Child seats
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.
Recommendations
For this, move the front seat forward and if
necessarystraightenitsbackrest.
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.
Installing a booster
cushion
Asasafetyprecaution,donot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 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.
Thelegislationoncarryingachildonthe
frontpassengerseatisspecifictoeach
country.Refertothelegislationinforcein
thecountryinwhichyouaredriving.
Deactivatethepassenger'sfrontairbag
whenarearwardfacingchildseatisinstalled
onthefrontpassengerseat.Otherwise,the
childwouldriskbeingseriouslyinjuredor
killediftheairbagweredeployed.
