"ISOFIX" MOUNTINGS

Refer to the advice given on the

label present on both sides of the

passenger's sun visor.

These seats are ﬁtted with ISOFIX

mountings.

These are two rings located between

the seat back and the seat cushion.

The ISOFIX child seats are ﬁtted with

two locks which are secured easily on

these rings.

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.

This ISOFIX mounting system

guarantees reliable, safe and fast

ﬁtting of the child seat in your vehicle.

Take care not to open the rear windows

by more than one third.

If the head restraint has to be removed,

ensure that it is stored or attached

securely to prevent it from being

thrown around the vehicle in the event

of sharp braking.

To protect young children from the

rays of the sun, ﬁt side blinds to

the rear windows.

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.

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.

Deactivate the passenger airbag when

a "rear facing" child seat is installed on

the front seat.

Otherwise, the child would risk being

seriously injured or killed if the airbag

were to inﬂate.
