Although one of CITROËN’s main cri-
teria when designing your vehicle, the
safety of your children also depends on
you.

INSTALLING A CHILD SEAT USING A THREE POINT SEAT BELT

Intermediate longitudinal position

* The rules for transporting children are

speciﬁ c to each country. Consult the

current legislation in your country.

GENERAL POINTS RELATING
TO CHILD SEATS

“Forwards-facing”

“Rearwards-facing”

For maximum safety, please follow

these precautions:
-

in accordance with Directive
2003/20, all children under the
age of 12 or less than one me-

tre ﬁ fty * tall must travel in ap-

proved child seats suited to
their weight ,

on seats ﬁ tted with

a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings * ,

statistically, the safest seats in
your  vehicle  for  the  transpor-
tation  of  children  are  the  rear
seats,

a child weighing less than 9 kg
must  travel  in  the  “rearwards-
facing”  position  both  in  the
front and in the rear.

When

“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 inﬂ ate.

  CITROËN    recommends   that  children
should travel in the  rear seats  of your
vehicle:
   -

“rearwards-facing” up to the age
of 2,

“forwards-facing” over the age
of 2.

When  a  “forwards-facing”  child  seat  is
installed on the  front passenger seat ,
adjust the vehicle’s seat to the interme-
diate longitudinal position with the seat
back  upright  and  leave  the  passenger
air bag armed.

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS

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  harnesses  keeping  the
slack in relation to the child’s body to a
minimum, even for short journeys.
For  optimum  installation  of  the  “for-
ward  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.
If  the  head  restraint  has  to  be  re-
moved,  ensure  that  it  is  stored  or  at-
tached securely to prevent it from be-
ing  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 inﬂ ate.

  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, ﬁ t-

ted with a seat belt guide at shoulder
level.

As a safety precaution, do not leave:
-

one or more children alone and un-
supervised in a vehicle,

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  prevent  accidental  opening  of  the
doors, use the “Child lock”.
Take  care  not  to  open  the  rear  win-
dows by more than one third.
To  protect  young  children  from  the

rays of the sun, ﬁ t side blinds on the

rear windows.
