up to the age of 3,-"forward-facing"
over the age of 3.

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
trave
l in approved child seats suited to
their weight , on seats fitted with a seat
belt or ISOFIX mountings * ,

vehicle for carrying 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 legislation in force
in
your country.

Advice on child seats


The incorrect installation of a child seat in a vehicle compromises the child's protectionin the event of an accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the child seat harness keeping the slackin relation to the child's body to a minimum , even for shor t journeys.
To install a child seat using the vehicle'sseat belt, ensure that the belt is welltightened on the child seat and that it holdsthe child seat firmly against the vehicle's seat. If your passenger seat is adjustable,move it forward if necessary.
For optimum installation of the "for ward facing" child seat, ensure that the back of the child seat is as close as possible tothe back of the vehicle's seat, in contact if possible.


Children at the front
The legislation on carrying a child on the front passenger seat is specific to each country.
Refer to the current legislation in your country.
Deactivate the passenger airbag when a "rearward facing" child seat is installed on the front seat. Otherwise the child risksbeing seriously injured or killed if the airbag is deployed.


Installation of a booster cushion

The chest par t 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 abooster seat which has a back, fitted with a seat belt guide at shoulder level.


As a safety precaution, do not leave:


- one or more children alone and unsuper vised in a vehicle,

- a child or an animal in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun, with the windowsclosed,

- keys within the reach of children insidethe vehicle. Use the "child lock" to prevent anyaccidental opening of the rear doors or windows.
Avoid opening the rear windows by more than a third.

To protect young children from the rays of the sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.

You must remove the head restraint beforefitting a child seat on a passenger seat.Ensure that the head restraint is stowed or attached securely to prevent it from being thrown around the vehicle in the event of sharp braking. Refit the head restraint oncethe child seat has been removed
