CHILD SAFETY
Although one of PEUGEOT's main cri-
teria when designing your vehicle, the
safety of your children also depends on
you.
CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT T IN THE FRONT
* 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.
GENERAL POINTS RELATING
TO CHILD SEATS
"Rearwards-facing"
PEUGEOT 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. When a "rearwards-facing" child
seat is installed on the
front
passenger seat , it is essential
that the passenger airbag is de-
activated. Otherwise, the child
would risk being seriously
injured or killed if the airbag
w e r e t o i n fl a t e . 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.
"Forwards-facing"
Intermediate longitudinal position
For maximum safety, please observe
the following recommendations:
- 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 carrying 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.
