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's   front   airbag  
w

hen   a   rear ward   facing   child   seat   is  
i

nstalled   on   the   front   seat.   Other wise   the  
c

hild   risks   being   seriously   injured   or   killed   if  
t

he   airbag   is   deployed.
Installation of a booster cushion
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  
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   accidental  
o

pening   of   the   rear   doors   or   windows.
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
 
a
 
for ward
 
facing
 c
hild
 
seat,
 
ensure
 
that
 
the
 
back
 
of
 
the
 
child
 s
eat
 
is
 
as
 
close
 
as
 
possible
 
to
 
the
 
back
 
of
 
t

he
 
vehicle's
 
seat,
 
in
 
contact
 
if
 
possible.
You
 
must
 
remove
 
the
 
head
 
restraint
 
before
 
f

itting
 
a
 
child
 
seat
 
on
 
a
 
passenger
 
seat.
 
E

nsure that the head restraint is stowed or
attached
 
securely
 
to
 
prevent
 
it
 
from
 
being
 
t

hrown around the vehicle in the event of
sharp
 
braking.
 
Refit
 
the
 
head
 
restraint
 
once
 
t

he
 
child
 
seat
 
has
 
been
 
removed.
