Safety
General points relating to
child seats
* The legislation on carrying children is
specific to each country. Consult the
legislation in force in your country.
Although one of the main criteria of PEUGEOT
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.
PEUGEOT 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.
Child seat at the front
Refer to the current legislation in your country
before installing your child on this seat.
Rearward facing
When a rearward facing child seat is installed
on the front passenger seat, adjust the
vehicle seat to the fully back and highest
position, with the backrest straightened.
The passenger's front airbag must be
deactivated. Otherwise, the child risks
being seriously injured or killed if the
airbag is deployed.
