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 harnesses keeping the slack
relative to the child's body to a minimum,
even for shor t journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened
correctly on the child seat and that it
secures the child seat firmly on the seat
of your vehicle. If your passenger seat is
adjustable, move it for wards if necessary.
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 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 wards-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 wards-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.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- a child or 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 prevent accidental opening of the doors
and rear windows, use the "Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays of
the sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.

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 for fixing the upper
strap, referred to as the To p Te t h e r
. This ISOFIX mounting system provides fast,
reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in your
vehicle.
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. When fitting an ISOFIX child seat to
the left hand rear seat, before fitting
the seat, first move the centre rear seat
belt towards the middle of the vehicle,
so as to avoid the seat inter fering with
the operation of the seat belt.
The ISOFIX child seats
are fitted with two
latches which are secured on the two rings A
.
Some seats also have an upper strap
, known
as the Top Tether, 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.
