airbag is reactivated.
To ensure the safety of your child,
it is imperative that the passenger

ing seriously injured or killed if the
airbag were triggered. Activation

reactivate the airbag and so ensure
the safety of your front passenger in
the event of an impact.

warning and a message on
the multifunction screen, contact a

longer be triggered in the event of a
serious impact.
Only the front passenger's airbag
can be deactivated:
with the ignition off , insert the
key in the passenger airbag de-
activation switch 1 ,
turn it to the "OFF" position,
then, remove the key keeping
the switch in this position. I f t h i s w a r n i n g l a m p fl a s h e s ,

If both airbag warning lamps come
on continuously, do not install a
"rearwards-facing" child seat on
the front passenger seat.
Have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer.
