Check that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap.
Driver's seat belt not fastened
warning lamp Unfastening
Press the red button. When the vehicle is started,
this warning lamp comes on
if the driver has not fastened
their seat belt.
Good practice
The driver must ensure that
passengers use the seat belts correctly
and that they are all strapped in
securely before moving off.
Wherever you are seated in the
vehicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even for short journeys.
The seat belts are fi tted with an inertia
reel which automatically adjusts the
length of the strap to your size.
Do not use accessories (clothes pegs,
clips, safety pins, etc.) which allow the
seat belt straps to fi t loosely.
Ensure that the seat belt has reeled in
correctly after use.
After folding or moving a seat or a rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt
has reeled in correctly and that the
buckle is ready to accommodate the
tongue.
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of any impact, the
pretensioning device may be deployed
before and independently of infl ation
of the airbags. It instantly tightens
the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
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.

Recommendations for children:
- use a suitable child seat if the passenger is less than 12 years old
or shorter than one metre fi fty,
- never allow a child to travel on your lap, even with the seat belt
fastened.
For more information on child
seats, refer to the "Children on
board" section of chapter 4.
Clean the seat belt straps with
soapy water or a textile cleaning
product, sold by CITROËN
dealers.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, your CITROËN dealer can
guarantee all work or any checks, from
testing to maintenance, on your seat
belt equipment.
Have the seat belts checked regularly
(even after a minor impact) by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop: they must not show any
signs of wear, cutting or fraying
and they must not be converted or
modifi ed.
The force limiter reduces the pressure
of the seat belt against the body of the
occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active
when the ignition is switched on.
The inertia reels are fi tted with a device
which automatically locks the strap in
the event of a collision or emergency
braking or if the vehicle rolls over.
You can unfasten the seat belt by
pressing the red button on the buckle.
Guide the seat belt after unfastening.
The airbag warning lamp comes on
if the pretensioners are deployed.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
In order to be effective, a seat belt
must:
- restrain one person only,
- must not be twisted, check by
pulling in front of you with an even
movement,
- be tightened as close to the body as possible.
The upper part of the seat belt should
be positioned in the hollow of the
shoulder.
The lap part should be placed as low
as possible on the pelvis.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles as
they will not fulfi l their role completely.
If the seats are fi tted with armrests, the
lap part of the seat belt should always
pass under the armrest.
Check that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap fi rmly. Front seat belts
The front seats are fi tted with
pretensioners and force limiters.
Rear seat belts
(5 seat version)

trapping the strap of the centre seat
belt.
When handling the side seats
(removing/installing) or when
accessing row 3, avoid hooking the
centre seat belt.
Ensure that the centre seat belt is
rolled up correctly in its strengthener
on the roof. In row 3
The two seats are fi tted with three-
point inertia reel seat belts.
Do not attach the seat belts to the
stowing rings marked with a red cross,
represented on the label.
Take care to hook the seat belts
correctly on the rings provided for this
purpose.
The row 3 seat belts which are not in
use can be stored to clear the load
space and make use of the load space
cover easier.
Hook the snap hook in the location
provided on the rear pillar trim.

Airbags

SAFETY

AIRBAGS
The airbags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
in the event of a serious collision;
they work in conjunction with the force
limiting seat belts. In the event of a serious collision, the
electronic detectors record and analyse
the front and side impacts suffered in
the impact detection zones:
- in the event of a serious impact,
the airbags infl ate instantly and
contribute towards better protecting
the occupants of the vehicle.
Immediately after the impact, the
airbags defl ate rapidly, so that they
do not hinder the visibility of the
occupants nor their possible exit
from the vehicle. - in the event of a minor or rear
impact and in certain roll-over
conditions, the airbags will not be
deployed; the seat belt alone is
suffi cient to contribute towards your
protection in these situations.
The seriousness of the collision
depends on the nature of the obstacle
and the speed of the vehicle at the
moment of impact.

Airbags
11 4
Good practice
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child,
pet, object...). This could hinder the
operation of the airbags or injure the
occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system is strictly
forbidden unless it is carried out by
qualifi ed personnel at a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Even if all of the precautions
mentioned are observed, a risk of
injury or of minor burns to the head,
chest or arms when an airbag is
deployed cannot be ruled out. In fact,
the bag infl ates almost instantly (within
a few milliseconds) then defl ates within
the same time discharging the hot gas
via openings provided for this purpose. Lateral airbags
Only put recommended covers on
the seats. These will not hinder
infl ation of the lateral airbags. Contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Do not fi x or attach anything to the 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.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on
the centre part of the wheel.
Do not allow passengers to place
their feet on the dashboard, they risk
serious injury if the airbag is deployed.
Smoke as little as possible as
deployment 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.
Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
This equipment only operates once.
If a second impact occurs (during the
same or a subsequent accident), the
airbag will not operate.
The deployment of an airbag or airbags
is accompanied by a slight discharge
of smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but
sensitive individuals may experience
some irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result
in a slight loss of hearing for a short
time.
It is imperative that the
passenger's airbag is deactivated
if a child seat is installed facing
rearwards. Refer to the "Children on
board" section of chapter 4.

GENERAL POINTS RELATING
TO CHILD SEATS
Although one of CITROËN's main
criteria when designing your vehicle,
the safety of your children also
depends on you.
For maximum safety, please follow
these precautions:
- all children under the age of 12 or less than one metre fi fty tall must
travel in approved child seats suited
to their weight, on seats fi tted with
a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings,
- statistically, the safest seats in your vehicle for the transportation of
children are the rear seats,
- a child weighing less than 9 kg must travel in the "rearward facing"
position both in the front and in
the rear,
- the passenger must not travel with a child on their lap.
CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT
"Rearward facing"
Recommended on the rear seats up to
the age of 2.
When a "rearward facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat, it
is essential that the passenger airbag
is deactivated. Otherwise, the child
would risk being seriously injured or
killed if the airbag were to infl ate. "Forward facing"
Recommended on the rear seats over
the age of 2.
When a "forward facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat,
leave the passenger airbag activated.
The rules for carrying children are
specifi c to each country. Consult
the current legislation in your
country.
Please consult the list of seats
approved in your country. The Isofi x
mountings, the rear seats, the
passenger airbag and the deactivation
of this airbag depend on the version
sold.
