"Isofix" Mountings - CITROËN C4 CACTUS Owner's Handbook Manual

"ISOFIX" mountings

Your vehicle has been approved in accordance
with the latest ISOFIX regulation.
The seats, represented below, are fitted with
regulation ISOFIX mountings:
There are three rings for each seat:
- two rings A, located between the vehicle
seat back and cushion, indicated by a
marking,
- a ring B behind the seat for fixing the upper
strap, referred to as the TOP TETHER.
The TOP TETHER is used to secure the
upper strap of child seats that have one. This
arrangement limits the forward tipping of the
child seat in the event of a front impact.
This ISOFIX mounting system provides fast,
reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in your
vehicle.
When fitting an ISOFIX child seat to the left
hand rear seat, before fitting the seat, first
move the centre rear seat belt towards the
middle of the vehicle, so as to avoid the seat
interfering with the operation of the seat belt.
The ISOFIX child seats are fitted with two
latches which are secured on the two rings A.
Some seats also have an upper strap, known
as the TOP TETHER, which is attached to
ring B.
To secure the child seat to the top tether:
- remove and stow the head restraint before
installing the child seat in this seating
position (refit it once the child seat has
been removed),
- pass the strap of the child seat over the top
of the seat backrest, centred between the
apertures for the head restraint rods,
- fix the hook of the upper strap to the ring B,
- tighten the upper strap.
The incorrect installation of a child seat
in a vehicle compromises the child's
protection in the event of an accident.
Follow the instructions for fitting
child seats contained in the seat
manufacturer's installation guide.
For information on the possibilities for
installing ISOFIX child seats in your
vehicle, refer to the summary table.
