"Rearwards-facing"

"Forwards-facing"

* The rules for carrying children are

specifi c to each country. Refer to the

current legislation in your country.

GENERAL POINTS RELATING
TO CHILD SEATS

Intermediate longitudinal position

CITROËN recommends that children

should travel in the rear seats of your ve-

hicle:
-

"rearwards-facing" up to the age of 2,

-

"forwards-facing" over the age of 2.

When a "rearwards-facing" child

seat is installed on the

front

passenger seat , it is essential

that the passenger airbag is deacti-

vated. Otherwise,

the child would

risk being seriously injured or

killed if the airbag were to infl ate .

CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT

When a "forwards-facing" child seat is

installed on the front passenger seat ,

adjust the vehicle's seat to the interme-

diate longitudinal position with the seat

back upright and leave the passenger

airbag activated.

Although one of CITROËN's main cri-

teria when designing your vehicle, the

safety of your children also depends on

you.

For maximum safety, please observe

the following recommendations:
- in accordance with European reg-

ulations,

all children under the

age of 12 or less than one and a

half metres tall must travel in ap-

proved 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 carrying 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.
