Airbags
System designed to maximise the safety of the occupants (with the exception of the rear centre passenger) in the event of violent collisions. The airbags supplement the action of the force-limiting seat belts (with the exception of the centre rear 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 airbags are deployed instantly and contribute towards better protection of the occupants of the vehicle (with the exception of the rear centre passenger); immediately after the impact, 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 certain 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 the same or a subsequent accident), the airbag will not be deployed again.
Deployment of the airbag(s) is accompanied by a slight emission of smoke and a noise, due to the activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in the system. This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive individuals may experience slight irritation. The noise of the detonation may result in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone. B. Side impact zone.
Front airbags
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the passenger's front airbag if it is deactivated, in the event of a serious front impact to all or part 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 thorax and head of the front occupant of the vehicle and the steering wheel, driver's side, and the dashboard, passenger's side to cushion their forward movement.
System which protects the driver and front passenger in the event of a serious front impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the head and thorax. The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.

Deactivation
Only the passenger's front airbag can be deactivated:
insert the key in the passenger airbag deactivation switch, turn it to the "OFF" position, then, remove the key keeping the switch in the new position.
According to version, this warning lamp comes on either in the instrument panel or in the seat belt and passenger's front airbag warning lamp display when the ignition is on and until the airbag is reactivated.
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, with the ignition off , turn the switch to the the ignition off , turn the switch to the the ignition off"ON" position to reactivate the airbag and so assure the safety of your front passenger in the
event of an impact.
With the ignition on, this warning lamp comes on in the seat belt and passenger's front airbag warning lamp display for approximately one minute, if the passenger's front airbag is activated.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible warning and a message in the instrument panel screen, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked. The airbags may no longer be deployed in the event of a serious impact.

Repair procedure
Switch off the ignition.
Uncoil the white pipe G fully. Unscrew the cap from the white pipe. Connect the white pipe to the valve of the tyre to be repaired.
Connect the compressor's electric plug to the vehicle's 12 V socket. Start the vehicle and leave the engine running.
Take care, this product is harmful (e.g. ethylene-glycol, colophony...) if swallowed and causes irritation to the eyes. Keep this product out of the reach of children.
Avoid removing any foreign bodies which have penetrated into the tyre.
1. Sealing
Turn the selector A to the "sealant" position. Check that the switch B is in position "O" .
The vehicle's electric system allows the connection of a compressor for long enough to inflate a tyre after a puncture repair or for inflating a small inflatable accessory.

Changing a wheel
The jack is stowed in a box attached to the spare wheel. The assembly is secured under the vehicle by means of a winch system. The other tools are stowed in a well under the f l o o r.
Access to the tools
T y r e u n d e r - i n fl a t i o n d e t e c t i o n
The spare wheel is not fitted with a sensor. The punctured wheel must be
repaired by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Before doing any work on your vehicle, switch off the ignition ( Ready lamp off) to avoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of the engine.
When using lifting equipment (a jack for example), take care to use the jacking points provided, so as to avoid damaging the high voltage cables.
Procedure for changing a faulty wheel for the spare wheel using the tools provided with the vehicle * .

Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not block traffic: the ground must be level, stable and not slippery. Apply the parking brake unless it has been programmed to automatic mode, switch off the ignition and engage first gear * to block the wheels. Check that the braking warning lamp and the P warning lamp in the parking brake control lever come on. The occupants must get out of the vehicle and wait where they are safe. Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a jack; use an axle stand.
Depending on equipment, remove the cover from from each of bolts using the tool 3 or remove the hub cap using tool 4 . Fit the security socket 5 on the wheelbrace 1 to slacken the security bolt (if fitted). Slacken the other bolts (no more than a 1/4 turn) using the wheelbrace 1 o n l y.
* Position R for an electronic gearbox; P for an automatic gearbox.

Front lamps
Model with xenon headlamps
1. Main beam headlamps (H1-35W).2. Directional dipped / directional
headlamps (D1S - 35 W ).3. Daytime running lamps / sidelamps (light emitting diodes - LEDs).4. Direction indicators (HY21-21W).5. Directional foglamps ( H11) .
Model with halogen headlamps

For H7 type bulbs with lugs... take care to observe their correct installation so as to ensure the best lighting per formance.
In some weather conditions (e.g. low temperature or humidity), the presence of misting on the internal sur face of the glass of the headlamps and rear lamps is normal; it disappears after the lamps have been on for a few minutes.
Risk of electrocution
Xenon bulbs (D1S-35W) must be replaced by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Before doing any work on your vehicle, switch off the ignition ( Ready lamp off) to avoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of the engine.

12 V battery
The presence of this label indicates the use of a 12 V lead-acid battery with special technology and specification, for which the involvement of a CITROËN dealer or qualified workshop is required when replacing or disconnecting the battery. Failure to observe this recommendation may cause premature wear of the battery.
The battery is located under the bonnet. To gain access to it: open the bonnet using the interior release lever, then the exterior safety catch, remove the plastic cover on the (+)
terminal, if necessary, unclip the fusebox to remove the battery.
Access to the battery
Raise the locking tab D fully to release the cable terminal clamp E .
Reconnecting the (+) cable
Position the open clamp E of the cable on the positive post (+) of the battery. Press vertically on the clamp E to position it correctly on the battery. Lock the clamp by spreading the positioning lug and then lowering the tab D .
Do not apply excessive force on the tab as locking will not be possible if the clamp is not positioned correctly; start the procedure again.
Before doing any work on your vehicle, switch off the ignition ( Ready lamp off) to avoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of the engine.
Your vehicle is fitted with a conventional 12 V battery, located under the bonnet, in addition to the high voltage battery used by the hybrid system. In certain conditions, if the 12 V battery is too discharged to activate the hybrid system, recharging from another conventional 12 V battery is possible. Do not carry out this recharge if the Readylamp is on.
Procedure for starting the engine using another battery or charging a discharged battery.
