CHILD SAFETY
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.
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.
At the bottom of the storage
compartment
If the stay is long enough, you can
place it in contact with the bottom of the
storage compartment. Remove all ob-
jects 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 described, we recom-
mend that you do not fi t a child
seat with a stay in this position.

CHILD SAFETY
ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder with-
out 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.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- a child or children alone and unsu-
pervised 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 in-
side 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 occupied by other
children, cannot be used or are absent.
Deactivate the passenger airbag when
a "rearwards-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. 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 rmly
on the seat of your vehicle. If your pas-
senger seat is adjustable, move it for-
wards 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 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.

CHILD SAFETY
"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.
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.
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.
- A ring B
, behind the seat, referred to
as the TOP TETHER
for fi xing the
upper strap.
121
CHILD SAFETY
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.
