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

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.
