Your vehicle has been approved in accordance
with the new
ISOFIX regulation
.
The seats, represented below, are fitted with
regulation ISOFIX mountings:
"ISOFIX" mountings
There are three rings for each seat:
- two rings A
, located between the vehicle
seat back and cushion, indicated by a label,
- a ring B
, behind the seat, referred to as the
TOP TETHER
for fixing the upper strap. This ISOFIX mounting system provides fast,
reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in your
vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats
are fitted with
two latches which are secured on the
two rings A
.
When fitting an ISOFIX child seat to the right
hand rear seat, before fixing the seat in place,
first move the centre rear seat belt towards the
middle of the vehicle so as to not inter fere with
the operation of the seat belt.
Some seats also have an upper strap
which is
attached to ring B
.
To attach this strap, raise the vehicle seat's
head restraint then pass the hook between its
rods. Then fix the hook on ring B
and tighten
the upper strap.
The incorrect installation of a child seat
in a vehicle compromises the child's
protection in the event of an accident.
For information regarding the ISOFIX child
seats which can be installed in your vehicle,
refer to the table showing the locations for
installing ISOFIX child seats.

147Safety
The driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
restrained securely before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as
they will not fulfil their role fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an iner tia reel
permitting automatic adjustment of the length
of the strap to your size. The seat belt is
stowed automatically 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 par t must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
The iner tia reels are fitted with an automatic
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 pulling firmly on the strap and
releasing it so that it reels in slightly. In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
- be tightened as close to the body as
possible,
- be pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it does not
twist,
- be used to restrain only one person,
- not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
- not be conver ted or modified to avoid
affecting its per formance.
In accordance with current safety regulations,
for all repairs on your vehicle, go to a
qualified workshop with the skills and
equipment needed, which a CITROËN dealer
is able to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop,
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 reeled in correctly.
Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is
less than 12 years old or shor ter than one
and a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure
more than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your lap.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and seriousness
of the impact
, the pretensioning device may
be deployed before and independently of the
airbags. Deployment of the pretensioners is
accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic car tridge
incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat belts
system checked, and if necessary replaced,
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
