Seat belts
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a pretensioning and force limiting system.
This s
ystem improves safety in the frontseats in the event of a front or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, thepretensioning system instantly tightens the seat
belts against the body of the occupants.The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is on.
The
force limiter reduces the pressure of the seat belt on the chest of the occupant, so
improving their protection.


From approximately 12 mph (20 km/h) this warninglamp flashes for two minutes accompanied byan audible signal. Once these two minutes have elapsed, this warning lamp remains on until the driver and/or the front passenger fastens their seat belt.

In order to be effective, a seat belt must:- be tightened as close to the body aspossible, - be pulled in front of you with a smoothmovement, 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 performance.
In accordance with current safety regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle, go to a qualified workshop with the skills andequipment needed, which a CITROËN dealer is able to provide. Have your seat belts checked regularly bya 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 byCITROËN dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned and reeled in correctly.

Never use the same seat belt to secure more than one person.

In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and seriousnessof the impact
, the pretensioning device may be deployed before and independently of the airbags. Deployment of the pretensionersis 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 beltssystem checked, and if necessary replaced, by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifiedworkshop.
