ISOFIX anchoring points and the ISOFIX fastening system
The lateral rear seats of your vehicle are each equipped with regulation ISOFIX anchoring points. These consist of 2 rings located between the backrest and the vehicle seat, approx. 28 cm apart.
ISOFIX child seats are equipped with 2 latches which are eay to attach to these rings. This fi xing system is intended for children weighing up to 18 kg.
Incorrect installation of a child seat in a vehicle compromises protection of the child in the event of a collision. The ISOFIX system enables you to minimise the risks posed by incorrect fi tting. The ISOFIX fastening system gives you a convenient, strong and reliable fi tting for a child seat in your vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seat that is approved and supplied by the CITROËN network is the approved and supplied by approved KIDDY Isofi x child seat (1).
It can be installed "rear-facing" from birth to 13 kg and "forward-facing" from 9 to 18 kg.
Advice on installing your KIDDY Isofi x child seat:In the "forward facing" position, the vehicle’s corresponding front seat should be adjusted between the furthest forward and the medium fore/aft position, with the backrest upright.If "rear-facing", the shell of the child seat should be in contact with the backrest of the vehicle front seat.
Child seats secured by means of the vehicle seat belt
In conformance with the European Directive, the table tells yo u to what extent each of the seat positions in your vehicle may take a child seat that is secured by means of the vehicle seat belt and approved as "Uni versal" according to the weight of the child.
