REAR VIEW MIRROR

Automatic day/night rear view

(headlamps of following vehicles, sun-

light) decreases, ensuring maximum

visibility.

Objects observed in the driver

and passenger mirrors are, in re-

ality, closer than they appear.

CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT

GENERAL POINTS RELATING
TO CHILD SEATS

* The rules for carrying children are

specifi c to each country. Refer to the

current legislation in your country.

When a "rearwards-facing"

child seat is installed on the
front passenger seat , it is

essential that the passenger

airbag is deactivated. Otherwise, the

child would risk being seriously in-
jured or killed if the airbag were to

infl ate .

"Rearwards-facing"

Although one of PEUGEOT's main cri-

teria when designing your vehicle, the

safety of your children also depends

on you.

For maximum safety, please

observe the following recom-
mendations:

- 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
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 carrying chil-
dren 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.

PEUGEOT 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.

Intermediate longitudinal

position

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 airbag activated.

"Forwards-facing"

This child seat can also be used on seats which are not fi tted with ISOFIX mountings. In this case, it is essential that

it is secured to the vehicle's seat by means of the three point seat belt.

ADVICE ON CHILD
SEATS

Children under the age of 10 must not

travel in the "forwards-facing" position

on the front passenger seat, unless

the rear seats are already occupied by

other children, cannot be used or are

absent.

Deactivate the passenger airbag when

a "rearwards-facing" child seat is in-

stalled on the front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being

seriously injured or killed if the airbag

were to infl ate.

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.
PEUGEOT recommends the use of

a booster seat which has a back, fi t-

ted with a seat belt guide at shoulder

level.

As a safety precaution, do not leave:
-

a child or children alone and unsu-

pervised 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 win-

dows by more than one third.

To protect young children from the

rays of the sun, fi t side blinds on the

rear windows.

The incorrect installation of a child seat

in a vehicle compromises the child's

protection in the event of an accident.

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 fi rmly

on the seat of your vehicle.

For optimum installation of the "for-

wards-facing" child seat, ensure that

the back of the child seat is in contact

with the back of the vehicle's seat and

that the head restraint does not cause

any discomfort.
If the head restraint has to be removed,
ensure that it is stored or attached se-

curely to prevent it from being thrown

around the vehicle in the event of sharp

braking.
