Visibility

The system may suffer interference or not work correctly:


- under conditions of poor visibility(for example, snowfall, heavy rainor thick fog, ...),

- if the windscreen is dir ty, misted or obscured (by a sticker, ...) in front of the camera,

- if the vehicle is facing highly reflective signs.


The system is not able to detect:


- road users that do not have their own lighting, such as pedestrians,

- road users whose lighting is
obscured, such as vehicles running behind a safety barrier (on amotorway, for example),

- road users at the top or bottom of a steep slope, on twisty roads, oncrossroads.Switching off

If the ambient li
ght level is very low and the
traffic conditions permit:


- m
ain beam comes on
automatically: this indicator lamp
comes on in the instrument panel. If the ambient li
ght level is sufficient and/or
if the traffic conditions do not allow illumination
of the main beam headlamps:
Pause
If the situation requires a change of headlampbeam, driver can take over at any time.

Safety








Ty r e u n d e r - i nfl ation detection
The system continuously monitors thepressures on the four tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever
y time the tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed. The system triggers an aler t as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres.
The under-inflation detection system does not replace the vigilance or theresponsibility of the driver. This system does not avoid the need tocheck the tyre pressures (including the spare wheel) every month as well as before a long journey. Driving with under-inflated tyres impairsroad holding, extends braking distances and causes premature tyre wear,particularly under arduous condition(high loading, high speed, long journey). S
ystem which automatically checks the pressure of the tyres while driving.

The inflation pressures defined for your vehicle can be found on the tyrepressure label (see the "Identificationmarkings" section). Tyre pressures should be checkedwhen the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderatespeeds). Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures shown on the label.

Driving with under-inflated tyresincreases fuel consumption.

Safety
The driver must ensure that passengers usethe seat belts correctly and that they are allrestrained 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 isstowed automatically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seatbelt is reeled in correctly.
The lower par t of the strap must be positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.
The upper par t must be positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fitted with an automatic locking device which comes into operation inthe 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.
Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is less than 12 years old or shor ter 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 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 nottwist,

- be used to restrain only one person,

- not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,

- not be converted or modified to avoidaffecting its per formance.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and seriousness of the impact
, thepretensioning device may be deployedbefore and independently of the airbags.Deployment of the pretensioners isaccompanied by a slight discharge of harmless smoke and a noise, due to theactivation of the pyrotechnic car tridge incorporated in the system. In all cases, the airbag warning lampcomes on.Following an impact, have the seat belts system checked, and if necessary replaced,by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.


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 soapywater 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.
