LOCATIONS FOR CHILD SEATS SECURED WITH THE VEHICLE SEAT BELT
In conformity with European law, this table tells you to what extent each of the seat positions in your vehicle may take a
child seat that is secured with the vehicle seat belt and approved 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 installing your child on this seat.
U
: seat position suitable for the installation (in conjunction 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 is 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, move 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.

SAFETY
SEAT BELTS
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fi tted with a
pretensioning system and force limiter.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a front impact.
Depending on the seriousness of the
impact, the pretensioning system in-
stantly tightens the seat belt against
the body of the occupant.
Fastening
)
Pull the belt down in front of you
in a steady movement, making
sure that it does not become
twisted.
)
Press the fastening into its buckle.
)
Check that it is properly secured
and that the automatic locking
mechanism operates correctly
by pulling sharply on the belt
strap.
)
The lap strap should be posi-
tioned as low down as possible in
the lap and as tight as possible.
)
The diagonal strap should be
positioned across the chest and
away from the neck.
Each belt has a reel that adjusts its
length automatically to the girth of
the seat occupant.
Height adjustment
The pretensioning seat belts are
active when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pres-
sure of the seat belt against the
chest of the occupant, so increasing
his protection.
When correctly adjusted, the seat
belt shoulder strap falls over the
middle of the shoulder.
)
To adjust the belt, squeeze the
control and slide it in the direc-
tion required.
Unfastening
)
To unfasten the belt, press on
the red button in the buckle.
The belt retracts automatically when
not in use.
