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.

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.
