General points relating to child seats
Although one of CITROËN main criteria when designing your vehicle, the safety of your children
also depends on you.
CITROËN recommends
that children
should travel on the rear seats
of your
vehicle:
- "rearward-facing"
up to the age
of 3,
- "forward-facing"
over the age of 3.
For maximum safety, 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
travel 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 carr ying children are the
rear seats,
- a child weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the "rear wards-facing"
position both in the front and in the
rear.
*
The rules for carrying children are specific to
each country. Refer to the legislation in force
in your country.

161Child safety
Child seat in the front *
"Rearward-facing"
"Forward-facing"
Passenger seat adjusted to the intermediate
longitudinal and highest position.
When a "rear ward-facing" child seat is installed
on the front passenger seat
, adjust the seat
to the intermediate longitudinal and highest
position, with the backrest straightened.
The passenger airbag must be deactivated.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag were
to inflate
.
*
Refer to the current legislation in your country
before installing a child seat on this seat.
When a "for ward-facing" child seat is installed on
the front passenger seat
, adjust the vehicle's
seat to the intermediate longitudinal and highest
position with seat backrest straightened and
leave the passenger's airbag activated.
Ensure that the seat belt is correctly
tensioned.
For child seats with a suppor t leg,
ensure that the support leg is in stable

adjust the passenger seat.

Child seat at the rear
"Rearward facing"
When a "rear ward facing" child seat is installed
on a rear passenger seat
, move the vehicle's
front seat for wards and straighten the backrest
so that the "rear ward facing" child seat does
not touch the vehicle's front seat.
"Forward facing"
When a "for ward facing" child seat is installed
on a rear passenger seat
, move the vehicle's
front seat for wards and straighten the backrest
so that the legs of the child in the "for ward
facing" child seat do not touch the vehicle's
front seat.
Centre rear seat
A child seat with a support leg must never be
installed on the centre rear passenger seat
.
Ensure that the seat belt is correctly
tightened. For child seats with a
