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.
PEUGEOT recommends the use of a booster seat which has a back,
fi tted 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.
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 rmly on the vehicle's seat.
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 "forward 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.
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.
Deactivate the passenger airbag when a "rear 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. 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.

"ISOFIX" MOUNTINGS

Your vehicle is approved with regulation ISOFIX mountings.
The diagram below indicates which seats are fi tted with these ISOFIX
mountings:
These are three rings for each seat:


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

- a ring B
referred to as the TOP TETHER
, located under a cover
behind the top of the backrest 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 ISOFIX child seats
are fi tted with two locks which are secured
easily on the two rings A
.
Some also have a top tether strap
which is attached to ring B
.
To attach this strap, open the cover at the top of the backrest. Then fi x
the hook on ring B
and tighten the top tether 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 possibilities for installing ISOFIX
child seats in your vehicle, refer to the ISOFIX child seat locations
table.

SAFETY
