ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
Children
at the front
the legislation on carrying a child on the
front passenger seat is specific to each
country. Refer to the legislation in force in
your country.
Deactivate the passenger's airbag when a
"rearward facing" child seat is installed on
the front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag were
deployed.
t

he incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's protection in
the event of an accident.
Check that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle under the child seat, as this could
destabilise the seat.
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.
For the installation of a child seat using
the seat belt, ensure that the seat belt is
well tensioned on the child seat and that
it is holding the child seat firmly against
the vehicle's seat. If the passenger seat is
adjustable, move it forward if necessary.
Installing a booster seat
the chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
e

nsure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
P
euge O t
recommends the use of a

booster seat which has a back, fitted with a
seat belt guide at shoulder level.
For the optimum installation of a "forward
facing" child seat, ensure that the back of
the child seat is as close as possible to the
backrest of the vehicle's seat, or in contact
if possible.
t

he head restraint must be removed before
installing a child seat with a backrest on the
passenger seat.
e

nsure that the head restraint is stowed or
attached securely so that it is not thrown
around the vehicle in the event of sharp
braking.
Refit the head restraint as soon as the child
seat is removed. As a safety precaution, never 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
l ock".
take care not to open the rear windows by


more than one third.
to protect young children from the rays of


the sun, fit side blinds to the rear windows.
At the rear, always leave sufficient space
between the front seat and:
-

a "rearward facing" child seat,
-


the feet of a child seated in a "forward


facing" child seat.
For this, move the front seat forward and, if
necessary, straighten its backrest as well.
