Citroen C3: Safety / ISOFIX child seats
“ISOFIX" mountings
The seats shown below are fitted with ISOFIX
compliant mountings:
The mountings comprise three rings for each
seat, indicated by a marking:
- Two rings A, located between the vehicle seat
backrest and cushion.
The 2 latches of ISOFIX child seats are secured
to them.
- One ring B, located behind the seat, called
the TOP TETHER, for fixing seats fitted with an
upper strap.
* Depending on country of sale.
This system prevents the child seat from tipping
forward in the event of a front impact.
This ISOFIX mounting system provides fast,
reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in the
vehicle.
To secure the child seat to the TOP TETHER:
- Remove and stow the head restraint before
installing the child seat on this seat (refit it once
the child seat has been removed).
- Route the strap of the child seat behind the
seat backrest, in-between the 2 head restraint
anchor points.
- Secure the upper strap hook to ring B.
- Tighten the upper strap.
When fitting an ISOFIX
child seat to the
left-hand rear seat of the bench seat,
before fitting the seat, first move the centre
rear seat belt towards the middle of the
vehicle, so as to avoid the seat interfering
with the operation of the seat belt.
An incorrectly installed
child seat
compromises the child's safety in the
event of an accident.
Strictly observe the fitting instructions
provided in the user guide supplied with the
child seat.
For information about the
options for
