Although one of CITROËN’s main cri-
teria when designing your vehicle, the
safety of your children also depends on
you. INSTALLING A CHILD SEAT USING A THREE POINT SEAT BELT
Intermediate longitudinal position
* The rules for transporting children are specifi c to each country. Consult the
current legislation in your country.
GENERAL POINTS RELATING
TO CHILD SEATS
“Forwards-facing”
“Rearwards-facing”
For maximum safety, please follow
these precautions:
- in accordance with Directive 2003/20, all children under the
age of 12 or less than one me-
tre fi fty * tall must travel in ap-
proved child seats suited to
their weight , on seats fi tted with
a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings * ,
- 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. When a “rearwards-facing”
child seat is installed on the

front passenger seat , it is
essential that the passenger
air bag is disarmed. Otherwise,
the
child would risk being seriously
injured or killed if the air bag were
to infl ate.

CITROËN recommends that children
should travel in the
rear seats of your
vehicle:
- “rearwards-facing” up to the age
of 2,
- “forwards-facing” over the age
of 2. 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
air bag armed.
