Advice
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'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.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 must 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.
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, fitted with a seat belt
guide at shoulder level.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
-

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

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

t
he 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.
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 r

ear ward facing child seat,
-

t

he 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.
