Safety
5The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are
enabled when the ignition is on.
Force limiter
This system reduces the pressure of the seat
belt on the chest of the occupant, thus improving
their protection.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impacts, the pyrotechnic
device may trigger before and independently
of airbag deployment. 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.
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a pyrotechnic
pretensioning system and a force limiting
system.
Height adjustment
► To adjust the height of the anchorage point,
squeeze control A and slide it to the notch
desired.
Rear seat belts
Each of the rear seats has a three-point seat belt
with inertia reel.
The outer seats are fitted with a pyrotechnic
pretensioning and force limiting system.
Fastening
► Pull the strap, then insert the tongue in the
buckle.
►
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap.
Unlocking
► Press the red button on the buckle.
► Guide the seat belt as it is reeled in.
►
On the side seat belts, raise the bar to the
top of the backrest to prevent the tongue from
knocking against the side trim.
