GENERAL POINTS RELATING TO CHILD SEATS















CITROËN recommends
that
children should travel on the
rear seats
of your vehicle:


- "rearward-facing"
up to the
age of 3,

- "forward-facing"
over the
age of 3.


Although one of CITROËN main criteria when designing your vehicle, the safety of
your children also depends on you.

*
The rules for carrying children are
specifi c to each country. Refer to the
legislation in force in your country.
For maximum safety, please observe
the following recommendations:


- in accordance with European regu-
lations, all children under the age
of 12 or less than one and a half
metres tall must travel in ap-
proved child seats suited to their
weight
, on seats fi tted with a seat
belt or ISOFIX mountings * ,

- statistically, the safest seats in
your vehicle for carrying children
are the rear seats,


- a child weighing less than 9 kg
must travel in the "rearwards-
facing" position both in the front
and in the rear.

diate longitudinal and highest position

CHILD SEAT AT THE REAR

"Rearward facing"


When a "rearward facing" child seat is
installed on a rear passenger seat
,
move the vehicle's front seat forwards
and straighten the backrest so that the
"rearward facing" child seat does not
touch the vehicle's front seat.



"Forward facing"


When a "forward facing" child seat is
installed on a rear passenger seat
,
move the vehicle's front seat forwards
and straighten the backrest so that the
legs of the child in the "forward facing"
child seat do not touch the vehicle's
front seat.



Centre rear seat


A child seat with a support leg must
never be installed on the centre rear
passenger seat
.

"ISOFIX" MOUNTINGS

There are three rings for each seat:


- two rings A
, located between the
vehicle seat back and cushion, indi-
cated by a marking,
- a ring B
, behind the seat and identi-
fi ed by a marking, referred to as the
TOP TETHER
for fi xing the upper
strap.
This ISOFIX mounting system provides
fast, reliable and safe fi tting of the child
seat in your vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats
are fi tted with
two latches which are secured on the
two rings A
.
Some seats also have an upper strap
,
which is attached to ring B
.
The incorrect installation of a
child seat in a vehicle compro-
mises the child's protection in
the event of an accident.
Follow strictly the fi tting instruc-
tions provided by with the child
seat.

For information on the possibilities for
installing ISOFIX child seats in your ve-
hicle, refer to the summary table.

When fi tting an ISOFIX child
seat to the left hand rear seat,
before fi tting the seat, fi rst move
the centre rear seat belt towards
the middle of the vehicle, so as
to avoid the seat interfering with
the operation of the seat belt.
Your vehicle has been approved in ac-
cordance with the latest
ISOFIX regu-
lation
.
The seats, represented below, are fi tted
with regulation ISOFIX mountings: To secure the child seat to the TOP
TETHER:


- remove and stow the head restraint
before installing the child seat on the
seat (refi t it once the child seat has
been removed),

- raise the carpet cover on the TOP
TETHER,

- pass the upper strap of the child seat
behind the seat backrest, between the
apertures for the head restraint rods,

- fi x the hook of the upper strap to the
ring B
,

- tighten the upper strap.
