CHILD SEATS Although one of PEUGEOT's main concerns when designing your vehicle, the safety of your children also depends on you.
For maximum safety, please follow these precautions:
- All children under the age of 10 must travel in a special approved child seat*, adapted to their weight, in a seat fitted with a seat belt.
- Front passenger seat*: children under the age of 10 must not travel in the "forwards facing" position**. The "rearwards facing" position is permitted. In this position, it is compulsory to disarm the passenger air bag.
After carrying out numerous tests, PEUGEOT recommends the following systems: Up to 18 months (up to 13 kg) "Ršmer Babysure": installed with its back to the engine in the front or in the rear using a three-point seat belt. In the front, the passenger seat must be in the "mid-way"position on the slide.
From 9 months to 3 or 4 years (9 to 18 kg) "Ršmer Prince": installed in the rear using a three-point seat belt.For the safety of your child, the seat and the restraining cushion must never be separated.
From 3 to 6 years (15 to 25 kg) "Ršmer Vario'': installed in the rear with a three point seat belt.

From 3 to 10 years (15 to 36 kg)"Recaro start'': installed in the rear with a three-point seat belt. The height, width and length of the seat must be adjusted according to the age and build of your child. "Klippan Optima": installed in the rear with a three-point seat belt. From the age of 6 years (approximately 22 kg), the booster is used on its own.
Remember, even for short journeys, to fasten the three-point seat belts or thechild seat straps, keeping the slack in relation to the child's body to a minimum.
To prevent the doors from opening accidentally, use the child-lock.Also, do not open the rear windows more than a third.
* According to current legislation in the country of destination.
** 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 clo-
sed. Never leave the keys within
reach of children inside the car. Disarm the passenger air bag when installing a '"earwardsfacing" child seat on the frontpassenger seat. Observe strictly the recommen- dations for assembling the childseat as shown in the child seatinstructions.4

SEAT BELTS Seat belt height adjustment:
Ð to lower: pull the control and slideit downwards.
Ð to raise: slide the control upwards. To lock the seat beltsPull the strap, then insert the end into the buckle. Front seat belts with pre- tensioner and force limiter Safety in the event of front impacts has been improved by the introduc-tion of seat belts with pre-tensionerand force limiter for the front seats.Depending on the seriousness ofthe impact, the pre-tensioning sys-tem instantly tightens the seat beltsand pulls them against the bodies ofthe occupants. The pre-tensioning seat belts are active when the ignition is on. The force limiter eases the pressure of the seat belt on the body of theoccupant in the event of an acci-dent. Rear seat belts The rear seats are fitted with two three-point inertia reel seat beltsand a lap belt (one-piece rear seat)or with three three-point inertia reelseat belts (two-part rear seat, 1/3 -2/3).
To be effective, a seat belt must be tightenedas close to the body aspossible.
Depending on the nature andseriousness of the impact, thepre-tensioning system may betriggered before and indepen-dently of the air bags. In all cases, the air bag warning light on the instrument panelcomes on. Following an impact, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer. The system has been designed to be fully operational for tenyears. Have it replaced at the end of this period.
