GENERAL POINTS RELATING

TO CHILD SEATS

CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT

Although one of CITROËN's main

criteria when designing your vehicle,

the safety of your children also de-

pends on you.

For maximum safety, please observe

the following recommendations:

"Rearwards-facing"

"Forwards-facing"

When a "rearwards-facing" child seat

is installed on the front passenger

seat, it is essential that the passenger

airbag is deactivated. Otherwise, the

child would risk being seriously in-

jured or killed if the airbag were to

inﬂate.

When a "forwards-facing" child seat

is installed on the front passenger

seat, adjust the vehicle's seat to the

intermediate longitudinal position

with the seat back upright and leave

the passenger airbag activated.

-

in accordance with European

regulations, all children under

the age of 12 or less than one

and a half metres tall must

travel in approved child seats

suited to their weight, on seats

ﬁtted with a seat belt or ISOFIX

mountings*,

-

statistically, the safest seats in

your vehicle for carrying chil-

dren 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.

VII

Intermediate longitudinal

position

CITROËN recommends that chil-

dren should travel in the rear seats

of your vehicle:

-

"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.

Passenger airbag OFF

VII

To assure the safety of your child, you must deactivate the passenger's front

airbag when you install a child seat in the rearwards facing position on the

front passenger's seat.

Otherwise, there is a risk that the child could be seriously injured or killed if

the airbag were deployed.

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS

The incorrect installation of a child

seat in a vehicle compromises the

child's protection in the event of an

accident.

When installing a child seat using the

seat belt, check 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.

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.

Children under the age of 10 must

not travel in the "forwards-facing"

position on the front passenger seat,

unless the rear seats are already oc-

cupied by other children, cannot be

used or are absent.

Deactivate the passenger airbag*

when a "rearwards-facing" child

seat is installed on the front seat.

Otherwise, the child would risk be-

ing seriously injured or killed if the

airbag were to inﬂate.

Installing a booster seat

The chest part of the seat belt must

be positioned on the child's shoul-

der 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.

For optimum installation of the "for-

wards-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 re-

moved, ensure that it is stored or

attached securely to prevent it from

being thrown around the vehicle in

the event of sharp braking.

As a safety precaution, do not leave:

one or more children alone and

unsupervised in a vehicle,

-

VII

-

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 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.

* According to country and current

local legislation.
