The warning label present on both sides of the
passenger's sun visor repeats this advice. In
line with current legislation, the following tables

required.
Child safety

117
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.
The driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
fastened 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. 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.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 on child seats, refer to
the corresponding section.
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
Front airbags
System which protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a serious front impact
in order to limit the risk of injury to the head and
chest.
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.
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except for 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.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. S ide impact zone.
General information
System designed to contribute towards improving
the safety of the occupants (with the exception of
the rear centre passenger) in the event of violent
collisions. The airbags supplement the action of
the seat belts fitted with force limiters (all except
the centre rear passenger belt).
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
-
i

n the case of a serious impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and contribute towards
better protection of the occupants of the
vehicle (with the exception of the rear centre
passenger); immediately after the impact,
the airbags deflate rapidly so that they do not
hinder visibility or the exit of the occupants,
-
i

n the case of a minor or rear impact or in
certain roll-over conditions, the airbags
may not be deployed; the seat belt alone
contributes towards ensuring your protection
in these situations.
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only deploy once.
If a second impact occurs (during the
same or a subsequent accident), the
airbag will not be deployed again. Deployment of one or more of the
airbags is accompanied by a slight
emission 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 slight
irritation.
The noise of detonation related to the
deployment of one or more airbags may
result in a slight loss of hearing for a
short time.
Safety

119

instrument panel, you must contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

Reactivation
When you remove the rear ward facing child
seat, with the ignition off, turn switch 1 to
the
"ON" position to reactivate the airbag and
so assure the safety of your front passenger in
the event of an impact.

lamp comes on in the instrument
panel or in the seat belt and

lamp comes on either in the
instrument panel or on the seat belt

seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were deployed.
