Fastening
Pull the belt down in front of you in a
steady movement, making sure that
it does not become twisted.
Press the fastening into its buckle.
Check that the seat belt has fas-
tened correctly and that the auto-
matic reel lock is working correctly
by pulling the strap.
The abdominal part of the strap
should be positioned as low down
as possible in the lap and as tight
as possible.
The chest part should be positioned
if possible in the channel of the
shoulder.
Each belt has a reel that adjusts its
length automatically to the girth of
the seat occupant.

Unfastening
Press the red button on the buckle
to unfasten the belt.
The belt retracts automatically when
not in use.
Recommendations
To be effective, a seat belt:
• Must be able to restrain a single
person of adult size.
• Must not bear any signs of being
cut or frayed.
Do not swap buckles, as then they
would not fulfil their proper roles.
Before and after use, make sure that
the belt is correctly retracted.
If the seats have armrests, the
central part of the belt should pass
underneath.
• Always adjust your seat belt while the vehicle is stationary.
• The driver must ensure that all the passengers have correctly
fastened their seat belts.
Do not pass the belt over hard or breakable objects that you
•
may have in your pockets.
Never use clamps or clips to loosen your seat belt.
•
Never carry a child on your knee.
•
Regularly check the condition and cleanliness of the seat belts. See
•
"Maintenance".
• Have the seat belts checked periodically by a CITROËN dealer as
well as after any accident, even a minor one.
Positioning of the belt 
recommended for pregnant
women
Position the lower part of the belt
as low down as possible on the lap,
so that it exerts no pressure on the
abdomen.
