Practical information
CREW CAB
Bench seat
The crew cab consists of a 3-seat bench,
located in row 2, the one-piece back of
which is fixed to the "load retainer" grille.
Access to the rear seats is via the sliding
side door.
Head rests and seat belts
Each seat has a head rest adjustable for
height and angle.
The three seats are equipped with inertia
reel seat belts. The seat belts are integral
with the backrest of the bench seat.
Ensure that the seat belt is attached to the
correct buckle.
For more information on the use of this
equipment, refer to "Seat belts" in section 4.
Good practice
The rear seat belt stalks are not designed for securing the load transported. Use the stowing rings on the floor only.
The bench seat of the crew cab is not suitable for the installation of a child seat.
Rear side glasses
If fitted to your vehicle, the side glasses can
be opened.
Squeeze the two controls together then slide
the window. There are 4 position notches.
When driving, the glass should be closed or
secured at one of the 4 notches.

Seat belts
Height adjustment
Squeeze the control with the return and slide
the assembly on the driver's seat side and
on the individual passenger seat side.
If your vehicle is fitted with a front bench,
the height of the seat belt associated with
the centre seat cannot be adjusted.
Unfastening
Press the red button.
SEAT BELTS
Good practice
The driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
strapped in securely before moving off.
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.
Do not use accessories (clothes pegs, clips,
safety pins, etc.) which permit a clearance
with the seat belt straps.
Ensure that the seat belt has reeled in
correctly after use.
After folding or moving a seat or a rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt has
reeled in correctly and that the buckle is
ready to accommodate the tongue.
Depending on the nature and seriousness
of any impact, the pretensioning device may
be triggered before and independently of
inflation of the airbags. It instantly tightens
the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
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.
Fastening
Pull the strap, then insert the tongue into the
buckle.
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap.

If your vehicle is fitted with a front

is started, this warning light
comes on if the passenger has not
fastened his seat belt.

Seat belts
SAFETY
4
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt against the body of the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is switched on.
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.
You can unfasten the seat belt by pressing
the red button on the buckle. Guide the seat
belt after unfastening.
The airbag warning lamp comes on if the
pretensioners are triggered.
Contact a CITROËN or a qualified workshop.
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
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.
FRONT SEAT BELTS
For further information regarding child
seats, refer to the "Children on board"
section of chapter 4.
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
or a qualified workshop: 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 CITROËN dealers.
With front airbags
The front seats are fitted with pretensioners
and force limiters.
Without front airbag
If your vehicle is fitted with a front bench
without front airbag, the centre passenger's
seat belt does not have a pretensioner.
With bench seat
If your vehicle is fitted with a front bench
seat, take care to fasten the correct seat belt
using the correct buckle. Do not invert the
driver's seat belt or buckle with the buckle or
seat belt of the centre seat. part of the seat belt should always pass
under the armrest.
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap firmly.

Airbags
SAFETY
4
The airbags 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
airbags inflate instantly and protect the
occupants of the vehicle. Immediately
after the impact, the airbags 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 airbags 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.
It is imperative that the passenger
airbag is disarmed if a child seat is
installed facing rearwards. Refer to the
"Children on board" section of chapter 4.
Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
AIRBAGS
This equipment only operates once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same or
a subsequent accident), the airbag will not
operate.
The triggering of an airbag or airbags
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.
