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.
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.
Advice
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.
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,incontactifpossible.
Youmustremovetheheadrestraintbefore
installingachildseatwithbackresttoa
passengerseat.
Ensurethattheheadrestraintisstoredor
attachedsecurelytopreventitfrombeing
thrownaroundthevehicleintheeventof
sharpbraking.Refittheheadrestraintwhen
thechildseatisremoved.
Children at the front
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.
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,fittedwithaseatbelt
guideatshoulderlevel.
