Child seats
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle  compromises   the   child's   protection   in  
t

he   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
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  
s

eat belt, ensure that this is well tensioned
on
  the   child   seat   and   that   it   is   holding   the  
c

hild   seat   firmly   against   the   seat   of   your  
v

ehicle.   If   your   front   passenger   seat   is  
a

djustable,   move   it   for ward   if   necessary.
At the rear seats, always leave sufficient
space
  between   the   front   seat   and:
-
 
a
  rear ward   facing   child   seat,
-

t
he feet of a child seated in a for ward
facing
  child   seat.
Recommendations
For this, move the front seat for ward and if
necessary  straighten   its   backrest.
For

s

eat   is   as   close   as   possible   to   the   backrest  
o

f   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  
p

assenger
 sea
t.
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.Installing a booster
cushion
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  
c

losed,
-
 
t
he   keys   within   reach   of   children   inside  
t

he   vehicle.
To
  prevent   accidental   opening   of   the   doors,  
u

se   the   child   lock.
Take
  care   not   to   open   the   rear   windows   by  
m

ore   than   one   third.
To
  protect   young   children   from   the   rays   of  
t

he   sun,   fit   side   blinds   on   the   rear   windows.
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned
  on   the   child's   shoulder   without  
t

ouching   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  
g

uide   at   shoulder   level.
