Child safety
This section describes all of the possibilities for the installation of a childseat and the precautions to take to ensure optimum safety, the various recommended child seats, the ISOFIX mountings and the approved
ISOFIX child seat.

General points relating to child seats

Although one of CITROËN main criteria when designing your vehicle, the safety of your children also depends on you.
CITROËN recommends
that children should travel on the rear seatsof your vehicle: -"rearward-facing"
up to the age of 3,-"forward-facing"
over the age of 3.

For maximum safety, please obser ve the
following recommendations:
- in accordance with European regulations,all children under the age of 12 or less
than one and a half metres tall must
trave
l in approved child seats suited to
their weight , on seats fitted with a seat
belt or ISOFIX mountings * ,
- statistically, the safest seats in your
vehicle for carrying children are the rear seats,-a child weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the "rearwards-facing" position both in the front and in the rear.
*

The rules for carrying children are specific to each country. Refer to the legislation in force
in
your country.

.
The seats, represented below, are fitted with
regulation ISOFIX mountings:




















"ISOFIX" mountings
There are three rings for each seat:
- two rings A, located between the vehicle seat back and cushion, indicated by a label,
- a rin
g B, behind the seat, referred to as theTOP TETHER
for fixing the upper strap.
This ISOFIX mountin
g system provides fast,
reliable and sa
fe fitting of the child seat in your
vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats
are fitted with two
latches which are secured on the two rings A
.

Some seats also have an upper strapwhich is
attached to ring B.

The incorrect installation of a child seatin a vehicle compromises the child's protection in the event of an accident.Follow strictly the advice given in the installation instructions provided with the child seat.
For information regarding the ISOFIX child seats which can be installed inyour vehicle, refer to the table showingthe locations for installing ISOFIX childseats.
To secure the child seat to the top tether:
- remove and stow the head restraint before installing the child seat on this seat (refit it
once the child seat has been removed),
- pass the child seat strap over the top o
f
the backrest of the seat, keeping it centred
between the head restraint apertures,
- secure the hook of the upper strap to the
ring B,- tighten the upper strap. When
fitting an ISOFIX child seat to the right
hand rear seat, before fixing the seat in place, first move the centre rear seat belt towards the
middle of the vehicle so as to not interfere with
the operation o
f the seat belt.
