"Forwards-facing"
INSTALLING A CHILD SEAT USING
A THREE POINT SEAT BELT
GENERAL POINTS RELATING TO CHILD SEATS
* The rules for transporting children are specifi c to each country. Consult the current legislation in your country.
Intermediate longitudinal
position
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 in-
jured or killed if the air bag were to
infl ate. When a "forwards-facing" child seat
is installed on the
front passenger
seat , adjust the vehicle’s seat to the
intermediate longitudinal position with
the seat back upright and leave the
passenger air bag armed.
"Rearwards-facing"
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 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.
PEUGEOT
recommends that chil-
dren should travel in the rear seats of
your vehicle:
- "rearwards-facing" up to the age
of 2,
-
"forwards-facing" over the age of 2.

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
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.
PEUGEOT 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 and rear windows, 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.
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.
