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

CHILD SAFETY

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.

CHILD SAFETY
130
Children under the age of 10 must
not travel in the "forwards-facing"
position on the front passenger seat,
unless the rear seats are already oc-
cupied by other children, cannot be
used or are absent.
Deactivate the passenger airbag
when a "rearwards-facing" child seat
is installed on the front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were to infl ate.





ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS

As a safety precaution, do not leave:


- a child or children alone and un-
supervised 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 prevent accidental opening of the
doors and rear windows, use the
"Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear win-
dows by more than one third.
To protect young children from the
rays of the sun, fi t side blinds on the
rear windows.


Installing a booster seat
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 booster seat which has a back, fi t-
ted with a seat belt guide at shoulder
level. The incorrect installation of a child
seat in a vehicle compromises the
child's protection in the event of an
accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or
the child seat harnesses keeping the
slack relative to the child's body to a
minimum, even for short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the
seat belt, ensure that the seat belt is
tightened correctly on the child seat
and that it secures the child seat fi rm-
ly on the seat of your vehicle. If your
passenger seat is adjustable, move it
forwards if necessary.
For optimum installation of the "for-
wards-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 discomfort.
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.

"ISOFIX" MOUNTINGS

Your vehicle has been approved in
accordance with the new
ISOFIX regu-
lation
.
The seats, represented below, are fi tted
with regulation ISOFIX mountings: There are three rings for each seat:


- two rings A
, located between the
vehicle seat back and cushion, indi-
cated by a label,

- a ring B
, behind the seat, referred to
as the TOP TETHER
for fi xing the
upper strap. This ISOFIX mounting system provides
fast, reliable and safe fi tting of the child
seat in your vehicle.
The incorrect installation of a
child seat in a vehicle compro-
mises the child's protection in
the event of an accident.
For information regarding the ISOFIX
child seats which can be installed in
your vehicle, refer to the table showing
the locations for installing ISOFIX child
seats. When fi tting an ISOFIX child
seat to the left hand rear seat,
before fi tting the seat, fi rst move
the centre rear seat belt towards
the middle of the vehicle, so as
to avoid the seat interfering with
the operation of the seat belt.
The ISOFIX child seats
are fi tted with
two latches which are secured on the
two rings A
.
Some seats also have an upper strap
,
known as the Top Tether, which is at-
tached to ring B
.
To attach this strap, raise the vehicle
seat's head restraint then pass the hook
between its rods. Then fi x the hook on
ring B
and tighten the upper strap.
