CHILD SAFETY
132
For optimum installation of the "for-
ward-facing" child seat, ensure that
the back of the child seat is as close
as possible to the backrest of the ve-
hicle's seat, in contact if possible.
You mst 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 pre-
vent it from being thrown around the
vehicle in the event of sharp brak-
ing. Refi t the head restraint when the
child seat is removed.
ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
Installing a booster seat
Children at the front
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 fi rm-
ly on the seat of your vehicle. If your
passenger seat is adjustable, move it
forwards if necessary.
The legislation on carrying children on
the front passenger seat is specifi c to
each country. Refer to the legislation
in force in your country.
Deactivate the passenger airbag
when a "rearward-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.
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.
At rear seating positions, always
leave suffi cient space between the
front seat and:
- a "rearwards facing" child seat,
- the child's feet for a child seat fi t-
ted "forwards facing".
To do this, move the front seat for-
wards and, if necessary, move its
backrest into the upright position. 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.

SAFETY

Deactivation
Only the passenger's front airbag can
be deactivated:
insert the key in the passenger air-
bag deactivation switch,
turn it to the "OFF"
position,
then, remove the key keeping the
switch in the new position.
According to version, this warn-
ing lamp comes on in the in-
strument panel and/or in the
seat belt and passenger's front
airbag warning lamps display when the
ignition is on and until the airbag is re-
activated. To assure the safety of your
child, the passenger's front air-
bag must be deactivated when
you install a "rear facing" child
seat on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk
being seriously injured or killed if
the airbag were deployed.
Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, turn
the switch to the "ON"
position to re-
activate the airbag and so assure the
safety of your front passenger in the
event of an impact.
With the ignition on, this warn-
ing lamp comes on in the seat
belt and passenger's front air-
bag warning lamps display for
approximately one minute, if the pas-
senger's front airbag is activated.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel, con-
tact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop to have the
system checked. The airbags may no
longer be deployed in the event of a se-
rious impact.
