CITROËN recommends that chil-
dren should travel in the rear seats
of your vehicle, with the rear seats
in the fully back position:
- "rearwards-facing" up to the
age of 2,
- "forwards-facing" over the
age of 2.
SEATS
"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
airbag activated.
"Rearwards-facing"
When a "rearwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the
front passenger seat ,
the passenger airbag must be deacti-
vated. Otherwise, the child would risk
being seriously injured or killed if the
a i r b a g w e r e t o i n fl a t e .
* The rules for carrying children are s p e c i fi c t o e a c h c o u n t r y . R e f e r t o t h e
current legislation in your country.
A l t h o u g h o n e o f C I T R O Ë N ' s m a i n c r i -
teria when designing your vehicle, the
safety of your children also depends on
you.
For maximum safety, please follow
these precautions:
- in accordance with European reg-
ulations, all children under the
age of 12 or less than one and a
half metres tall must travel in ap-
proved child seats suited to their
weight , o n s e a t s fi t t e d w i t h a s e a t
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.
