Reactivation
These systems are reactivated au-
tomatically each time the ignition is
switched back on or from 30 mph
(50 km/h).
Press the "ESP OFF" button again
to reactivate them manually.
Operating fault
If this warning light comes
on, accompanied by an au-
dible signal and a message
on the multifunction display,
this indicates a malfunction of these
systems.
Have the systems checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
The ESP/ASR systems offer ex-
ceptional safety in normal driving,
but this should not encourage the
driver to take extra risks or drive at
high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation
of the manufacturer's recommen-
dations regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components,
the electronic components and the
CITROËN assembly and operation
procedures.
After an impact, have these sys-
tems checked by a CITROËN
dealer.

SEAT BELTS
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fi tted with
a pretensioning system and force
limiter.
This system improves safety in the
front seats in the event of a front
impact.
Depending on the seriousness of the
impact, the pretensioning system
instantly
tightens
the
seat
against the body of the occupant.
The pretensioning seat belts are
active when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pres-
sure of the seat belt against the
chest of the occupant, so increasing
his protection.
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 it is properly secured
and that the automatic locking
mechanism operates correctly
by pulling sharply on the belt
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 posi-
tioned 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.
