Front Seat Belts - CITROEN DS3 Owner's Handbook Manual

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 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.
Fastening
Pull the strap, then insert the tongue in the
buckle.
Check that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap.
Unfastening
Press the red button on the buckle.
Guide the seat belt as it is reeled in.
Seat belt not fastened/
unfastened warning lamp
When the ignition is switched on,
this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, if the driver and/or
the front passenger has not fastened
their seat belt.
From approximately 12 mph (20 km/h)
this warning lamp flashes for two minutes
accompanied by an audible signal of increasing
volume. Once these two minutes have elapsed,
this warning lamp remains on until the driver
and/or the front passenger fastens their
seat belt.
