CAB LAYOUT
Front seat storage
There is a storage drawer, located under the
front seat (driver's).
The location under the passenger's seat
is used for storing the tools required when
changing a wheel.
If your vehicle is fitted with a seat with
variable vibration reduction, it does not have
any storage compartments. Folding writing table
This is located in the centre of the fascia
panel.
The clip can be used to secure documents,
slips, ...
Pull or push the top of the table to unfold or
fold it.

Courtesy light
This is a double courtesy light located in
the centre of the roof. It can be activated by
means of:
- the switches located on the courtesy light, with the ignition on - RUNNING
position,
- opening or closing one of the front doors,
- locking/unlocking the vehicle.
It switches off automatically:
- if the switch is not pressed to the right or to the left,
- in all cases after 15 minutes, if the doors remain open or when the ignition is
switched on. Reading lights
These are controlled by the switches.
The driver's switch controls both reading
lights simultaneously.
The passenger switch controls either the

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS - EBFD)
The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake force
distribution) systems improve the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle on
braking, in particular on poor or slippery
surfaces.
The ABS prevents locking of the wheels, the
EBFD provides full control of the braking
pressure wheel by wheel.
EMERGENCY BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables the
optimum braking pressure to be reached more
q u i c k l y , p r e s s t h e p e d a l fi r m l y w i t h o u t r e l e a s i n g i t .
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake
pedal is activated. This alters the resistance
of the brake pedal under your foot.
To prolong the operation of the emergency
braking assistance system: keep your foot
on the brake pedal.
Good practice
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock. It does not reduce the braking
distance.
On very slippery surfaces (ice, oil, etc...)
the ABS may increase the braking distance.
When braking in an emergency, do not
hesitate to press the brake pedal firmly,
without releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able to
continue to manoeuvre the vehicle to avoid
an obstacle.
Normal operation of the ABS may be felt by
slight vibration of the brake pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved.
If this warning light comes on,
it indicates a malfunction of the
ABS which could result in a
loss of control of the vehicle on
braking.
If this warning light comes on,
together with the brake warning
light, it indicates a malfunction of the
electronic brake force distribution
which could result in a loss of
control of the vehicle on braking.
Stop immediately.
In both cases, contact a CITROËN dealer.

SEAT BELTS
CAB SEAT BELTS
The front seats are fitted with pre-tensioners
and force limiters.
REAR SEAT BELTS
The seats/bench seats are fitted with
three-point seat belts and inertia reels.
The centre seat has a seat belt guide and
inertia reel, solid with the seat back.
Height adjustment
Squeeze the control with the return and slide
the assembly on the driver ’s seat side and
on the side passenger seat side.
The height of the seat belt associated with
the centre seat cannot be adjusted. Fastening
Pull the strap in front of you, with an even
movement, ensuring that it does not twist.
Secure the buckle in its housing.
Check that the seat belt is fastened securely
and that the automatic locking system is
operating correctly by pulling the strap
rapidly.
Unfastening
Press the red button on the buckle housing.
As a safety precaution, these
operations should not be carried out
while the vehicle is moving. Driver ’s seat belt not
fastened warning light
When the vehicle is started, this
warning light comes on if the
driver has not fastened his seat
belt.
Seat belts
104

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. Consult a CITROËN
dealer.
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 not fulfil their role completely. If the seats are fitted with armrests, the lap
part 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 CITROËN dealers. 105

IMPROVED SAFETY AND SECURITY
IMPACT RESISTANCE
The RELAY has been designed to limit
the forces on the passenger compartment
as much as possible in the event of a
collision, the engine compartment adopts
a progressive deformation structure and
the front doors have been reinforced to
contribute to the rigidity of the whole.
ANTI-THEFT PROTECTION
The RELAY van comprises two zones with
separate locking: the cab and the load space.
Depending on the way in which it is used,
this function provides increased protection
both for your personal belongings and for
your merchandise.
Details of these functions are given in part 2. An exterior protection alarm with anti-lift
detection is available (as standard or as an
option) in certain countries.
