AIRBAGS
FRONT AIRBAGS
Front airbag fault
Flashing indicates an airbag fault, contact a CITROËN
d e a l e r o r a q u a l i fi e d w o r k -
shop to have the system
checked. The airbags may
no longer be deployed in the event of
a serious impact.
Note: the gas escaping from
the airbags can be a minor
irritant.
Immediately after the impact, the air-
b a g s d e fl a t e r a p i d l y s o t h a t t h e y d o
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.
Airbags only operate when the igni-tion is switched on. When they are
deployed, a noise is heard during
i n fl a t i o n .
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
The airbags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
in the event of serious collisions. They
work in conjunction with the force-
limiting seat belts. The electronic
detectors register and analyse any
abrupt deceleration of the vehicle in
the impact detection zones (see dia-
gram): if the deployment threshold is
r e a c h e d , t h e a i r b a g s i n fl a t e i n s t a n t l y

deployed simultaneously, except in cases
where the passenger's airbag is deacti-
vated, in the event of a serious front im-
pact applied in the impact zone

longitudinal centreline of the vehicle, on
a horizontal plane and from the front of
the vehicle towards the rear. The airbag

SAFETY
For the front, lateral and
curtain airbags to be fully
effective, observe the fol-
lowing safety rules:
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Sit in a normal upright position.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (child,
animal, object...). This could hamper
the operation of the airbags or injure
the occupants.
All work on the airbag 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 dealer network or a quali-
fi e d w o r k s h o p .
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
airbag systems checked. Front airbags
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 dashboard.
Smoke as little as possible; deploy-
ment of the airbags 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 airbags
D o n o t fi x o r a t t a c h a n y t h i n g t o t h e
pillars or the roof. This could cause
injury to the head when the curtain
a i r b a g i n fl a t e s .
The deployment of an airbag 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 deployed can-
not be ruled out. Indeed, the bag in-
fl a t e s a l m o s t i n s t a n t l y ( a p p r o x i m a t e l y

via the openings provided for this
purpose.
