ADVICE ON CHILD
SEATS
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.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
one or more children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,
The incorrect installation of a child
seat in a vehicle compromises the
child’s protection in the event of an
accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or
the child seat harness keeping the
slack in relation to the child’s body to
a minimum, even for short journeys.
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.
-
-
a child or an animal in a vehicle
which is exposed to the sun,
with the windows closed,
-
the keys within reach of children
inside the vehicle.
To protect young children from the
rays of the sun, fit side blinds on the
rear windows.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the air
bag were to inflate.
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.
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.
PEUGEOT recommends the use of
a booster seat which has a back,
fitted with a seat belt guide at
shoulder level.
