Child Seats - CITROEN E-MEHARI Handbook

Safety
General points relating to

child seats

Although one of the main criteria of CITROËN
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
an approved child seat suited to their
weight and installed on a vehicle seat fitted
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 rearward facing position
both in the front and in the rear.
CITROËN recommends that children
should travel on the rear seats of your
vehicle:
- "rearward facing" up to the age of 3,
- "forward facing" over the age of 3.
* The legislation on carrying children is
specific to each country. Consult the
legislation in force in your country.

Child seat at the rear
"Rearward facing"
When a "rearward facing" child seat is installed
on a rear passenger seat, move the vehicle's
front seat forward and straighten the backrest
so that the rearward facing child seat does not
touch the vehicle's front seat.

"Forward facing"
When a "forward facing" child seat is installed
on a rear passenger seat, move the vehicle's
front seat forwards and straighten the backrest
so that the legs of the child in the forward
facing child seat do not touch the vehicle's front
seat.
Ensure that the seat belt is correctly
tensioned.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure
that the latter is in firm contact with the
floor. If necessary, adjust the front seat of
the vehicle.
