CHILD SAFETY
"ISOFIX" MOUNTINGS
Your vehicle has been approved in
accordance with the new ISOFIX
regulation
s
.
The outer rear seats are fi tted with
regulation ISOFIX mountings.
In the rear
This ISOFIX mounting system pro-
vides fast, reliable and safe fi tting
of the child seat in your vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats
are fi tted
with two locks which are secured
easily on the two rings A
, following
installation of the guides (supplied
with the seat).
Some also have an upper strap
which is attached to the ring B
or C
.
To attach this strap in the rear, re-
move the vehicle seat's head re-
straint and stow it. Lift the cover on
the rear shelf (Saloon) or the roof
(Tourer). Then fi x the hook on the
ring B
or C
and tighten the upper
strap.
The incorrect installation of a child
seat in a vehicle compromises the
child's protection in the event of an
accident.
For information regarding the
ISOFIX child seats which can be
installed in your vehicle, consult
the table of positions for fi tting
ISOFIX child seats.
Saloon
These are three rings for each outer
rear seat:
- two lower rings A
, located be-
tween the vehicle seat back and
cushion, indicated by a label,
- an upper ring B
, fi xed to the rear
shelf, concealed under a fl ap
with the logo TOP TETHER be-
hind the head restraint.

CHILD SAFETY
ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
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.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- one or more children alone and
unsupervised 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, 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.
The incorrect installation of a child
seat in a vehicle compromises the
child's protection in the event of an
accident.
When installing a child seat using the
seat belt, check that the seat belt is
tightened correctly on the child seat
and that it secures the child seat
fi rmly on the seat of your vehicle.
Remember to fasten the seat belts
or the child seat harnesses keeping
the slack
in relation to the child's
body to a minimum, even for short
journeys.
For optimum installation of the "for-
wards-facing" child seat, ensure that
the back of the child seat is in con-
tact 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.
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 be-
ing seriously injured or killed if the
airbag were to infl ate.
*
According to country and current
local legislation.
