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:
With the electronic key in the passenger
compartment, pressing the “START/STOP”
button, without pressing any of the pedals,
allows the ignition to be switched on without
starting the engine.
Press this button again to switch off the
ignition and allow the vehicle to be locked...
For safety reasons, seat
adjustments
must only be made when the vehicle is
stationary.
Before moving the seat
backwards,
ensure that there is no person or object
that might prevent the full travel of the seat.
There is a risk of trapping or pinching
passengers if present in the rear seats or of
jamming the seat if large objects are placed
on the floor behind the seat...
