The front seat belts are fitted with a
pretensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a front or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat
belts against the body of the passengers. The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt on the chest of the passenger, so
improving their protection.

Driving recommendations
Your vehicle is designed principally to
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you to
occasionally drive on other less passable
terrain.
However, it does not permit off-road
driving such as:
-

c

rossing and driving on terrain which
could damage the underbody or strip
away components (fuel pipe, fuel
cooler, etc.) due to obstacles or stones
in particular,
-

d

riving on terrain with steep gradients
and poor grip,
-

c

rossing a stream.

For rows 2 and 3, fit each seat belt to its
c orrect buckle.
Do not interchange the belts or buckles for
the outer seats with the belt or buckle for
the centre seat.
When folding the outer seats or placing
a backrest in the table position, avoid
trapping the belt for the centre seat.
After folding a rear seat or bench seat,
ensure that the seat belt has reeled
in correctly and the buckle is ready to
receive the belt tongue.
When handling the outer seats (removing
or refitting) or for access to row 3, avoid
trapping the centre belt.
The seat belt reels for the outer seats in row

have force limiters.
The seats in row 3 have three-point seat belts
with inertia reels.
With individual seats
They have three-point seat belts with their
guides and belt reels built into the backrests.
Seat belt warning lamps
With individual front seats
On switching on the ignition, a warning lamp
comes on if the corresponding seat belt is not
fastened or is unfastened.
From approximately 12
mph (20 km/h),
the warning lamp(s) flash for two
minutes, associated with an audible
signal. Beyond these two minutes, the
warning lamps remain on if the driver
or front passenger do not fasten their

Instructions 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 case of impact
Depending on the nature and seriousness
of the impact, the pyrotechnic may be
deployed before and independent of the
airbags. Deployment of the pyrotechnics
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 is lit.
After an impact, get the seat belt system
checked and if necessary have it replaced
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.AirbagsThe airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.
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.
Impact detection zones
A. Frontal impact zone.
B. S ide impact zone.
System designed to contribute towards
improving the safety of passengers (with the
exception of the centre seat in rows 2

and
3, depending on your vehicle) in the event of
violent collisions. The airbags supplement the
effect of the seat belts with force limiter.
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 a serious impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and contribute
towards better protection of the passengers
(with the exception of the centre seat in
rows 2

and 3, as applicable); immediately
after the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly
so that they do not hinder visibility or the
exit of the passengers,
-

i

n the case of a minor or rear impact or in
certain roll-over conditions, the airbags
may not be deployed; the seat belt
alone contributes towards ensuring your
protection in these situations.

Safety

153
Deployment
The airbags are deployed unilaterally in the
event of a serious side impact applied to all or
part of the side impact zone, perpendicular to
the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The lateral airbag inflates between the front
passenger’s abdomen and head and the
associated door trim panel.
Curtain airbags (row 2
and 3)
If fitted to your vehicle, this is a system that
contributes towards greater protection for the
passengers (with the exception of the centre
seats) in the event of a serious side impact in
order to limit the risk of injury to the side of the
head.
Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and
the upper passenger compartment area.
Deployment
The airbags 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 airbags may not be deployed.
In the event of a rear or front collision,
none of the lateral airbags are deployed.
The airbags are deployed unilaterally in the
event of a serious side impact applied to all or
part of the side impact zone, perpendicular to
the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The curtain airbag inflates between the outer
rear passenger and the windows.

Advice
For the airbags to be fully effective,
observe the safety recommendations
below.
Adopt a normal and upright sitting position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
object, etc.), nor fix or attach anything close
or in the way of airbag trajectory; this could
cause injuries during their deployment.
Never modify the original definition of your
vehicle, particularly in the area directly
around the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen, have the airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Even when following all the precautions
listed, a risk of injuries or slight burns to
the head, the chest or the arms, when an
airbag deploys cannot be excluded. The
bag inflates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then deflates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via openings
provided for this purpose.Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its
spokes or resting your hands on the centre
part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags
can cause burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or
hit it violently.
Do not fit or attach anything to the steering
wheel or dashboard, this could cause injuries
in case of airbag deployment.
Side airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment of the lateral
airbags. For information on the range of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, you can
contact a CITROËN dealer.
Do not attach or hang anything on the seat
backrests (clothes, etc.) as this could cause
injuries to the thorax or arm when the side
airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary.
Curtain airbags
Do not attach anything or hang anything to
the roof, as this could cause head injuries
when the curtain airbag is deployed.
If fitted to your vehicle, do not remove the
grab handles installed on the roof, they play a
part in securing the curtain airbags. The vehicle's front door panels include side
impact sensors.
A damaged door or any unauthorised or
incorrectly executed work (modification or
repair) on the front doors or their interior trim
could compromise the operation of these
sensors – Risk of malfunction of the lateral
airbags!
Such work must only be done by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

General points relating to
child seats
* The legislation on carrying children is specific to each country.
Although one of CITROËN's main
considerations when designing your vehicle,
the safety of your children also depends on
you.
For maximum safety, please obser ve the
following recommendations:
-

I
n accordance with European regulations,
all children under the age of 12 or less
than one and a half metres tall must
travel in an approved child seat suited to
their weight and installed on a vehicle seat
fitted with a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings*.
-
S
tatistically, the safest seats in your
vehicle for carr ying children are the rear
seats.
-
A c
hild weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the rear ward facing position
both in the front and in the rear.
CITROËN recommends that children
should travel on the rear seats of your
vehicle:
-
re
arward facing
up to the age of 3,
-
fo
rward facing
over the age of 3.

with the backrest straightened.
"Forward facing"
Ensure that the seat belt is properly
tightened.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure
that this is in firm contact with the floor.
If necessary, adjust the front seat of the
vehicle.
When a "for ward facing" child seat is installed
on a rear passenger seat
, move the vehicle's
front seat for ward and straighten the backrest
so that the legs of the child in the for ward
facing child seat do not touch the vehicle's front
seat.
Adjust the rear seat to the fully back position,
with the backrest straightened.
