Deactivating the passenger's airbag


For information on deactivating the
airbag, refer to the "Airbags" section.



Passenger airbag OFF


Never install a rear ward-facing child
restraint system on a seat protected by
an active front airbag. This could cause
the death of the child or serious injury.
The warning label present on both sides of
the passenger's sun visor repeats this advice.
In line with current legislation, the following
two pages contain this warning in all of the
languages required.

The driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
restrained securely before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as
they will not fulfil their role fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
permitting automatic adjustment of the
length of the strap to your size. The seat belt
is stowed automatically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat
belt is reeled in correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fitted with an automatic
locking device which comes into operation in
the event of a collision, emergency braking
or if the vehicle rolls over. You can release
the device by pulling firmly on the strap and
releasing it so that it reels in slightly.
Recommendations for children

Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is
less than 12 years old or shorter than one
and a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure more
than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your lap. In order to be effective, a seat belt must:


- be tightened as close to the body as
possible,

- be pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it does not
twist,

- be used to restrain only one person,

- not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,

- not be converted or modified to avoid
affecting its per formance.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle,
go to a qualified workshop with the skills
and equipment needed, which a CITROËN
dealer is able to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop,
particularly if the straps show signs of
damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product, sold by
CITROËN dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned
and reeled in correctly.


In the event of an impact


Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impact
, the
pretensioning device may be deployed
before and independently of the airbags.
Deployment of the pretensioners is
accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat belts
system checked, and if necessary replaced,
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

189Safety
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

Front impact zone.

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 for ward 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.
Other wise, 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
"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.
