The driver must ensure that passen -
gers use the seat belts correctly and
that

they

are

all

restrained

securely

before

setting off.
Wherever

you

are

seated

in

the

ve
-
hicle, 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

auto
-
matic

locking

device

which

comes

into operation in the event of a collision,

emergency

braking

or

if

the

vehicle rolls

over
.
Y
ou
can

release

the

device by

pulling

the

strap

firmly

and

then

re
-
leasing
it so that it reels in slightly.In
order to be ef fective, a seat belt must:
-

be

tightened

as

close

to

the

body

as possible,
-

be

pulled

in

front

of

you

with

a

smooth

movement,

checking

that

it

does not twist,
-
be

used

to

restrain

only

one

person,
-
not

bear

any

trace

of

cuts

or

fraying,
-

not

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

equip
-
ment

needed,

which

a

CITROËN

dealer

is able to provide.
Have

your

seat

belts

checked

regu
-
larly

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

pas
-
senger

is

less

than

12

years

old

or

shorter

than one and a half metres.
Never

use

the

same

seat

belt

to

se
-
cure
more than one person.
Never

allow

a

child

to

travel

on

your

lap.
For

more

information,

refer

to

the

"Child

seats" section.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and se-
riousness of the impact, the pre-
tensioning

device

may

be

deployed

before

and

independently

of

the

airbags.

Deployment

of

the

preten
-
sioners

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

neces
-
sary

replaced,

by

a

CITROËN

dealer

or

a qualified workshop.

TOWING A TRAILER
We recommend the use of genu -
ine CITROËN towbars and their
harnesses

that

have

been

tested

and

approved

from

the

design

stage

of

your

vehicle,

and

that

the

fitting

of

the

towbar

is

en
-
trusted

to

a

CITROËN

dealer

or

a

qualified workshop.
If

the

towbar

is

not

fitted

by

a

CITROËN

dealer
,
it

must

still

be

fitted

in

accordance

with

the

vehicle

manufacturer's

instruc
-
tions.
Your

vehicle

is

primarily

designed

for

transporting

people

and

luggage,

but

it

may

also be used for towing a trailer.
Driving
with

a

trailer

places

greater

de
-
mands

on

the

towing

vehicle

and

the

driver

must take particular care.
Driving advice
Distribution of loads
F
Distribute

the

load

in

the

trailer

so

that

the

heaviest

items

are

as

close

as

possible

to

the

axle

and

the

nose

weight

approaches

the

maximum

permitted

without exceeding it.
Air

density

decreases

with

altitude,

thus

reducing

engine

performance.

Above

1

000
metres,

the

maximum

towed

load

must

be

reduced

by

10
%
for

every

1 000

metres of altitude.
Side wind
F

T
ake
into

account

the

increased

sensitivity

to side wind.
Cooling
Towing

a

trailer

on

a

slope

increases

the

temperature of the coolant.
As

the

fan

is

electrically

controlled,

its

cooling

capacity

is

not

dependent

on

the

engine speed.
F

T
o
lower

the

engine

speed,

reduce

your

speed. The

maximum

towed

load

on

a

long

in
-
cline depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the

coolant

temperature.
F

If

the

warning

lamp

and

the

ST

OP
warning

lamp

come

on,

stop

the

vehicle

and

switch

of
f
the

engine

as

soon

as possible.
Braking
Towing

a

trailer

increases

the

braking

distance.
T

o
avoid

overheating

of

the

brakes

on

a

long

mountain

type

of

descent,

the

use

of

engine braking is recommended.
Tyres
F

Check

the

tyre

pressures

of

the

towing

vehicle

and

of

the

trailer
,
observing

the

recommended

pres
-
sures.
Lighting
F

Check

the

electrical

lighting

and

sig
-
nalling
on the trailer.
Refer

to

the

"T
echnical
data"

section

for

details

of

the

weights

and

towed

loads

which

apply to your vehicle.
The

rear

parking

sensors

will

be

deactivated

automatically

if

a

genuine

CITROËN

towbar

is

used.
