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 for ward 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.
Recommendations on 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.
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:
-
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 legislation on carrying a child on the
front passenger seat is specific to each
country. Refer to the legislation in force in
your country.
Deactivate the passenger's front airbag
when a rear ward facing child seat is installed
on the front seat. Other wise, the child would
risk being seriously injured or killed if the
airbag were deployed. 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.
