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 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.
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 have an automatic locking
device at the time of a collision, during
sudden braking or if the vehicle turns over.
You can release the device by pulling the
strap firmly and then releasing it so that it
reels in slightly.
Advice
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
- b e tightened as close to the body as
possible,
-
b
e pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it does not
twist,
-
b
e used to restrain only one person,
-
n
ot show any signs of cuts or fraying,
-
n
ot be converted or modified to avoid
affecting its performance.
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. 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 impact , the pyrotechnic 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.
Safety
75
AirbagsThe airbags do not operate when the
engine is not running.
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 airbags have been designed to optimise
the safety of the occupants in the event of
a
serious collision; they work in conjunction
with the force limiting seat belts.
In the event of a
serious collision, electronic
detectors record and analyse any abrupt
deceleration of the vehicle:
-
i
n the event of a
serious collision, the
airbags are deployed instantly and
contribute towards better protection of
occupants of the vehicle; immediately after
the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly so as
not to hinder visibility or a
potential exit by
the occupants,
-
i
n the case of a
minor or rear impact or in
certain rollover conditions, the airbags are
not deployed; the seat belt alone contributes
towards ensuring your protection in these
situations. Deployment of the airbags is accompanied
by a
slight discharge of smoke and
a
noise, resulting from activation of the
pyrotechnic charge incorporated in the
system.
Although this smoke is not harmful,
sensitive individuals may experience slight
irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result in
a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.
Front airbags
System which protects the driver and
passenger(s) in the event of a serious front
impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the
head and thorax.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger(s) airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.
Malfunction
If this warning lamp comes on,
contact a CITROËN dealer to have
the system checked.
Lateral airbags and curtain
airbags
If your vehicle is fitted with lateral airbags,
these are fitted to the front seat backrests on
the door side.
Curtain airbags are fitted to the door pillars and
the upper part of the passenger compartment,
in the roof over the front cab seats.
They inflate between the occupant and the
glazed area.
They are deployed independently of each other
depending on which side the collision occurs.
Malfunction
If this warning lamp comes on,
contact a CITROËN dealer to have
the system checked.
