Wherever you are seated in the ve-
hicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even for short journeys.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles as
they will not fulfi l their role fully.
The seat belts are fi tted with an inertia
reel permitting automatic adjustment of
the length of the strap to your size. The
seat belt is stored automatically when not
in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat
belt is rolled up correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be posi-
tioned as low as possible on the pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fi tted with an auto-
matic locking device which comes into
operation in the event of a collision,
emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls
over. You can release the device by pull-
ing rapidly on the strap and releasing it. Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years old
or shorter than one metre fi fty.
Never use the same seat belt to
secure more than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your
lap.
In order to be effective, a seat belt:
- must be tightened as close to the
body as possible,
- must restrain one person of adult size only,
- must not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
- must be pulled in front of you with a smooth movement, checking
that it does not twist,
- must not be transformed or modifi ed to avoid altering its
performance.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, all repairs and checks
must be carried out by a CITROËN
dealer who guarantees that the work
is carried out correctly.
Have your seat belts checked regu-
larly by a CITROËN dealer and par-
ticularly if the straps show signs of
damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product,
sold by CITROËN dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt
is positioned and rolled up correctly.
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impacts , the pre-
tensioning device may be triggered
before and independently of the air
bags. Triggering of the pre-tensioners
is accompanied by a slight discharge
of harmless smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the air bag warning light
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat
belts system checked, and if neces-
sary replaced, by a CITROËN dealer.

If the air bag warning light and the
display come on continuously,
do not install a “rear facing” child
seat on the front passenger seat.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Operating fault
If this warning light comes on on the
instrument panel and this display
appears on the instrument panel
display, contact a CITROËN dealer to
have the system checked. The air bags
may no longer be triggered in the event
of a serious impact.
To guarantee the safety of your
child, it is imperative that the
passenger air bag is disarmed
when you install a “rear facing” child
seat on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the air
bag were triggered.
This warning light comes on on the cen-
tre console front panel when the ignition
is on and until the air bag is re-armed. Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, turn
switch
A to the “ ON” position to re-arm
the air bag and so guarantee the safety
of your front passenger in the event of
an impact.
The associated warning light switches
off.
Deactivation
Only the front passenger’s air bag can
be disarmed:


with the ignition off , insert the key
in the passenger air bag disarming
switch
A ,

 turn it to the “OFF” position,

 remove the key.

Front air bags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on
the centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the fascia.
Smoke as little as possible as deployment of the air bags can ca use burns or
the risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.
Side air bags
Put approved covers only on the seats. These will not hinder i nfl ation of the
side air bags. Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Do not fi x or glue anything to the seat backs. This could ca use injury to the
chest or arms if the side air bag is triggered.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than neces-
sary.
For the air bags to be fully
effective, observe the
following safety rules:
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the air bags (a child,
pet, object...). This could hamper the
operation of the air bags or injure the
occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
air bag systems checked.
All work on the air bag system is strict-
ly forbidden unless it is carried out by
qualifi ed personnel of the CITROËN
network.
Even if all of the precautions men-
tioned are observed, a risk of injury
or of minor burns to the head, chest
or arms when an air bag is triggered
cannot be ruled out. In fact, the bag
infl ates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then defl ates within the
same time discharging the hot gas via
openings provided for this purpose.

Curtain air bags
Do not fi x or glue anything to the roof. This could cause injury to the head if the
curtain air bag is triggered.
Do not remove the grab handles installed on the roof, the y play a part in secur-
ing the curtain air bags.
