SECOND ROW REAR SEATS (GRAND C4 PICASSO)
Each seat can be folded onto the
fl oor to form a fl at surface, thus en-
abling you to adapt your vehicle’s
interior space.
Folding a seat
From the outside

 Pull fi rmly upwards on strap C ,
as indicated by the red arrow, to
unlock the seat; keep pulling un-
til the seat is fully folded.
Push the seat backrest gently forwards so that the backrest
folds onto the seat cushion. The

example)
You can fold the second-row seat(s)
from the boot, having fi rst folded the
third-row seats.

 Pull on the strap D to unlock the
chosen seat, push the backrest
gently forwards.
To prevent any damage to the mechanism, the strap D unclips

panels to their initial position and
lock them in position.

 Raise the backrest and push it
rearwards until it locks in posi-

Before moving the third-row seats,
return the second-row rigid panels
to their initial position and lock them
in place.

seats without supervision. Rigid panel
Each second-row seat backrest has
a rigid panel attached.
This panel enables you:
- to have a continuous load sur-
face in the boot, whatever the
positions of the seats,
- to avoid having objects sliding under the second-row seats.
Unlocking/Locking the rigid
panel

 Slide the latch 1 on the panel
downwards, to unlock.


Return the panel to the upright
position, then slide the latch 1
upwards, to lock.
Before positioning the rigid panels,
check that the second-row seats are
in the fully back position.
5-seater confi gurations do not have
these rigid panels.

The rules for carrying children are
specifi c to each country. Refer to the
current legislation in your country.
GENERAL POINTS RELATING TO CHILD SEATS
Although one of CITROËN's main
criteria when designing your vehicle,
the safety of your children also de-
pends on you.
For maximum safety, please observe
the following recommendations:
- in accordance with European regulations, all children under
the age of 12 or less than one
and a half metres 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 carrying chil-
dren 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.

CITROËN 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.
CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT
"Rearwards-facing"
When a "rearwards-facing" child
seat is installed on the front pas-
senger seat , it is essential that the
passenger airbag is deactivated.
Otherwise, the child would risk
being seriously injured or killed if
the airbag were to infl ate .
Intermediate
longitudinal position
"Forwards-facing"
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 airbag activated.

LOCATIONS FOR CHILD SEATS SECURED WITH THE VEHICLE SEAT BELT
In conformity with European law, this table tells you to wh at extent each of the seat positions in your vehicle may take a
child seat that is secured with the vehicle seat belt and ap proved as Universal (a), according to the weight of the child and
the position in the vehicle.
(a) Universal child seat: child seat which can be installed in all vehicles by means of the seat belt.
(b) Group 0: from birth to 10 kg. Shell seats and "car cots" cannot be installed on the front passenger seat.
(c) Consult the legislation in force in your country before inst alling your child on this seat.

U : seat position suitable for the installation (in conjun ction with the vehicle seat belt) of a universal rearwards-facing and/or
forwards-facing child seat.
For seats in groups 1, 2 and 3, check that the child seat i s correctly secured on the backrest of the vehicle seat. If
necessary, remove and stow the head restraint.
To install a voluminous child seat in the 2nd or 3rd row, mo ve the rear seat fully back so as to avoid interference with the
front seat.

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must
be positioned on the child's shoul-
der 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 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.
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
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
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 airbag *
when a "rearwards-facing" child
seat is installed on the front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk be-
ing seriously injured or killed if the
airbag were to infl ate.
