Seat belts
Front seat belts
Fastening
F Pull the belt down in front of you in a steady
movement, making sure that it does not
become twisted.
F Press the fastening into its buckle.
F Check that it is properly secured and that
the automatic locking mechanism operates
correctly by pulling sharply on the belt
strap.
F The lap strap should be positioned as low
down as possible in the lap and as tight as
possible.
F The diagonal strap should be positioned
across the chest and away from the neck.
Each belt has a reel that adjusts its length
automatically to the girth of the seat occupant.
The front seat belts are fitted with a
pretensioning system and force limiter.
This system improves safety in the front seats
in the event of a front impact.
Depending on the seriousness of the impact,
the pretensioning system instantly tightens the
seat belt against the body of the occupant. The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt against the chest of the occupant,
so increasing his protection.
Height adjustment
When correctly adjusted, the seat belt shoulder
strap falls over the middle of the shoulder.
F
To adjust the belt, squeeze the control and
slide it in the direction required.
Unfastening
F To unfasten the belt, press on the red
button in the buckle.
The belt retracts automatically when not in use.

Advice
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 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.
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 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.
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.
