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.
b
efore 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.
