Seat belts
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a
pretensioning  and   force   limiting   system.
This
  system   improves   safety   in   the   front  
s

eats   in   the   event   of   a   front   or   side   impact.  
D

epending   on   the   severity   of   the   impact,   the  
p

retensioning   system   instantly   tightens   the   seat  
b

elts   against   the   body   of   the   occupants.
The
  pretensioning   seat   belts   are   active   when  
t

he   ignition   is   on.
The
  force   limiter   reduces   the   pressure   of   the  
s

eat belt on the chest of the occupant, so
improving
  their   protection.Fastening

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  
t

hey   will   not   fulfil   their   role   fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
permitting
  automatic   adjustment   of   the   length  
o

f   the   strap   to   your   size.   The   seat   belt   is  
s

towed   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  
a

s   low   as   possible   on   the   pelvis.
The
  upper   part   must   be   positioned   in   the  
h

ollow   of   the   shoulder.
The
  inertia   reels   are   fitted   with   an   automatic  
l

ocking   device   which   comes   into   operation   in  
t

he   event   of   a   collision,   emergency   braking  
o

r   if   the   vehicle   rolls   over.   You   can   release  
t

he   device   by   pulling   the   strap   firmly   and   then  
r

eleasing   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  
t

han   one   person.
Never
  allow   a   child   to   travel   on   your   lap.
For
  more   information   on   child   seats,   refer   to  
t

he   corresponding   section.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and seriousness
of the impact,
  the   pretensioning   device   may  
b

e deployed before and independently of the
airbags.
  Deployment   of   the   pretensioners  
i

s   accompanied   by   a   slight   discharge   of  
h

armless   smoke   and   a   noise,   due   to   the  
a

ctivation   of   the   pyrotechnic   cartridge  
i

ncorporated   in   the   system.
In
  all   cases,   the   airbag   warning   lamp   comes   on.
Following
  an   impact,   have   the   seat   belts  
s

ystem   checked,   and   if   necessary   replaced,

-
 
n
ot   bear   any   trace   of   cuts   or   fraying,

s

eat   belts,   go   to   a   qualified   workshop   with  
t

he   skills   and   equipment   needed,   which   a

  your   seat   belts   checked   regularly   by  
a

  CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop,  
p

d

amage.
