Child restraint systems

Child safety is a top priority in the Citroën C6. The vehicle offers extensive options for securely installing child seats, both with the seat belt and with the ISOFIX system. Detailed tables provide information on suitable seating positions and weight classes. The clear instructions on deactivating the front passenger airbag underline the importance of choosing the right seating position for children. Особенно notable is the integration of ISOFIX anchorages on the rear seats, including the TOP TETHER, which make installation more stable and secure. A suitable solution is offered for every type of child seat, a strong argument for families.

ISOFIX anchorages and ISOFIX attachment system

Your vehicle is approved in accordance with the new ISOFIX regulation.

The outer rear seats are equipped with ISOFIX anchorages that comply with regulations.

Incorrect installation of a child seat can compromise the child's protection in an accident.

The ISOFIX system reduces the risk of incorrect installation.

The ISOFIX system ensures a secure, stable and quick installation of a child seat in the vehicle.

ISOFIX attachment system

The ISOFIX system is fitted to each outer rear seat with 3 anchorage points:

• Two lower anchorage rings a and b, located between the backrest and the seat cushion of the vehicle. They are approx. 28 cm apart and are covered on the rear bench seat by a flap marked with the ISOFIX logo.
• An upper anchorage ring c on the rear parcel shelf is covered by the flap marked with the TOP TETHER logo behind the head restraint.

ISOFIX child seat attachment system

ISOFIX child seats are equipped with two latches that can be easily connected to the two lower rings a and b.

Some ISOFIX child seats are also equipped with an upper strap that connects to the upper ISOFIX ring c.

To attach the upper strap, raise the seat's head restraint and pass the hook between the two posts. Then attach the hook to the upper ring c and tighten the upper strap.

This attachment system is intended for children weighing up to 18 kg.

The ISOFIX child seats suitable for your vehicle are listed in the table opposite.

For universal and semi-universal ISOFIX child seats, the ISOFIX size class, identified by a letter between A and G, is shown on the child seat to the right of the ISOFIX logo.

If an ISOFIX child seat is installed on a Pack Lounge seat, the backrest of this Pack Lounge seat must be returned fully upright.
