GENERAL POINTS RELATING TO CHILD SEATS
"Rearwards-facing"
Recommended on the rear seats up to the
age of 2.
When a "rearwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat, it
is essential that the passenger air bag is
disarmed. Otherwise, the child would risk
being seriously injured or killed if the air bag
were to inflate. "Forwards-facing"
Recommended on the rear seats over the
age of 2.
When a "forwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat, leave
the passenger air bag armed.

The rules for transporting children are
specific to each country. Consult the current
legislation in your country.
Please consult the list of seats approved
in your country. The isofix mountings, the
rear seats, the passenger air bag and the
disarming of this air bag depend on the
version sold.
Although one of CITROËN’s main criteria
when designing your vehicle, the safety of
your children also depends on you.
For maximum safety, please follow these
precautions:
- all children under the age of 12 or less
than one metre fifty 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 the transportation 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,
- the passenger must not travel with a child on his lap.
