GENERAL POINTS RELATING
TO CHILD SEATS
Intermediate longitudinal position
CITROËN recommends that chil-
dren should travel in the rear seats
o f y o u r v e h i c l e :
- "rearwards-facing" up to the
age of 2,
- "forwards-facing" over the age
o f 2 . When a "rearwards-facing" child
seat is installed on the
front
passenger seat , it is essential
that the passenger airbag is deacti-
v a t e d . O t h e r w i s e , the child would
risk being seriously injured or
k i l l e d i f t h e a i r b a g w e r e t o i n fl a t e .
INSTALLING A CHILD SEAT USING A THREE POINT SEAT BELT
When a "forwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat ,
adjust the vehicle's seat to the interme-
diate longitudinal position with the seat
back upright and leave the passenger
a i r b a g a c t i v a t e d .

F o r m a x i m u m s a f e t y , p l e a s e f o l l o w
t h e s e p r e c a u t i o n s :
- in accordance with European reg-
ulations, all children under the
age of 12 or less than one and a
half metres tall must travel in ap-
proved child seats suited to their
weight , o n s e a t s fi t t e d w i t h a s e a t
b e l t o r I S O F I X m o u n t i n g s * ,
- statistically, the safest seats in
your vehicle for the transpor-
tation of children are the rear
seats,
- a child weighing less than 9 kg
must travel in the "rearwards-
facing" position both in the front
and in the rear.

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must
be positioned on the child's shoulder

Ensure that the lap part of the seat

A s a s a f e t y p r e c a u t i o n , d o n o t l e a v e :
- one or more children alone and un-supervised in a vehicle,
- a child or an animal in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun, with
the windows closed,
- t h e k e y s w i t h i n r e a c h o f c h i l d r e n i n s i d e t h e v e h i c l e .

The control is located on the edge of

The incorrect installation of a child
seat in a vehicle compromises the
child's protection in the event of an ac-
c i d e n t .
R e m e m b e r t o f a s t e n t h e s e a t b e l t s o r

For optimum installation of the "for-
ward facing" child seat, ensure that
the back of the child seat is in contact
with the back of the vehicle's seat and
that the head restraint does not cause
a n y d i s c o m f o r t .
If the head restraint has to be removed,
ensure that it is stored or attached se-
c u r e l y t o p r e v e n t i t f r o m b e i n g t h r o w n
around the vehicle in the event of sharp
b r a k i n g .
Children under the age of 10 must not
travel in the "forward facing" position
on the front passenger seat, unless
t h e r e a r s e a t s a r e a l r e a d y o c c u p i e d
b y o t h e r c h i l d r e n , c a n n o t b e u s e d o r

Disarm the passenger air bag when
a "rear facing" child seat is installed
o n t h e f r o n t s e a t . O t h e r w i s e , t h e c h i l d
