Seat belts

Front seat belts

Seat belt reels with reversible

pretension

This system provides automatic adjustment of

the tension of the driver's and passenger's seat

belts after fastening, once the vehicle's speed

is above 6 mph (10 km/h).

In addition, as soon as the system detects a

potentially dangerous driving situation, this

system reacts by drawing in slack in the belt,

(for example, under heavy or sharp braking or

sudden avoiding manoeuvres). By automatically

increasing the tension of the seat belts, the

system holds the driver and passenger against

their seat backrests.

Front seat belt anchorage height

adjustment

ꢀ

To adjust the height of the anchorage point,

squeeze the control and slide it up or down

to the desired notch.

Once the driving situation returns to normal, the

belt reel is released: the belt tension returns to

the initial level of comfort.

The front seat belts are fitted with a

pretensioning and force limiting system.

This system improves safety in the front

seats in the event of a front or side impact.

Depending on the severity of the impact, the

pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat

belts against the body of the occupants.

The pretensioning seat belts are active when

the ignition is on.

Deactivation of the passenger's airbag

causes deactivation of the reversible

seat belt reel on the passenger's side.

The force limiter reduces the pressure of the

seat belt on the chest of the occupant, so

improving their protection.

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.

-

be tightened as close to the body as

possible,

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

than one person.

-

they will not fulfil their role fully.

-

be used to restrain only one person,

not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,

not be converted or modified to avoid

affecting its performance.

Never allow a child to travel on your lap.

The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel

permitting automatic adjustment of the length

of the strap to your size. The seat belt is

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

positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.

The upper part must be positioned in the

hollow of the shoulder.

The inertia reels are fitted with an automatic

locking device which comes into operation in

the event of a collision, emergency braking

or if the vehicle rolls over. You can release

the device by pulling firmly on the strap and

releasing it so that it reels in slightly.

In accordance with current safety

regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle,

go to a qualified workshop with the skills and

equipment needed, which a CITROËN dealer

is able to provide.

Have your seat belts checked regularly by

a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop,

particularly if the straps show signs of

damage.

Clean the seat belt straps with soapy

water or a textile cleaning product, 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.

In the event of an impact

Depending on the nature and

seriousness of the impact, the

pretensioning device may be deployed

before and independently of the airbags.

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.

In all cases, the airbag warning lamp

comes on.

Following an impact, have the seat belts

system checked, and if necessary replaced,

by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

workshop.
