Ensure that the seat belt is
correctly tensioned. When a "rearwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat
,
it is essential that the passenger airbag
is deactivated. Otherwise, the child
would risk being seriously injured or
killed if the airbag were to infl ate
. When a "forwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat
,
adjust the vehicle's seat to the fully back

Passenger airbag OFF

For more information on de-
activating the airbag, refer
to the "Safety" section then
"Airbags".
Refer to the advice given on the label
present on both sides of the passen-
ger'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.

INSTALLING CHILD SEATS WITH A STAY

Precautions must be taken when installing a child seat with a stay (or drop down leg). In particular, take care when there is a
storage compartment present in the rear footwells.

At the bottom of the storage
compartment
If the stay is long enough, you can place
it in contact with the bottom of the stor-
age compartment. Remove all objects
before installing the stay.


Outside the storage
compartment area
One other possibility, where the stay is
long enough and can be inclined suffi -
ciently (while observing the recommen-
dations in the fi tting instructions for the
child seat), is to position the stay so that
it is in contact with the fl oor away from
the storage compartment. Remember
to use the adjustment of the seat posi-
tion to obtain a satisfactory position for
the stay which is away from the storage
compartment.
If you cannot fi t the stay in the way de-
scribed, we recommend that you do not
fi t a child seat with a stay in this position. Do not place the stay on the
storage compartment cover,
it could break in a serious im-
pact. Where the range of adjustment
for the stay allows, we suggest two
other possibilities for installation.

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 short 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 fi rm-
ly on the seat of your vehicle. If your
passenger seat is adjustable, move it
forwards 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 discomfort.
If the head restraint has to be re-
moved, ensure that it is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from
being thrown around the vehicle in
the event of sharp braking.
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, fi t-
ted with a seat belt guide at shoulder
level.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:


- a child or children alone and un-
supervised 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 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.
Children under the age of 10 must
not travel in the "forwards-facing"
position on the front passenger seat,
unless the rear seats are already oc-
cupied by other children, cannot be
used or are absent.
Deactivate the passenger airbag
when a "rearwards-facing" child seat
is installed on the front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were to infl ate.

"ISOFIX" MOUNTINGS

Your vehicle has been approved in ac-
cordance with the latest
ISOFIX regu-
lation

s
.
The seats, represented below, are fi tted
with regulation ISOFIX mountings: There are three rings for each seat:


- two rings A
, located between the
vehicle seat back and cushion, indi-
cated by a label,

- a ring B
, behind the seat, referred to
as the TOP TETHER
for fi xing the
upper strap. This ISOFIX mounting system provides
fast, reliable and safe fi tting of the child
seat in your vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats
are fi tted with
two latches which are easily secured on
the two rings A
.
Some also have an upper strap
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 fi x the hook on
ring B
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, refer to the table showing
the locations for installing ISOFIX child
seats.

CHILD SAFETY
126
This child seat can also be
used on seats which are not
fi tted with ISOFIX mountings.
In this case, it must be attached to
the vehicle seat using the three point
seat belt.

Follow the instructions for fi tting
the child seat given in the seat
manufacturer's installation guide.
