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.

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.
