Deactivation
Only the passenger's front airbag can
be deactivated:


)
insert the key in the passenger air-
bag deactivation switch,

)
turn it to the "OFF"
position,

)
then, remove the key keeping the
switch in the new position.
According to version, this warn-
ing lamp comes on in the in-
strument panel and/or in the
seat belt and passenger's front
airbag warning lamps display when the
ignition is on and until the airbag is re-
activated. To assure the safety of your child,
the passenger's front airbag
must be deactivated when you
install a "rear facing" child seat
on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk
being seriously injured or killed if
the airbag were deployed.

Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, turn
the switch to the "ON"
position to re-
activate the airbag and so assure the
safety of your front passenger in the
event of an impact.
With the ignition on, this warn-
ing lamp comes on in the seat
belt and passenger's front air-
bag warning lamps display for
approximately one minute, if the pas-
senger's front airbag is activated.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel, accom-
panied by an audible warning
and the display of a message,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop to have the system checked.
The airbags may no longer be deployed
in the event of a serious impact.
If this warning lamp fl ashes in
the instrument panel and/or in
the seat belt and passenger's
front airbag warning lamps dis-
play, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop. The passenger's
front airbag may no longer be deployed
in the event of a serious impact.
If even one of the two airbag
warning lamps comes on contin-
uously, do not install a child seat
on the front passenger seat.
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

Lateral airbags

System which protects the driver and
front passenger in the event of a seri-
ous side impact in order to limit the risk
of injury to the chest, between the hip
and the shoulder.
Each lateral airbag is fi tted in the seat
backrest frame, door side.

Deployment
The lateral airbags are deployed uni-
laterally in the event of a serious side
impact applied to all or part of the side
impact zone B
, perpendicular to the
longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on
a horizontal plane and directed from
the outside towards the inside of the
vehicle.
The lateral airbag infl ates between the
hip and shoulder of the front occupant

Impact detection zones







Curtain airbags

System which protects the driver and
passengers (with the exception of the
rear centre passenger) in the event of a
serious side impact in order to limit the
risk of injury to the side of the head.
Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars
and the upper passenger compartment
area.
Deployment
The curtain airbag is deployed at the same
time as the corresponding lateral airbag in
the event of a serious side impact applied
to all or part of the side impact zone B
,
perpendicular to the longitudinal centreline
of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and di-
rected from the outside towards the inside
of the vehicle.
The curtain airbag infl ates between the
front or rear occupant of the vehicle and
the windows.

Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel, accompa-
nied by an audible signal and a
message in the screen, contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop to have the system checked. The
airbags may no longer be deployed in
the event of a serious impact.
In the event of a minor impact or
bump on the side of the vehicle
or if the vehicle rolls over, the air-
bag may not be deployed.
In the event of a rear or front
collision, the airbag is not de-
ployed.

SAFETY
141













For the airbags to be fully
effective, observe the
following safety rules:
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
hamper the operation of the air-
bags or injure the occupants.
After an accident or if the ve-
hicle has been stolen or broken
into, have the airbag systems
checked.
All work on the airbag system must
be carried out by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Even if all of the precautions men-
tioned are observed, a risk of in-
jury or of minor burns to the head,
chest or arms when an airbag is
deployed cannot be ruled out.
The bag infl ates almost instantly
(within a few milliseconds) then
defl ates within the same time dis-
charging the hot gas via openings
provided for this purpose.
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.
If possible, do not smoke 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.



Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats, compatible with the deployment the lateral
airbags. For information on the range of seat covers suitable for your vehicle, you
can contact a CITROËN dealer (see "Practical information - § Accessories").
Do not fi x or attach anything to the seat backs (clothing...). This could cause
injury to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.

Curtain airbags
Do not fi x or attach anything to the roof. This could cause injury to the head if the
curtain airbag is deployed.
If fi tted on your vehicle, do not remove the grab handles installed on the roof, they
play a part in securing the curtain airbags.
