               "ISOFIX" MOUNTINGS 

 There are three rings for each seat: 
   -   two rings  

A , located between the 

vehicle seat back and cushion, indi-

cated by a marking, 

  -  

a ring  B , behind the seat and identi-

fi ed by a marking, referred to as the 

 TOP TETHER  for fi xing the upper 

strap.  

 This ISOFIX mounting system provides 

fast, reliable and safe fi tting of the child 

seat in your vehicle. 
 The  ISOFIX child seats  are fi tted with 

two latches which are secured on the 

two rings  A . 
 Some seats also have an  upper strap , 

which is attached to ring  B . 

  The incorrect installation of a 

child seat in a vehicle compro-

mises the child's protection in 

the event of an accident. 
 Follow strictly the fi tting  instruc-

tions provided by with the child 

seat.  

  For information on the possibilities for 

installing ISOFIX child seats in your ve-

hicle, refer to the summary table.   

  When  fi 

tting an ISOFIX child 

seat to the left hand rear seat, 

before fi tting the seat, fi rst move 

the centre rear seat belt towards 

the middle of the vehicle, so as 

to avoid the seat interfering with 

the operation of the seat belt.  

  Your vehicle has been approved in ac-

cordance with the  latest  ISOFIX  regu-

lation . 
 The seats, represented below, are fi tted 

with regulation ISOFIX mountings: 

 To secure the child seat to the  

TOP 

TETHER:  
   -   remove and stow the head restraint 

before installing the child seat on the 

seat (refi t it once the child seat has 

been removed), 

  -   raise the carpet cover on the TOP 

TETHER, 

  -   pass the upper strap of the child seat 

behind the seat backrest, between the 

apertures for the head restraint rods, 

  -  

fi x the hook of the upper strap to the 

ring  B , 

  -  

tighten the upper strap.

 For optimum installation of the "for-

ward-facing" child seat, ensure that 

the back of the child seat is as close 

as possible to the backrest of the ve-

hicle's seat , in contact if possible. 
 You mst 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 pre-

vent it from being thrown around the 

vehicle in the event of sharp brak-

ing. Refi t the head restraint when the 

child seat is removed.   

      ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS  

  Installing a booster seat 

  Children at the front 

  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 fi rm-

ly on the seat of your vehicle. If your 

passenger seat is adjustable, move it 

forwards if necessary. 

  The legislation on carrying children on 

the front passenger seat is specifi c to 

each country. Refer to the legislation 

in force in your country. 
 Deactivate the passenger airbag 

when a "rearward-facing" child seat 

is installed on the front seat. 
 Otherwise, the child would risk being 

seriously injured or killed if the airbag 

were to infl ate.   

  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, fi t-

ted with a seat belt guide at shoulder 

level. 
 As a safety precaution, do not leave: 
   -   a child or children alone and un-

supervised in a vehicle, 

  -   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.  

 At rear seating positions, always 

leave suffi cient space between the 

front seat and: 
   -  

a "rearwards facing" child seat, 

  -   the child's feet for a child seat fi t-

ted "forwards facing".  

 To do this, move the front seat for-

wards and, if necessary, move its 

backrest into the upright position. 

 To prevent accidental opening of the 

doors and rear windows, use the 

"Child lock". 
 Take care not to open the rear win-

dows by more than one third. 
 To protect young children from the 

rays of the sun, fi t side blinds on the 

rear windows.

                 BRAKING ASSISTANCE 

SYSTEMS 

 Group of supplementary systems which 

help you to obtain optimum braking in 

complete safety in emergency situa-

tions: 
   -  

anti-lock braking system (ABS), 

  -   electronic brake force distribution 

(EBFD), 

  -  

emergency braking assistance (EBA).  

  When braking in an emergency, 

press very fi rmly without releas-

ing the pressure.  

  When replacing wheels (tyres 

and rims), ensure that they con-

form to the manufacturer's rec-

ommendations.   

 When braking in an emergency, 

press  fi 

rmly without releasing 

the pressure.   

  Anti-lock braking system 

and electronic brake force 

distribution 

 Linked systems which improve the sta-

bility and manoeuvrability of your vehi-

cle when braking, in particular on poor 

or slippery surfaces. 

  Activation 
 The anti-lock braking system comes 

into operation automatically when there 

is a risk of wheel lock. 
 Normal operation of the ABS may make 

itself felt by slight vibration of the brake 

pedal.  

  Operating fault 

 If this warning lamp comes on, 

accompanied by an audible 

signal and a message in the 

screen, it indicates a malfunc-

tion of the anti-lock braking system 

which could result in loss of control of 

the vehicle when braking. 

 If this warning lamp comes on, 

together with the  

STOP  and 

 ABS  warning lamps, accompa-

nied by an audible signal and 

a message in the screen, it indicates a 

malfunction of the electronic brake force 

distribution which could result in loss of 

control of the vehicle when braking. 
  You must stop as soon as it is safe 

to do so.  

          Emergency braking assistance 

 System which, in an emergency, en-

ables you to obtain the optimum braking 

pressure more quickly, thus reducing 

the stopping distance. 

  Activation 
 It is triggered by the speed at which the 

brake pedal is pressed. 
 The effect of this is a reduction in the 

resistance of the pedal and an increase 

in braking effi ciency. 

 In either case, contact a CITROËN 

dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

                  TRAJECTORY CONTROL 

SYSTEMS (ESP) 

  Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and 

electronic stability control (ESC) 

  The anti-slip regulation (also known as 

traction control) optimises traction to pre-

vent skidding of the wheels, by acting on 

the brakes of the driving wheels and on 

the engine. 
 The electronic stability control acts on 

the brake of one or more wheels and 

on the engine to keep the vehicle on the 

trajectory required by the driver, within 

the limits of the laws of physics.  

  Activation 
 These systems are activated automati-

cally each time the vehicle is started. 
 They come into operation in the event 

of a grip or trajectory problem. 

 This is indicated by fl ashing  of 

this warning lamp in the instru-

ment panel.   

       Intelligent traction control 

system ("Snow motion") 

 Your vehicle has a system to help driving 

on snow:  intelligent traction control.  
 This system detects situations of diffi -

cult surface adhesion that could make it 

diffi cult to move off or make progress on 

deep fresh snow or compacted snow. 
 In these situations, the  intelligent trac-

tion control  limits the amount of wheel 

slip to provide the best traction and tra-

jectory control for your vehicle. 
 In extremely severe conditions (deep 

snow, mud, ...), when it proves impos-

sible to move off, it may be useful to 

temporarily deactivate the ESP/ASR 

systems to allow the wheels to spin 

freely and so allow movement of the 

vehicle. 

   Deactivation 
 In exceptional conditions (starting a 

vehicle which is bogged down, stuck in 

snow, on soft ground...), if you are un-

able to make progress, it may be ad-

visable to temporarily deactivate these 

systems, so that the wheels can spin 

freely and allow the vehicle to move. 

      Press the  "ESP OFF"  button, locat-

ed near the steering wheel.  

 If the indicator lamp in the button comes 

on, this indicates that these systems 

are deactivated. 

  The use of snow tyres is strongly 

recommended on surfaces of-

fering low levels of adhesion.   

 It is recommended that the systems be 

reactivated as soon as possible.

 The trajectory control systems 

offer increased safety in normal 

driving, but this should not en-

courage the driver to take extra 

risks or drive at high speed. 
 The correct functioning of these 

systems is assured provided 

that manufacturer's recommen-

dations are observed on: 
   -  

wheels (tyres and rims), 

  -  braking 

components, 

  -  electronic 

components, 

  -   assembly and repair proce-

dures.  

 After an impact, have these sys-

tems checked by a CITROËN 

dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.   

  Reactivation 
 These systems are reactivated au-

tomatically each time the ignition is 

switched back on or from 30 mph 

(50 km/h). 
      Press the  "ESP OFF"  button again 

to reactivate them manually.   

 If this warning lamp in the instru-

ment panel and the " ESP OFF " 

indicator lamp in the button come 

on, accompanied by an audible 

signal and a message in the screen, this 

indicates a fault with these systems. 
 Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer 

or a qualifi ed workshop.

         EMERGENCY OR ASSISTANCE 

CALL 

  This system allows you to make an 

emergency or assistance call to the 

emergency services or to the dedicated 

CITROËN service.
