Monitoring

67
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 the strap firmly and
then 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 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.
For more information, refer to the "Child
seats" section.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
-
b
e tightened as close to the body as
possible,
-

b

e pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it does not
twist,
-

b

e used to restrain only one person,
-

n

ot bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
-

n

ot be converted or modified to avoid
affecting its performance.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle's
seat belts, 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.
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.

Airbags
The airbags have been designed to contribute
towards improving the safety of the occupants
in the event of violent collisions. They
supplement the action of the force-limiting seat
belts.
In this case, the electronic detectors record and
analyse the front and side impacts suffered in
the impact detection zones:
-
i
n the event of a serious impact, the
airbags are deployed instantaneously
and contribute towards protecting the
occupants of the vehicle; immediately after
the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly
so that they do not hinder the visibility of
the occupants or their possible exit from
the


vehicle,
-

i
n the event of a minor impact or rear
impact and in certain roll-over conditions,
the airbags may not be deployed; the seat
belt alone contributes towards providing
your protection in these situations.
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is off.
This equipment only operates once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same
or a subsequent accident), the airbag
will not be deployed again. The deployment of one or more airbags
is accompanied by a slight discharge
of 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 related to
the deployment of one or more airbags
may result in a slight loss of hearing for
a short time.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. S
ide impact zone.
Front airbags
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the
passenger's front airbag if it is deactivated,
in the event of a serious front impact applied
to all or part of the front impact zone A , in
the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the front to
the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the dashboard to
cushion their for ward movement. System which protects the head and chest of
the driver and front passenger in the event of a
front impact.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.

Deactivation
Only the front passenger's airbag can be
deactivated:
F
w
ith the ignition off , insert the key in the
passenger airbag deactivation switch A ,
F

t
urn it to the "OFF" position,
F

r
emove the key. This warning lamp comes on in the centre
console when the ignition is on and until the
airbag is reactivated.
To ensure the safety of your child, the
passenger airbag must be deactivated
when you install a rear ward 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
switch A to the "ON" position to reactivate the
airbag and so ensure the safety of your front
passenger in the event of an impact.
The associated warning lamp goes off.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop
without
delay to have the system checked. The
airbags may no longer be deployed in
the event of a serious impact.
In this case, do not install a child seat
or seat an adult on the front passenger
seat.

passenger's sun visor repeats this advice. In
line with current legislation, the following tables
contain this warning in all of the languages
required.

restraint system on a seat protected by
an active front airbag. This could cause
the death of the child or serious injury.
For information on deactivating the
passenger's front airbag, refer to the
