 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 "forward  
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 removed,  
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 "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 inflate.  
  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, fitted 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 windows by 
more than one third.  
 To protect young children from the rays of  
the sun, fit side blinds to the rear windows.   115
