2013.5 Citroen DS4 RHD child seat

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 inertia 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 part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia 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 converted 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,
particularly 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 shorter 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 cartridge
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.

187Safety

Deactivation

Only the passenger's front airbag can be
deactivated:



insert the key in the passenger airbag
deactivation switch,


turn it to the "OFF"
position,


then, remove the key keeping the switch in
the new position.
According to version, this warning
lamp comes on in the instrument
panel and/or in the seat belt and
passenger's front airbag warning lamps display
when the ignition is on and until the airbag is
reactivated. To assure the safety of your child,
the passenger's front airbag must
be deactivated when you install a
"rear facing" child seat on the front
passenger seat.
Other wise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were deployed.


Reactivation

When you remove the child seat, turn the
switch to the "ON"
position to reactivate the
airbag and so assure the safety of your front
passenger in the event of an impact.

With the ignition on, this warning
lamp comes on in the seat belt and
passenger's front airbag warning
lamps display for approximately one
minute, if the passenger's front airbag
is activated.


Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked. The
airbags may no longer be deployed in the event
of a serious impact.

For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:

Front airbags

Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its
spokes or resting your hands on the centre
part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
If possible, do not smoke 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.




Lateral airbags

Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment the lateral
airbags. For information on the range of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, you can
contact a CITROËN dealer (see "Practical
information - § Accessories").
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backs (clothing...). This could cause injury
to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is
deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary.


Curtain airbags

Do not fix or attach anything to the roof.
This could cause injury to the head if the
curtain airbag is deployed.
If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the
grab handles installed on the roof, they play
a part in securing the curtain airbags.
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 hamper 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 must be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned
are obser ved, a risk of injury or of minor
burns to the head, chest or arms when an
airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out. 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.
