behind
the top of the backrest for fixing the upper strap.This
ISOFIX mounting system provides fast, reliable and safe fitting of
the child seat in your vehicle.

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
CHILdREN AT THE FRONTThe incorrect installation of a child seat in a vehicle compromises
the child's protection in the event of an accident.
Ensure 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 relative to the child's body to a minimum, even
for short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat belt, ensure 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. If your passenger
seat is adjustable, move it forwards if necessary

.
At
rear seating positions, always leave sufficient space between
the front seat and:
-


a rearward facing child seat,
-

the child's feet for a child seat fitted forward facing.
To do this, move the front seat forwards and, if necessary, move
its backrest into the upright position.
For optimum installation of the forward facing child seat, ensure
that the back of the child seat is as close as possible to the
backrest of the vehicle's seat , in contact if possible.
You mst remove the head restraint before installing a child seat
with backrest to a passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is stored or attached securely to
prevent it from being thrown around the vehicle in the event of
sharp
braking. Refit the head restraint when the child seat is
removed. The legislation on carrying children on the front passenger seat
is

specific to each country. Refer to the legislation in force in your
country

.
Deactivate the passenger's front airbag when a rearward facing child
seat is installed on the front seat. Otherwise the child would risk
being seriously injured or killed if the airbag were deployed.
INSTALLING A BOOSTER SEA T
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.
PEUGEOT recommends the use of a booster seat which has a back,
fitted
with a seat belt guide at shoulder level.
As a safety measure, do not leave:
-

a child or children alone and unsupervised in a vehicle,
-


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


the keys within reach of children inside the vehicle.
