Advice on child seats
Children at the front
The legislation on carrying a child on the
front passenger seat is specific to each
c o unt r y.
Refer to the legislation in force in your
c o unt r y.
Deactivate the passenger's airbag when a
rear ward facing child seat is installed on the
front seat.
Other wise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag were
deployed.
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:
-
o
ne or more 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,
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.
Check 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 in
relation to the child's body to a minimum,
even for short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat
belt, check 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.
at t

he rear seats, always leave sufficient
space between the front seat and:
-

a r

ear ward facing child seat,
-

t

he feet of a child seated in a for ward
facing child seat.
For this, move the front seat for ward and if
necessary straighten its backrest. For optimum installation of a for ward facing
child seat, ensure that the back of the child
seat is as close as possible to the backrest
of the vehicle's seat, or in contact if possible.
The head restraint must be removed before
installing a child seat with a backrest on
the passenger seat. Ensure that the head
restraint is stowed or attached securely so
that it is not thrown around the vehicle in the
event of sharp braking.
Refit the head restraint as soon as the child
seat is removed.

Some also have an upper strap which is
attached to the ring B or C .
To attach the child seat to the TOP TETHER:
-

r
emove and stow the head restraint before
installing a child seat on this seat (refit it
once the child seat has been removed),
-

p
ass the strap of the child seat centrally
between the head restraint rod apertures,
-

r

the rear shelf (Saloon) or the roof (Tourer),
-

s
ecure the upper strap fixing to the ring B
or C ,
-

t
ighten the upper strap.
The TOP TETHER is used to secure the
upper strap of child seats that have one. This
arrangement limits the for ward tipping of the
child seat in the event of a front impact.
For information on the possibilities for installing
ISOFIX child seats in your vehicle, refer to the
summary table.The incorrect installation of a child seat
in a vehicle compromises the child's
protection in the event of an accident.
Observe strictly the fitting instructions
provided with the child seat.
This ISOFIX mounting system provides fast,
reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in
your

vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats are fitted with two
latches which are secured easily on the two
rings A, following installation of the guides
(supplied with the seat).
