Child safety
ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
Attherear,alwaysleavesufcient
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aswell.
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theseat.
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.
For the installation of a child seat using
the seat belt, ensure that the seat belt
is well tensioned on the child seat
and that it is holding the child seat
rmlyagainstthevehicle'sseat.Ifthe
passengerseatisadjustable,moveit
forwardifnecessary.
Fortheoptimuminstallationofa
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.
Rettheheadrestraintassoonasthe
childseatisremoved.
Children at the front
The legislation on carrying a child on
thefrontpassengerseatisspecicto
eachcountry.Refertothelegislationin
forceinyourcountry.
Deactivate the passenger's 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 seat
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,tted
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,tsideblindstotherear
windows.
For an installation in row 3, put the
backrestsoftheouterandcentre
seats in row 2 in the table position, or
removetheseseatsinrow2,sothat
the child seat or the child's legs do not
touchtheseatsinrow2.
