with pre-tensioner  
 Safety in the event of frontal impacts  
has  been  improved  by  the  introduc-
tion  of  pre-tensioning  seat  belts  for 
the front seats.  
 Depending on the seriousness of the  
impact,  the  pre-tensioning  system 
instantly  tightens  the  seat  belts  and 
pulls  them  against  the  bodies  of  the 
occupants.  
 The  pre-tensioning  seat  belts  are  
armed when the ignition is on.

     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  
 t h e y   w i l l   n o t   f u l fi   l   t h e i r   r o l e   f u l l y .   
 If  the  seats  have  armrests * ,  the  lap  
part  of  the  seat  belt  must  always 
pass under the armrest.

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.  
   T h e   i n e r t i a   r e e l s   a r e   fi   t t e d   w i t h   a n   a u - 
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 modi-  fi   e d    t o    a v o i d    a l t e r i n g    i t s    p e r f o r m -
ance.  
 In  accordance  with  current  safety 
regulations,  all  repairs  and  checks 
must  be  carried  out  by  a  CITROËN 
dealer who guarantees that the work 
is carried out correctly.  
 Have  your  seat  belts  checked  regu- 
larly  by  a  CITROËN  dealer  and  par-
ticularly  if  the  straps  show  signs  of 
damage.  
 Clean the seat belt straps with soapy  
water  or  a  textile  cleaning  product, 
sold by CITROËN dealers. 
  *   According to model.  
  Recommendations for children:  
   -   use a suitable child seat if the pas-
senger is less than 12 years old or  
 s h o r t e r   t h a n   o n e   m e t r e   fi   f t y ,  
  -   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-tensioners 
is  accompanied  by  a  slight  emission 
of  harmless  smoke  and  a  noise,  due 
to  the  activation  of  the  pyrotechnic 
cartridge incorporated in the system.  
 In all cases, the air bag warning lamp  
comes on.  
 Following  an  impact,  have  the  seat  
belts  system  checked,  and  if  neces-
sary replaced, by a CITROËN dealer.   
 After  folding  or  moving  a 
seat  or  rear  bench  seat, 
ensure  that  the  seat  belt 
is positioned and rolled up 
correctly.
