Safety
Theincorrectinstallationofachildseatina
vehiclecompromisesthechild'sprotectionin
theeventofanaccident.
Check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 in
relationtothechild'sbodyto a minimum,
evenforshortjourneys.
Fortheinstallationofachildseatusinga
seatbelt,ensurethatthisiswelltensioned
onthechildseatandthatitisholdingthe
childseatfirmlyagainsttheseatofyour
vehicle.Ifyourfrontpassengerseatis
adjustable,moveitforwardifnecessary.
At the rear seats, always leave sufficient
spacebetweenthefrontseatand:
- arearwardfacingchildseat,
- thefeetofachildseatedinaforward
facingchildseat.
Forthis,movethefrontseatforwardandif
necessarystraightenitsbackrest.
Recommendationsonchildseats
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.
CITROËNrecommendstheuseofabooster
seatwhichhasaback,fittedwithaseatbelt
guideatshoulderlevel.
Asasafetyprecaution,neverleave:
- oneormore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.
Topreventaccidentalopeningofthedoors,
usethe"Childlock".
Takecarenottoopentherearwindowsby
morethanonethird.
Toprotectyoungchildrenfromtheraysof
thesun,fitsideblindsontherearwindows.
Thelegislationoncarryingachild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.
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,orincontactifpossible.
Theheadrestraintmustberemovedbefore
installingachildseatwithabackrestonthe
passengerseat.
Ensurethattheheadrestraintisstowedor
attachedsecurelysothatitisnotthrown
aroundthevehicleintheeventofsharp
braking.
Refittheheadrestraintassoonasthechild
seatisremoved.
