Seat Belts - CITROEN C4 PICASSO Handbook

Safety

Seat belts

Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a
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, so
improving their protection.

Seat belt reels with reversible
pretension
This system provides automatic adjustment of
the tension of the driver's and passenger's seat
belts after fastening, once the vehicle's speed
is above 6 mph (10 km/h).
In addition, as soon as the system detects
a potentially dangerous driving situation,
this system reacts by drawing in slack in
the belt, (for example, under heavy or sharp
braking or sudden avoiding manoeuvres). By
automatically increasing the tension of the
seat belts, the system holds the driver and
passenger against their seat backrests.
Once the driving situation returns to normal,
the belt reel is released: the belt tension returns
to the initial level of comfort.
Deactivation of the passenger's airbag
causes deactivation of the reversible
seat belt reel on the passenger's side.
