 ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS 
 The  incorrect  installation  of  a  
child seat in a vehicle compro-
mises the child's protection in the event 
of an accident.  
Remember to fasten the seat belts or  
the  child  seat  harness     k e e p i n g    t h e  
 s l a c k   in relation to the child's body   to 
a minimum  , even for short journeys.  
For optimum installation of the "forward 
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 any dis-
comfort.
 If  the  head  restraint  has  to  be  re-
moved,  ensure  that  it  is  stored  or 
attached  securely  to  prevent  it  from 
being  thrown  around  the  vehicle  in 
the event of sharp braking.   Children under the age of 10 must not 
travel in the "forward facing" position 
on  the  front  passenger  seat,  unless 
the  rear  seats  are  already  occupied 
by other children, cannot be used or 
are absent.  
 Disarm  the  passenger  air  bag  when  
a  "rear  facing"  child  seat  is  installed 
on the front seat.  
 Otherwise,  the  child  would  risk  being  
seriously injured or killed if the air bag 
 w e r e   t o   i n fl   a t e .  
    As a safety precaution, do not leave:  
   -   one or more children alone and 
unsupervised in a vehicle, 
  -   a child or an animal in a vehicle  which is exposed to the sun, with  
the windows closed, 
  -   the keys within reach of children  inside the vehicle.  
 To  protect  young  children  from  the 
 r a y s   o f   t h e   s u n ,   fi   t   s i d e   b l i n d s   o n   t h e  
rear windows.   
     I n s t a l l i n g   a   b o o s t e r   s e a t   
 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 o o s t e r    s e a t    w h i c h    h a s    a    b a c k ,    fi   t t e d  
with a seat belt guide at shoulder level.
