deactivation, it is strictly forbidden to
install a child seat in the "forwards

criteria when designing your vehicle,
the safety of your children also de-
pends on you.

these precautions:


- all children under the age of 12
or less than one metre fi fty tall
must travel in approved child
seats suited to their weight
,
on seats fi tted with a seat belt or
ISOFIX mountings * .

must travel in the "rearwards-
facing" position in the front.

ISOFIX CHILD SEAT RECOMMENDED BY CITROËN AND APPROVED FOR YOUR VEHICLE


" ISOFIX KIDDY
"

Group 0+: from birth to 13 kg

Group 1: from 9 to 18 kg

Installed in the rear facing position,
on the outer rear seat only. Installed in the forwards facing position.
The body of this child seat must be in contact with the back
of the vehicle's front seat. It is imperative that the vehicle's front seat is adjusted to the
intermediate longitudinal position.
This child seat can also be used on
seats which are not fi tted with ISOFIX
mountings. In this case, it is compulsory to se-
cure the child seat to the vehicle's
seat using the three-point seat belt.
Follow the instructions for fi tting
the child seat indicated in the seat
manufacturer's installation guide.

43SEATS-
ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS 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.
Deactivate the passenger's airbag
when a "rear facing" child seat is in-
stalled on the front seat. Otherwise,
the child would risk being seriously
injured or killed if the airbag were to
infl ate. 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.

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.
CITROËN recommends the use of
a booster seat which has a back, fi t-
ted with a seat belt guide at shoulder
level. To prevent accidental open-
ing of the doors, use the
"Child lock". 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 keep-
ing the slack
in relation to the child's
body to a minimum
, even for short
journeys.
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 discomfort.
If the head restraint has to be removed,
ensure that it is stored or attached se-
curely to prevent it from being thrown
around the vehicle in the event of
sharp braking. 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.

Front seat belts with pre-

Safety in the event of frontal impacts
has been improved by the introduc-
tion of pre-tensioning seat belts for
the front seats.

impact, the pre-tensioning system
instantly tightens the seat belts and
pulls them against the bodies of the
occupants.
The pre-tensioning seat belts are
armed when the ignition is on.

downwards or upwards.
