Installing a booster
cushion
The chest part of the seat belt must be positioned on the child's shoulder without
t
ouching the neck.
Ensure
that the lap part of the seat belt
p
asses correctly over the child's thighs.
CITROËN
recommends the use of a booster
s
eat which has a back, fitted with a seat belt
g
uide at shoulder level.
As
a safety precaution, do not leave:
-
o
ne or more children alone and
u
nsupervised in a vehicle,
-
a
child or an animal in a vehicle which
i
s exposed to the sun, with the windows
c
losed,
-
t
he keys within reach of children inside
t
he vehicle.
To
prevent accidental opening of the doors,
u
se the child lock.
Take
care not to open the rear windows by
m
ore than one third.
To
protect young children from the rays of
t
he sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.
Children at the front
For optimum installation o f t he fo rward f acing c
hild seat, ensure that the back of the child
s
eat is as close as possible to the backrest
o
f the vehicle's seat, or in contact if possible.
The
head restraint must be removed before
i
nstalling a child seat with a backrest on the
p
assenger
sea
t.
Ensure
that the head restraint is stowed or
a
ttached securely so that it is not thrown
a
round the vehicle in the event of sharp
b
raking.
Refit
the head restraint as soon as the child
s
eat is removed.
The
legislation on carrying a child on the
f
ront passenger seat is specific to each
c
ountry. Refer to the legislation in force in
t
he country in which you are driving.

the passenger's front airbag
w
hen a rear ward facing child seat is installed
o

c
hild would risk being seriously injured or
k
illed if the airbag were deployed.

of
a
child
seat
in
a
v
ehicle

if
necessary.
at t
he rear seats, always leave sufficient
space
between
