General points relating to child seats
Although one of CITROËN's main criteria when designing your vehicle, the safety of your children
also depends on you.
CITROËN recommends
that children
should travel in the rear seats
of your
vehicle:
- "rearwards-facing"
up to the age
of 2,
- "forwards-facing"
over the age of 2. For maximum safety, please obser ve the
following recommendations:
- 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 fitted with a seat
belt or ISOFIX mountings * ,
- statistically, the safest seats in your
vehicle for carr ying 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.
*
The rules for carrying children are specific to
each country. Refer to the current legislation
in your country.

Child seat in the front
"Rearwards-facing"
When a "rear wards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat
, it
is essential that the passenger airbag is
deactivated. Otherwise, the child would
risk being seriously injured or killed if the
airbag were to inflate
.
"Forwards-facing"
When a "for wards-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.
Intermediate longitudinal
position

Passenger airbag OFF
Refer to the advice given on the label present
on both sides of the passenger's sun visor.
To assure the safety of your child, you must deactivate the passenger's front airbag when
you install a child seat in the rear wards facing position on the front passenger's seat.
Other wise, there is a risk that the child could be seriously injured or killed if the airbag were
deployed.
