CHILD SAFETY
118
*
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
