CHILD SAFETY
GENERAL POINT
S RELATING
TO CHILD SEATS


"Rearwards-facing"
Recommended on the rear seats up to
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 deactivated. Otherwise, the child
would risk being seriously injured or
killed if the airbag were to infl ate.
"Forwards-facing"
Recommended on the rear seats over
the age of 2.
When a "forwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat,
leave the passenger airbag activated.



CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT


The rules for carrying children are
specifi c to each country. Consult the
current legislation in your country.
Please consult the list of seats
approved in your country. The Isofi x
mountings, the rear seats, the
passenger airbag and the deactivation
of this airbag depend on the version
sold.
The child seats function and the
passenger's airbag deativation function
are common to the entire CITROËN
range.
Although one of CITROËN's main
criteria when designing your vehicle,
the safety of your children also
depends 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,

- statistically, the safest seats in your
vehicle for the transportation of
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 passenger must not travel with
a child on his lap.


Refer to chapter 4, "Airbags"
section.
If the passenger's airbag is not
deactivated, the installation of a
"rearwards-facing" child seat in the
front is strictly prohibited.

"ISOFIX" MOUNTINGS

These seats are fi tted with ISOFIX
mountings.
These are two rings located between
the seat back and the seat cushion
.
The ISOFIX child seats
are fi tted with
two locks which are secured easily on
these rings.
This ISOFIX mounting system
guarantees reliable, safe and fast
fi tting of the child seat in your vehicle.


Passenger airbag OFF

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

Child safety

ADVIC

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
in relation to the child's body to a
minimum
, even for short journeys.
To protect young children from the
rays of the sun, fi t side blinds to
the rear windows.

CHILD MONITORING MIRROR

This mirror enables the driver or front
passenger to observe all the rear
seats.
Fitted on its own ball joint and able to
retract into its housing in the roof, it
provides a panoramic view of the rear
interior of the vehicle. For optimum installation of the "forward
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
securely to prevent it from being
thrown around the vehicle in the event
of sharp braking.
Children under the age of 10 must not
travel in the "forward facing" position
on the front passenger seat, unless
the rear seats are already occupied by
other children, cannot be used or are
absent.
Deactivate the passenger airbag when
a "rear 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.
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.
To prevent accidental opening of the
doors, use the "Child Lock".
Take care not to open the rear windows
by more than one third.

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.
CITROËN recommends the use of a
booster seat which has a back, fi tted
with a seat belt guide at shoulder level.
