Children under the age of 10 must not travelin 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. Other wise, the child would risk beingseriously injured or killed if the airbag were to inflate.
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 windowsclosed,
- the keys within reach of children insidethe vehicle.
To protect young children from the rays of the sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.

passes correctly over the child's thighs.CITROËN recommends the use of a booster seat which has a back, fitted with a seat beltguide at shoulder level.
