The driver must ensure that passen-
gers use the seat belts correctly and
that they are all restrained securely
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
a s 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 .
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 ad-
justment 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 reeled in 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.

tomatic locking device which comes
into operation in the event of a colli-
sion, emergency braking or if the ve-
hicle 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 person of adult size 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,
- m u s t n o t b e a l t e r e d o r m o d i fi e d t o avoid altering its performance. Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the pas-
senger is less than 12 years old or
shorter than one and a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to
secure more than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your
lap.
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
w a t e r o r a t e x t i l e c l e a n i n g p r o d u c t ,
sold by CITROËN dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt
is positioned and reeled in correctly.
Depending on the nature and se-
riousness of the impacts , the pre-
tensioning device may be triggered
before and independently of the
airbags. Triggering of the pre-ten-
sioners is accompanied by a slight
discharge 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
belts system checked, and if neces-
sary replaced, by a CITROËN dealer.

Deactivation
This warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel
when the ignition is on and
until the airbag is re-armed.
To guarantee the safety of your
child, it is imperative that the pas-
senger airbag is deactivated when
you install a "rearwards-facing" child
seat on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk
being seriously injured or killed if
the airbag were triggered. Reactivation
When you remove the child seat,
turn switch
1 to the "ON" position to
reactivate the airbag and so guaran-
tee the safety of your front passen-
ger in the event of an impact.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible
warning and a message on
the multifunction screen, contact a
CITROËN dealer to have the sys-
tem checked. The airbags may no
longer be triggered in the event of a
serious impact.
I f t h i s w a r n i n g l a m p fl a s h e s ,
contact a CITROËN dealer.
If both airbag warning lamps come
on continuously, do not install a
"rearwards-facing" child seat on
the front passenger seat.
Have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer.
Only the front passenger's airbag
can be deactivated:
with the ignition off , insert the
key in the passenger airbag de-
activation switch 1 ,
turn it to the "OFF" position,
then, remove the key keeping
the switch in this position.
