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 "rearwards-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 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 part 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.
