Child safety
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a vehicle compromises the child's protection in the event of an accident. Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt buckle under the child seat, as this could destabilise it. Remember to fasten the seat belts or the child seat harnesses keeping the slack relative to the child's body to a minimum, even for short journeys. 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 firmly on the seat of your vehicle. If your passenger seat is adjustable, move it for wards if necessary. At rear seating positions, always leave sufficient space between the front seat and: - a "rear ward facing" child seat,
- the child's feet for a child seat fitted "forward facing". To do this, move the front seat for wards and, if necessary, move its backrest into the upright position.
Advice on child seats
Installing a booster seat For optimum installation of the "forward-facing" child seat, ensure that the back of the child seat is as close as possible to the backrest of the vehicle's seat, in contact if possible. You mst remove the head restraint before installing a child seat with backrest to a passenger seat. Ensure that the head restraint is stored or attached securely to prevent it from being thrown around the vehicle in the event of sharp braking. Refit the head restraint when the child seat is removed.
Children at the front
The legislation on carrying children on the front passenger seat is specific to each country. Refer to the legislation in force in
your country. Deactivate the passenger airbag when a "rear ward-facing" child seat is installed on the front seat. Otherwise, the child would risk being seriously injured or killed if the airbag were to inflate.
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, fitted with a seat belt guide at shoulder level. As a safety precaution, do not leave: - a child or 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 and rear windows, 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, fit side blinds on the rear windows.

To secure the child seat to the TOP TETHER : - pass the child seat strap over the centre of the vehicle's seat backrest, - raise the TOP TETHER , - secure the upper strap fixing to the ring B , - tighten the upper strap.

For information on the possibilities for fitting ISOFIX child seats to your vehicle, refer to the table of seating positions.
- a ring B , located under a cover on the back of the top of the seat backrest, referred to as the TOP TETHER for fixing the upper strap. TOP TETHER for fixing the upper strap. TOP TETHER Its position is indicated by a marking.
The ISOFIX mountings are three rings for each seat:
The TOP TETHER is used to secure the upper strap of child seats that have one. This device limits for ward tipping of the child seat, in the event of a front impact.
This ISOFIX mounting system ensures fast, reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in your vehicle. The ISOFIX child seats are fitted with two latches which are secured easily on the two rings A . Some also have an upper strap (or top tether) which is attached to ring B .
When installing an ISOFIX child seat on the right hand rear seat, before securing the seat, first move the centre rear seat belt towards the middle of the vehicle, so as to not inter fere with the operation of the seat belt.
