Instructions for child seats
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 the rear, always leave sufficient space
between the front seat and:
- a rearward facing child seat,
- the feet of a child seated in a forward
facing child seat.
To do this, move the front seat forwards
and, if necessary, move its backrest into the
upright position.
When a child seat is installed in row 3, place
the backrests of the outer seats and the
centre seat of row 2 in the table position, or
remove these row 2 seats so that the child
seat or the child's legs do not touch the row
2 seats.
For optimal installation of the "forward facing"
child seat, check that its backrest is as close
as possible to the backrest of the vehicle
seat, if possible in contact with it.
The head restraint must be removed before
installing a child seat with a backrest on 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 once the child seat
has been removed.
Children in 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
may be seriously injured or killed if the airbag
is deployed.

Installing a booster cushion
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 using a booster seat
with a backrest, equipped with a belt guide at
shoulder level.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- a child or children alone and unattended 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" system.
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.
