Seat belts
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt against the body of the occupants.
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap firmly.
FRONT SEAT BELTS
With front air bags
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is switched on.
The front seats are fitted with pretensioners
and force limiters.
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.
Recommendations for children:
-
use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years old or
shorter than one metre fifty,
Without front air bag
You can unfasten the seat belt by pressing
the red button on the buckle. Guide the seat
belt after unfastening.
If your vehicle is fitted with a front bench
without front air bag, the centre passenger’s
seat belt does not have a pretensioner.
-
never allow a child to travel on your lap,
even with the seat belt fastened.
The air bag warning light comes on if the
pretensioners are triggered. Consult a
CITROËN dealer.
For further information regarding child
seats, refer to the "Children on board"
section of chapter 4.
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,
In accordance with current safety
regulations, your CITROËN dealer
guarantees all work or any checks, from
testing to maintenance, on your seat belt
equipment.
-
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.
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
transformed or modified.
The lap part should be placed as low as
possible on the pelvis.
With bench seat
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.
If your vehicle is fitted with a front bench
seat, take care to fasten the correct seat belt
using the correct buckle. Do not invert the
driver’s seat belt or buckle with the buckle or
seat belt of the centre seat.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product,
sold by CITROËN dealers.
