CHILD SAFETY
GENERAL POINTS RELATING TO CHILD SEATS
Although one of CITROËN 's main criteria
when designing your vehicle, the safety of
your children also depends on you.
For maximum safety, please follow these
precautions:
- in accordance with Directive 2003/20, all
children under the age of 12 or less
than one metre fifty tall must travel in
approved child seats suited to their
weight , on seats fitted with a seat belt
or ISOFIX mountings.
- statistically, the safest seats in your
vehicle for the transportation of
children are the rear seats,
- a child weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the "rearwards-facing"
position in the front.
CITROËN
recommends that children should
travel in the rear seats of your vehicle:
- "rearwards-facing"
up to the age of 2 ,
- "forwards-facing" from
the age of 2.
Chapter 4, "MODE"
INSTALLING A CHILD SEAT USING A THREE POINT SEAT
BELT
"Rearwards-facing"
Do not forget to disarm the air
bag before installing the child.
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 inflate . "Forwards-facing"
When a "forwards-facing" child
seat is installed on the
front
passenger seat , leave the
passenger air bag armed.
The rules for transporting children are
specific to each country. Consult the current
legislation in your country.
Please consult the list of seats approved
in your country. The Isofix mountings, the
rear seats, the passenger air bag and the
disarming of this air bag depend on the
version sold.
