CHILD SAFETY
PEUGEOT recommends
that chil-
dren should travel in the
rear seats
of your vehicle:
-
"rearwards-facing"
up to the
age of 2,
-
"forwards-facing"
over the
age of 2.
TO CHILD SEATS
CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT
"Forwards-facing"
When a "forwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the
front passenger seat
,
adjust the vehicle's seat to the interme-
diate longitudinal position with the seat
back upright and leave the passenger
airbag activated.
"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
.
* The rules for carrying children are
specifi c to each country. Refer to the
current legislation in your country.
Although one of PEUGEOT's main cri-
teria 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.
