Airbags
Front airbags

System which protects the driver and frontpassenger in the event of a serious front impact
in order to limit the risk of injury to the head and chest.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag isfitted in the dashboard above the glove box.

Deployment

The airbags are deployed, except for thepassenger's front airbag if it is deactivated,
in the event of a serious front impact applied
to all or par t of the front impact zone A
, in
the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from the front to
the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the dashboard to cushion their forward movement.

Impact detection zones
A.
Front impact zone. B.
Side impact zone. S
ystem designed to maximise the safety of the
occupants (with the exception of the rear centrepassenger) in the event of violent collisions.
The airbags supplement the action of the force-
limitin
g seat belts (with the exception of the rear centre passenger).
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 airbagsare deployed instantly and contribute
towards better protection of the occupants
o
f the vehicle (with the exception of the rear centre passenger); immediately after theimpact, the airbags deflate rapidly so that
they do not hinder visibility or the exit of the
occupants,
- in the case of a minor or rear impact
or in cer tain roll-over conditions, the
airbags will not be deployed; the seat belt alone contributes towards ensuring your protection in these situations.
The airbags do not operate when the ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only deploy once. If a second impact occurs (during thesame or a subsequent accident), theairbag will not be deployed again.
Deployment of the airbag(s) is accompanied by a slight emission of smoke and a noise, due to theactivation of the pyrotechnic cartridgeincorporated in the system.This smoke is not harmful, but sensitiveindividuals may experience slight irritation. The noise of the detonation may result in a slight loss of hearing for a shorttime.

Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on the centre partof 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 aCITROËN dealer.Refer to the "Accessories" section. Do not fix or attach anything to the seat backs (clothing...). This could cause injury to the chestor arms if the lateral airbag is deployed.Do not sit with the upper par t of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This could cause injury to the head if the cur tain airbag is deployed.If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the grab handles installed on the roof, they play a par t in securing the cur tain airbags.


Do not leave anything between theoccupants and the airbags (a child, pet, object...). This could hamper the operation of the airbags or injure the occupants. After an accident or if the vehicle has beenstolen or broken into, have the airbagsystems checked. All work on the airbag system must be carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Even if all of the precautions mentionedare obser ved, a risk of injury or of minor burns to the head, chest or arms when an airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out. Thebag inflates almost instantly (within a fewmilliseconds) then deflates within the sametime discharging the hot gas via openings provided for this purpose.
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the followingsafety rules:

Sit in a normal upright position. Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
