 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
