safety of your children also depends on
you. INSTALLING A CHILD SEAT USING A THREE POINT SEAT BELT

GENERAL POINTS RELATING
TO CHILD SEATS
“Forwards-facing”
“Rearwards-facing”
For maximum safety, please follow
these precautions:
- in accordance with Directive 2003/20, all children under the
age of 12 or less than one me-
tre fi fty * tall must travel in ap-
proved child seats suited to
their weight , on seats fi tted with
a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings * ,
- statistically, the safest seats in
your vehicle for the transpor-
tation of children are the rear
seats,
- a child weighing less than 9 kg
must travel in the “rearwards-
facing” position both in the
front and in the rear. When a “rearwards-facing”
child seat is installed on the

front passenger seat , it is
essential that the passenger
air bag is disarmed. Otherwise,
the
child would risk being seriously
injured or killed if the air bag were
to infl ate.

CITROËN recommends that children
should travel in the
rear seats of your
vehicle:
- “rearwards-facing” up to the age
of 2,
- “forwards-facing” over the age
of 2. When a “forwards-facing” child seat is
installed on the
front passenger seat ,
adjust the vehicle’s seat to the interme-
diate longitudinal position with the seat
back upright and leave the passenger
air bag armed.

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
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-
ward facing” child seat, ensure that
the back of the child seat is in contact
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 at-
tached securely to prevent it from be-
ing thrown around the vehicle in the
event of sharp braking.
Children under the age of 10 must not
travel in the “forward facing” position
on the front passenger seat, unless
the rear seats are already occupied by
other children, cannot be used or are
absent.
Disarm the passenger air bag when
a “rear facing” child seat is installed
on the front seat. Otherwise, the child
would risk being seriously injured or
killed if the air bag were to infl ate. 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 un-
supervised 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.

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.
“ISOFIX” MOUNTINGS
These are three rings for each seat:
- two rings
A , located between the
vehicle seat back and cushion,
indicated by a label,
- a ring B , used to fi x the upper strap,
referred to as the TOP TETHER ,
indicated by a label. This ISOFIX mounting system guaran-
tees you fast, reliable and safe fi tting of
the child seat in your vehicle.

two locks which are secured easily on
the two rings A .
Some also have an upper strap which
is attached to the ring

To attach this strap, remove the vehi-
cle seat’s head restraint. Then fi x the
hook on the ring B and tighten the up-
per strap.
