Practical information
Mat fitting/removal
When removing the front mat, push the
seats as far back as possible and remove
the fixings.
When refitting, position the mat correctly on
the pins and clip the fixings. Check that the
mat is secured correctly.
Areas for toll cards/car park tickets
The athermic windscreen has two non-
reflective zones located either side of the
base of the interior mirror.
They are intended for affixing toll cards
and/or car park tickets.
SEATING AREA FITTINGS
Depending on the vehicle's equipment, the
various fittings below enhance your seating
area.
12 volt socket
This operates with the ignition off, so limit its
use to avoid discharging the battery.
Maximum power: 120 W.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedals:
- only use mats suited to the fixings
already present in the vehicle. It is
imperative that these fixings are used.
- never fit one mat on top of another.
Grab handle Cup holder
Any liquid carried in an open receptacle
(cup or other) may be spilt, presenting
a risk. "Take care".

Manual rear view mirror
The rear view mirror has two positions:
- day (normal),
- night (anti-dazzle).
To change from one to the other, push or
pull the lever on the lower edge of the mirror.
SURVEILLANCE MIRROR
This mirror, placed on top of the central
mirror, enables the driver or front passenger
to observe all the rear seats.
Fitted on its own ball joint, it's manual
adjustment is simple and provides a view of
the rear interior of the vehicle.
It can also be adjusted for improved visibility
during manoeuvres or when overtaking.
REAR WINDOWS
2nd row side windows
If fitted on your vehicle, the 2nd row side
windows can be opened.
Squeeze the two controls then move the
window sideways. 4 notches are available.
While driving, the window must be closed or
secured on one of the 4 notches.
3rd row rear quarter lights
These are fixed.

Seat belts
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 deployed. Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
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
REAR SEAT BELTS
If your vehicle is fitted with an individual seat
and a 2-seat bench, the 3 seats are fitted
with three-point seat belts and inertia reels.
The centre seat has its seat belt guide and
inertia reel integrated with the seat back. For more information on child seats,
refer to the "Children on board" section
of chapter 4.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, your CITROËN dealer can
guarantee 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 converted or modified.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product, sold
by CITROËN dealers.
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 fulfi l their role completely. If the seats are
fi tted with armrests, the lap part of the seat
belt should always pass under the armrest.
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap firmly.
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.
In rows 2 and 3, take care to fasten the
correct seat belt in the correct buckle. Do
not mix the seat belt or the buckle of the
side seats with the buckle or the seat belt of
the centre seat.

Airbags
The airbags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants (with
the exception of the centre seats of rows 2
and 3) 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's
airbag is deactivated 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.
This equipment only operates once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same or
a subsequent accident), the airbag will not
operate.
The deployment 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.

SAFETY
4
Good practice
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
object...). This could hinder the operation of
the airbags or injure the occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.
All work on the airbag system is strictly
forbidden unless it is carried out by qualified
personnel at a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Lateral airbags
Only put recommended covers on the seats.
These will not hinder inflation of the lateral
airbags. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backs. This could cause injury to the chest
or arms when the lateral airbag inflates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body
any nearer to the door than necessary.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on the
centre part of the wheel.
Do not allow passengers to place their feet
on the dashboard, they risk serious injury if
the airbag is deployed.
Smoke as little as possible as deployment
of the airbags can cause burns or the risk of
injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel
or hit it violently.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are
observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns
to the head, chest or arms when an airbag
is deployed cannot be ruled out. In fact, the
bag inflates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then deflates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via openings
provided for this purpose.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This
could cause injury to the head when the
curtain airbag inflates.
Do not remove the grab handles installed
on the roof, they play a part in securing the
curtain airbags.
