following recommendations:
- in accordance with European regulations,
all children under the age of 12 or less
than one and a half metres tall must
travel 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 carr ying children are the
rear seats,

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

Your vehicle has been approved in accordance with the latest ISOFIX regulations
.
The seats, represented below, are fitted with regulation ISOFIX mountings:
"ISOFIX" mountings
- two rings A
, located between the vehicle
seat back and cushion, indicated by a
marking,
This ISOFIX mounting system ensures fast,
reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in your
vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats
are fitted with
two latches which are secured easily on the
two rings A
.
Some also have an upper strap
(or top tether)
which is attached to ring B
.
The incorrect installation of a child seat
in a vehicle compromises the child's
protection in the event of an accident.
Obser ve strictly the fitting instructions
provided with the child seat.
- a ring B
, located under a cover on the back of
the top of the seat backrest, referred to as the
TOP TETHER
for fixing the upper strap.
Its position is indicated by a marking.
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
after the child seat has been removed),
- open the TOP TETHER
cover by pulling its
cut-out,
- pass the child seat strap behind the seat
backrest, centred between the holes for the
head restraint rods,
- secure the upper strap fixing to the ring B
,
- tighten the upper strap.
The ISOFIX mountings are three rings for each seat:
Located on the back of the seat backrest, the
top tether is used to secure the upper strap of
child seats that have one. This device limits
for ward tipping of the child seat, in the event of
a front impact.
For information on the possibilities
for fitting ISOFIX child seats to your
vehicle, refer to the table of seating
positions.
