ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
Installing a booster seat
Children at the frontThe 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
installin
g
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
forwards if necessary.
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
airbag
when
a
"rearward-facing"
child
seat
is
installed on the front seat.
Otherwise,
the
child
would
risk
being
seriously
injured
or
kille
d
if
the
airbag
were
to inflate.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,
fit
-
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
sufficient
space
between
the
front
seat and:
-
a
"rearward facing" child seat,
-
the
child's
feet
for
a
child
seat
fit
-
ted
"forward 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,
fit
side
blinds
on
the
rear
windows.
