CHILD SAFETY

CITROËN recommends
that
children should travel in the rear
seats
of your vehicle, with the
rear seats in the fully back posi-
tion:


- "rearwards-facing"
up to
the age of 2,

- "forwards-facing"
over the
age of 2.
SEATS


"Forwards-facing"
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
airbag activated.
"Rearwards-facing"
When a "rearwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat
,
the passenger airbag must be deacti-
vated. Otherwise, the child would risk
being seriously injured or killed if the
airbag were to infl ate.


*
The rules for carrying children are
specifi c to each country. Refer to the
current legislation in your country. Although one of CITROËN's main cri-
teria when designing your vehicle, the
safety of your children also depends on
you.
For maximum safety, please follow these
precautions:


- 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
, on seats fi tted with a seat
belt or ISOFIX mountings * ,

- statistically, the safest seats in
your vehicle for the transportation
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.
