ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
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,
fi tted 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, 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.
When installing a child seat using the
seat belt, check that the seat belt is
tightened correctly on the child seat
and that it secures the child seat
fi rmly on the seat of your vehicle.
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-
wards-facing" child seat, ensure that
the back of the child seat is in con-
tact 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
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 "forwards-facing"
position on the front passenger seat,
unless the rear seats are already oc-
cupied by other children, cannot be
used or are absent.
Deactivate the passenger air bag *
when a "rearwards-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.

"ISOFIX" MOUNTINGS
Your vehicle has been approved in
accordance with the new ISOFIX
regulation .
The three second row seats are fi tted
with regulation ISOFIX mountings. These are three rings for each seat:
- two rings
A , located between the
vehicle seat back and cushion,
indicated by a label,
-
a ring B , used to fi x the upper strap, referred to as the TOP TETHER ,
indicated by a label on a cover at
the top of the seat back. This ISOFIX mounting system gua-
rantees you fast, reliable and safe fi t-
ting of the child seat in your vehicle.
The incorrect installation of a child
seat in a vehicle compromises the
child's protection in the event of an
accident.
For information regarding the
ISOFIX child seats which can be
installed in your vehicle, consult
the summary table for the location
of the ISOFIX child seats. The
ISOFIX child seats are fi tted
with two locks which are secured
easily on the two rings A .
Some also have an upper strap
which is attached to the ring B .
To attach this strap, remove the
vehicle seat's head restraint and the
cover at the top of the seat back.
Then fi x the hook on the ring B and
tighten the upper strap.
