Advice
Installing a booster seat
Children at the front
The 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.
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passengerseat.
Otherwise,thechildrisksbeingseriously
injuredorkillediftheairbagisdeployed.
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.
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.
Asasafetyprecaution,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.
Topreventaccidentalopeningofthedoors
andrearwindows,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.
