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

-

The legislation on carrying children on the

front passenger seat is specific to each

country. Refer to the legislation in force in

your country.

Deactivate the passenger's front airbag

when a rearward facing child seat is installed

on the front passenger seat.

-

the keys within reach of children inside

the vehicle.

At rear seating positions, always leave

sufficient space between the front seat and:

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.

-

a rearward facing child seat,

the child's feet for a child seat fitted

forward facing.

Otherwise, the child risks being seriously

injured or killed if the airbag is deployed.

To do this, move the front seat forwards

and, if necessary, move its backrest into the

upright position.
