advice on child seats
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle  compromises   the   child's   protection  
i

n   the   event   of   an   accident.
Check
  that   there   is   no   seat   belt   or   seat   belt  
b

uckle   under   the   child   seat   as   this   could  
de

stabilise
 i
t.
Remember
  to   fasten   the   seat   belts   or   the  
c

hild seat harness keeping the slack in
relation to the child's body to a minimum ,
even
  for   short   journeys.
To
  install   a   child   seat   using   the   vehicle's  
s

eat belt, ensure that the belt is well
tightened
  on   the   child   seat   and   that   it   holds  
t

he   child   seat   firmly   against   the   vehicle's  
s

eat.   If   your   passenger   seat   is   adjustable,  
m

ove   it   for ward   if   necessary.
On
  the   rear   seats,   always   leave   enough  
s

pace   between   the   front   seat   and:
-
 
a
  rear ward   facing   child   seat,
-
 
t
he   child's   feet   when   in   a   for ward   facing  
c

hild   seat.
To
  do   this,   move   the   front   seat   for ward   and,  
i

f   necessary,   also   straighten   its   backrest.
children at the front
The legislation on carrying a child on the front   passenger   seat   is   specific   to   each  
c

o unt r y.
Refer
  to   the   current   legislation   in   your  
c

o unt r y.
Deactivate
  the   passenger   airbag   when   a  
"

rear ward   facing"   child   seat   is   installed   on  
t

he   front   seat.   Other wise   the   child   risks  
b

eing   seriously   injured   or   killed   if   the   airbag  
i

s   deployed.
Installation of a booster cushion
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  
b

ooster   seat   which   has   a   back,   fitted   with   a  
s

eat   belt   guide   at   shoulder   level.
As
  a   safety   precaution,   do   not   leave:
-
 
o
ne   or   more   children   alone   and  
u

nsupervised in a vehicle,
-
 
a
  child   or   an   animal   in   a   vehicle   which  
i

s   exposed   to   the   sun,   with   the   windows  
c

losed,
-
 
k
eys   within   the   reach   of   children   inside  
t

he   vehicle.
Use
  the   "child   lock"   to   prevent   any  
a

ccidental   opening   of   the   rear   doors   or  
w

indows.
Avoid
  opening   the   rear   windows   by   more  
t

han   a   third.
To
  protect   young   children   from   the   rays   of  
t

he   sun,   fit   side   blinds   on   the   rear   windows.
For
 
optimum
 
installation
 
of
 
the
 
"for ward
 f
acing"
 
child
 
seat,
 
ensure
 
that
 
the
 
back
 
of
 t
he child seat is as close as possible to
the
 
back
 
of
 
the
 
vehicle's
 
seat,
 
in
 
contact
 
if
 
p

ossible.
You
 
must
 
remove
 
the

restraint
 
before
 
f

itting
 
a
 
child
 
seat
 
on
