General points relating to child seats
Although one of CITROËN's main criteria when designing your vehicle, the safety of your children also depends on you.
CITROËN 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.
For maximum safety, please obser ve 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 fitted with a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings * , - statistically, the safest seats in your vehicle for carr ying children are the rear seats, - a child weighing less than 9 kg must travel in the "rear wards-facing" position both in the front and in the rear.
* The rules for carrying children are specific to each country. Refer to the current legislation in your country.

Advice on child seats
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 relative to the child's body to a minimum, even for shor t journeys. When installing a child seat using the seat belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened correctly on the child seat and that it secures the child seat firmly on the seat of your vehicle. Move the seat for wards if necessary. 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 discomfor t. If the head restraint has to be removed, 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 "for wards-facing" position on the front passenger seat, unless the rear seats are already occupied by other children, cannot be used or are absent. Deactivate the passenger airbag when a "rear wards-facing" child seat is installed on the front seat. Other wise, the child would risk being seriously injured or killed if the airbag were to inflate.
Installing a booster seat
The chest par t of the seat belt must be positioned on the child's shoulder without touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap par t of the seat belt passes correctly over the child's thighs. CITROËN recommends the use of a booster seat which has a back, fitted with a seat belt guide at shoulder level.
As a safety precaution, do not leave: - a child or children alone and unsuper vised 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 windows by more than one third. To protect young children from the rays of the sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.
