Do not use the function when the seat is
not occupied.
Reduce the intensity of the heating as
soon as possible.
When the seat and passenger
compartment have reached an
adequate temperature, you can stop
the function; reducing the consumption
of electrical current reduces fuel
consumption.Prolonged use at the highest setting is
not recommended for those with sensitive
skin.
There is a risk of burns for people whose
perception of heat is impaired (illness,
taking medication, etc.).
There is a risk of overheating the system if
material with insulating properties is used,
such as cushions or seat covers.
Do not use the system:

To avoid breaking the heating element in
the seat:
-

d

-

d
o not kneel or stand on the seat,
-

d
o not place sharp objects on the seat,
-

d
o not spill liquids onto the seat.
To avoid the risk of short-circuit:
-

All road (mud, damp grass,
etc.)
This mode, when moving off, allows
considerable spin on the wheel with the least
grip to optimise clearing of the mud and regain
grip. At the same time, the wheel with the most
grip is controlled in such a way as to pass as
much torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises wheel spin
to respond to the driver's requirements as fully
as possible.
(mode active up to 31 mph (50 km/h))F

P
lace the knob in this position.
Sand
This mode allows little spin on the two driving
wheels at the same time to allow the vehicle to
move for ward and limit the risks of getting stuck
in the sand.
(mode active up to 75 mph (120 km/h))F

P
lace the knob in this position.
Do not use the other modes on sand as
the vehicle may become stuck. You can deactivate the ASR
and DSC systems by turning
the knob to the "
OFF" position.
The ASR and DSC systems will no longer
have an effect on engine operation or
the brakes in the event of an involuntary
change of trajectory.
These systems are reactivated
automatically from 31 mph (50 km/h) or
every time the ignition is switched on.
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.
Seat belts
Front seat belts
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 occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of
the seat belt on the occupant's chest, thus
improving their protection.

Advice
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.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 pretensioner
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 belt
system checked, and, if necessary, replaced,
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
