ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
The incorrect installation of a
child seat in a vehicle compro-
mises the child's protection in the event
of an accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or
the child seat harness k e e p i n g t h e
s l a c k in relation to the child's body to
a minimum , even for short journeys.
For optimum installation of the "forward
facing" child seat, ensure that the back
of the child seat is in contact with the
back of the vehicle's seat and that the
head restraint does not cause any dis-
comfort.
If the head restraint has to be re-
moved, ensure that it is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from
being thrown around the vehicle in
the event of sharp braking. Children under the age of 10 must not
travel in the "forward facing" position
on the front passenger seat, unless
the rear seats are already occupied
by other children, cannot be used or
are absent.
Disarm the passenger air bag when
a "rear facing" child seat is installed
on the front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the air bag
w e r e t o i n fl a t e .
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- one or more children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,
- a child or an animal in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun, with
the windows closed,
- the keys within reach of children inside the vehicle.
To protect young children from the
r a y s o f t h e s u n , fi t s i d e b l i n d s o n t h e
rear windows.
I n s t a l l i n g a b o o s t e r s e a t
The chest part of the seat belt must
be positioned on the child's shoulder
without touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat
belt passes correctly over the child's
thighs.
CITROËN recommends the use of a
b o o s t e r s e a t w h i c h h a s a b a c k , fi t t e d
with a seat belt guide at shoulder level.

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 -
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 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 mo- d i 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 -
mance.
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.
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
old or shorter than one metre
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 light
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat
belts system checked, and if neces-
sary replaced, by a CITROËN dealer.
* According to model.

SAFETY
Disarming the passenger air
bag
To ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to disarm the pas-
senger air bag when you install
a "rear-facing" child seat on the
front passenger seat. Otherwise,
the child would risk being seri-
ously injured or killed if the air bag
w e r e t o i n fl a t e .
With the ignition switched off ,
insert the key into the passenger
air bag disarming switch 1 , turn
it to the "OFF" position, then re-
move the key keeping the switch
in this position.
In the "OFF" position, the passen-
ger air bag will not be triggered in the
event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the air bag switch to the "ON"
position to re-activate the air bag and
thus ensure the safety of your pas-
senger in the event of an impact. If the passenger air bag is
disarmed, the warning light
on the instrument panel re-
mains on until the passen-
ger air bag is reactivated.
T h e c u r t a i n a i r b a g i n fl a t e s b e t w e e n
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 ve-
hicle or if the vehicle rolls over, the
air bag may not be triggered. The air
bag is not triggered in the event of a
front or rear collision.
Flashing indicates a mal-
function of at least one of
these air bags.
Contact a CITROËN dealer
to have the system checked.
The air bags may no longer be trig-
gered in the event of a serious impact.
Disarming (check)
Air bags malfunction
* According to version.
SIDE AIR BAGS * AND CURTAIN AIR BAGS *
The side air bags are incorporated
into the front seat backs on the door
side.
The triggering of these air bags re-
quires a serious side impact applied
in the side impact zone B , perpen-
dicular to the longitudinal centreline
of the vehicle, on a horizontal plane
and from the outside of the vehicle
towards the inside. The side air bag
i n fl a t e s b e t w e e n t h e f r o n t o c c u p a n t
of the vehicle and the door trim pad.
It therefore limits the risk of injury to
the chest.
The rear side air bags afford the rear
passengers the same protection
which the front side air bags offer the
front passengers.
The curtain air bags are incorporated
in the headlining.
