the effectiveness of the demisting.
Ventilation

43Ventilation-
This position prevents exterior odours
and smoke entering the passenger
compartment.
Used simultaneously with the air con-
ditioning, recirculation enables both
heating and cooling performance to
be improved.
Used without the air conditioning,
recirculation may result in misting of
the windows.
As soon as possible, position the
control in the exterior air intake posi-
tion.To quickly de-ice or demist the wind-
screen and side windows:
- turn the temperature and air flow
controls to maximum,

GENERAL POINTS RELATING
TO CHILD SEATS
Although one of PEUGEOT’s main
criteria when designing your vehicle,
the safety of your children also de-
pends on you.
For maximum safety, please follow
these precautions:
- in accordance with Directive 2003/20, all children under the age of
12 or less than one metre fifty
tall must travel in approved child
seats suited to their weight , on
seats fitted with a seat belt or ISO-
FIX mountings*.
- statistically, the safest seats in
your vehicle for the transpor-
tation of 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.
PEUGEOT recommends that chil-
dren should travel in the rear seats
of your vehicle:
- "rearwards-facing" up to the age
of 2,
- "forwards-facing" over the age of
2.
INSTALLING A CHILD SEAT
USING A THREE POINT SEAT
BELT
"Rearwards-facing"
When a "rearwards-facing" child seat
is installed on the front passenger
seat , it is essential that the passen-
ger air bag** is disarmed. Otherwise,
the child would risk being seri-
ously injured or killed if the air bag
were to inflate . "Forwards-facing"
When a "forwards-facing" child seat
is installed on the
front passenger
seat , adjust the vehicle’s seat to the
intermediate longitudinal position
with the seat back upright and leave
the passenger air bag armed**.
* The rules for transporting children are specific to each country. Con-
sult the current legislation in your
country.
** According to model. Intermediate longitudinal position

ADVICE ON CHILD
SEATS
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 in relation to the child’s
body to a minimum , even for short
journeys.
For optimum installation of the "for-
ward 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 at-
tached securely to prevent it from be-
ing thrown around the vehicle in the
event of sharp braking. Children under the age of 10 must not
travel in the "forward facing" position
on the front passenger seat, unless
the rear seats are already occupied
by other children, cannot be used or
are absent.
Disarm the passenger air bag* when
a "rear facing" child seat is installed
on the front seat. Otherwise, the child
would risk being seriously injured or
killed if the air bag were to inflate.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- one or more 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 in- side 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, fit side blinds on the
rear windows.
* According to version.
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.
PEUGEOT recommends the use of
a booster seat which has a back, fit-
ted with a seat belt guide at shoulder
level.

"ISOFIX" MOUNTINGS
Your vehicle has been approved in ac-
cordance with the ISOFIX regulation.
The seats*, represented below, are fit-
ted with regulation ISOFIX mountings: These are two rings located between
the seat back and the seat cushion.
This ISOFIX mounting system guar-
antees reliable, safe and fast fitting of
the child seat in your vehicle.
The
ISOFIX child seats are fitted
with two locks which are secured
easily on these rings.
* According to version.
