Seat belts
FRONT SEAT BELTS
The front seats are fitted with pre-tensioners
and force limiters.
Fastening
Pull the strap, then insert the tongue into the
buckle.
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap.
The lap belt must be positioned as low as
possible on the pelvis. The chest belt must
pass over the hollow of the shoulder.
Inertia reel seat belts
These are fitted with a device which locks
automatically in the event of a collision or
emergency braking.
Safety in the event of a front impact has
been improved by the introduction of
pretensioning and force limiting seat belts.
Depending on the seriousness of the
impact, the pretensioning system instantly
tightens the seat belt against the body of the
occupant.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt against the body of the occupant in
the event of an accident.
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.
REAR SEAT BELTS (COMBI)
The 3-seat bench is fitted with three-point
inertia reel seat belts with force limiter.
The centre seat has a seat belt guide and
inertia reel, integrated with the seat back. When a seat belt is not in use, you can
store its buckle in the housing provided
in the bench seat cushion.

SAFETY
Seat belts
Good practice
The driver must ensure that all passengers
fasten their seat belt correctly.
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, ensure that
the seat belt is rolled up correctly in its
compartment and that the buckle is ready to
accommodate the tongue. 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.
The air bag warning light comes
on if the pretensioners are
triggered. Consult a CITROËN
dealer.
Depending on the nature and seriousness of
any impact, the pretensioning device may be
triggered before and independently of infl ation
of the air bags. It instantly tightens the seat
belts against the body of the occupants.
The 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 force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt against the body of the occupants.
The equipment fitted to these seat belts is
operational when the ignition is switched on. 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 CITROËN 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 CITROËN
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 a CITROËN dealer.

Air bags
AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants in the
event of a serious collision; they work in
conjunction with the force limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, the
electronic detectors record and analyse the
front and side impacts suffered in the impact
detection zones:
- in the event of a serious impact, the air bags inflate instantly and protect the
occupants of the vehicle. Immediately
after the impact, the air bags deflate
rapidly, so that they do not hinder the
visibility of the occupants nor their
possible exit from the vehicle. - in the event of a minor or rear impact
and in certain roll-over conditions, the air
bags will not be deployed; the seat belt
alone is sufficient to provide maximum
protection in these situations.
The seriousness of the collision depends on
the nature of the obstacle and the speed of
the vehicle at the moment of impact.
Air bags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
This equipment only operates once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same or
a subsequent accident), the air bag will not
operate.
The triggering of an air bag or air bags
is accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience some irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.
It is imperative that the passenger
air bag is disarmed if a child seat is
installed facing rearwards. Refer to the
"Children on board" section of chapter 5.
