Depending on the seriousness of the

impact, the pretensioning system in-

stantly tightens the seat belt against

the body of the occupant.

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 interchange the seat belt

buckles as they will not fulﬁl their

role fully.

The seat belts are ﬁtted with an in-

ertia reel permitting automatic ad-

justment of the length of the strap

to your size. The seat belt is stowed

automatically when not in use.

In order to be effective, a seat belt

senger is less than 12 years old or

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.

In the event of an impact

Depending on the nature and se-

riousness of the impact, the pre-

tensioning device may be deployed

before and independently of the

airbags. Deployment of the preten-

sioners 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

or a qualiﬁed workshop.

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.

In accordance with current safety

regulations, for all repairs on your

vehicle, go to a qualiﬁed workshop

with the skills and equipment need-

ed, which a CITROËN dealer is able

to provide.

Have your seat belts checked reg-

ularly 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.

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 re-

lease the device by pulling ﬁrmly on

the strap and releasing it so that it

reels in slightly.
