GENERAL POINTS RELATING TO CHILD SEATS
Although one of CITROËN’s main
criteria when designing your vehi-
cle, the safety of your children also
depends on you.
F o r m a x i m u m s a f e t y , p l e a s e f o l l o w
these precautions:
- in accordance with European regulations, all children under
the age of 12 or less than one
and a half metres
tall must
travel in approved child seats
suited to their weight , on seats
fi t t e d w i t h a s e a t b e l t o r I S O F I X
mountings * ,
- statistically, the safest seats in
your vehicle for the transpor-
tation of 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.
CITROËNrecommends that chil-
dren should travel in the rear seats
of your vehicle:
- "rearwards-facing" up to the
age of 2,
- "forwards-facing" over the
age of 2. INSTALLING A CHILD SEAT
USING A THREE POINT SEAT
BELT
"Rearwards-facing"
When a "rearwards-facing" child
seat is installed on the
front pas-
senger seat , it is essential that the
passenger airbag is deactivated.
Otherwise, the child would risk
being seriously injured or killed if
t h e a i r b a g w e r e t o i n fl a t e . "Forwards-facing"
When a "forwards-facing" child seat
is installed on the
front passenger
seat , adjust the vehicle’s seat to the
intermediate longitudinal position
with the seat back upright and leave
the passenger airbag activated.

This ISOFIX mounting system
guarantees you fast, reliable and

vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats a r e fi t t e d
with two locks which are secured
easily on the two rings A or C , fol-
lowing installation of the guides
(supplied with the seat).
Some also have an upper strap
which is attached to the ring B , D
or E .
To attach this strap in the front, raise
the vehicle seat's head restraint
and pass the upper strap between
the rods of the head restraint.
T h e n fi x t h e h o o k o n t h e r i n g B and
tighten the upper strap.
To attach this strap in the rear,
remove the vehicle seat's head
restraint and stow it. Lift the cover
on the rear shelf (Saloon) or the
r o o f ( T o u r e r ) . T h e n fi x t h e h o o k
on the ring D or E and tighten the
upper strap.
The incorrect installation of a child
seat in a vehicle compromises the
child's protection in the event of an
accident.
For information regarding the
ISOFIX child seats which can be
installed in your vehicle, consult
the summary table for the location
of the ISOFIX child seats.
* According to country and current local legislation.
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
b o o s t e r s e a t w h i c h h a s a b a c k , fi t -
ted with a seat belt guide at shoulder
level.
As a safety precaution, do not
leave:
- one or more children alone and unsupervised in a vehicle,
- a child or an animal in a vehicle w h i c h i s e x p o s e d t o t h e s u n , w i t h
the windows closed,
- the keys within reach of children inside the vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the
doors, use the "Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear win-
dows by more than one third.
To protect young children from the
r a y s o f t h e s u n , fi t s i d e b l i n d s o n t h e
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 in relation to the child’s
body to a minimum, even for short
journeys.
For optimum installation of the "for-
wards-facing" child seat, ensure that
the back of the child seat is in con-
tact 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 air bag *
when a "rearwards-facing" child
seat is installed on the front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk be-
ing seriously injured or killed if the
a i r b a g w e r e t o i n fl a t e .

a pretensioning system and force
limiter.
This system improves safety in the
front seats in the event of a front
impact.
Depending on the seriousness of the
impact, the pretensioning system
instantly tightens the seat belt
against the body of the occupant. Fastening
Pull the belt down in front of you
in a steady movement, making
sure that it does not become
twisted.
Press the fastening into its
buckle.
Check that it is properly secured
and that the automatic locking
mechanism operates correctly
by pulling sharply on the belt
strap.
The abdominal part of the strap
should be positioned as low
down as possible in the lap and
as tight as possible.
The chest part should be posi-
tioned if possible in the channel
of the shoulder.
Each belt has a reel that adjusts its
length automatically to the girth of
the seat occupant.
The pretensioning seat belts are
active when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pres-
sure of the seat belt against the
chest of the occupant, so increasing
his protection.
Reactivation
These systems are reactivated au-
tomatically each time the ignition is
switched back on or from 30 mph
(50 km/h).
Press the "ESP OFF" button
again to reactivate them manu-
ally.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by an au-
dible signal and a message
on the multifunction screen,
this indicates a malfunction of these
systems.
