ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
Installing a booster seat
Children at the frontThe incorrect  installation  of  a  child  seat
 in  a  vehicle  compromises  the  
child's

 
protection
 
in
 
the
 
event
 
of
 
an
 
accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or
seat

 
belt
 
buckle
 
under
 
the
 
child
 
seat,
 
as

  this   could   destabilise   it.
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
 
installin
g  
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
 
firm
-
ly
 
on
 
the
 
seat
 
of
 
your
 
vehicle.
 
If
 
your
 
passenger

 
seat
 
is
 
adjustable,
 
move
 
it
 
forwards

  if   necessary. The
 
legislation
 
on
 
carrying
 
children
 
on the

 
front
 
passenger
 
seat
 
is
 
specific
 
to each

 
country
.  
Refer
 
to
 
the
 
legislation in

  force   in   your   country.
Deactivate
 
the
 
passenger
 
airbag
 
when

 
a
 
"rearward-facing"
 
child
 
seat
 
is

  installed   on   the   front   seat.
Otherwise,
 
the
 
child
 
would
 
risk
 
being
 
seriously

 
injured
 
or
 
kille
d  
if
 
the
 
airbag
 
were

  to   inflate.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,
 
fit
-
ted
 
with
 
a
 
seat
 
belt
 
guide
 
at
 
shoulder
 
level.
As

  a   safety   precaution,   do   not   leave:
-
 
a
 
child
 
or
 
children
 
alone
 
and
 
un
-
supervised
  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.
At
 
rear
 
seating
 
positions,
 
always
 
leave

 
sufficient
 
space
 
between
 
the
 
front

  seat   and:
-
 
a
  "rearward   facing"   child   seat,
-
 
the
 
child's
 
feet
 
for
 
a
 
child
 
seat
 
fit
-
ted
  "forward   facing".
To
 
do
 
this,
 
move
 
the
 
front
 
seat
 
for
-
wards
 
and,
 
if
 
necessary
,  
move
 
its
 
backrest

  into   the   upright   position. 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,
 
fit
 
side
 
blinds
 
on
 
the
 
rear

  windows.
