''Isofix''mountings Available on the two side rear seats,
and as an accessory on the front passenger seat*, the Isofix moun-tings allow for fitting of a special
child seat , approved by UTAC for
PEUGEOT vehicles and sold by
PEUGEOT dealers. The locks incorporated in the child seat fit onto the Isofix mountings andensure safe, reliable and fast assem-
bly. In the front
, the child seat must be
fitted:
- either in the "rear facing" position for children weighing between
3 and 11 kg front seat as far for-
ward as possible so that the body
of the child seat is in contact withor as close as possible to the ins-
trument panel. This position thuslimits movement of the child seat inthe event of an accident.
- or exceptionally the child seat may be fitted in the 'forwards facing'position if the rear seats are alrea-dy occupied by other children or ifthe rear seats cannot be used (notpresent, folded). In this case, usethe Isofix mountings, the restrai-ning cushion and the seat belt andadjust the front passenger seat tothe "mid-travel" position.
In both cases it is imperative todisarm the passenger air bag. In the rear , the child seat may be fit-
ted in the "rear facing" or "forwards facing" position. In this case the
front seat is in the intermediatelongitudinal position, seat backupright .
The combined use of the Isofixmountings, the restraining cushionand the seat belt is compulsory for aseat fitted "facing forward".

The special child seat, approved by
PEUGEOT, is the Isofix KIDDY seat.It can be used "rear facing" from 3 to
11 kg and "forwards facing" from 9 to18 kg. This seat can also be used on seats not fitted with Isofix mountings:buckling of the three-point seat belt
is then compulsory. Follow the instructions for fitting the child seat given in the instruc-tion booklet. * During 2001.

passenger seat to the "mid-travel" position. The "rear facing" position is authorised.
