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.

Good practice

The driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
strapped in securely before moving off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
which automatically adjusts the length of the
strap to your size.
Do not use accessories (clothes pegs, clips,
safety pins, etc.) which permit a clearance
with the seat belt straps.
Ensure that the seat belt has reeled in
correctly after use.
After folding or moving a seat or a rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt has
reeled in correctly and that the buckle is
ready to accommodate the tongue.
Depending on the nature and seriousness
of any impact, the pretensioning device may
be triggered before and independently of
inflation of the airbags. It instantly tightens
the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
Triggering 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. The airbag warning lamp comes
on if the pretensioners are
triggered. Consult a CITROËN
dealer.
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 fulfil their role completely. If the seats are fitted 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.

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.
For more information on child seats,
refer to the "Child safety" section of
chapter 5.
Your CITROËN dealer can ensure that
all work or any checks, from testing to
maintenance on your seat belt equipment
meets current regulations.
Have the seat belts checked regularly
(even after a minor impact) by a CITROËN
dealer: 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.

SAFETY


Improved safety and security

IMPROVED SAFETY AND SECURITY
IMPACT RE
SISTANCE
Your vehicle has been designed to limit
the forces on the passenger compartment
as much as possible in the event of a
collision, the engine compartment adopts
a progressive deformation structure and
the front doors have been reinforced to
contribute to the rigidity of the whole.


ANTI-THEFT PROTECTION

Your vehicle, in the van version, comprises
two zones with separate locking: the cab
and the load space.
Depending on the way in which it is used,
this function provides increased protection
both for your personal belongings and for
your merchandise.
Details of these functions are given in
part 2. An exterior protection alarm with anti-tilt
detection is available (as standard or as an
option) in certain countries.

Airbags


Good practice


If your vehicle is fitted with front, lateral
and curtain airbags, in order for these to
be fully effective, observe the following
safety rules:
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Sit in a normal upright position.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (child, animal,
object...).
This could hamper the operation of the
airbags or injure the occupants.
All work on the airbag systems is strictly
prohibited unless it is carried out by qualified
personnel of the CITROËN network.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.
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.
Smoke as little as possible; 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

Only put approved covers on the front seats.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Do not fix or attach anything to the front seat
backs. This could cause injury to the chest
or arms when 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 pillars or
the roof. This could cause injury to the head
when the curtain airbag is deployed.
Do not remove the bolts from the grab
handles installed on the roof, they play a
part in securing the curtain airbags.

"ISOFIX" MOUNTINGS

Your vehicle has been approved
in accordance with the new
ISOFIX regulation. The mountings comprise three rings for each
seat:


- two front rings, located between the
vehicle seat back and cushion, indicated
by a label,

- a rear ring, for securing the upper
strap referred to as the TOP TETHER,
indicated by another label.
This ISOFIX mounting system provides fast,
reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in
your vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats are fitted with two
latches which are secured easily on the two
front rings.
Some also have an upper strap which is
attached to the rear ring.
To attach this strap, raise the vehicle seat's
head restraint then pass the hook between
its rods. Then fix the hook on the rear ring
and tighten the upper strap.
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's protection in
the event of an accident.
For information regarding the ISOFIX child
seats which can be installed in your vehicle,
consult the summary table for the location of
the ISOFIX child seats. If fitted on your vehicle, the regulation
ISOFIX mountings are located by labels.

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS

The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's protection in
the event of an accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harnesses keeping the slack
in
relation to the child's body to a minimum
,
even for short journeys.
For optimum installation of the "forward
facing" child seat, ensure that the back of
the child seat is in contact with the back of
the vehicle's seat and that the head restraint
does not cause any discomfort.
If the head restraint has to be removed,
ensure that it is stored or attached securely
to prevent it from being thrown around the
vehicle in the event of sharp braking.
Children under the age of 10 must not travel
in the "forward facing" position on the front
passenger seat, unless the rear seats are
already occupied by other children, cannot
be used or are absent. Deactivate the passenger's airbag when a
"rear facing" child seat is installed on the
front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag were
to inflate.

As a safety precaution, do not leave:


- one or more children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,

- a child or an animal in a vehicle which
is exposed to the sun, with the windows
closed,

- the keys within reach of children inside
the vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the doors,
use the "Child Lock".
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays of
the sun, fit side blinds to the rear windows.

Installing a booster seat

The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
CITROËN recommends the use of a booster
seat which has a back, fitted with a seat belt
guide at shoulder level.


Crew cab

Do not install child seats, booster cushions
or carrycots on the rear seats of the cab.
