Get SAFETY -> Seat belts Guide for Citroen Berlingo SUV Second Generation (2008-2018)

Seat belts

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 allow the

seat belt straps to ﬁt loosely.

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 deployed

before and independently of inﬂation

of the airbags. It instantly tightens

the seat belts against the body of the

occupants.

Deployment 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.

Check that the seat belt is fastened

correctly by pulling the strap.

The front passenger's seat may be

ﬁtted with a presence detector, in which

case you should not place anything

heavy on this seat as this could trigger

the alert.

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.

Contact a CITROËN dealer or a

qualiﬁed workshop.

In accordance with current safety

regulations, your CITROËN dealer can

guarantee all work or any checks, from

testing to maintenance, on your seat

belt equipment.

Have the seat belts checked regularly

(even after a minor impact) by a

CITROËN dealer or a qualiﬁed

workshop: they must not show any

signs of wear, cutting or fraying

and they must not be converted or

modiﬁed.

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,

must 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.

Clean the seat belt straps with

soapy water or a textile cleaning

product, sold by CITROËN

dealers.

Do not interchange the seat belt

buckles as they will not fulﬁl their role

properly. 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.
