Child Seats - PEUGEOT RCZ Handbook

CHILD SEATS

GENERAL POINTS RELATING TO CHILD SEATS
Although one of PEUGEOT main criteria 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 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 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.
Child seat at the rear
Only children between 9 and 18 kg can be carried in the rear
seats in a "forwards-facing" universal ISOFIX child seat.
* The rules for carrying children are specifi c to each country. Refer to
the current legislation in your country.
CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT
"Rearwards-facing"
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 injured or killed if
the airbag were to infl ate .
"Forwards-facing"
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.
