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

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.

matic 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,
- 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
seriousness of the impacts , the
pre-tensioning device may be trig-
gered before and independently of
the airbags. 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 airbag warning lamp
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
the safety of the occupants (with
t h e e x c e p t i o n o f t h e r e a r c e n t r e
passenger) in the event of violent
collisions. 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 instantly
and protect the occupants of the
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 t h e
rear centre passenger); immedi-
ately after the impact, the air bags
d e fl a t e r a p i d l y s o t h a t t h e y d o n o t
h i n d e r v i s i b i l i t y o r t h e e x i t o f t h e
occupants,
- 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 car-
tridge 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 airbags
System which protects the head and
chest of the driver and front passen-
ger in the event of a front impact.
The driver’s airbag is incorporated
in the centre of the steering wheel;
the front passenger’s airbag is incor-
porated in the dashboard above the
g l o v e b o x .
Activation
The airbags are triggered simultane-
ously, unless the passenger’s front
airbag is deactivated, in the event of
a serious front impact to all or part of
the front impact zone
A , in the longi-
tudinal centreline of the vehicle on
a horizontal plane and directed 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 t h e

dashboard to cushion their forward
movement.

For the airbags 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 airbags (a child,
pet, object...). This could hamper the
operation of the airbags or injure the
occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle
has been stolen or broken into, have
the airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system is
strictly forbidden unless it is carried

Do not drive holding the steering
wheel by its spokes or resting your
