45SEATS-
   
 
 
 
 
The driver must ensure that 
the passengers use the seat 
belts correctly and that they 
are all properly restrained 
before setting off. 
  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. 
  If the seats have armrests * , the lap 
part of the seat belt must always 
pass under the armrest. 
  The seat belts are fi tted with an in-
ertia reel permitting automatic adjust-
ment of the length of the strap to your 
size. The seat belt is stored automa-
tically when not in use. 
  Before and after use, ensure that the 
seat belt is reeled in correctly. 
  The lower part of the strap must be 
positioned 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, 
on emergency braking or if the vehicle 
rolls over. You can release the device 
by pulling rapidly on the strap and re-
leasing it.  
   In order to be effective, a seat belt: 
   
 
-   must be tightened as close to the 
body as possible, 
   
-   must restrain one adult 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 regularly 
by a CITROËN dealer and particularly 
if the straps show signs of damage. 
  Clean the seat belt straps with soapy 
water or a textile cleaning product, 
sold by CITROËN dealers. 
   
*  
 According to model.      
Recommendations for children: 
   
 
-   use a suitable child seat if the pas-
senger is less than 12 years old or 
shorter than one metre fi fty, 
   
-   do not use the strap-guide *  when 
a child seat is installed. 
   
-   never use the same seat belt to 
secure more than one person, 
   
-   never allow a child to travel on 
your lap.  
   
Depending on the nature and serious-
ness of the impacts 
, the pre-tensioning 
device may be triggered before and in-
dependently of the airbags. Triggering of 
the pre-tensioners is accompanied by a 
slight emission of harmless smoke and 
a noise, due to the activation of the py-
rotechnic cartridge incorporated in the 
system. 
  In all cases, the airbag warning lamp 
comes on. 
  Following an impact, have the seat 
belts system checked, and if neces-
sary replaced, by a CITROËN dealer.  
 
  After folding or moving a 
seat or rear bench seat, 
ensure that the seat belt is 
positioned and rolled up correctly.

 HANDBRAKE
  Illumination of this warning 
light and of the  STOP

ing light, accompanied by 
an audible signal (while the 
vehicle is moving), indicates that the 
handbrake is still applied or has not 
been released fully.  
 
 
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING
SYSTEM (ABS) AND THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCEDISTRIBUTION (EBFD) 
  The ABS, in conjunction with the 
electronic brake force distribution, 
increases the stability and manoeu-
vrability of your vehicle on braking, 
in particular on poor or slippery road 
surfaces. 
   
Note: 
 when changing wheels (tyres 
and rims), make sure that these are 
approved. 
  The anti-lock braking system comes 
into operation automatically when 
there is a risk of wheel lock. 
 
When this warning light comes 
on, connected to the  STOP 
 
and  ABS 
 warning lights, it 
indicates that there is a mal-
function of the electronic brake force 
distribution, which can cause a loss of 
control of the vehicle when braking.
 
   
Stop immediately. 
 
  In both cases, consult a CITROËN 
dealer.   When this warning light 
comes on, accompanied by a 
buzzer, it indicates that there 
is a malfunction of the ABS, 
which can cause a loss of control of 
the vehicle when braking.   Normal operation of the ABS may 
make itself felt by slight vibrations 
of the brake pedal. 
   
In emergency braking, press 
very fi rmly without releasing the 
pressure. 
 
 
 
Releasing 
  Pull the handle and press the button 
to release the handbrake.

Disarming the passenger 
airbag 
   
To ensure the safety of your child, 
it is essential to disarm the pas-
senger airbag when you install a 
rear-facing child seat on the front 
passenger seat. Otherwise, the 
child would risk being killed or se-
riously injured if the airbag were 
to infl ate. 
 
   
 
 ) 
  With the ignition switched off 
, 
insert the key into the passenger 
airbag disarming switch  1 
, turn it 
to the  "OFF" 
 position, then re-
move the key keeping the slot in 
this position.    The airbag warning light on 
the instrument panel is lit 
throughout the period of dis-
arming. 
  In the  "OFF" 
 position, the passen-
ger airbag will not be triggered in the 
event of an impact. 
  As soon as the child seat is removed, 
turn the airbag slot to the  "ON" 
 posi-
tion to re-activate the airbag and thus 
ensure the safety of your passenger 
in the event of an impact.  
 
  This is confi rmed by an indi-
cator light, accompanied by 
a message on the display. 
  With the ignition on 
(2nd notch), illumination of this 
warning light indicates that the pas-
senger airbag is disarmed (switch in 
the  "OFF" 
 position). 
  If the two airbag warning 
lights are lit continuously, do 
not install a rear-facing child 
seat. Consult a CITROËN 
dealer.
