Up to 18 months (up to 13 kg)
" Römer 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' posi tion on the slide.
From 9 months to 3 or 4 years (9 to 18 kg) "Römer Prince": installed in the rear using a three point seat b elt.
For the safety of your child, the seat and the restraining cush ion must never be separated.

pre tensioner and force limiter
Safety in the event of a frontal impact
has been improved by the introduc
tion of seat belts with pre tensioner
and force limiter connected to the
front air bags. Depending on the
seriousness of the impact, the pre
tensioning system instantly tightens
the seat belts firmly against the bod
ies of the occupants.
The pre tensioning seat belts are
armed when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pres
sure of the seat belt on the body of
the occupant in the event of an acci
dent.

three point inertia reel seat belt.

To be effective, a seat
belt must be tightened as
close to the body as pos
sible.
Depending on the nature and seri
ousness of the impact, the pre
tensioners may be triggered
before and independently of the
air bags.
In all cases, the air bag warning
light comes on.
After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
The system has been designed to
be fully oper ational for ten years.
