When a rearward facing child seat is installed
on a rear passenger seat, move the vehicle's
front seat forward and straighten the backrest
so that the rearward facing child seat does not
touch the vehicle's front seat.

When a forward facing child seat is installed
on a rear passenger seat, move the vehicle's
front seat forward and straighten the backrest
so that the legs of the child in the forward
facing child seat do not touch the vehicle's front
seat.

Child seat in the front*

Rearward facing

When a rearward facing child seat is installed
on the front passenger seat, adjust the seat to
the intermediate longitudinal position, with the
backrest straightened.
The passenger's front airbag must be

airbag were to inflate.

Forward facing

When a forward facing child seat is installed on
the front passenger seat, adjust the vehicle's
seat to the intermediate longitudinal position
with seat backrest straightened and leave the
passenger's front airbag activated.

* Refer to the current legislation in your country

before installing your child on the front seat.

Ensure that the seat belt is correctly
tensioned.
For child seats with a support leg,
ensure that the support leg is in stable
contact with the floor. If necessary,
adjust the passenger seat.

"ISOFIX" mountings

-

2 rings A

, located between the backrest

and the seat cushion, identified by a label,

-

a ring B

, located in the roof, with the TOP

TETHER

logo, for fixing the upper strap.

The TOP TETHER is used to secure the
upper strap of child seats that have one. This
arrangement limits the forward tipping of the
child seat in the event of a front impact.

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 child seat upper strap between

the apertures for the head restraint rods,

- fix the hook on the upper strap to the

ring B,

-

tighten the upper strap.

Your vehicle is approved to the latest ISOFIX
regulations.
The seats represented below, are fitted with
regulation ISOFIX mountings.

If a child is not installed in a vehicle
correctly, the child's protection in the
event of an accident will be compromised.

There are 3 rings for each seat:

Follow strictly the advice given in the
installation instructions provided with
the child seat.

This ISOFIX mounting system provides reliable,
safe and fast fitting of the child seat in your
vehicle.

ISOFIX child seats

are fitted with two latches

which are secured easily on these rings A.
Some also have an upper strap

which can be

attached to ring B.

Refer to the table for the possibilities for fitting
ISOFIX child seats in your vehicle.
The rear seats must be in the fully back
position to install ISOFIX seats.

C3Picasso_en_Chap07_securite-enfants_ed01-2015

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 forwards if necessary.
At rear seating positions, always leave
sufficient space between the front seat and:
- a rearward facing child seat,
-

the child's feet for a child seat fitted
forward facing.

To do this, move the front seat forwards
and, if necessary, move its backrest into the
upright position.

For optimum installation of the forward facing
child seat, ensure that the back of the child
seat is as close as possible to the backrest of
the vehicle'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 prevent it from being
thrown around the vehicle in the event of
sharp braking. Refit the head restraint when
the child seat is removed.

As a safety precaution, do not leave:
-

a child or children alone and
unsupervised 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.

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 rays of the
sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.

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 the use of a booster
seat which has a back, fitted with a seat belt
guide at shoulder level.

Advice

Children at the front

The legislation on carrying children on the
front passenger seat is specific to each
country. Refer to the legislation in force in
your country.
Deactivate the passenger's front airbag
when a rearward facing child seat is installed
on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child risks being seriously
injured or killed if the airbag is deployed.

workshop.

This system is independent and in no
circumstances does it take the place of
the central locking system.
Check the status of the child lock each

Audible warning to alert other road users to an
imminent danger.

Under-inflation detection

System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.

The system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised every time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres.

The under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance
on the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
road holding, extends braking distances
and causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous condition
(high loading, high speed, long journey).

The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label.
For more information on the
identification markings, refer to the
corresponding section.
Tyre pressures should be checked
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of
less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
speeds).
Otherwise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to
the pressures shown on the label.

Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.

Under-inflation alert

This is given by fixed illumination of
this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal and, depending on
equipment, the display of a message.

F Reduce speed immediately, avoid

excessive steering movements and sudden
braking.

F Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe

to do so.

The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual
check.

The alert is maintained until the system
is reinitialised.

F In the event of a puncture, use the

temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment),

or
F if you have a compressor, such as the one

in the temporary puncture repair kit, check
the pressures of the four tyres when cold,

or
F if it is not possible to make this check

immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.

Reinitialisation

It is necessary to reinitialise the system every
time one or more tyre pressure is adjusted, and
after changing one or more wheels.
A label attached to the middle pillar, driver's
side, gives a reminder of this.

Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the
tyre pressure label.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
