ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
The incorrect installation of a child
seat in a vehicle compromises the
child's protection in the event of an ac-
cident.
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 fi rmly
on the seat of your vehicle. If your
passenger seat is adjustable, move it
forwards if necessary.
At rear seating positions, always leave
suffi cient space between the front
seat and:
- a "rearward facing" child seat,
- the child's feet for a child seat fi tted
"forward facing".
To do this, move the front seat for-
wards and, if necessary, move its
backrest into the upright position.
For optimum installation of the "for-
ward facing" child seat, ensure that
the back of the child seat is as close
as possible to the backrest of the ve-
hicle's seat, in contact if possible.
You mst remove the head restraint be-
fore installing a child seat with backrest
to 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. Refi t the head
restraint when the child seat is removed.
Children at the front
The legislation on carrying children on
the front passenger seat is specifi c to
each country. Refer to the legislation in
force in your country.
Children of under 10 years should not
be carried in the "forward facing" posi-
tion on the front passenger seat, unless
the rear seats are already occupied by
children or of the rear seats are unus-
able or not present.
Deactivate the passenger's
when a "rearward facing" child seat is
installed on the front seat. Otherwise
the child would risk being seriously
injured or killed if the airbag were de-
ployed.
CHILD SAFETY
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.
