2nd row rear seat belts

Seat belts

Front seat belts

The front seat belts are fitted with a pyrotechnic

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.

The force limiter reduces the pressure of the

seat belt on the chest of the occupant, thus

improving their protection.

F Pull the strap, then insert the tongue in the

buckle.

F Check that the seat belt is fastened

correctly by pulling the strap.

Each of the rear seats is fitted with a three-

point seat belt with inertia reel and force limiter

(except for the centre rear seat).

Safety

At a speed above 12 mph (20 km/h), these

warning lamps flash, associated with an

audible signal, for two minutes. Beyond this

period of time, the warning lamps stay on

continuously until the seat belts are fastened.

Advice

Installation

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 driver must ensure that passengers

use the seat belts correctly and that they

are all fastened before setting off.

Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,

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 inertia

reel permitting automatic adjustment of

the length of the strap to your size. The

seat belt is stowed automatically when not

in use.

The inertia reels have an automatic

locking device at the time of a collision,

during sudden braking or if the vehicle

turns over. You can release the device by

pulling the strap firmly and then releasing

it so that it reels in slightly.

Rear seat belts not fastened alert

In order to be effective, a seat belt must:

be tightened as close to the body as

possible,

When the ignition is switched on, with the

engine running or the vehicle moving above

6 mph (10 km/h), warning lamp A and the

corresponding dots in warning lamp B come on

for around thirty seconds, if one or more rear

passengers have not fastened their seat belts.

be pulled in front of you with a smooth

movement, checking that it does not

twist,

be used to restrain only one person,

not show any signs of cuts or fraying,

not be converted or modified to avoid

affecting its performance.

Seat belts unfastened alert

After the ignition is switched on, warning lamp

A and the corresponding dots in warning lamp

B come on if the driver and/or one or more

passengers unfasten their seat belts.

These warning lamps flash for 30 seconds,

accompanied by an audible signal. Beyond

this period of time, the warning lamps stay on

continuously until the seat belts are fastened.

Recommendations for children

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 child.

Before and after use, ensure that the seat

belt is reeled in correctly.

After folding or moving a seat or rear

bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is

positioned and reeled in correctly.

Never allow a child to travel on your lap.

General information

Maintenance

In accordance with current safety

regulations, for all repairs on your

vehicle's seat belts, 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.

This system contributes towards improving the

safety of passengers (with the exception of the

rear centre passenger) in the event of violent

collisions. The airbags supplement the action

of the seat belts fitted with force limiters (all

except the centre rear passenger belt).

If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors

record and analyse the front and side impacts

sustained in the impact detection zones:

Clean the seat belt straps with soapy

water or a textile cleaning product, sold by

CITROËN dealers.

A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.

in the event of a serious impact, the airbags

are deployed instantly and contribute

towards better protection of the passengers

(with the exception of the rear centre

passenger); immediately after the impact,

the airbags deflate rapidly so that they

do not hinder visibility or the exit of the

passengers,

The deployment of one or more airbags

is accompanied by a slight emission of

smoke and a noise, due to the detonation

of the pyrotechnic charge incorporated in

the system.

This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive

individuals may experience slight irritation.

The detonation noise associated with the

deployment of an airbag may result in

a slight loss of hearing for a short time.

In the event of an impact

Depending on the nature and

seriousness of the impact, the

pyrotechnic pretensioner 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 the case of a minor or rear impact or

in certain rollover conditions, the airbags

may not be deployed; the seat belt

alone contributes towards ensuring your

protection in these situations.

In all cases, the airbag warning lamp

comes on.

The airbags do not operate when the

ignition is switched off.

Following an impact, have the seat

belts system checked and, if necessary,

replaced, by a CITROËN dealer or

a qualified workshop.

This equipment will only deploy once. If

a second impact occurs (during the same

or a subsequent accident), the airbag will

not be deployed again.
