CHILD SAFETY




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.
CITROËN recommends the use of
a booster seat which has a back, fi t-
ted with a seat belt guide at shoulder
level. As a safety precaution, do not leave:


- a child or children alone and un-
supervised 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 win-
dows by more than one third.
To protect young children from the
rays of the sun, fi t side blinds on the
rear windows.
The incorrect installation of a child
seat in a vehicle compromises the
child's protection in the event of an
accident.
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 fi rm-
ly on the seat of your vehicle. If your
passenger seat is adjustable, move it
forwards if necessary.
For optimum installation of the "for-
wards-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 re-
moved, ensure that it is stored or
attached securely 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 "forwards-facing"
position on the front passenger seat,
unless the rear seats are already oc-
cupied by other children, cannot be
used or are absent.
Deactivate the passenger airbag
when a "rearwards-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.

CHILD SAFETY
This ISOFIX mounting system provides
reliable, safe and fast fi tting of the child
seat in your vehicle.

ISOFIX child seats
are fi tted with two
latches which are secured easily on
these rings A
.
Some also have a top tether belt
which
can be attached to ring B
.
To attach this belt, raise the head re-
straint of the seat, then pass the buckle
between the rods. Then fi x the buckle
on ring B
, then tension the top tether
belt.
If a child is not installed in a vehicle cor-
rectly, the child's protection in the event
of a collision will be compromised.
To know which ISOFIX child seats can
be installed in your vehicle, see the ta-
ble of seating positions for ISOFIX child
seats.
The rear seats must be in the fully back
position to install ISOFIX seats.
This child seat can also be used on seats which are not fi tted with ISOFIX
mountings. In this case, it must be attached to the vehicle seat using the
three point seat belt.

Follow the instructions for fi tting the child seat given in the seat manu-
facturer's installation guide. APPROVED FOR YOUR VEHICLE
