General points relating to
child seats
* The legislation on carrying children is specific to each country. Consult the current
legislation in your country.

considerations when designing your vehicle,
the safety of your children also depends on

-
s
tatistically, the safest seats in your
vehicle for carr ying children are the rear
seats,
-
a c

travel in the rear ward facing position
both in the front and in the rear.
CITROËN recommends that children
should travel in the outer rear seats of
your vehicle:

and straighten the backrest so that the
"rear ward facing" child seat does not
touch the vehicle's front seat.
"Forward facing"
Ensure that the seat belt is correctly
tensioned. For child seats with a support
leg, ensure that this is in firm contact with
t h e f l o o r.
When a "for ward facing" child seat is installed

deactivated. Otherwise, the child would
risk being seriously injured or killed if the
airbag were deployed . When a "for ward facing" child seat is installed

‘ISOFIX’ mountings
Your vehicle has been approved in accordance
with the latest ISOFIX regulation.
The seats, shown below, are fitted with ISOFIX
compliant mountings:
-

A r
ing 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. It is indicated by a marking.
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 easily secured on the two
rings A .
Some also have an upper strap which is
attached to the 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.
The incorrect installation of a child seat in
a vehicle compromises the protection of
the child in the event of an accident.
Strictly obser ve the fitting instructions
provided with the child seat.
For information on the options for installing
ISOFIX child seats in your vehicle, refer to the
summary table.
-

T
wo rings A , located between the vehicle
seat back and cushion, indicated by a
marking.
There are three rings for each seat:
To secure the child seat to the TOP TETHER:
-

P
ass the child seat strap over the centre of
the vehicle's seat backrest.
-

L
ift the TOP TETHER cover.

Advice
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's protection in
the event of an accident.
Check that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle under the child seat as this could
make it unstable.
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.
In the rear, always leave sufficient space
between the front seat and:
-
a "
rear ward facing" child seat,
-

t
he feet of a child seated in a "for ward
facing" child seat.
For this, move the seat for ward and, if
necessary, straighten its backrest too.
For optimal installation of the "forward facing"
child seat, ensure that its backrest is as close
as possible to the backrest of the vehicle
seat, if possible in contact with it. The head restraint must be removed before
installing a child seat with a backrest on 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 once
the child seat has been removed.
CITROËN recommends using a booster seat
with a backrest, equipped with a belt guide at
shoulder level.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
-

a c
hild or children alone and unattended in
a vehicle,
-

a c
hild or an animal in a vehicle exposed
to the sun, with the windows closed,
-

t
he keys within the 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.
Children in 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's front airbag when
a "rear ward facing" child seat is installed on
the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child risks being seriously
injured or killed if the airbag is deployed.
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.
