and CSC * braking systems, increases
the stability and manoeuvrability of your
vehicle on braking and provides im-
proved control, in particular on poor or
slippery road surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the
event of emergency braking.
The EBFD and CSC * systems provide
full control of the braking pressure wheel
by wheel. A distribution between:
- the front and the rear in the case of the EBFD (Electronic Brake
Force Distribution),
- the left and the right in the case of the CSC * (Cornering Stability
Control).

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
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.
T h e s e a t b e l t s a r e fi t t e d w i t h a n i n e r t i a
reel permitting automatic adjustment of
the length of the strap to your size. The
seat belt is stored automatically when
not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the
seat belt is rolled up 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 m o d i fi e d t o a v o i d a l t e r i n g i t s
performance.
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 regularly
by a CITROËN dealer 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
o l d o r 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 seri-
ousness of the impacts, the pre-ten-
sioning device may be triggered before
and independently of the air bags. Trig-
gering of the pre-tensioners is accom-
panied 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 light
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat belts
system checked, and if necessary re-
placed, by a CITROËN dealer.
* According to model.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
TOWING YOUR VEHICLE
Your vehicle can only be towed at
the front. Lifting
(2 wheels only on the road)
It is preferable to raise the vehicle by
the wheels.
Never use the radiator crossmember.
When your vehicle is being
towed with the engine switched
off, there is no braking or steer-

Without lifting
(4 wheels on the road)
You should always use a towbar.
The removable towing eye is stored
in the spare wheel, under the boot
carpet.
Unclip the bottom of the cover,
Screw in the towing eye until it
