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.

54Safety











Airbags Front airbags


Front airbag fault

Immediately after the impact, the airbags
deflate rapidly so that they do not hinder
the visibility of the occupants nor their exit if
necessary from the vehicle. The air bags are
not deployed in the case of minor impacts, rear impacts or in cer tain roll-over conditions. The seat belt is sufficient to ensure maximumprotection in these situations. The seriousness
of a collision depends on the nature of the
obstacle and the speed of the vehicle at the
m
oment of the collision.
Airbags only operate when the ignition is switched on. When they are deployed, a
noise is heard during inflation.
The airbags have been designed to maximise
the safety of the occupants in the event of serious collisions. They work in conjunction
with the force-limiting seat belts. Theelectronic detectors register and analyse any abrupt deceleration of the vehicle in the
impact detection zones (see diagram): if the
deployment threshold is reached, the airbags
in
flate instantly and protect the occupants of
the vehicle.

These are
fitted in the centre of the steeringwheel for the driver and in the dashboard for the front passenger. They are deployed simultaneously, except in cases where thepassenger's airbag is deactivated, in theevent of a serious front impact applied in the
impact zone A
in the longitudinal centreline
of the vehicle, on a horizontal plane and from
th
e front of the vehicle towards the rear. T he
airba
g inflates between the front occupant of
the vehicle and the dashboard to cushion hisfor ward movement. The airbags therefore limit
the risk of injury to the head and chest.
A.Front impact zone.B. Side impact zone.
Note:
the gas escaping from the airbags can be a minor irritant.
Flashin
g indicates an airbag fault, contact a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop to have the
system checked. The airbags may
no longer be deployed in the event of a serious
impact.

55 Safety
To ensure the safety of your child, it is essential to deactivate the passenger'sairbag when you install a "rear-facing"child seat on the front passenger seat.
Other wise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the air bag wereto inflate.)With the ignition switched off, inser t thefkey into the passenger airbag deactivation switch 1, turn it to the "OFF"position, then remove the key keeping the switch in this position.
In the "OFF"position, the passenger airbag willnot be deployed in the event of an impact.
As soon as the "rear-facing"
child seat is
removed, turn the airbag switch to the "ON"position to re-activate the airbag and thus ensure the safety of your passenger in the
event of an impact. If the passen
ger airbag is
deactivated, the warning lamp in the
instrument panel remains on until the
passen
ger airbag is reactivated.
Flashin
g indicates a fault with at least
one of these airbags.Contact a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop to have thesystem checked. The airbags may no longer be
deployed in the event of a serious impact.

According to version.












Lateral airbags * and
curtain airbags *

The lateral airbags are built into the front seatbacks on the door side.
The deployment of these airbags requires a
serious side impact applied in the side impact
zone B , perpendicular to the longitudinalcentreline of the vehicle, on a horizontal plane and from the outside of the vehicle towards the inside. The lateral airbag inflates between the front occupant of the vehicle and the door trimpanel. It therefore limits the risk of injury to the chest.
The cur tain airba
gs are built into the headlining.
The cur tain airba
g inflates between the front or rear occupant and the windows. It therefore
limits the risk of head injuries. In the event of a
minor impact or bump on the side of the vehicle
or if the vehicle rolls over, the airbag may notbe deployed. The airbag is not deployed in the event of a front or rear collision.
