For optimum installation of the for ward facing child   seat,   ensure   that   the   back   of   the   child  
s

eat   is   as   close   as   possible   to   the   backrest   of  
t

he   vehicle's   seat,   in   contact   if   possible.
You
  mst   remove   the   head   restraint   before  
i

nstalling   a   child   seat   with   backrest   to   a  
p

assenger
 sea
t.
Ensure
  that   the   head   restraint   is   stored   or  
a

ttached   securely   to   prevent   it   from   being  
t

hrown   around   the   vehicle   in   the   event   of  
s

harp   braking.   Refit   the   head   restraint   when  
t

he   child   seat   is   removed.
Advice on child seats
Installing a booster
seat
Children at the frontThe incorrect installation of a child seat in a v ehicle   compromises   the   child's   protection   in  
t

he   event   of   an   accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle
  under   the   child   seat,   as   this   could  
de

stabilise
 i
t.
Remember
  to   fasten   the   seat   belts   or   the  
c

hild   seat   harnesses   keeping   the   slack  
r

elative   to   the   child's   body   to   a   minimum,  
e

ven   for   short   journeys.
When
  installing   a   child   seat   using   the   seat  
b

elt,   ensure   that   the   seat   belt   is   tightened  
c

orrectly   on   the   child   seat   and   that   it   secures  
t

he   child   seat   firmly   on   the   seat   of   your  
v

ehicle.   If   your   passenger   seat   is   adjustable,  
m

ove   it   for wards   if   necessary. The
  legislation   on   carrying   children   on   the  
f

ront   passenger   seat   is   specific   to   each  
c

ountry.   Refer   to   the   legislation   in   force   in  
y

our   country.
Deactivate
  the   passenger   airbag   when   a  
r

ear ward   facing   child   seat   is   installed   on   the  
f

ront   seat.
Other wise,
  the   child   would   risk   being  
s

eriously   injured   or   killed   if   the   airbag   were  
t

o   inflate.The
  chest   part   of   the   seat   belt   must   be  
p

ositioned   on   the   child's   shoulder   without  
t

ouching   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  
s

eat   which   has   a   back,   fitted   with   a   seat   belt  
g

uide   at   shoulder   level.
As
  a   safety   precaution,   do   not   leave:
-
 
a
  child   or   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.
At
  rear   seating   positions,   always   leave  
s

ufficient   space   between   the   front   seat   and:
-
 
a
  rear ward   facing   child   seat,
-
 
t
he   child's   feet   for   a   child   seat   fitted  
fo

rward
 f
acing.
To
  do   this,   move   the   front   seat   for wards  
a

nd,   if   necessary,   move   its   backrest   into   the  
u

pright
 p
osition. To
  prevent   accidental   opening   of   the   doors  
a

nd   rear   windows,   use   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   the  
s

un,   fit   side   blinds   on   the   rear   windows.
