SAFETY
AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
in the event of serious collisions. They
work in conjunction with the force-lim-
iting seat belts. The electronic detec-
tors register and analyse any abrupt
deceleration of the vehicle in the im-
pact detection zones (see diagram):
if the triggering threshold is reached,

tect the occupants of the vehicle.
FRONT AIR BAGS
These are folded in the centre of the
steering wheel for the driver and in the
fascia for the front passenger. They
are deployed simultaneously, except in
cases where the passenger air bag is
disarmed, in the event of a serious front
impact applied in the impact zone A in
the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle,
on a horizontal plane and from the front
of the vehicle towards the rear. The air

of the vehicle and the fascia to cushion
his forward movement. The air bags
therefore limit the risk of injury to the
head and chest.
Front air bag malfunction
Flashing indicates an air
bag malfunction, contact a
CITROËN dealer to have
the system checked. The
air bags may no longer be
triggered in the event of a serious im-
pact
Note: the gas escaping from
the air bags can be a minor
irritant.
Immediately after the impact, the air

not hinder the visibility of the occu-
pants nor their exit if necessary from
the vehicle. The air bags are not de-
ployed in the case of minor impacts,
rear impacts or in certain roll-over
c o n d i t i o n s . T h e s e a t b e l t i s s u f fi c i e n t
to ensure maximum protection in
these situations. The seriousness of
a collision depends on the nature of
the obstacle and the speed of the ve-
hicle at the moment of the collision.
Air bags only operate when the ig-
nition is switched on. When they
are triggered, a noise is heard dur-
i n g i n fl a t i o n .

SAFETY
For the front, side and
curtain air bags to be fully
effective, observe the
following safety rules:
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Sit in a normal upright position.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the air bags (child,
animal, object...). This could hamper
the operation of the air bags or injure
the occupants.
All work on the air bag systems is
strictly prohibited unless it is car-
r i e d o u t b y q u a l i fi e d p e r s o n n e l o f t h e
CITROËN network.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
air bag systems checked. Front air bags
Do not drive holding the steering
wheel by its spokes or resting your
hands on the centre part of the
wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet
on the fascia.
Smoke as little as possible; deploy-
ment of the air bags can cause burns
or the risk of injury from a cigarette
or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering
wheel or hit it violently.
Curtain air bags

or the roof. This could cause injury to
the head when the curtain air bag in-
fl a t e s .
The triggering of an air bag or air
bags is accompanied by a slight
emission of harmless smoke and
a noise due to the activation of the
pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in
the system. This smoke is not harm-
ful but sensitive individuals may ex-
perience some irritation.
The detonation noise may result in
a slight loss of hearing for a short
time.
Even if all of the precautions men-
tioned are observed, injury or slight
burns to the head, chest or arms
when the air bag is triggered can-
not be ruled out. Indeed, the bag in-
