Child safety

Child seat at the rear

Rearward facing

centre rear seat

Forward facing

A child seat with a support leg must never be

installed on the centre rear passenger seat.

When a rearward facing child seat is installed

on a rear passenger seat, move the vehicle's

front seat forward and straighten the backrest

so that the rearward facing child seat does not

touch the vehicle's front seat.

When a forward facing child seat is installed

on a rear passenger seat, move the vehicle's

front seat forward and straighten the backrest

so that the legs of the child in the forward

facing child seat do not touch the vehicle's front

seat.

The incorrect installation of a child seat

in a vehicle compromises the protection

of the child in the event of an accident.

Ensure that the seat belt is correctly

tensioned.

For child seats with a support leg,

ensure that this is in firm contact with

the floor. If necessary, adjust the front

seat of the vehicle.

"ISOFIX" mountings

Your vehicle has been approved in accordance with the latest ISOFIX regulations.

The seats, represented below, are fitted with regulation ISOFIX mountings:

To secure the child seat to the TOP TETHER:

-

remove and stow the head restraint before

installing the child seat on this seat (refit it

after the child seat has been removed),

open the TOP TETHER cover by pulling its

cut-out,

pass the child seat strap behind the seat

backrest, centred between the holes for the

head restraint rods,

-

a ring B, located under a cover on the back

of the top of the seat backrest, referred to as

the TOP TETHER for fixing the upper strap.

Its position is indicated by a marking.

-

secure the upper strap fixing to the ring B,

tighten the upper strap.

Located on the back of the seat backrest, the

top tether is used to secure the upper strap of

child seats that have one. This device limits

forward tipping of the child seat, in the event of

a front impact.

The ISOFIX mountings are three rings for each seat:

The incorrect installation of a child seat

in a vehicle compromises the child's

protection in the event of an accident.

Observe strictly the fitting instructions

provided with the child seat.

This ISOFIX mounting system ensures fast,

reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in your

vehicle.

The ISOFIX child seats are fitted with

two latches which are secured easily on the

two rings A.

Some also have an upper strap (or top tether)

which is 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 must 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.

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.

-

a rearward facing child seat,

the child's feet for a child seat fitted

forward facing.

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.

Otherwise, the child risks being seriously

injured or killed if the airbag is deployed.

Electric child lock

Remote control system to prevent opening of the rear doors using their interior controls and use of the rear electric windows.

Any other status of the indicator lamp

indicates a fault with the electric child

lock.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer

or a qualified workshop.
