Seat belts
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt against the body of the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is switched on.
The inertia reels are fitted with a device
which automatically locks the strap in the
event of a collision or emergency braking or
if the vehicle rolls over.
You can unfasten the seat belt by pressing
the red button on the buckle. Guide the seat
belt after unfastening.
CORRECT USE OF THE SEAT BELTS
The driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
strapped in securely before moving off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
which automatically adjusts the length of the
strap to your size. The seat belt is rolled up
automatically when not in use.
Ensure that the seat belt is rolled up
correctly after use.
After folding or moving a seat or a rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is
rolled up correctly and that the buckle is
ready to accommodate the tongue.
Depending on the nature and seriousness
of any impact, the pretensioning device may
be triggered before and independently of
inflation of the air bags. It instantly tightens
the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
Triggering of the pretensioners is
accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system. The air bag warning light comes
on if the pretensioners are
triggered.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
- restrain one person only,
- must not be twisted, check by pulling in front of you with an even movement,
- be tightened as close to the body as possible.
The upper part of the seat belt should be
positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.
The lap part should be placed as low as
possible on the pelvis.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles as they will
n o t f u l fi l t h e i r r o l e c o m p l e t e l y . I f t h e s e a t s a r e fi t t e d w i t h a r m r e s t s , t h e l a p p a r t
of the seat belt should always pass under the
armrest.
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap firmly.
Recommendations for children:
- use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years old or
shorter than one metre fifty,
- never allow a child to travel on your lap, even with the seat belt fastened.
For further information regarding child
seats, refer to the "Children on board"
section of chapter 5.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, your dealer guarantees all work
or any checks, from testing to maintenance,
on your seat belt equipment.
Have the seat belts checked regularly (even
after a minor impact) by a dealer: they
must not show any signs of wear, cutting or
fraying and they must not be transformed or
modified.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product, sold
by dealers CITROËN .

be fully effective, observe the following
safety rules:
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.

Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the air bags (child, animal,
object...).
This could hamper the operation of the air
bags or injure the occupants.

prohibited unless it is carried out by qualified
personnel of the CITROËN network.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the air bag
systems checked. Front air bags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on the

CHILD SAFETY
GENERAL POINTS RELATING TO CHILD SEATS
Although one of CITROËN 's main criteria
when designing your vehicle, the safety of
your children also depends on you.
For maximum safety, please follow these
precautions:
- in accordance with Directive 2003/20, all
children under the age of 12 or less
than one metre fifty 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
vehicle for the transportation of
children are the rear seats,
- a child weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the "rearwards-facing"
position in the front.
CITROËN
recommends that children should
travel in the rear seats of your vehicle:
- "rearwards-facing"
up to the age of 2 ,
- "forwards-facing" from
the age of 2.
Chapter 4, "MODE"
INSTALLING A CHILD SEAT USING A THREE POINT SEAT
BELT
"Rearwards-facing"
Do not forget to disarm the air
bag before installing the child.
When a "rearwards-facing" child
seat is installed on the front passenger
seat , it is essential that the passenger
air bag is disarmed. Otherwise, the child
would risk being seriously injured or
killed if the air bag were to inflate . "Forwards-facing"
When a "forwards-facing" child
seat is installed on the
front
passenger seat , leave the
passenger air bag armed.
The rules for transporting children are
specific to each country. Consult the current
legislation in your country.
Please consult the list of seats approved
in your country. The Isofix mountings, the
rear seats, the passenger air bag and the
disarming of this air bag depend on the
version sold.
