COMFORT
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.
Deactivate the passenger airbag*
when a "rear facing" child seat is in-
stalled on the front seat.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:

ADVICE ON CHILD
SEATS
one or more children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,
The incorrect installation of a
child seat in a vehicle compromises
the child's protection in the event of
an accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or
the child seat harness keeping the
slack in relation to the child's body
to a minimum, even for short jour-
neys.
-
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 protect young children from the
rays of the sun, fit side blinds on the
rear windows.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were to inflate.
To install a child seat using the ve-
hicle's seat belt, ensure that the belt
is well tightened on the child seat
and that it holds the child seat firmly
against the vehicle's seat.
Installing a booster seat
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.
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, fit-
ted with a seat belt guide at shoulder
level.
