SAFETY
Seat belts
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt against the body of the occupants.

The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is switched on.
The inertia reels are fitted with a device
which automatically locks the strap in the
event of a collision or emergency braking or
if the vehicle rolls over.
You can unfasten the seat belt by pressing
the red button on the buckle. Guide the seat
belt after unfastening.
Good practice
The driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
strapped in securely before moving off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
which automatically adjusts the length of the
strap to your size.
Do not use accessories (clothes pegs, clips,
safety pins, etc.) which permit a clearance
with the seat belt straps.
Ensure that the seat belt has reeled in
correctly after use.
After folding or moving a seat or a rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt has
reeled in correctly and that the buckle is
ready to accommodate the tongue.
Depending on the nature and seriousness
of any impact, the pretensioning device may
be triggered before and independently of
inflation of the airbags. It instantly tightens
the seat belts against the body of the
occupants. Triggering of the pretensioners
is accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system. The airbag warning lamp comes
on if the pretensioners are
triggered. Consult a CITROËN
dealer.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:


- restrain one person only,

- must not be twisted, check by pulling in
front of you with an even movement,

- be tightened as close to the body as
possible.
The upper part of the seat belt should be
positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.
The lap part should be placed as low as
possible on the pelvis.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles as they
will not fulfil their role completely. If the seats are fitted with armrests, the lap
part of the seat belt should always pass
under the armrest.
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap firmly.

Recommendations for children:


- use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years old or
shorter than one metre fifty,

- never allow a child to travel on your lap,
even with the seat belt fastened.
For more information on child seats,
refer to the "Child safety" section of
chapter 5.
Your CITROËN dealer can ensure that
all work or any checks, from testing to
maintenance on your seat belt equipment
meets current regulations.
Have the seat belts checked regularly
(even after a minor impact) by a CITROËN
dealer: they must not show any signs of
wear, cutting or fraying and they must not be
converted or modified.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product, sold
by CITROËN dealers.

SAFETY
Airbags
AIRBAGS
The airbags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants in the
event of a serious collision; they work in
conjunction with the force limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, the
electronic detectors record and analyse any
abrupt deceleration of the vehicle:
if the triggering threshold is reached, the
airbags inflate instantly and protect the
occupants of the vehicle.
Immediately after the impact, the airbags
deflate rapidly, so that they do not hinder the
visibility of the occupants nor their possible
exit from the vehicle. The airbags will not be deployed in collisions
which are not serious, for which the seat belt
is sufficient to provide maximum protection.
The seriousness of the collision depends on
the nature of the obstacle and the speed of
the vehicle at the moment of impact.

Airbags only operate when the ignition is
switched on. Front airbags

These are fitted in the centre of the steering
wheel for the driver and in the dashboard
for the front passenger. They are deployed
simultaneously, except in cases where the
passenger airbag has been deactivated.
The gas escaping from the deployed
airbags can be a minor irritant.
The noise of the detonation may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.
Front airbag fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
contact a CITROËN dealer to
have the system checked.

Airbags


Deactivating the passenger airbag

Refer to the "MODE" section of
chapter 4, then on the "Passenger
airbag" menu, select OFF
. When OFF
is selected, the passenger airbag
will not be triggered in the event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed, select
ON
to re-activate the airbag and thus ensure
the safety of your passenger in the event of an
impact.


Lateral airbags and curtain airbags

If your vehicle is fitted with lateral airbags,
these are fitted to the front seat backs on
the door side.
The curtain airbags are fitted to the door
pillars and the upper part of the passenger
compartment, in the roof over the front cab
seats.
They inflate between the occupant and the
glass.
They are deployed independently of each
other depending on which side the collision
occurs.
The airbag warning lamp on the
instrument panel remains on while
the passenger airbag is deactivated.
To ensure the safety of your child, it is
essential to deactivate the passenger airbag
when you install a rear-facing child seat on
the front passenger seat. Otherwise, the
child would risk being killed or seriously
injured if the airbag were to inflate.
If your vehicle is not fitted with this
equipment: do not install a rear-facing child
seat.
Deactivation check
This is confirmed by lighting of
this warning lamp each time the
engine is started.
If your vehicle is fitted
with this screen, the
check is accompanied by
a message.


Operating check

Confirmed by this indicator lamp.

Battery
QUICK HEL
P
8


The batteries contain harmful
substances such as sulphuric acid and
lead. They must be discarded in accordance
with the provisions of the law and must not,
in any circumstances, be discarded with
household waste.
Take used batteries to a special collection
point.

It is advisable to disconnect the negative (-)
terminal of the battery if the vehicle is not to be
used for a period of more than one month.


Before disconnecting the battery, you must
wait for 2 minutes after switching off the
ignition.
Never disconnect a terminal when the
engine is running.
Never charge a battery without first
disconnecting the terminals.
Close the windows and doors before
disconnecting the battery.
After every reconnection of the battery,
switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute
before starting to allow the electronic
systems to be initialised. If slight difficulties
are experienced after this, please contact a
CITROËN dealer.
If the battery has been disconnected
for some time, it may be necessary to
reinitialise the following functions:


- the display parameters (date, time,
language, distance unit and temperature
unit),

- the radio stations,

- the central locking.
Some settings are cleared and must be
reprogrammed, consult a CITROËN.
If your vehicle is fitted with a tachograph or
an alarm, disconnection of the negative (-)
terminal of the battery (located under the
floor on the left-hand side, in the cab) is
recommended if the vehicle is not to be used
for a period of more than 5 days.
