53 Safety
*
According to model.
The driver must ensure that thepassengers use the seat belts correctly and that they are all properly restrainedbefore setting off. Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,always fasten your seat belt, even for shor t journeys. Do not invert the seat belt buckles as they will not fulfil their role fully. If the seats have armrests * , the lap par tof the seat belt must always pass under the armrest.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 stored automatically when notin use.Before and after use, ensure that theseat belt is reeled in correctly.The lower part of the strap must be positioned as low as possible on the pelvis. The upper par t must be positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fitted with an automaticlocking device which comes into operation in the event of a collision, 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 asmooth movement, checking that it doesnot twist, - must not be transformed or modified to avoid altering its performance.In accordance with current safety regulations, all repairs and checks must be carried out bya CITROËN dealer who can guarantee thatthe work is carried out correctly, or qualifiedworkshop. Have your seat belts checked regularly by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 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 isless than 12 years old or shor ter than one metre fifty,
- do not use the strap-guide *
when a child seat is installed.
- never use the same seat belt to securemore than one person,
- never allow a child to travel on your lap.Depending on the nature and seriousnessof the impacts, the pre-tensioning device may be triggered before and independently of theair 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 airbag warning lamp comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat beltssystem checked, and if necessary replaced, by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifiedworkshop.

There is a difference in sound quality between
the different audiosources (radio, CD...).
For optimum sound quality, the audio settings
(Bass, Treble, Ambience, loudness) can be adapted to the different sound sources, which mayresult in audible differences when changing source (radio, CD...).
Check that the audio settings (Bass, Treble, Ambience, Loudness) are adapted to the sources listened to. It is advisable to adjust audio settings(Bass, Treble, Front-Rear balance, Left-Right balance)
to the middle position, select the musical ambience
and set the loudness correction to the "Active" position
in CD mode or to the "Inactive" position in radio mode.
When chan
ging the settings for treble and
bass, the ambience
setting is deselected.
When changing the
ambience setting, treble and bass are reset to zero.
Choosing an ambience imposes settings for treble and bass. Modifyingone without the other is only possible with a personalised ambience. Modify the treble and bass settings or the
ambience setting to obtain the desired sound quality.
The qualit
y of receptionof the radio station
listened to graduallydeteriorates or the stored stations do not function(no sound, 87.5 MHz is
displayed...). The vehicle is too
far from the transmitter used by the station listened
to or there is no transmitter in the geographical area through which the
vehicle is travellin
g.
Activate the RDS function to enable the system
to check whether there is a more powerful
transmitter in the geographical area.
The environment
(hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks...) block reception, including in RDS mode. This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate
a failure of the audio equipment.
The aerial is absent or has been dama
ged (for example when goingthrough a car wash or into an underground car park). Have the aerial checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Sound cut-outs of 1 to
2 seconds in radio mode.During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for any frequency
permitting better reception of the station. Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon is
too frequent and always on the same route. The
following tables contain answers to the most frequently asked questions.

Start the vehicle's engine to increase the batterycharge.
The message "the audio system is overheated"
appears on the display. In order to protect the installation i
