GENERAL POINTS RELATING TO CHILD SEATS
Although one of CITROËN’s main
criteria when designing your vehicle,
the safety of your children also depends
on you.
For maximum safety, please follow
these precautions:
- all children under the age of 12
or less than one metre fi fty tall
must travel in approved child
seats suited to their weight ,
on seats fi tted with a seat belt or
ISOFIX mountings * .
- a child weighing less than 9 kg
must travel in the "rearwards-
facing" position in the front.
"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 chil- dren are specifi c to each country.
Consult the current legislation in
your country. Intermediate longitudinal
position
"Rearwards-facing"
When a "rearwards-facing" child seat
is installed on the
front passenger
seat , it is essential that the passenger
air bag * is disarmed. Otherwise, the
child would risk being seriously
injured or killed if the air bag were
to infl ate .

49SEATS-
ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
The incorrect installation of a
child seat in a vehicle com-
promises 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 removed,
ensure that it is stored or attached se-
curely 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 "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 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.
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, fit-
ted with a seat belt guide at shoulder
level.
To prevent accidental opening
of the doors, use the "Child
lock".
Take care not to open the rear windows
by more than one third.
To protect young children from the
rays of the sun, fi t side blinds on the
rear windows.

These are two rings located between
the seat back and the seat cushion.
This ISOFIX mounting system guar-
antees reliable, safe and fast fi tting of
the child seat in your vehicle. The
ISOFIX child seats are fi tted
with two locks which are secured
easily on these rings.
Your vehicle has been approved in ac-
cordance with the ISOFIX
regulation .
The seats, represented below, are fi t-
ted with regulation ISOFIX mountings:

The body of this child seat must be in contact with the ba ck
of the vehicle’s front seat. It is imperative that the vehicle’s front seat is adjusted to
the
intermediate longitudinal position.

seats which are not fi tted with ISOFIX
mountings. In this case, it is compulsory to secure
the child seat to the vehicle’s seat using

SEAT BELTS
Locking the seat belts
Pull the strap, then insert the end into
the buckle.
Check that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap.
Unfastening the seat belts
Press the button on the buckle.
Front seat belts with
pre-tensioner
Safety in the event of frontal impacts
has been improved by the introduction
of pre-tensioning seat belts for the
front seats.
Depending on the seriousness of the
impact, the pre-tensioning system
instantly tightens the seat belts and
pulls them against the bodies of the
occupants.
The pre-tensioning seat belts are
armed when the ignition is on.
Seat belt height adjustment:
To lower or raise: slide the control
downwards or upwards. Rear seat belts
The rear seats are fi tted with three
three-point inertia reel seat belts
(two-part rear seat, 1/3 - 2/3).

51SEATS-
The driver must ensure that
the passengers use the seat
belts correctly and that they
are all properly restrained
before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the
vehicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even for short journeys.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles as
they will not fulfi l their role fully.
If the seats have armrests * , the lap
part of the seat belt must always
pass under the armrest.
The seat belts are fi tted with an inertia
reel permitting automatic adjustment
of the length of the strap to your size.
The seat belt is stored automatically
when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the
seat belt is rolled up correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the
pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in
the hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fi tted with an au-
tomatic locking device which comes
into operation in the event of a colli-
sion, on emergency braking or if the
vehicle rolls over. You can release the
device by pulling rapidly on the strap
and releasing it.
In order to be effective, a seat belt:
- must be tightened as close to the body as possible,
- must restrain one adult only,
- must not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
- must be pulled in front of you with a smooth movement, checking
that it does not twist,
- must not be transformed or modifi ed to avoid altering its performance.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, all repairs and checks
must be carried out by a CITROËN
dealer who guarantees that the work
is carried out correctly.
Have your seat belts checked regularly
by a CITROËN dealer and 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.
* According to model.
Recommendations for children:
- use a suitable child seat if the pas-
senger is less than 12 years old or
shorter than one metre fi fty,
- do not use the strap-guide * when a child seat is installed.
- never use the same seat belt to secure more than one person,
- never allow a child to travel on your lap.

Depending on the nature and se-
riousness of the impacts, the pre-
tensioning device may be triggered
before and independently of the air
bags. Triggering of the pre-tensioners
is accompanied by a slight emission
of harmless smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the air bag warning light
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat
belts system checked, and if necessary
replaced, by a CITROËN dealer.
After folding or moving a
seat or rear bench seat,
ensure that the seat belt
is positioned and rolled up
correctly.
