SAFETY
SEAT BELTS

Front seat belts

The front seat belts are fi tted with a
pretensioning system and force limiter.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a front impact.
Depending on the seriousness of the
impact, the pretensioning system in-
stantly tightens the seat belt against
the body of the occupant.
Fastening


)
Pull the belt down in front of you
in a steady movement, making
sure that it does not become
twisted.

)

Press the fastening into its buckle.

)
Check that it is properly secured
and that the automatic locking
mechanism operates correctly
by pulling sharply on the belt
strap.

)
The lap strap should be posi-
tioned as low down as possible in
the lap and as tight as possible.

)
The diagonal strap should be
positioned across the chest and
away from the neck.
Each belt has a reel that adjusts its
length automatically to the girth of
the seat occupant.

Height adjustment
The pretensioning seat belts are
active when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pres-
sure of the seat belt against the
chest of the occupant, so increasing
his protection.

When correctly adjusted, the seat
belt shoulder strap falls over the
middle of the shoulder.


)
To adjust the belt, squeeze the
control and slide it in the direc-
tion required.



Unfastening


)
To unfasten the belt, press on
the red button in the buckle.
The belt retracts automatically when
not in use.

The pneumatic rear suspension en-
hances driving comfort by maintain-
ing a constant body height whatever
the vehicle load.

Operation



- If there is an increase in vehicle
load, a sinking of the rear of
the vehicle is detected and the
pneumatic springs infl ate in or-
der to compensate for the extra
weight.

- If there is a decrease in load, a
rising of the rear of the vehicle is
detected and so the pneumatic
springs defl ate to return the ve-
hicle to its nominal height.

- If the vehicle has been unused
for a long period, the pneumatic
springs may infl ate if necessary
when you unlock or open a door,
so as to return the vehicle to its
nominal height.
If you do not reactivate the system
manually, automatic height correc-
tion will be activated as soon as the
vehicle starts to move. During height
correction, the service warning lamp
comes on and a message on the

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
ROOF BARS

For your safety and to avoid damage
to the roof and tailgate, the design of
your vehicle requires the use of roof
bars and roof boxes that are tested
and approved by CITROËN.
Regardless of the type of load car-
rier to be mounted on the roof (roof
box, bicycle carrier, ski carrier...),
you must fi t transverse roof bars.


Recommendations



)
Distribute the load evenly, avoid-
ing overloading on one side.

)
Arrange the heaviest part of the
load as close as possible to the
roof.

)
Anchor the load securely and fi t
a warning fl ag part of it is over-
hanging.

)
Drive gently, as the vehicle will
be more liable to the effects of
side winds (vehicle stability may
be altered).

)
Remove the roof bars as soon
as they are no longer needed.



Bicycle carrier

Do not attach a strap-fi tting bicycle
carrier to the following vehicle ver-
sions:


- C4 Picasso 5-seater (all versions);

- C4 Picasso 7-seater version with
opening rear screen.

Maximum load, distributed
over the roof bars (for a
loading height not exceed-
ing 40 cm, except bicycle carrier):
80 kg.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt
your speed to the profi le of the road
to avoid damaging the roof bars
and the fi xings on the roof.
Please refer to national legislation
in order to comply with the regula-
tions concerning the transport of
objects which are longer than the
vehicle.

* According to country.
VERY COLD CLIMATE
SCREEN *

Removable protective screen which
prevents the accumulation of snow
at the radiator cooling fan.

Fitting



)
Offer up the very cold climate
screen to the front of the lower
section of the front bumper.

)
Press around its edge to engage
its fi xing clips one by one.



Removal



)
Use a screwdriver as a lever to
release each fi xing clip in turn.
Do not forget to remove the very
cold climate screen:


- when the ambient temperature
exceeds 10 °C,

- when towing,

-
at speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h).
