Citroen C3: Safety / Child seats
The regulations on
carrying children are
specific to each country. Refer to the
legislation in force in your country.
For maximum safety, please observe the
following recommendations:
- In accordance with European regulations, all
children under the age of 12 or less than 4
ft 11” (150 cm) tall must travel in approved
child seats suited to their weight, on seats
fitted with a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings.
- Statistically, the safest seats in your 5
vehicle for carrying children are the rear
seats.
- Children weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the "rear facing" position, whether in
the front or rear of the vehicle.
It is recommended
that children travel
on the rear seats of the vehicle:
- ‘rear facing’ up to the age of 3,
- ‘forward facing’ over the age of 3.
Make sure that the seat
belt is correctly
positioned and tightened.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure that
the support leg is in firm and steady contact
with the floor.
General information
System designed to help improve the safety
of the occupants sitting in the front seats and
the rear outer seats, in the event of a violent
collision...
An incorrectly installed
child seat
compromises the child's safety in the
event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle under the child seat, as this could
destabilise it...
Other information:
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids.
This system includes sensors, placed on the
sides of the bumpers, and warns the driver of
the potentially dangerous presence of another
vehicle (car, truck, motorcycle) in the blind spot
areas of their vehicle (areas hidden from the
driver's field of vision)...
Driving with a trailer
places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
Respect the maximum
towable weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by
10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the density
of the air decreases with altitude and the
performance of the engine reduces...
