Advice
In order to be effective, a seat belt:
- M ust be tightened as close to the body
as possible,
-

M
ust be pulled in front of you with a
smooth movement, ensuring that it is not
twisted,
-

M
ust only be used to secure one person,
-

M
ust not show signs of tear or fraying.
-

M
ust not be changed or modified, in
order to avoid affecting its per formance.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle's
seat belts, go to a qualified workshop
provider with the skills and equipment
needed, which a
CITROËN network is able to
provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly by
the network
CITROËN or someone 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 impacts , the pyrotechnic device
may trigger before and independently of
airbag deployment. 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 light is on.
After an impact, get the seat belt system
checked and if necessary have it replaced
by the network
CITROËN or by qualified
workshop.
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 completely fulfil their role.
The safety belts are equipped with an
inertia reel which allows the strap length to
automatically adjust to your shape. The seat
belt returns to its storage automatically when
it is not used.
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 a device
which automatically locks the strap in the
event of a collision or 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.

Air bags
Designed to contribute to the safety of the
occupants in case of violent collisions The
airbags supplement the action of the force-
limiting seat belts.
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
-
I
n the event of violent impact, the air
bags are deployed instantly and help
better protect occupants of the vehicle;
immediately after the impact, the air
bags deflate rapidly in order not to hinder
the visibility nor the possible exit of the
occupants.
-

I
n the event of a non violent impact, impact
on the back and under certain conditions of
a rollover, the air bags may not deploy; only
the seat belt helps to protect you in these
situations.
The air bags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.Impact detection zones Front air bags
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. The deployment of an air bag is
accompanied by a slight emission of
smoke and a noise, due to the detonation
of the pyrotechnic charge incorporated in
the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight irritation.
The detonation noise associated with the
deployment of an air bag may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.
A
Front impact zone.
B Side impact zone. 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
thorax.
The driver's air bag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger's air bag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.

Malfunction
If this warning light comes on in the
instrument panel, you must contact
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system
checked. The air bags may no
longer be deployed in the event of a
serious impact.
Reactivation
When you remove the rear ward facing child
seat, with the ignition off , turn the switch to
the ON position to reactivate the air bag and so
assure the safety of your front passenger in the
event of an impact.
Only the passenger's front air bag can be
deactivated.

F

R

emove the key keeping the switch in this
position.
When the ignition is on, this warning
light comes on in the instrument
panel and stays on while the air bag
is deactivated. To assure the safety of your child,
the passenger's front air bag must be
deactivated when you install a "rear ward
facing" child seat on the front passenger
seat. Otherwise, the child risks being
seriously injured or killed if the air bag is
deployed.
The air bags are deployed, except the
passenger's front air bag if it has been
deactivated, in the event of a serious front
impact 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 air bag inflates between the thorax
and head of the front occupant of the vehicle
and the steering wheel, driver's side, and the
dashboard, passenger's side, to cushion their
for ward movement.

Side air bags
Malfunction
System that contributes towards improving the
protection of the driver and front passenger in
the event of a serious side impact, in order to
limit the risk of injury to the chest, between the
hip and the shoulder.
Each side air bag is fitted in the seat backrest
frame, door side.
Deployment
If this warning light comes on in the
instrument panel, you must contact
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system
checked. The air bags may no
longer be deployed in the event of a
serious impact.
In the event of a minor impact or bump on
the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle rolls
over, the air bag may not be deployed.
In the event of a rear or front collision, the
air bag is not deployed.
They are deployed unilaterally in the event
of a serious side impact applied to all or part
of the side impact zone B
, perpendicular to
the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The side air bag contributes towards the
protection of the front occupant of the vehicle,
between the lower thorax and the head.
