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  
l

ength   of   the   strap   to   your   size.   The   seat   belt  
i

s   stowed   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  
p

ositioned   as   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  
t

hen   releasing   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

In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impact , the

D

eployment   of   the   pretensioners   is

h

armless   smoke   and   a   noise,   due   to   the

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.
In accordance with current safety

General information
System designed to contribute towards improving   the   safety   of   the   occupants   (with

w

p

assenger
 b
elt).
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. 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.
