The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts correctly and that they are all
fastened
  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.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt
is
  reeled   in   correctly.
The
  lower   part   of   the   strap   must   be   positioned  
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.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   on   child   seats,   refer   to  
t

he   corresponding   section.
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,  
b

y   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
w

orkshop.
Advice
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,
-

b
e 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
 it
s
 p
erformance.
In accordance with current safety
regulations,
  for   all   repairs   on   your   vehicle's  
s

eat   belts,   go   to   a   qualified   workshop   with  
t

he   skills   and   equipment   needed,   which   a  
C

ITROËN   dealer   is   able   to   provide.
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.

When towing
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest   items   are   as   close   as   possible   to t

he   axle   and   the   nose   weight   approaches   the
 m

aximum   permitted   without   exceeding   it.
Air density decreases with altitude,
thus
 r

educing
 e
ngine
 p
erformance.
 A

bove 1 000 metres,   the   maximum   towed  
l

oad   must   be   reduced   by   10 %   for   every  
1 0

00 metres   of   altitude.
Side wind
F Take  into   account   the   increased   sensitivity  t
o   side   wind.
For
  more   information   on   weights   (and   the  
t

owed   loads   which   apply   to   your   vehicle)   refer  
t

o   the   corresponding   section.
F  
I
f   the   warning   lamp   and   the  
S

TOP
 
warning   lamp   come   on,  
s

top the vehicle and switch off
the   engine   as   soon   as   possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o   avoid   overheating   of   the   brakes,   the   use   of  
e

ngine   braking   is   recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check  the   tyre   pressures   of   the   towing  v
ehicle   and   of   the   trailer,   observing   the  
re

commended
 p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check  the   electrical   lighting   and   signalling  o
n   the   trailer   and   the   hadlamp   beam   height  
o

f   your   vehicle.
For
  more   information   on   adjusting   the  
h

eadlamp   beam   height,   refer   to   the  
c

orresponding
 s
ection.
The
  rear   parking   sensors   will   be  
d

eactivated   automatically   if   a   genuine  
C

ITROËN   towbar   is   used.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature   of   the   coolant.
As
  the   fan   is   electrically   controlled,   its   cooling  
c

apacity   is   not   dependent   on   the   engine   speed.
F
 
T
o   lower   the   engine   speed,   reduce   your  
s

peed.
The
  maximum   towed   load   on   a   long   incline  
d

epends   on   the   gradient   and   the   ambient  
t

emperature.
In
  all   cases,   keep   a   check   on   the   coolant  
t

emperature.
