SEAT BELTS
Front seat belts
T h e f r o n t s e a t b e l t s a r e fi t t e d w i t h a
pretensioning system and force limiter.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a front impact.
Depending on the seriousness of the
impact, the pretensioning system in-
stantly tightens the seat belt against
the body of the occupant. Fastening
Pull the belt down in front of you
in a steady movement, making
sure that it does not become
twisted.
Press the fastening into its buckle.
Check that it is properly secured
and that the automatic locking
mechanism operates correctly
by pulling sharply on the belt
strap.
The abdominal part of the strap
should be positioned as low
down as possible in the lap and
as tight as possible.
The chest part should be posi-
tioned if possible in the channel
of the shoulder.
Each belt has a reel that adjusts its
length automatically to the girth of
the seat occupant. Height adjustment
The pretensioning seat belts are ac-
tive when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pres-
sure of the seat belt against the
chest of the occupant, so increasing
his protection.
The correct positioning of the seat
belt reel is around mid-shoulder level.
To adjust the belt, pinch the con-
trol and slide it in the direction
required.
Unfastening
To unfasten the belt, press on
the red button in the buckle.
The belt retracts automatically when
not in use.

Rear central seat belt
Installation of the seat belt
(C4 Picasso)
Open the cover A .
Remove the belt tongues from
their housing.
Bring the belt tongues up to the
relay ring B .
Insert the attachment, then pass
the tongues through the ring.
Reclose the cover A . Make sure
that the belt is correctly posi-
tioned in the recess in the cover
provided for this purpose. Stowage of the belt tongues
(C4 Picasso)
Operate in reverse order to stow
the belt tongues.
You may opt to leave the seat belt in
the relay ring even if not using it. Routing of the seat belt
(C4 Picasso and C4 Grand
Picasso)
Insert the tongue C into the buckle
on the right, then insert the sec-
ond tongue D into the buckle on
the left.
Unfastening the seat belt
(C4 Picasso and Grand C4
Picasso)
Release the tongue C , then the
tongue D and guide the seat belt
to its stowing position.
Before use
For safety reasons, it is essential
that the seat belt passes through
the relay ring.
To prevent any damage to seat
belts and in order not to get them
jammed, take care to stow them on
the sides of the backrests.

Third row rear seat belts
(Grand C4 Picasso)
Requirements for the third-row
passenger seat belts
Take care to attach the third-row
passenger seat belts securely on
the rings provided for this purpose.
Do not attach the belts on the an-
choring points marked with a red
cross, as shown on the illustration. Stowing the tongue of the third-
row seat belt
Secure the tongue in the place
provided on the rear pillar trim.
The third-row passenger seat belts
that are not being used can be
stowed in order to free up loadspace
and facilitate use of the luggage
cover.
Before use:
To avoid damaging or jamming the
seat belts, take care to stow them
on the sides of the backrests.

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
vehicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even for short journeys.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles

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 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.

tomatic locking device which comes
into operation in the event of a col-
lision, 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 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,
- must not be transformed or modi- 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. Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the pas-
senger is less than 12 years old or
s h o r t e r t h a n o n e m e t r e fi f t y .
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 rolled up correctly.
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impacts
, the
pre-tensioning device may be trig-
gered before and independently of
the air bags. Triggering of the pre-
tensioners 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 air bag warning light
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat
belts system checked, and if neces-
sary replaced, by a CITROËN dealer.

AIR BAGS
S y s t e m d e s i g n e d t o m a x i m i s e t h e
safety of the occupants (with the
e x c e p t i o n o f t h e r e a r c e n t r e p a s -
senger) in the event of violent col-
lisions. It supplements the action of
the force-limiting seat belts.
If a collision occurs, the electronic
detectors record and analyse the
front and side impacts sustained in
the impact detection zones:
- in the case of a serious impact, the air bags are triggered instant-
ly and protect the occupants of
t h e v e h i c l e ( w i t h t h e e x c e p t i o n o f
the rear centre passenger); im-
mediately after the impact, the

they do not hinder visibility or the
e x i t o f t h e o c c u p a n t s ,
- in the case of a minor or rear im- pact or in certain roll-over con-
ditions, the air bags will not be
triggered; the seat belt alone is
s u f fi c i e n t t o p r o v i d e o p t i m u m
protection in these situations.
The air bags do not operate
when the ignition is switched
off.
This equipment will only operate
once. If a second impact occurs
(during the same or a subsequent
accident), the air bag will not operate. Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
Triggering of the air bag(s) is ac-
companied by a slight emission of
harmless smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sen-
s i t i v e i n d i v i d u a l s m a y e x p e r i e n c e
slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may
result in a slight loss of hearing for
a short time. Front air bags
System which protects the head and
chest of the driver and front passen-
ger in the event of a front impact.
The driver's air bag is incorporated
in the centre of the steering wheel;
the front passenger's air bag is in-
corporated in the fascia above the
g l o v e b o x .
Activation
The air bags are triggered simultane-
ously, unless the passenger's front
air bag is disarmed, in the event of
a serious front impact applied to all
or part of the front impact zone
A ,
in the longitudinal centreline of the
vehicle on a horizontal plane and di-
rected from the front to the rear of
the vehicle.
T h e f r o n t a i r b a g i n fl a t e s b e t w e e n
the front occupant of the vehicle and
the fascia to cushion his forward
movement.

For the air bags to be fully
effective, observe the following
safety rules:
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the air bags (a child,
pet, object...). This could hamper the
operation of the air bags or injure the
occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle
has been stolen or broken into, have
the air bag systems checked.
All work on the air bag system is
strictly forbidden unless it is carried

tioned are observed, a risk of injury

or arms when an air bag is triggered
cannot be ruled out. In fact, the bag
