The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts correctly and that they are all
restrained
  securely   before   setting   off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
Do
  not   interchange   the   seat   belt   buckles   as  
t

hey   will   not   fulfil   their   role   fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
permitting
  automatic   adjustment   of   the   length  
o

f   the   strap   to   your   size.   The   seat   belt   is  
s

towed   automatically   when   not   in   use.
be

a

s   low   as   possible   on   the   pelvis.
The
  upper   part   must   be   positioned   in   the  
h

ollow   of   the   shoulder.
The
  inertia   reels   are   fitted   with   an   automatic
 l

ocking   device   which   comes   into   operation   in
 t

he   event   of   a   collision,   emergency   braking
 o

r   if   the   vehicle   rolls   over.   You   can   release
 t

he   device   by   pulling   the   strap   firmly   and   then
 r

eleasing   it   so   that   it   reels   in   slightly.In
  order   to   be   effective,   a   seat   belt   must:
-  b e   tightened   as   close   to   the   body   as  
p

ossible,
-
 
b
e   pulled   in   front   of   you   with   a   smooth  
m

ovement,   checking   that   it   does   not  
t

wist,
-
be

used to restrain only one person,
-
 n

ot   bear   any   trace   of   cuts   or   fraying,
-
 
n
ot   be   converted   or   modified   to   avoid  
a

ffecting

s

eat   belts,   go   to   a   qualified   workshop   with

Have
  your   seat   belts   checked   regularly   by  
a

  CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop,  
p

articularly   if   the   straps   show   signs   of  
d

amage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water
  or   a   textile   cleaning   product,   sold   by  
C

ITROËN   dealers.
After
  folding   or   moving   a   seat   or   rear   bench  
s

eat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned
and
  reeled   in   correctly.Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is less than 12 years old or shorter than one
and
  a   half   metres.
Never
  use   the   same   seat   belt   to   secure   more  
t

han   one   person.
Never
  allow   a   child   to   travel   on   your   lap.
For
  more   information,   refer   to   the   "Child

In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and seriousness
of the impact ,
  the   pretensioning   device   may  
b

e deployed before and independently of the
airbags.
  Deployment   of   the   pretensioners  
i

s   accompanied   by   a   slight   discharge   of  
h

armless   smoke   and   a   noise,   due   to   the  
a

ctivation   of   the   pyrotechnic   cartridge  
i

ncorporated   in   the   system.
In
  all   cases,   the   airbag   warning   lamp  
comes
  on.
Following
  an   impact,   have   the   seat   belts  
s

ystem   checked,   and   if   necessary   replaced,

Airbags
System designed to contribute towards improving   the   safety   of   the   occupants   (with  
t

i

n   the   event   of   violent   collisions.   The   airbags  
s

upplement   the   action   of   the   force-limiting  
s

eat   belts   (with   the   exception   of   the   centre   rear  
p

assenger).
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record
  and   analyse   the   front   and   side   impacts  
s

ustained   in   the   impact   detection   zones:
-
 
i
n   the   case   of   a   serious   impact,   the   airbags  
a

re deployed instantly and contribute
towards better protection of the occupants
of
  the   vehicle   (with   the   exception   of   the  
r

ear   centre   passenger);   immediately   after  
t

he   impact,   the   airbags   deflate   rapidly   so  
t

hat   they   do   not   hinder   visibility   or   the   exit  
o

f the occupants,
-
 
i
n   the   case   of   a   minor   or   rear   impact   or   in  
c

ertain   roll-over   conditions,   the   airbags  
m

ay   not   be   deployed;   the   seat   belt  
a

lone   contributes   towards   ensuring   your  
p

rotection   in   these   situations.
Impact detection zones
A. Front  impact   zone.
B. S ide   impact   zone.
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.
This
 
equipment
 
will
 
only
 
deploy
 
once.
 
I

f
 
a
 
second
 
impact
 
occurs
 
(during
 
the
 
s

ame
 
or
 
a
 
subsequent
 
accident),
 
the
 
a

irbag
 
will
 
not
 
be
 
deployed
 
again.
Deployment  of   one   or   more   of   the  
a

irbags   is   accompanied   by   a   slight  
e

mission   of   smoke   and   a   noise,   due  
t

o the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge
  incorporated   in   the   system.
This
  smoke   is   not   harmful,   but   sensitive  
i

ndividuals   may   experience   slight  
ir

ritation.
The noise of detonation related to the
deployment
  of   one   or   more   airbags   may  
r

esult   in   a   slight   loss   of   hearing   for   a  
s

hort   time.

  in   the   longitudinal   centreline
 o

f the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed
from
