vehicle:

-

travel in approved child seats suited to

their weight, on seats fitted with a seat

belt or ISOFIX mountings*,

-

rearward facing up to the age of 3,

forward facing over the age of 3.

-

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 rearward facing position

both in the front and in the rear.

* The regulations on carrying children are

specific to each country. Refer to the

legislation in force in your country.

"ISOFIX" mountings

Your vehicle is approved to the latest ISOFIX

regulations.

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,

The seats represented below, are fitted with

regulation ISOFIX mountings.

-

tighten the upper strap.

-

a ring B, located in the roof, with the TOP

TETHER logo, for fixing the upper strap.

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:

7

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.

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.

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.

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.

Child safety

Advice

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.

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.

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.

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,

Children at the front

-

At rear seating positions, always leave

sufficient space between the front seat and:

The legislation on carrying children on the

front passenger seat is specific to each

country. Refer to the legislation in force in

your country.

-

a rearward facing child seat,

the child's feet for a child seat fitted

forward facing.

-

the keys within reach of children inside

the vehicle.

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.

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.

To do this, move the front seat forwards

and, if necessary, move its backrest into the

upright position.
