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 allow the seat belt
straps to fit loosely.
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 deployed before and independently
of inflation of the airbags. It instantly
tightens the seat belts against the body of
the occupants.
Deployment 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.

impact. To ensure the safety of your child, it is
essential to deactivate the passengers
airbag when you install a rear-facing child
seat on the front passenger seat. Otherwise,

impact applied to all or part of the front
impact zone A
in the longitudinal centreline
of the vehicle on a horizontal plane directed
from the front towards the rear of the
vehicle.

occupant of the vehicle and the dashboard
to cushion their forward movement.

and a message in the screen,

SAFETY
4
The child seats function and the
passenger's airbag deativation function
are common to the entire CITROËN range.
If the passenger's airbag is not deactivated,
the installation of a "rearwards-facing" child
seat in the front is strictly prohibited.
Refer to chapter 4, "Airbags" section.
Passenger airbag OFF
Refer to the advice given on the label
present on both sides of the passenger's
sun visor.
To assure the safety of your child, you must deactivate the passenger's front airbag
when you install a child seat in the rearwards facing position on the front passenger's
