Child occupant
Based on dummy readings in the dynamic tests, the Citan
scored maximum points for its protection of both the 3 year and the 1? year
dummy. In the frontal test, forward movement of the 3 year old dummy, sat in a
forward facing restraint, was not excessive and, in the side impact, both
dummies were properly contained within the protective shells of their restraints, minimising the likelihood of
head contact with parts of the car interior. The passenger airbag cannot be
disabled, so a rearward-facing child restraint cannot be used in that seating
position. Most of the child restraints for which the car is designed could be
installed without a problem. However, the group II/III seat could not be
properly accommodated and care was needed to ensure the ISOFIX anchorages were properly
engaged with the Britax Römer Duo Plus.
