CHILD SAFETY
126
*
The rules for carrying children are
specifi c to each country. Refer to the
current legislation in your country.
GENERAL POINTS RELATING
TO CHILD SEATS
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 observe
the following recommendations:
- in accordance with European regu-
lations, all children under the age
of 12 or less than one and a half
metres tall must travel in approved
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 carrying 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.
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.
CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT
"Rearwards-facing"
When a "rearwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat
,
it is essential that the passenger airbag
is deactivated. Otherwise, the child
would risk being seriously injured or
killed if the airbag were to infl ate
.
"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.
Intermediate longitudinal position

Passenger airbag OFF
Refer to the advice given on the label
present on both sides of the passen-
ger's sun visor.
To assure the safety of your child, you must deactivate the passenger's
front airbag when you install a child seat in the rearwards facing position
on the front passenger's seat.
Otherwise, there is a risk that the child could be seriously injured or killed
if the airbag were deployed.
