GENERAL POINTS RELATING TO
CHILD SEATS
"Rearwards-facing"
Recommended on the rear seats up to the
age of 2.
When a "rearwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat, it
is essential that the passenger airbag is
disarmed. Otherwise, the child would risk
being seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were to inflate.
"Forwards-facing"
Recommended on the rear seats over the
age of 2.
When a "forwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat, leave
the passenger airbag armed.
CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT
The rules for carrying children are specific to
each country. Consult the current legislation
in your country.
Please consult the list of seats approved
in your country. The Isofix mountings, the
rear seats, the passenger airbag and the
deactivation of this airbag depend on the
version sold.
Although one of PEUGEOT's main criteria
when designing your vehicle, the safety of
your children also depends on you.
For maximum safety, please follow these
precautions:
- all children under the age of 12 or less
than one metre fifty 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 the transportation of 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 passenger must not travel with
a child on his lap.

Child safety
The child seats function and the
passenger airbag disarming function
are common to the entire PEUGEOT range.
If the passenger airbag is not disarmed, the
installation of a "rearwards-facing" child seat
in the front is strictly prohibited.
Refer to chapter 4, "Airbags" section.
Passenger airbag OFF
Refer to the advice given on the label
present on both sides of the passenger's
sun visor.
To assure the safety of your child, you must deactivate the passenger's front airbag
when you install a child seat in the rearwards facing position 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.

"ISOFIX" MOUNTINGS
The mountings comprise three rings for each seat:
- two front rings, located between the
vehicle seat back and cushion, indicated
by a label,
- a rear ring, for securing the upper
strap referred to as the TOP TETHER,
indicated by another label.
Your vehicle has been approved in
accordance with the new ISOFIX regulation.
If fitted on your vehicle, the regulation
ISOFIX mountings are located by labels. This ISOFIX mounting system guarantees
you fast, reliable and safe fitting of the child
seat in your vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats are fitted with two
locks which are secured easily on the two
front rings.
Some also have an upper strap which is
attached to the rear ring.
To attach this strap, raise the vehicle seat's
head restraint then pass the hook between
its rods. Then fix the hook on the rear ring
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,
consult the summary table for the location of
the ISOFIX child seats.

Child safety
Deactivate the passenger airbag when a
"rear facing" child seat is installed on the
front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag were
to inflate.
Installing a booster seat
The chest part 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.
PEUGEOT recommends the use of a
booster seat which has a back, fitted with
a seat belt guide at shoulder level.
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
in
relation to the child's body to a minimum
,
even for short journeys.
For optimum installation of the "forward
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 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 "forward facing" position on the front
passenger seat, unless the rear seats are
already occupied by other children, cannot
be used or are absent.
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 windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays of
the sun, fit side blinds to the rear windows.
