Airbags
Good practice
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child,
pet, object...). This could hinder the
operation of the airbags or injure the
occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system is strictly
forbidden unless it is carried out by
qualifi ed personnel at a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Even if all of the precautions
mentioned are observed, a risk of
injury or of minor burns to the head,
chest or arms when an airbag is
deployed cannot be ruled out. In fact,
the bag infl ates almost instantly (within
a few milliseconds) then defl ates within
the same time discharging the hot gas
via openings provided for this purpose.
Lateral airbags
Only put recommended covers on
the seats. These will not hinder
infl ation of the lateral airbags. Contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Do not fi x or attach anything to the 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.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on
the centre part of the wheel.
Do not allow passengers to place
their feet on the dashboard, they risk
serious injury if the airbag is deployed.
Smoke as little as possible as
deployment 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.
Airbags
only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
This equipment only operates once.
If a second impact occurs (during the
same or a subsequent accident),
the airbag will not operate.
The deployment of an airbag or airbags
is accompanied by a slight discharge
of harmless smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but
sensitive individuals may experience
some irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result
in a slight loss of hearing for a short
time.
It is imperative that the
passenger's airbag is deactivated
if a child seat is installed facing
rearwards. Refer to the "Children on
board" section of chapter 4.

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
The incorrect installation of a child seat
in a vehicle compromises the child's
protection in the event of an accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or
the child seat harnesses keeping the
slack
in relation to the child's body to a
minimum
, even for short journeys.
For optimum installation of the "forward
facing" child seat, ensure that the back
of the child seat is in contact with the
back of the vehicle's seat and that the
head restraint does not cause any
discomfort.
If the head restraint has to be removed,
ensure that it is stored or attached
securely to prevent it from being
thrown around the vehicle in the event
of sharp braking.
Children under the age of 10 must not
travel in the "forward facing" position
on the front passenger seat, unless
the rear seats are already occupied by
other children, cannot be used or are
absent.
Deactivate the passenger's airbag
when a "rear facing" child seat is
installed on the front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were to infl ate.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- one or more children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,
- a child or an animal in a vehicle
which is exposed to the sun, with
the windows closed,
- the keys within reach of children
inside the vehicle.
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must
be positioned on the child's shoulder
without touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
CITROËN recommends the use of a
booster seat which has a back, fi tted
with a seat belt guide at shoulder level.
CHILD LOCK
This prevents opening of the side
doors from the inside.
Manual mode
A label indicates the location of the
child lock.
- Open fully past the point of
resistance.
- Tilt the lever, located on the rear
section of the door.
Electric mode
With the ignition on, press this
button. The LED comes on.
Warning: this system is
independent of the central
locking control.
Always remove the ignition key when
leaving the vehicle, even for a short time.
It is advisable to check the activation of
the child lock each time the ignition is
switched on.
In the event of a serious impact the
electric child lock is deactivated
automatically.
To prevent accidental opening of the
doors, use the "Child Lock".
Take care not to open the rear windows
by more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays
of the sun, fi t side blinds to the rear
windows.

Changing a wheel
The temporary tyre repair kit consists
of a compressor and a bottle
(containing a sealant).
Using the kit
1.
Tick the defl ated wheel on the
speed limitation sticker then affi x
the sticker to the vehicle's steering
wheel to remind you that a wheel is
in temporary use.
2.
Clip the bottle 1
on the compressor 2
.
3.
Connect the bottle 1
to the valve of
the tyre to be repaired.
4.
Take care to unwind the
compressor pipe before connecting
it to the bottle.
5.
Connect the power lead to one of
the vehicle's 12 V sockets.
6.
Switch on the compressor by
pressing button A
until the tyre
pressure reaches 2.0 bars. If this
pressure cannot be reached,
the tyre cannot be repaired.
7.
Remove and store the compressor.
8.
Drive immediately, for a few miles
(kilometres), at reduced speed,
to fi ll the puncture.
9.
Adjust the pressure using the
compressor in accordance with the
recommendation for the vehicle and
check that the leak is fi lled correctly
(no further loss of pressure).
10.
Drive at reduced speed (50 mph
[80 km/h]). The tyre must be
examined and repaired by a
specialist as soon as possible. After use, the bottle can be stored in
a plastic bag, supplied in the kit, to
avoid staining your vehicle with traces
of fl uid.
Warning: the bottle of gel contains
ethylene-glycol, a product which
is harmful if swallowed and which
causes irritation to the eyes.
Keep it out of reach of children.
After use, do not discard the bottle into
the environment, take it to a CITROËN
dealer or to an specialised waste
disposal site.
Replacement bottles of sealant are
available from CITROËN dealers.
PUNCTURE REPAIR KIT
The kit is located in one of the two
storage compartments located under
the front seats.
Vehicles supplied with a temporary
puncture repair kit do not have a spare
wheel or tooling (jack, wheelbrace, ...).
