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 seat positions
for carrying children are the rear seats
of the vehicle,
- a child weighing under 9 kg must
always be carried in the “rearwards-
facing” position whether in the front or
the back of the vehicle.
CITROËN recommends that children are
carried in the rear seats of your vehicle :
- “rearwards-facing” up to the age of 2,
- “forwards-facing” over the age of 2.
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.

“ISOFIX” FASTENING SYSTEM
Your vehicle has been approved according
to the new ISOFIX directives.
The system features 3 rings for each side
seat on the rear benchseat :
- 2 bottom rings, located between the
backrest and the seat cushion,
- 1 top ring, for the securing of the
TOP TETHER top belt .
The ISOFIX fastening system gives you a
reliable, strong and convenient fitting for a
child seat in your vehicle.
ISOFIX child seats have 2 latches which are
easy to secure on the 2 bottom rings.
Some also have a top belt which is for
attaching to the top ring.
To attach the top belt, raise the head
restraint, then pass the buckle between the
2 supports. Next fix the buckle to the top
ring, and tension the top belt.
THE ISOFIX CHILD SEAT RECOMMENDED BY CITROËN AND APPROVED FOR YOUR VEHICLE IS :
This child seat can also be used in seat
positions that are not equipped with
ISOFIX anchoring points.
In this case, they must be secured to the
seat using the 3-point seat belt .
Follow the fitting instructions given in the
child seat manufacturer ’s user guide.
The ISOFIX RÖMER Duo Plus(weight class B1)
Group 1 : 9 to 18 kg
Installed forwards-facing.
Equipped with a TOP TETHER top belt
to be secured to the upper ISOFIX ring.
3 possible angles for the shell: sitting,

in your vehicle compromises protection
of the child in the event of a collision.
