GENERAL POINTS RELATING

TO CHILD SEATS

CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT

"Rearwards-facing"

"Forwards-facing"

Although one of CITROËN's main cri-

teria when designing your vehicle, the

safety of your children also depends on

you.

For maximum safety, please observe

the following recommendations:

-

in accordance with European reg-

ulations, all children under the

age of 12 or less than one and a

half metres tall must travel in ap-

proved child seats suited to their

weight, on seats ﬁtted with a seat

belt or ISOFIX mountings*,

When a "rearwards-facing" child

When a "forwards-facing" child seat is

installed on the front passenger seat,

adjust the vehicle's seat to the interme-

diate longitudinal position with the seat

back upright and leave the passenger

airbag activated.

seat is installed on the front

passenger seat, it is essential

that the passenger airbag is deacti-

vated. Otherwise, the child would

risk being seriously injured or

killed if the airbag were to inﬂate.

-

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 children

should travel in the rear seats of your ve-

hicle:

Intermediate longitudinal position

-

"rearwards-facing" up to the age of 2,

"forwards-facing" over the age of 2.

* The rules for carrying children are

speciﬁc to each country. Refer to the

current legislation in your country.

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS

The incorrect installation of a child Installing a booster seat

Mechanical system to prevent open-

ing of the rear doors using their interior

controls.

The control is located on the edge of

each rear door.

seat in a vehicle compromises the

child's protection in the event of an ac-

cident.

The chest part of the seat belt must

be positioned on the child's shoulder

without touching the neck.

Remember to fasten the seat belts or

the child seat harnesses keeping the

slack in relation to the child's body to

a minimum, even for short journeys.

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.

Children under the age of 10 must not

travel in the "forward facing" position

on the front passenger seat, unless

the rear seats are already occupied

by other children, cannot be used or

are absent.

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.

Child lock on

V

As a safety precaution, do not leave:

-

one or more 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.

) Lower the control A to position 1.

To prevent accidental opening of the

doors, 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, ﬁt side blinds on the

rear windows.

Deactivate the passenger's airbag

when a "rear facing" child seat is in-

stalled on the front seat. Otherwise,

the child would risk being seriously

injured or killed if the airbag were to

inﬂate.
