Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
object...), nor fix or attach anything close to
the inflation trajectory of the airbags; this
could cause injuries during their deployment.
Never modify the original definition of your
vehicle, particularly in the area directly
around the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned
are observed, a risk of injury or of minor
burns to the head, chest or arms when an
airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out. The
bag inflates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then deflates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via openings
provided for this purpose.

Lateral airbags

Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment the lateral
airbags. For information on the range of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, you can
contact a CITROËN dealer.
For more information on accessories, refer
to the corresponding section.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backs (clothing...). This could cause injury
to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is
deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary.

Front airbags

Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its
spokes or resting your hands on the centre
part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags
can cause burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or
hit it violently.
Do not fit or attach anything to the steering
wheel or dashboard, this could cause
injuries with deployment of the airbags.

General points relating to child seats

For maximum safety, please observe the
following recommendations:
- in accordance with European regulations,

all children under the age of 12 or less

than one and a half metres tall must

travel in approved child seats suited to

their weight, on seats fitted with a seat

belt or ISOFIX mountings*,

-

statistically, the safest seats in your

vehicle for carrying children are the

rear seats,

-

a child weighing less than 9 kg must

travel in the rearward facing position

both in the front and in the rear.

CITROËN recommends that children

should travel in the

outer rear seats of

your vehicle:
-

rearward facing up to the age of 3,

-

forward facing over the age of 3.

Although one of CITROËN main criteria when designing your vehicle, the safety of your children
also depends on you.

* The regulations on carrying children are

specific to each country. Refer to the
legislation in force in your country.

on a rear passenger seat, move the vehicle's

front seat forwards and straighten the backrest
so that the rearward facing child seat does not
touch the vehicle's front seat.

When a forward facing child seat is installed

on a rear passenger seat, move the vehicle's

front seat forwards and straighten the backrest
so that the legs of the child in the forward
facing child seat do not touch the vehicle's
front seat.

Child safety

C-elysee_en_Chap08_securite-enfants_ed01-2016

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.

Your vehicle has been approved in accordance
with the

latest ISOFIX regulations.

The seats, represented below, are fitted with
regulation ISOFIX mountings:

"ISOFIX" mountings

- two rings A, located between the vehicle

seat back and cushion, indicated by a
marking,

To secure the child seat to the TOP TETHER:
- pass the child seat strap over the centre of

the vehicle's seat backrest,

- raise the TOP TETHER,
- secure the upper strap fixing to the ring

B,

- tighten the upper strap.

Observe strictly the fitting instructions
provided with the child seat.

For information on the possibilities for fitting
ISOFIX child seats to your vehicle, refer to the
table of seating positions.

- a ring

B, located under a cover on the back

of the top of the seat backrest, referred to as
the

TOP TETHER for fixing the upper strap.

Its position is indicated by a marking.

The ISOFIX mountings are three rings for each seat:

The TOP TETHER is used to secure the upper
strap of child seats that have one. This device
limits forward tipping of the child seat, in the
event of a front impact.

This ISOFIX mounting system ensures fast,
reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in your
vehicle.
The

ISOFIX child seats are fitted with

two latches which are secured easily on the
two rings A.
Some also have an

upper strap (or top tether)

which is attached to ring

B.

When installing an ISOFIX child seat on the
right hand rear seat, before securing the seat,
first move the centre rear seat belt towards the
middle of the vehicle, so as to not interfere with
the operation of the seat belt.

The incorrect installation of a child seat
in a vehicle compromises the child's
protection in the event of an accident.
