Safety

Lateral airbags

General points relating to

child seats

Ensure that the seat belt is positioned and

tightened correctly.

For child seats with a support leg, ensure

that the support leg is in firm and steady

contact with the floor.

At the front: if necessary, adjust the

passenger seat.

At the rear: if necessary, adjust the

relevant front seat.

Use only approved covers on the seats,

compatible with the deployment of the

lateral airbags. For information on the

product range of seat covers suitable for

your vehicle, contact a CITROËN dealer.

Do not fix or attach anything to the seat

backrests (clothes, etc.) as this could

cause injuries to the thorax or arm when

the lateral airbag is deployed.

Do not sit with the upper part of the body

any nearer to the door than necessary.

The vehicle's front door panels include

side impact sensors.

A damaged door or any unauthorised or

incorrectly executed work (modification or

repair) on the front doors or their interior

trim could compromise the operation of

these sensors – risk of malfunction of the

lateral airbags!

Such work must only be done by

a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

workshop.

The regulations on carrying children are

specific to each country. Refer to the

legislation in force in your country.

For maximum safety, please observe the

following recommendations:

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.

Remove and stow the head restraint

before installing a child seat with backrest

on a passenger seat.

Refit the head restraint once the child seat

has been removed.

Statistically, the safest seats in your

vehicle for carrying children are the rear

seats.

A child weighing less than 9 kg must

travel in the rearward facing position

both in the front and in the rear.

Child seat at the rear

"Rearward facing"

It is recommended that children travel on

the rear seats of your vehicle:

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.

"rearward facing" up to the age of 3,

"forward facing" over the age of 3.

"Rearward facing"

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

front seat.

When a "rearward facing" child seat is installed

on the front passenger seat, adjust the

3rd row seats

The front passenger airbag must be

deactivated. Otherwise, the child risks

being seriously injured or killed in case

of airbag deployment.

Deactivating the front

passenger airbag

When a child seat is installed on a rear

passenger seat in the 3^rdrow, move the

seats in the 2^ndrow forward and straighten the

backrest so that the child seat and the child's

legs do not touch the seat in the 2^ndrow.

A child seat with a support leg must never be

installed on a rear passenger seat in the 3rd

row,

Never install a "rearward facing" child

restraint system on a seat protected by an

active front airbag. This could cause the

death of the child or serious injury.

When a "forward facing" child seat is

installed on the front passenger seat,

adjust the vehicle's seat to the intermediate

longitudinal and lowest position, with the
