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 au-
tomatic locking device which comes
into operation in the event of a colli-
sion, on emergency braking or if the
vehicle rolls over. You can release
the device by pulling rapidly on the
strap and releasing 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
warn-
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.
Applying
When parking, pull the handbrake to

Front airbag malfunction
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.

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"
