SAFETY
SEAT BELTS Pretensioning front seat
belts with force limiter
Safety in the event of front
impacts has been improved
by means of the introduction of pre-
tensioning seat belts with force lim-
iter for the front seats. Depending on
the force of the impact, the preten-
sioning system instantly tightens the
seat belts and pulls them against the
body of the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are ac-
tive when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure
of the seat belt on the chest of the oc-
cupant, increasing their protection. 3-door
5-door
Rear seat belts
The rear seats are equipped with two
three-point inertia reel seat belts.
You can store the seat belt buckles in
the housing
A .
Fastening/Unfastening the seat
belts
Pull the strap, then insert the buckle
into the stalk.
Check that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap.
To unfasten the seat belts, press the
button on the stalk.

SAFETY
The driver must ensure that
the passengers use the seat
belts correctly and that they
are all properly restrained
before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the ve-
hicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even for short journeys.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles as
they will not fulfi l their role fully.
If the seats have armrests * , the lap
part of the seat belt must always
pass under the armrest.
The seat belts are fi tted with an in-
ertia reel permitting automatic adjust-ment of the length of the strap to your
size. The seat belt is stored automat-
ically 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 fi tted with an au-
tomatic locking device which comes
into operation in the event of a colli-
sion, on emergency braking or if the
vehicle rolls over. You can release
the device by pulling rapidly on the
strap and releasing it. In order to be effective, a seat belt:
- must be tightened as close to the
body as possible,
- must restrain one adult only,
- must not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
- must be pulled in front of you with a smooth movement, checking
that it does not twist,
- must not be transformed or modifi ed to avoid altering its
performance.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, all repairs and checks
must be carried out by a CITROËN
dealer who can guarantee that the
work is carried out correctly, or quali-
fi ed workshop.
Have your seat belts checked regu-
larly by a CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop and 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 rolled up correctly. Recommendations for children:
- use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years
old or shorter than one metre
fi fty,
- do not use the strap-guide * when a child seat is installed.
- never use the same seat belt to secure more than one person,
- never allow a child to travel on your lap.

Depending on the nature and se-
riousness of the impacts , the pre-
tensioning device may be triggered
before and independently of the air
bags. Triggering of the pre-tension-
ers is accompanied by a slight emis-
sion of harmless smoke and a noise,
due to the activation of the pyrotech-
nic cartridge incorporated in the sys-
tem.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat
belts system checked, and if neces-
sary replaced, by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
* According to model.

SAFETY
For the front, lateral and
curtain airbags to be fully
effective, observe the fol-
lowing safety rules:
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Sit in a normal upright position.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (child,
animal, object...). This could hamper
the operation of the airbags or injure
the occupants.
All work on the airbag systems is
strictly prohibited unless it is car-
ried out by qualifi ed personnel of the
CITROËN dealer network or a quali-
fi ed workshop.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
airbag systems checked. 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.
Smoke as little as possible; deploy-
ment 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.
Curtain airbags
Do not fi x or attach anything to the
pillars or the roof. This could cause
injury to the head when the curtain
airbag infl ates.
The deployment of an airbag or air-
bags is accompanied by a slight
emission of harmless smoke and
a noise due to the activation of the
pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in
the system. This smoke is not harm-
ful but sensitive individuals may ex-
perience some irritation.
The detonation noise may result in
a slight loss of hearing for a short
time.
Even if all of the precautions men-
tioned are observed, injury or slight
burns to the head, chest or arms
when the air bag is deployed can-
not be ruled out. Indeed, the bag in-
fl ates almost instantly (approximately
30 milliseconds) then defl ates within
the same time discharging hot gas
via the openings provided for this
purpose.
This equipment will only operate
once. If a second impact occurs
(during the same or a subsequent
accident), the airbag will not infl ate.
Lateral airbags
Only put approved covers on the seats,
these will not hamper the infl ation of the
lateral airbags. Contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Do not fi x or attach anything to the
front seat backs. This could cause
injury to the chest or arms when the
lateral airbag infl ates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.
