when designing your vehicle, the safety of

your children also depends on you.

than one metre fifty tall must travel in

approved child seats suited to their

weight, on seats fitted with a seat belt or

ISOFIX mountings.

vehicle for the transportation of children

are the rear seats,

Recommended on the rear seats up to the

age of 2.

Recommended on the rear seats over the

age of 2.

When a "rearwards-facing" child seat is

installed on the front passenger seat, it

is essential that the passenger air bag is

disarmed. Otherwise, the child would risk

being seriously injured or killed if the air bag

were to inflate.

When a "forwards-facing" child seat is

installed on the front passenger seat, leave

the passenger air bag armed.

a child weighing less than 9 kg must

travel in the "rearwards-facing" position

both in the front and in the rear,

the passenger must not travel with a

child on his lap.

The rules for transporting children are

specific to each country. Consult the current

legislation in your country.

Please consult the list of seats approved

in your country. The isofix mountings, the

Child safety

As a safety precaution, do not leave:

Installing a booster seat

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS

-

one or more children alone and

unsupervised in a vehicle,

The chest part of the seat belt must be

positioned on the child’s shoulder without

touching the neck.

The incorrect installation of a child seat in a

vehicle compromises the child’s protection in

the event of an accident.

-

a child or an animal in a vehicle which

is exposed to the sun, with the windows

closed,

Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt

passes correctly over the child’s thighs.

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.

-

the keys within reach of children inside

the vehicle.

CITROËN recommends the use of a booster

seat which has a back, fitted with a seat belt

guide at shoulder level.

To prevent accidental opening of the doors,

use the "Child Lock".

For optimum installation of the "forward

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.

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 to the rear windows.

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.

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.

Disarm the passenger air bag when a "rear

facing" child seat is installed on the front

seat.

Otherwise, the child would risk being

seriously injured or killed if the air bag were

to inflate.
