Airbags



Good practice

If your vehicle is fi tted with a front
passenger airbag, side airbags or
curtain airbags, observe this 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 hamper 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 of the CITROËN
network .
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 fascia.
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.

Side airbags


Only put approved covers on the seats.
These will not hinder infl ation of the
side airbags. Consult a
CITROËN
dealer.
Do not fi x or glue anything to the seat
backs. This could cause injury to the
chest or arms when the side airbag
infl ates.


Do not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.

Curtain airbags
Do not fi x or glue anything to the roof.
This could cause injury to the head
when the curtain airbag infl ates.
Do not remove the grab handles
installed on the roof, they play a part
in securing the curtain airbags.
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
triggered 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.

Child safety

ADVIC

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.
To protect young children from the
rays of the sun, fi t side blinds to
the rear windows.

CHILD MONITORING MIRROR

This mirror enables the driver or front
passenger to observe all the rear
seats.
Fitted on its own ball joint and able to
retract into its housing in the roof, it
provides a panoramic view of the rear
interior of the vehicle. 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 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.
To prevent accidental opening of the
doors, use the "Child Lock".
Take care not to open the rear windows
by more than one third.

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.
