GENERAL POINTS RELATING
TO CHILD SEATS
Although one of CITROËN's main
criteria when designing your vehicle,
the safety of your children also
depends on you.
For maximum safety, please follow
these precautions:
- in accordance with European regu-
lations, all children under the age
of 12 or less than one metre fi fty
tall must travel in approved 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 the transpor-
tation of 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.
CITROËN recommends that chil-
dren should travel in the rear seats
of your vehicle:
- "rearwards-facing" up to the
age of 2,
- "forwards-facing" over the
age of 2.
INSTALLING A CHILD SEAT USING
A THREE POINT SEAT BELT
"Rearwards-facing"
When a "rearwards-facing" child seat
is installed on the front passenger
seat , it is essential that the passen-
ger air bag is disarmed. Otherwise,
the child would risk being seri-
ously injured or killed if the air
bag were to infl ate.
"Forwards-facing"
When a "forwards-facing" child seat
is installed on the front passenger
seat , adjust the vehicle's seat to the
intermediate longitudinal position
with the seat back upright and leave
the passenger air bag armed.
