Available on the two side rear seats, and on the front passenger seat, theIsofix mountings allow for fitting of aspecial child seat , sold by PEUGEOT
dealers The locks incorporated in the child seat fit onto the Isofix mountingsand ensure safe, reliable and fast
assembly. In the front
, the child seat must be
fitted in the "rear facing" position forchildren from birth to 13 kg: front
seat as far forward as possible so
that the body of the child seat is incontact with or as close as possibleto the fascia.In this case, it is essential to dis-arm the passenger air bag. There is a risk that the child may be killed or seriously injured if theair bag inflates. In exceptional cases, the child seat may be fitted in the "forwards facing"position if the rear seats are alreadyoccupied by other children or if therear seats cannot be used (not pres-ent, folded down). In this case, usethe Isofix mountings, the restrainingcushion of the child seat and theseat belt and adjust the front pas-senger seat to the most rearward
position. The passenger air bag maybe left active. In the rear , the child seat may be fit-
ted in the "rear facing" or "forwards facing" position. In this case, thefront seat must be in mid-wayposition, with the seat backupright .
The combined use of the Isofixmountings, the restraining cushionof the child seat and the seat belt iscompulsory for a "forwards facing"seat. The special approved child seat is
the Isofix KIDDY seat. It can be usedin the "rear facing" position frombirth to 13 kg and "forwards facing"from 9 to 18 kg. This seat can also be used on seats not fitted with Isofix mountings: it isthen compulsory to attach it to thevehicle's seat using the three-pointseat belt.

** Unless the rear seats are already occupied by other children or the rear seats cannot be used (because they are missing or folded down). In this case, move the front passenger seat as far back as possible and leave the air bag active.
Never leave a child or an animal in a vehicle whichis exposed to the sunand has the windows
closed. Never leave the keys within
reach of children inside the car. Disarm the passenger air bag when installing a "rearwards fac-ing'" child seat on the front pas-senger seat.
