GENERAL POINTS ON SEATBELTS
CHILD SEAT AT THE FRONT


"Forwards-facing"
When a "forwards-facing" child seat
is installed on the front passenger
seat
, adjust the vehicle's seat to the
intermediate longitudinal position
with the seat back upright and leave
the passenger's airbag activated.

Intermediate longitudinal
position
"Rearwards-facing"
When a "rearwards-facing" child seat
is installed on the front passen-
ger seat
, you must deactivate the
passenger's airbag * . Otherwise, the
child would risk being seriously
injured or killed if the airbag were
to infl ate
.

*
The rules for carrying children are
specifi c to each country. Refer to the
current legislation in your country.
The procedures for the use of child
seats and deactivation of the pas-
senger's airbag are common to the
entire PEUGEOT range.
In the absence of passenger airbag
deactivation, it is strictly forbidden to
install a child seat in the "forwards
facing" position on the front passen-
ger seat.
Although one of PEUGEOT's main
criteria when designing your vehicle,
the safety of your children also de-
pends on you.
For maximum safety, please follow
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 * .

- a child weighing less than 9 kg
must travel in the "rearwards-
facing" position in the front.

SEATS38-


Passenger airbag OFF

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.

43SEATS-
ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS Children under the age of 10 must
not travel in the "forward facing" po-
sition 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'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.
PEUGEOT recommends the use of
a booster seat which has a back, fi tted
with a seat belt guide at shoulder
level. To prevent accidental open-
ing of the doors, 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.
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.
