No person or object must prevent
the seat slide from returning to its
initial position; return to this posi-
tion is necessary for the seat to
lock in place.
Take care not to trap the seat belt

the rear passengers.
4. Access to rear seats
(3-door)

 Pull the handle to fold the seat back
and move the seat forwards. On re-
positioning, the seat returns to its
initial position. 5. Head restraint height and angle
adjustment

 To raise the head restraint, pull it up-
wards.

 To remove the head restraint, press
the lug A and pull the head restraint
upwards.

 To put the head restraint back in po-
sition, locate the stems of the head
restraint in the holes, taking care
to keep them in line with the seat
back.

 To lower the head restraint, press
the lug A and the head restraint at
the same time.

 To tilt the head restraint, tilt the lower
part forwards or rearwards. The head restraint has a frame with
a notch which prevents the head
restraint from lowering; this is a
safety device which provides pro-
tection in the event of an impact.

The adjustment is correct when the

level with the top of the head.
Never drive with the head restraints

CHILD SAFETY
89
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.
PEUGEOT recommends the use of a
booster seat which has a back, fi tted
with a seat belt guide at shoulder level.
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 dis-
comfort.
If the head restraint has to be removed,
ensure that it is stored or attached se-
curely 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 infl ate. 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, fi t side blinds on the
rear windows.

CHILD SAFETY
90
PEUGEOT 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.
TO CHILD SEATS
INSTALLING A CHILD SEAT
USING A THREE POINT SEAT
BELT
"Forwards-facing"
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.
"Rearwards-facing"
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.

* The rules for transporting children are specifi c to each country. Consult the current legislation in your country.
Although one of PEUGEOT’s main cri-
teria 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
fi fty tall must travel in approved
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 transportation
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.
