside the vehicle.

-

To protect young children from the

rays of the sun, ﬁt side blinds on the

rear windows.

Otherwise, the child would risk being

seriously injured or killed if the airbag

were to inﬂate.

To install a child seat using the ve-

hicle's seat belt, ensure that the belt

is well tightened on the child seat

and that it holds the child seat ﬁrmly

against the vehicle's seat.

Installing a booster seat

For optimum installation of the "for-

ward facing" child seat, ensure that

the back of the child seat is in contact

with the back of the vehicle's seat

and that the head restraint does not

cause any discomfort.

If the head restraint has to be removed,

ensure that it is stored or attached se-

curely to prevent it from being thrown

around the vehicle in the event of

sharp braking.

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, ﬁt-

ted with a seat belt guide at shoulder

level.
