This ISOFIX mounting system
guarantees you fast, reliable and
safe fi tting of the child seat in your
vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats are fi tted
with two locks which are secured
easily on the two rings A or C , fol-
lowing installation of the guides
(supplied with the seat).
Some also have an upper strap
which is attached to the ring B , D
or E .
To attach this strap in the front, raise
the vehicle seat's head restraint
and pass the upper strap between
the rods of the head restraint.
Then fi x the hook on the ring B and
tighten the upper strap.
To attach this strap in the rear,
remove the vehicle seat's head
restraint and stow it. Lift the cover
on the rear shelf (Saloon) or the
roof (Tourer). Then fi x the hook
on the ring D or E and tighten the
upper strap.
The incorrect installation of a child
seat in a vehicle compromises the
child's protection in the event of an
accident.
For information regarding the
ISOFIX child seats which can be
installed in your vehicle, consult
the summary table for the location
of the ISOFIX child seats.
* According to country and current local legislation.
ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must
be positioned on the child’s shoulder
without touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat
belt passes correctly over the child’s
thighs.
CITROËN recommends the use of a
booster seat which has a back, fi t-
ted with a seat belt guide at shoulder
level.
As a safety precaution, do not
leave:
- one or more children alone and unsupervised in a vehicle,
- a child or an animal in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun, with
the windows closed,
- the keys within reach of children inside the vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the
doors, use the "Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear win-
dows by more than one third.
To protect young children from the
rays of the sun, fi t side blinds on the
rear windows.
The incorrect installation of a child
seat in a vehicle compromises the
child’s protection in the event of an
accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts
or the child seat harnesses
keeping
the slack in relation to the child’s
body to a minimum, even for short
journeys.
For optimum installation of the "for-
wards-facing" child seat, ensure that
the back of the child seat is in con-
tact with the back of the vehicle’s
seat and that the head restraint does
not cause any discomfort.
If the head restraint has to be re-
moved, ensure that it is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from
being thrown around the vehicle in
the event of sharp braking.
Children under the age of 10 must
not travel in the "forwards-facing"
position on the front passenger seat,
unless the rear seats are already oc-
cupied by other children, cannot be
used or are absent.
Deactivate the passenger air bag *
when a "rearwards-facing" child
seat is installed on the front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk be-
ing seriously injured or killed if the
air bag were to infl ate.
