The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts correctly and that they are all
fastened

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.

Sit in a normal upright position.
W ear   a   correctly   adjusted   seat   belt.
Do

o

ccupants   and   the   airbags   (a   child,   pet,  
o

Never
  modify   the   original   definition   of   your

c

arried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
 w

re   observed,   a   risk   of   injury   or   of   minor  
b

urns   to   the   head,   chest   or   arms   when   an  
a
