GENERAL INFORMATION
Your vehicle may have:
- A driver’s airbag located in the steering wheel, under the central cover.
- A knees airbag under the steer-ing column.
- A passenger's airbag in the dashboard.
- Two side airbags located in the backrests of the driver’s seat and front passenger’s seat (door side).
- Two curtain airbags located on the interior edges of the roof.
- Two rear side airbags located door side in the backrests of the rear RH and LH seats.
The control unit for the airbags and sensors analyses any fron-tal and lateral impacts suffered in the collision detection zones (see illustration). According to the de-gree of seriousness of impacts, it determines:
- Whether the seat belt is suffi cient to protect you (Slight impact).
- Whether the seat belt preten-sioner needs to be additionally actioned in order to hold you in your seat (Medium impact).
- Whether the airbag should be deployed in addition to the two initial systems (Violent impact).
Each time you switch on the igni-tion, a warning lamp in the dash-board lights up for a few seconds and then goes out.
Consult a CITROËN dealer in the following situations:
- The warning lamp fl ashes for a few minutes then remains on.
- The warning lamp does not light up.
- A message appears on the dis-play.

The wearing of seat belts is compulsory for all vehicle occupants. Inside the cab-in, the seat belt is the most impor-tant protection for passengers.
The airbag is a protection in addi-tion to the seat belt. Its effective-ness requires the seat belt to be worn correctly.
The driver and passengers must adopt a normal, vertical sitting position that is compatible with deployment of the airbags.
Never attach anything to the steering wheel central cover, to the sides of the front seats or to the vehicle pillars or roof (risk of injuries should the airbags de-ploy).
Do not smoke in the vehicle (risk of burns or injury should the air-bag be deployed.
Do not leave any accessory or object on the dashboard or be-tween your body and the airbag (risk of malfunction or personal injury).

Do not put your feet on the dash-board (risk of injury should the front passenger airbag deploy).
The airbags do not deploy in the case of a slight collision or an im-pact at the rear of the vehicle or in certain manoeuvring conditions.
The deployment of one or more airbags is accompanied by a small release of unharmful smoke, as well as by a detonation that is caused by the activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge integral to the system. This smoke is not toxic but may be an irritant to per-sons who are sensitive.
The noise of the detonation may affect hearing for a brief time.
Vacate the vehicle as soon as possible after the accident (pro-vided it is safe to do so). If this is not possible, open the windows or doors.
Even observing all the advised precautions, the risk of injury or slight burning to the head, chest or arms during deployment of an airbag cannot be ruled out. In fact, infl ation of the airbag is virtually instantaneous (approx. 30 milliseconds); then it defl ates in the same time, emitting hot gases through holes provided for this purpose.
This equipment works only once. If there is a further impact (dur-ing the same accident or a sub-sequent accident), the airbag will not deploy again.
After the airbags have deployed, the pyrotechnic systems have to be changed in strict compliance with the manufacturer’s specifi -cations.

GENERAL POINTS ON CHILD
SEATS
CITROËN offers you a complete range of child seats that can be secured by means of the vehicle seat belt.

They have also been selected for their ease of installation as well as for the comfort of the child.
In all cases, be sure to follow the child seat fi tting instructions as de-tailed in the installation manual pro-vided by the seat manufacturer.
GROUP 0+: from birth to 13 kg (around 1 year old)
In the front passenger seat posi-tion, it is essential to deactivate the front airbag. Otherwise the child risks being killed or seriously injured should the airbag deploy.

GROUPS 1/2/3 (from 9 to 36 kg)
Kiddy Life(L4): for use with a three-point seat belt. The height and width of the backrest as well as the length of the seat cushion should be adjusted as a function of the age and girth of your child. For the safety of young children (from 9 to 18 kg), CITROËN rec-For the safety of young children For the safety of young children
ommends you to use the protec-tion apron.
Other child seats are recommend-ed : see ISOFIX child seats in the handbook. See “Child restraints”.The majority of serious injuries resulting from accidents occur when a child either is not secured or is secured incorrectly.

GROUPS 2/3 (from 15 to 36 kg)

Regulations for the carriage of children in the front passenger seat position
If the child is travelling in a rear-facing child seat, it is essential to deactivate the passenger's front airbag. Otherwise the child risks being killed or seriously injured should the airbag deploy.
In the front passenger's seat, chil-dren less than 10 years of age must not be carried “forward-fac-ing”, except if:
- The rear seats are occupied by other children.
- The rear seats cannot be used (if they are folded or not present).
If your child is travelling forward-facing in the front passenger seat position, slide the front passenger seat to an intermediate position and leave the airbag activated.
For maximum safety, consult the relevant authority in your country to know the rules for transporting children, and observe the following rec-ommendations :
- Children should not be left alone in the vehicle.
- In accordance with the European Directive, all children under the age of 12 or smaller than 1.5 metres must be carried in approved child seats adapted for their age and weight, in seat positions equipped with a seat belt or ISOFIX anchoring points. Check that the child seat is in compliance with current legislation, ensuring that it bears an orange label featuring the range of weights for which it is suitable as well as its approval number.
- It is compulsory for a child weighing less than 9 kg to be trans-ported in the rear-facing position.
- Statistically, the safest seats for the carrying of children are the rear seats.
CITROËN recommends that you install your child in the rear of t he vehicle, even when using a rear-facing child seat.
- Children must not under any pretext be carried on the knees of a pas-senger (risk of being thrown against the dashboard or windscreen in the event of a collision).
- Children must not be allowed to stand between the backrests of the front seats (risk of being thrown forwards in the event of sudden brak-ing or a collision).
- The rear doors are fi tted with a «Child Safety» locking device. This still allows the doors to be opened from the outside unless they h ave been centrally locked.
Each time you switch on the ignition, check that this device i s acti-vated.
- Never leave a child in a vehicle which is exposed to sunshine.
- Before opening a door, ensure that it is safe to do so.
- When leaving your vehicle, remove the ignition key and fi rmly a pply the parking brake.
- Do not leave the key in the vehicle, as children could lock themselves in using the remote control or by pressing the central locking b utton.
