ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
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.
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 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. 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.
The head restraint must be removed
before installin
g 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 your country.
d
eactivate 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.
Installing 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.
CITROËN
recommends the use of a
booster
seat which has a back, fitted
with
a seat belt guide at shoulder level.
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 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 to the rear
windows.
For an installation in row 3, put the
backrests
of
the
outer
and
centre
seats in row 2 in the table position, or
remove
these
seats
in
row
2,
so
that
the child seat or the child's legs do not
touch
the
seats
in
row
2.
