Installing a child seat with a support leg
At the bottom of the
storage compartmentAway from the storage
compartment areaCare must be taken when installing a child seat
with a support leg in the vehicle. In particular
you should look for the presence of a storage
compartment below the rear seat footwells.
Do not place the support leg on the
storage compartment cover; it might
break in a serious impact. Where the
adjustments of the support leg allow it,
we suggest two other possibilities for
installation.
The centre rear seat does not have
a storage compartment below the
footwell. You can therefore easily fit a
child seat with a support leg, whether
installed with the ISOFIX mountings or
using the 3 point seat belt. If you cannot fit the support leg in
the way described in one of these
two procedures, you should not fit a
child seat with support leg to this seat.
If the support leg is long enough, you can
adjust it so that it contact the bottom of the
storage compartment. Remove all objects from
the storage compartment before installing the
support leg.
Another possibility, if the support leg is long
enough and can be inclined sufficiently (always
by following the recommendations given in the
installation instructions for the child seat), is
to position the support leg so that it contacts
the floor away from the storage compartment.
Adjust the longitudinal position of the front
or rear seat to obtain a satisfactory position
for the support leg away from the storage
compartment.

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 .To secure the child seat to the TOP TETHER

Recommendations
The 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 it.
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 the installation of a child seat using a seat
belt, ensure that this is well tensioned on the
child seat and that it is holding the child seat
firmly against the seat of your vehicle. If your
front passenger seat is adjustable, move it
forward if necessary.
At the rear seats, always leave sufficient
space between the front seat and:
-

a r
ear ward facing child seat,
-

t
he feet of a child seated in a for ward
facing child seat.
For this, move the front seat for ward and if
necessary straighten its backrest. 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, or in contact if possible.
The head restraint must be removed before
installing a child seat with a backrest on the
passenger seat.
Ensure 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.
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 the country
in which you are driving.
Deactivate the passenger's front airbag when
a rear ward facing child seat is installed on
the front passenger seat. Otherwise, the child
would risk being seriously injured or killed if
the airbag were deployed.
Installing a booster
cushion
Child seats
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, fitted with a seat belt
guide at shoulder level.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
-

o
ne or more children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,
-

a c
hild or an animal in a vehicle which
is exposed to the sun, with the windows
closed,
-

t
he keys within reach of children inside
the vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the doors,
use the child lock.
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 on the rear windows.

The driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
fastened before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as
they will not fulfil their role fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
permitting automatic adjustment of the length
of the strap to your size. The seat belt is
stowed automatically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt
is reeled in correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be positioned
as low as possible on the pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fitted with an automatic
locking device which comes into operation in
the event of a collision, emergency braking
or if the vehicle rolls over. You can release
the device by pulling the strap firmly and then
releasing it so that it reels in slightly.In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
-

b
e tightened as close to the body as
possible,
-

b
e pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it does not
twist,
-

b
e used to restrain only one person,
-

n
ot bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
-

n
ot be converted or modified to avoid
affecting its performance.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and seriousness
of the impact , the pretensioning device may
be deployed before and independently of the
airbags. Deployment of the pretensioners
is accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp
comes


on.
Following an impact, have the seat belts
system checked, and if necessary replaced,
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Recommendations for
children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is
less than 12 years old or shorter than one and
a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure more
than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your lap.
For more information on child seats, refer to
the corresponding section.
In accordance with current safety regulations,
for all repairs on your vehicle's seat belts, go
to a qualified workshop with the skills and
equipment needed, which a PEUGEOT dealer
is able to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop,
particularly if the straps show signs of
damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or
a textile cleaning product, sold by PEUGEOT
dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned
and reeled in correctly.
