passenger. They are deployed
simultaneously, except in caseswhere the passenger air bag isdisarmed. Precautions regarding the pas- senger air bag disarm the air bag if you ins- tall a rear facing child seat,

Rules for transporting children on the front passenger seat** Children under the age of 10 must not travel in the forwards facingposition, unless the rear seats arealready occupied by other childrenor the rear seats cannot be used(absent or folded). In this case,adjust the front passenger seat tothe most rearward position and armthe passenger air bag. The rearwards facing position is per- mitted from birth to 13 kg or 18 kg. Inthis position, it is essential to disarmthe passenger air bag.
GENERAL POINTS RELATING TO CHILD SEATS Although one of PEUGEOT's main criteria when designing your vehicle, the safe- ty of your children also depends on you.
For maximum safety, please follow these precautions:
- Since 1992, all children under the age of 10 must travel in approved child
seats* suited to their weight , on seats fitted with a seat belt.
In order to recognise a child seat which conforms to current legislation, check
that it bears an orange label indicating the weight range for its use and its approval number .
- A child weighing less than 9 kg must travel in the rearwards facing posi-
tion both in the front and in the rear. PEUGEOT recommends that chil-dren should travel in the "rearwards facing" position up to the age of two.
- Statistically, the safest seats in your vehicle for the transportation of chil-dren are the rear seats .
- If a child is travelling on a booster seat, check that the lap section of the seat belt passes over the child's thighs correctly. The chest section of the seat belt must be positioned on the child's shoulder without touching the neck.
PEUGEOT recommends that you use a booster seat with a back, fitted with aseat belt guide.
- Remember to fasten the seat belt or the child seat harness keeping the slack
in relation to the child's body to a minimum , even for short journeys.
* According to current legislation in the country.
** Consult the relevant administration in your country for information regarding the rules for transporting children on the front passenger seat.

ISOFIX MOUNTINGS The two rear side seats of your vehicle are fitted with ISOFIX moun-
tings . These are two rings located

with two locks which are secured
easily on these rings. All this guaran-tees reliable, safe and fast fitting. The ISOFIX child seat approved forPeugeot vehicles and sold byPeugeot dealers is the
ISOFIX
KIDDY* child seat. It can be fitted in
the "rear facing" position (when theside seats are recentred) from birthto 13 kg and in the "forwards facing"position from 9 to 18 kg.

row. In ths case, the ISOFIX KIDDYseat must be in the "rear facing"position, the body supported on theseat back of the corresponding 2ndrow seat. This seat can also be used on seats not fitted with ISOFIX mountings. Inthis case it is compulsory to attach itto the vehicle's seat by means of thethree-point seat belt for the "rearfacing" and "forwards facing" posi-tions. Refer to the "Summary table for fit- ting child seats".

Pre-tensioning and force-limiting seat belts Safety in the event of a frontal impact has been improved by the introduc-tion of pre-tensioning and force-limi-ting seat belts. Depending on theseriousness of the impact, the pre-tensioning system instantly tightensthe seat belts firmly against the bodyof the occupant. The pre-tensioning seat belts are armed when the ignition is on. The force-limiting device reduces the pressure of the seat belt against theoccupant's body in the event of anaccident.
