CHILD SAFETY

"Rearwards-facing"
"Forwards-facing"

*
The rules for carrying children are
specifi c to each country. Refer to the
current legislation in your country.
GENERAL POINTS RELATING
TO CHILD SEATS


Intermediate longitudinal position

CITROËN recommends
that children
should travel in the rear seats
of your ve-
hicle:


-

"rearwards-facing"
up to the age of 2,


- "forwards-facing"
over 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 deacti-
vated. Otherwise, the child would
risk being seriously injured or
killed if the airbag were to infl ate
.

CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT

When a "forwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat
,
adjust the vehicle's seat to the interme-
diate longitudinal position with the seat
back upright and leave the passenger
airbag activated. Although one of CITROËN's main cri-
teria when designing your vehicle, the
safety of your children also depends on
you.
For maximum safety, please observe
the following recommendations:


- in accordance with European reg-
ulations, all children under the
age of 12 or less than one and a
half metres tall must travel in ap-
proved child seats suited to their
weight
, on seats fi tted with a seat
belt or ISOFIX mountings * ,

- statistically, the safest seats in
your vehicle for carrying 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.
