Advice on child seats


The incorrect installation of a child seat in a vehicle compromises the child's protectionin the event of an accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the child seat harness keeping the slackin relation to the child's body to a minimum , even for shor t journeys.
To install a child seat using the vehicle'sseat belt, ensure that the belt is welltightened on the child seat and that it holdsthe child seat firmly against the vehicle's seat. If your passenger seat is adjustable,move it forward if necessary.
For optimum installation of the "for ward facing" child seat, ensure that the back of the child seat is as close as possible tothe back of the vehicle's seat, in contact if possible.


Children at the front
The legislation on carrying a child on the front passenger seat is specific to each country.
Refer to the current legislation in your country.
Deactivate the passenger airbag when a "rearward facing" child seat is installed on the front seat. Otherwise the child risksbeing seriously injured or killed if the airbag is deployed.


Installation of a booster cushion

The chest par t 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 abooster seat which has a back, fitted with a seat belt guide at shoulder level.


As a safety precaution, do not leave:


- one or more children alone and unsuper vised in a vehicle,

- a child or an animal in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun, with the windowsclosed,

- keys within the reach of children insidethe vehicle. Use the "child lock" to prevent anyaccidental opening of the rear doors or windows.
Avoid opening the rear windows by more than a third.

To protect young children from the rays of the sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.

You must remove the head restraint beforefitting a child seat on a passenger seat.Ensure that the head restraint is stowed or attached securely to prevent it from being thrown around the vehicle in the event of sharp braking. Refit the head restraint oncethe child seat has been removed

Child safety

with the latest ISOFIXregulation
.
The seats, represented below, are fitted with
regulation ISOFIX mountings:




















"ISOFIX" mountings
There are three rings for each seat:
- two rings A, located between the vehicle seat back and cushion, indicated by a label,
- a rin
g B, behind the seat, referred to as theTOP TETHER
for fixing the upper strap.
This ISOFIX mountin
g system provides fast,
reliable and sa
fe fitting of the child seat in your
vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats
are fitted with two
latches which are secured on the two rings A
.

Some seats also have an upper strapwhich is
attached to ring B.

The incorrect installation of a child seatin a vehicle compromises the child's protection in the event of an accident.Follow strictly the advice given in the installation instructions provided with the child seat.
For information regarding the ISOFIX child seats which can be installed inyour vehicle, refer to the table showingthe locations for installing ISOFIX childseats.
To secure the child seat to the top tether:
- remove and stow the head restraint before installing the child seat on this seat (refit it
once the child seat has been removed),
- pass the child seat strap over the top o
f
the backrest of the seat, keeping it centred
between the head restraint apertures,
- secure the hook of the upper strap to the
ring B,- tighten the upper strap. When
fitting an ISOFIX child seat to the right
hand rear seat, before fixing the seat in place, first move the centre rear seat belt towards the
middle of the vehicle so as to not interfere with
the operation o
f the seat belt.

The driver must ensure that passengers usethe seat belts correctly and that they are allrestrained securely before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle, always fasten your seat belt, even for short journeys. Do not interchange the seat belt buckles asthey will not fulfil their role fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel permitting automatic adjustment of the lengthof the strap to your size. The seat belt isstowed automatically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seatbelt is reeled in correctly.
The lower part of the strap must bepositioned as low as possible on the pelvis.
The upper par t must be positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fitted with an automatic locking device which comes into operation inthe event of a collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls over. You can releasethe device by pulling firmly on the strap and releasing it so that it reels in slightly.

In order to be effective, a seat belt must:


- be tightened as close to the body as possible,


- be pulled in front of you with a smooth movement, checking that it does nottwist,

- be used to restrain only one person,

- not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,

- not be converted or modified to avoidaffecting its per formance.
In accordance with current safety regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle, go to aqualified workshop with the skills and equipment needed, which a CITROËN dealer is able to provide. Have your seat belts checked regularly by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop, particularly if the straps show signs of damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or a textile cleaning product, sold by CITROËN dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned and reeled in correctly.
Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is
less than 12 years old or shor ter than one and a half metres.Never use the same seat belt to securemore than one person. Never allow a child to travel on your lap.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and seriousnessof the impact
, the pretensioning device may be deployed before and independently of theairbags. Deployment of the pretensionersis accompanied by a slight discharge of harmless smoke and a noise, due to theactivation of the pyrotechnic car tridge incorporated in the system. In all cases, the airbag warning lampcomes on.Following an impact, have the seat belts system checked, and if necessary replaced,by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
