The driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
restrained securely 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 are fitted with an automatic
locking device which comes into operation in
the event of a collision, 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.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, refer to the "Child
seats" section.
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 bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
-
n
ot be converted or modified to avoid
affecting its performance.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impact , the
pretensioning 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.
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.

than 10 minutes continuously.
If the compressor seems extremely
hot, switch it off and disconnect it
immediately. Leave it to cool for at least
30 minutes.
As soon as possible after a repair using
the kit, go to a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Tell the technician that you have used
the kit. After checking, the technician
will advise you whether the tyre can be
repaired or must be replaced.

pressure using the compressor. If the
pressure has dropped slightly, inflate the
tyre again to the specified figure. Carry
out the same check after another 6 miles

STOP mode is temporarily unavailable. See "Stop & Start (AS&G) system" for special cases with STOP mode and START mode.
Diesel engine pre-heating fixed. The engine is cold and: - the ignition switch is at the ON position (ignition on), or - the START/STOP starting button has been pressed (ignition on).
With key starting, wait until the warning lamp has gone off before starting. With the Keyless Entry and Starting system, the engine will only start after the warning lamp has gone off. The duration for which the warning lamp is on is determined by the climatic conditions (up to 30 seconds in severe weather). If the engine does not start, switch the ignition off and then on again and wait again until the warning lamp goes off, then start the engine.

Stop & Start (Auto Stop & Go) system
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "AS &G" warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel or the instrument panel screen and the engine goes into standby after a few seconds:
- with a manual gearbox , with the vehicle stationary and your foot on the brake, when you put the gear lever into neutral and release the clutch pedal.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP mode; you must switch off the ignition with the key or the START/STOP button.
When the engine is stopped automatically, the operation of certain vehicle systems, such as for example, braking, power steering... are modified. Ta k e c a r e.
Special cases: STOP mode not available
STOP mode is not invoked when: - the driver's seat belt is not fastened, - the driver's door is open, - the bonnet is open, - the minimum time period of 30 seconds since starting the engine has not elapsed, - the vehicle has not exceeded 3 mph (5 km/h) since the last engine start, - the vehicle has restarted less than 10 seconds ago, - the engine is needed to maintain a comfortable temperature in the passenger compartment, - demisting is active, - some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, braking assistance, ambient temperature...) where the engine is needed to assure control of a system.
- the "AS &G" warning lamp is flashing in the instrument panel.
This operation is perfectly normal.
The Stop & Start (Auto Stop & Go) system puts the engine temporarily into standby during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine restarts automatically as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently. Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start (Auto Stop & Go) function reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.
If you move the gear lever, the "AS &G"warning lamp flashes, accompanied by an audible signal. The alert stops as soon as the gear lever is returned to the neutral position.
