ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
Children at the front
The legislation on carrying children on a front passenger seat is
specifi c 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 killed if the airbag were to infl ate.
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a vehicle compromises
the child's protection in the event of an accident.
When installing 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 fi rmly on the vehicle's seat.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the child seat harnesses
keeping the slack in relation to the child's body
to a minimum ,
even for short journeys.
For optimum installation of the "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, even in contact if possible.
Installation of a booster seat
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.
PEUGEOT recommends the use of a booster seat which has a back,
fi tted with a seat belt guide at shoulder level.
As a safety precaution, do not 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.
