occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
object...). This could hamper the operation of
the airbags or injure the occupants.

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
qualified 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. The
bag inflates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then deflates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via openings
provided for this purpose.Front airbags

spokes or resting your hands on the centre
part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.

can cause burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or
hit it violently.

wheel or dashboard, this could cause
injuries with deployment of the airbags.

backs (clothing...). This could cause injury
to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is
deployed.
