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 harness keeping the slack in relation to the child's body to a minimum , even for shor t journeys. To install a child seat using the vehicle's seat belt, ensure that the belt is well tightened on the child seat and that it holds the child seat firmly against the vehicle's seat. For optimum installation of the "for ward 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 ward 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 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.
* According to country.
As a safety precaution, do not leave: - one or more 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 protect young children from the rays of the sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.

Deactivation
Only the passenger's front airbag can be deactivated:  with the ignition off , inser t the key in the n offpassenger airbag deactivation switch 1 ,  turn it to the "OFF" position,  then, remove the key keeping the switch in the new position.
This warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel when the ignition is on and until the airbag is re-activated.
To assure the safety of your child, the passenger's front airbag must be deactivated when you install a "rear facing" child seat on the front
passenger seat. Other wise, the child would risk being seriously injured or killed if the airbag were triggered.
Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, turn switch 1to the "ON" position to re-activate the airbag and so assure the safety of your front passenger in the event of an impact.
With the ignition on, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel for approximately one minute, if the passenger's front airbag is activated.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp flashes, contact a CITROËN dealer. The passenger's front airbag may no longer be triggered in the event of a serious impact.
If at least one of the two airbag warning lamps come on continuously, do not install a child seat on the front passenger seat. Have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer.
If this warning lamp comes on on the instrument panel, accompanied by an
audible warning and a message on the multifunction screen, contact a CITROËN dealer to have the system checked. The airbags may no longer be triggered in the event of a serious impact.
