SAFETY
Disarming the passenger air
bag
To ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to disarm the pas-
senger air bag when you install
a "rear-facing" child seat on the
front passenger seat. Otherwise,
the child would risk being seri-
ously injured or killed if the air bag
w e r e t o i n fl a t e .
With the ignition switched off,
insert the key into the passenger
air bag disarming switch 1 , turn
it to the "OFF" position, then
remove the key keeping the
switch in this position.
In the "OFF" position, the passen-
ger air bag will not be triggered in the
event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the air bag switch to the "ON"
position to re-activate the air bag and
thus ensure the safety of your pas-
senger in the event of an impact. If the passenger air bag is
disarmed, the warning light
on the instrument panel re-
mains on until the passenger
air bag is reactivated.

the front or rear occupant and the
windows. It therefore limits the risk of
head injuries. In the event of a minor
impact or bump on the side of the ve-
hicle or if the vehicle rolls over, the
air bag may not be triggered. The air
bag is not triggered in the event of a
front or rear collision.
Flashing indicates a mal-
function of at least one of
these air bags.
Contact a CITROËN dealer
to have the system checked.
The air bags may no longer be triggered
in the event of a serious impact.

SIDE AIR BAGS * AND CURTAIN AIR BAGS *
The side air bags are incorporated
into the front seat backs on the door
side.
The triggering of these air bags re-
quires a serious side impact applied
in the side impact zone B , perpen-
dicular to the longitudinal centreline
of the vehicle, on a horizontal plane
and from the outside of the vehicle
towards the inside. The side air bag

It therefore limits the risk of injury to
the chest.
The rear side air bags afford the rear
passengers the same protection
which the front side air bags offer the
front passengers.
The curtain air bags are incorporated
in the headlining.

systems, the use of additives

Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes. The maximum
consumption is 0.5 l per 600 miles
(1 000 km).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the dipstick.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can op-
erate with the ignition key removed
and because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
