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.

Page 136 of 324
Your vehicle has been approved in accordance
with the new
ISOFIX regulation
.
The seats, represented below, are fitted with
regulation ISOFIX mountings:
"ISOFIX" mountings
There are three rings for each seat:
- two rings A
, located between the vehicle
seat back and cushion, indicated by a label,
- a ring B
, behind the seat, referred to as the
TOP TETHER
for fixing the upper strap. This ISOFIX mounting system provides fast,
reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in your
vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats
are fitted with
two latches which are secured on the
two rings A
.
When fitting an ISOFIX child seat to the right
hand rear seat, before fixing the seat in place,
first move the centre rear seat belt towards the
middle of the vehicle so as to not inter fere with
the operation of the seat belt.
Some seats also have an upper strap
which is
attached to ring B
.
To attach this strap, raise the vehicle seat's
head restraint then pass the hook between its
rods. Then fix the hook on ring B
and tighten
the upper strap.
The incorrect installation of a child seat
in a vehicle compromises the child's
protection in the event of an accident.
For information regarding the ISOFIX child
seats which can be installed in your vehicle,
refer to the table showing the locations for
installing ISOFIX child seats.
