SIDE AIRBAGS *
If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal, contact a CITROËN
dealer to have the system
checked. The airbags may
no longer be triggered in the event of
a serious impact.
Airbags malfunction
For the front and lateral
airbags to be fully effec-
tive, 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 airbags
(child, animal, object, ...).
This could hamper the operation
of the airbags or injure the occu-
pants.
●
All work on the airbag systems
is strictly prohibited unless it is
carried out by trained staff of the
CITROËN network.
●
After an accident or if the ve-
hicle has been stolen or broken
into, have the airbag systems
checked.
Front airbags
●
Do not drive holding the steer-
ing 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; de-
ployment 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.
Lateral airbags *
●
Only put approved covers on the
front seats. Consult a CITROËN
dealer.
●
Do not fi x or attach anything to
the front seat backs. This could
cause injury to the chest or arms
when the lateral airbag infl ates.
●
Do not sit with the upper part of
the body any nearer to the door
than necessary.
The side airbags are incorporated
into the front seat backs on the door
side.
The triggering of these airbags re-
quires a serious side impact applied
in the side impact zone B
, perpen-
dicular to the longitudinal centreline
of the vehicle, on a horizontal plane
and from the outside of the vehicle
towards the inside. The side airbag
infl ates between the front occupant
of the vehicle and the door trim pad.
It therefore limits the risk of injury to
the chest.
