cAB SEAt BELt S
If you install a front bench seat as
an accessory, it it must be fitted with
approved seat belts.
Fastening
Pull the strap in front of you with an even
movement, ensuring that it does not twist.
Engage the tongue in its buckle.
Check that the seat belt is fastened securely
and that the automatic locking system is
operating correctly by pulling the strap
rapidly.
unfastening
Press the red button on the buckle, the
seat belt reels in automatically but you are
advised to guide it.
As a safety measure, these operations
should not be carried out while the
vehicle is moving.
Seat belts not fastened
warning lamp
If the driver's seat belt is unfastened,
START mode of Stop & Start will not be
invoked. Engine restarting is only possible
with the ignition key. When the vehicle is started, this warning
lamp comes on, accompanied by an
increasing audible signal, if the driver and/
or the front passenger has not fastened their
seat belt.
The alert operates both for versions with
an individual passenger front seat and for
versions with a 2-seat front bench seat.
The driver's seat is fitted with a pyrotechnic
pretensioner and a force limiter.
On versions with a passenger's front airbag,
the passenger's seat is also fitted with a
pyrotechnic pretensioner and a force limiter.
The front bench seat is fitted with two seat
belts.

For the driver or outer passenger seat,
squeeze the control at the adjustable top
mounting, slide the assembly, then release
at the desired position to lock it.

Good practice
children at the front
The legislation on carrying a child on the
front passenger seat is specific to each
country. Refer to the legislation in force in
your country.
Deactivate the passenger's airbag when a
rearward facing child seat is installed on the
front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag were
deployed. As a safety precaution, never leave:
-
one or more children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,
- a child or an animal in a vehicle which
is exposed to the sun, with the windows
closed,
-
the keys within reach of children inside
the vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the doors,
use the "Child Lock".
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays of
the sun, fit side blinds to the rear windows. Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
CITROËN recommends the use of a booster
seat which has a back, fitted with a seat belt
guide at shoulder level.
For the optimum installation of a forward
facing child seat, ensure that the back of
the child seat is as close as possible to the
backrest of the vehicle's seat, or in contact
if possible.
The head restraint must be removed before
installing a child seat with a backrest on the
passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is stowed or
attached securely so that it is not thrown
around the vehicle in the event of sharp
braking.
Refit the head restraint as soon as the child
seat is removed.
At the rear, always leave sufficient space
between the front seat and:
-
a rearward facing child seat,
-
the feet of a child seated in a forward
facing child seat.
For this, move the front seat forward and, if
necessary, straighten its backrest as well. The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's protection in
the event of an accident.
Check that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle under the child seat, as this could
destabilise the seat.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harnesses keeping the slack
relative to the child's body to a minimum,
even for short journeys.
For the installation of a child seat using
the seat belt, ensure that the seat belt is
well tensioned on the child seat and that
it is holding the child seat firmly against
the vehicle's seat. If the passenger seat is
adjustable, move it forward if necessary.
