CHILD SAFETY


Passenger airbag OFF


Refer to the advice given on the label
present on both sides of the passenger's
sun visor.


To assure the safety of your child, you must deactivate the passenger's
front airbag when you install a child seat in the rearwards facing position
on the front passenger's seat.
Otherwise, there is a risk that the child could be seriously injured or killed
if the airbag were deployed.

SAFETY




The driver must ensure that passen-
gers use the seat belts correctly and
that they are all restrained securely
before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the ve-
hicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even for short journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt
buckles as they will not fulfi l their
role fully.
The seat belts are fi tted with an
inertia reel permitting automatic
adjustment of the length of the strap
to your size. The seat belt is stowed
automatically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the
seat belt is reeled in correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the
pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned
in the hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fi tted with an
automatic locking device which
comes into operation in the event
of a collision, emergency braking or
if the vehicle rolls over. You can re-
lease the device by pulling fi rmly on
the strap and releasing it so that it
reels in slightly. In order to be effective, a seat belt
must:


- be tightened as close to the body
as possible,

- be pulled in front of you with a
smooth movement, checking
that it does not twist,

-
be used to restrain only one person,

- not bear any trace of cuts or
fraying,

- not be converted or modifi ed to
avoid affecting its performance.
Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the pas-
senger is less than 12 years old or
shorter than one and a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to se-
cure more than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on
your lap.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all repairs on your
vehicle, go to a qualifi ed workshop
with the skills and equipment need-
ed, which a CITROËN dealer is able
to provide.
Have your seat belts checked reg-
ularly by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop, particularly if the
straps show signs of damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product,
sold by CITROËN dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt
is positioned and reeled in correctly.
In the event of an impact

Depending on the nature and se-
riousness of the impact
, the pre-
tensioning device may be deployed
before and independently of the
airbags. Deployment of the preten-
sioners is accompanied by a slight
discharge of harmless smoke and
a noise, due to the activation of the
pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated
in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat
belts system checked, and if neces-
sary replaced, by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.

SAFETY

AIRBAGS



System designed to maximise the
safety of the occupants (with the
exception of the rear centre pas-
senger) in the event of violent col-
lisions. It supplements the action of
the force-limiting seat belts.
If a collision occurs, the electronic
detectors record and analyse the
front and side impacts sustained in
the impact detection zones:


- in the case of a serious impact,
the airbags are deployed instant-
ly and protect the occupants of
the vehicle (with the exception of
the rear centre passenger); im-
mediately after the impact, the
airbags defl ate rapidly so that
they do not hinder visibility or the
exit of the occupants,

- in the case of a minor or rear im-
pact or in certain roll-over con-
ditions, the airbags will not be
deployed; the seat belt alone
is suffi cient to provide optimum
protection in these situations.

The airbags do not operate when
the ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only operate
once. If a second impact occurs
(during the same or a subsequent
accident), the airbag will not operate.
Impact detection zones


A.
Front impact zone.

B.
Side impact zone. Deployment of the airbag(s) is ac-
companied 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 harmful, but sen-
sitive individuals may experience
slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may
result in a slight loss of hearing for
a short time.

SAFETY






Front airbags

System which protects the head and chest of the driver and front passen-
ger in the event of a front impact.
The driver's airbag is fi tted in the
centre of the steering wheel; the
front passenger's airbag is fi tted in
the dashboard above the glove box.

Deployment

The airbags are deployed simultane-ously, unless the passenger's front
airbag is deactivated, in the event of
a serious front impact to all or part of
the front impact zone A
, in the lon-
gitudinal centreline of the vehicle on
a horizontal plane and directed from
the front to the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag infl ates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
dashboard to cushion their forward
movement.


Deactivation
This warning lamp comes on
in the roof console screen
when the ignition is on and
until the airbag is reactivated.
To assure the safety of your child,
the passenger's airbag must be
deactivated when you install a
"rearwards-facing" child seat on
the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk be-
ing seriously injured or killed if the
airbag were deployed.
Activation
When you remove the child seat,
turn switch 1
to the "ON"
position to
reactivate the airbag and so assure
the safety of your front passenger in
the event of an impact.

Operating fault

If this symbol appears in the
instrument panel screen,
accompanied by an audible
warning and a message,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop to have the sys-
tem checked. The airbags may no
longer be deployed 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. If this warning lamp fl ashes,
contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
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 or a qualifi ed workshop.
