CHILD SAFETY

PEUGEOT recommends
that
children should travel in the
outer
rear seats
of your ve-
hicle:


-
"rearwards-facing"
up to the age of 2,


- "forwards-facing"
over the age of 2.












GENERAL POINTS RELATING
TO CHILD SEATS

*
The rules for carrying children are
specifi c to each country. Refer to the
legislation in force in your country. Although one of PEUGEOT's main cri-
teria when designing your vehicle, the
safety of your children also depends on
you.
For maximum safety, please observe
the following recommendations:


- in accordance with European reg-
ulations, all children under the
age of 12 or less than one and a
half metres tall must travel in ap-
proved child seats suited to their
weight
, on seats fi tted with a seat
belt or ISOFIX mountings * ,

- statistically, the safest seats in
your 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.

11 4
CHILD SAFETY

"Forwards-facing"
When a "forwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat
,
adjust the vehicle's seat to the fully back
and highest position with the seat back
upright and leave the passenger's air-
bag activated.

Ensure that the seat belt is
correctly tensioned.

Passenger seat in the fully back and
highest position.



"Rearwards-facing"
When a "rearwards-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 infl ate
.

CHILD SAFETY


Passenger airbag OFF

For more information on de-
activating the airbag, refer
to the "Safety" section then
"Airbags".
Refer to the advice given on the label
present on both sides of the passen-
ger'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 rearwards facing position
on the front passenger's seat.
Otherwise, there is a risk that the child could be seriously injured or killed
if the airbag were deployed.

11 7
CHILD SAFETY
INSTALLING CHILD SEATS WITH A STAY

Precautions must be taken when installing a child seat with a stay (or drop down leg). In particular, take care when there is a
storage compartment present in the rear footwells.
Do not place the stay on the
storage compartment cover,
it could break in a serious im-
pact. Where the range of adjustment
for the stay allows, we suggest two
other possibilities for installation.

At the bottom of the storage
compartment
If the stay is long enough, you can place
it in contact with the bottom of the stor-
age compartment. Remove all objects
before installing the stay.


Outside the storage
compartment area
One other possibility, where the stay is
long enough and can be inclined suffi -
ciently (while observing the recommen-
dations in the fi tting instructions for the
child seat), is to position the stay so that
it is in contact with the fl oor away from
the storage compartment. Remember
to use the adjustment of the seat posi-
tion to obtain a satisfactory position for
the stay which is away from the storage
compartment.

If you cannot fi t the stay in
the way described, we recom-
mend that you do not fi t a child
seat with a stay in this position.
