CHILD SAFETY

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.

*
The rules for carrying children are
specifi c to each country. Refer to the
current legislation in your country.
TO CHILD SEATS

Although one of CITROËN's main cri-
teria when designing your vehicle, the
safety of your children also depends on
you.
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
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 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.


"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
,
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
.

To assure the safety of your child, you must deactivate the passenger's

on the front passenger's seat.
Otherwise, there is a risk that the child could be seriously injured or killed
if the airbag were deployed.
