General points relating to child seats
Although one of CITROËN's main criteria when designing your vehicle, the safety of your childrenalso depends on you.
CITROËN recommends
that childrenshould 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 safet
y, 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
trave
l 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 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.
*

The rules for carrying children are specific to each country. Refer to the current legislation
in
your country.

Child safety
Child seat in the front


"Rearwards-facing"

When a "rear wards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat , it
is essential that the passenger airbag is
deactivated. Otherwise, the child wouldrisk being seriously injured or killed if the airbag were to inflate.
"Forwards-facing"
When a "for wards-facing" child seat is installedon the front passenger seat, adjust the
vehicle's seat to the intermediate longitudinalposition with the seat back upright and leave
the passenger airbag activated.

Intermediate longitudinal position

To assure the safety of your child, you must deactivate the passenger's front airbag whenyou install a child seat in the rear wards facing position on the front passenger's seat. Other wise, there is a risk that the child could be seriously injured or killed if the airbag weredeployed.

Refer to the advice
given on the label present
on both sides of the passenger's sun visor.
