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 hinder 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 qualified
personnel at a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. Lateral airbags
Only put recommended covers on the seats.
These will not hinder inflation of the lateral
airbags. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backs. This could cause injury to the chest
or arms when the lateral airbag inflates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body
any nearer to the door than necessary.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on the
centre part of the wheel.
Do not allow passengers to place their feet
on the dashboard, they risk serious injury if
the airbag is deployed.
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.
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. In fact, 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. Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This
could cause injury to the head when the
curtain airbag inflates.
Do not remove the grab handles installed
on the roof, they play a part in securing the
curtain airbags.

Lateral airbags
If fitted on your vehicle, this is a system
which protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a serious side
impact in order to limit the risk of injury to
the chest.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the front seat
back frame, on the door side. Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone. If this warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the 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.
Deployment
It is deployed unilaterally in the event of a
serious side impact applied to all or part
of the side impact zone B , perpendicular
to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle
on a horizontal plane and directed from the
outside towards the inside of the vehicle.
The lateral airbag inflates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
corresponding door trim panel.
Curtain airbags
This is a system which protects the driver
and passengers (with the exception of the
centre seats of rows 2 and 3) in the event of
a serious side impact in order to limit the risk
of head injuries.
Each curtain airbag is incorporated in the
pillars and the upper part of the passenger
compartment.
Deployment
It is deployed at the same time as the
corresponding lateral airbag in the event of
a serious side impact applied to all or part
of the side impact zone B , perpendicular to
the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The curtain airbag infl ates between the front or
rear occupant of the vehicle and the windows.
In the event of a minor impact or bump
on the side of the vehicle or if the
vehicle rolls over, the airbag may not be
deployed.
The airbag is not deployed in the event of a
rear or front collision. Operating fault

GENERAL POINTS ON CHILD SEATS
"Rearward facing"
When a "rearward facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat, it is
essential that the passenger's front airbag is
deactivated. Otherwise, the child would risk
being seriously injured or even killed if the
airbag were deployed. "Forward facing"
When a "forward facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat, leave
the passenger's front airbag activated.
Installing a child seat at the front
The rules for carrying children are specific to
each country. Consult the current legislation
in your country.
Please consult the list of seats approved
in your country. The Isofix mountings, the
rear seats, the passenger airbag and the
deactivation of this airbag depend on the
version sold.
Although one of CITROËN's main criteria
when designing your vehicle, the safety of
your children also depends on you.
For maximum safety, please follow these
precautions:
- all children under the age of 12 or less
than one metre fifty tall must travel in
approved child seats suited to their
weight, on seats fitted with a seat belt or
ISOFIX mountings,
- statistically, the safest seats in your vehicle for the transportation of children
are the rear seats,
- a child weighing less than 9 kg must travel in the "rearward facing" position
both in the front and in the rear,
- the passenger must not travel with a child on their lap.
CITROËN recommends that children
should travel on the rear seats of your
vehicle:
- "rearward-facing" up to the age of 3,
- "forward-facing" over the age of 3. The child seats function and the
passenger's front airbag deactivation
function are common to the entire CITROËN
range.
If the passenger's front airbag is not
deactivated, the installation of a "rearward
facing" child seat in the front is strictly
prohibited.

DEACTIVATING THE PASSENGER'S FRONT AIRBAG
Never install a rearward facing child
restraint system on a seat protected by
an active front airbag. This could cause the
death of the child or serious injury.
Installation of a child seat at the rear
"Rearward facing"
When a "rearward facing" child seat is
installed on a rear passenger seat , move
the vehicle's front seat forwards and
straighten the backrest so that the "rearward
facing" child seat does not touch the
vehicle's front seat.
"Forward facing"
When a "forward facing" child seat is
installed on a rear passenger seat , move
the vehicle's front seat forwards and
straighten the backrest so that the legs of
the child in the "forward facing" child seat do
not touch the vehicle's front seat.
Ensure that the seat belt is correctly
tensioned.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure
that this is in firm contact with the floor.
If necessary, adjust the front seat of
the vehicle. The warning label present on both sides
of the passenger's sun visor repeats this
advice. In line with current legislation, the
following tables contain this warning in all of
the languages required.
Passenger airbag OFF
For information on deactivating the
passenger's front airbag, refer to the
"Airbags" section.

"ISOFIX" MOUNTINGS
The mountings comprise three rings for each
seat:
- two front rings A , located between the
vehicle seat backrest and cushion,
indicated by an "ISOFIX" marking,
- a rear ring B , located behind the
vehicle's seat, called the Top Tether, for
securing the upper strap, indicated by a
"Top Tether" marking.
Your vehicle has been approved to the latest
ISOFIX regulation.
If fitted on your vehicle, the regulation
ISOFIX mountings are located by labels. The Top Tether is sued to secure the upper
strap of child seats that have one. In the
event of a front impact, this system limits the
forward tipping of the child seat.
This ISOFIX mounting system provides fast,
reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in
your vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats are fitted with two
latches which are secured on the two front
rings
A . Some also have an upper strap which is
attached to the rear ring
B .
To secure the child seat to the Top Tether:
- remove and stow the head restraint before installing a child seat on this seat
(refit it once the child seat has been
removed),
- pass the child seat upper strap over the top of the seat backrest, between the
apertures for the head restraint rods,
- fix the hook on the end of the upper strap to the rear ring B ,
- tighten the upper strap.
The incorrect installation of a child seat
in a vehicle compromises the child's
protection in the event of an accident.
Observe strictly the fitting instructions
provided with the child seat.
For information on the possibilities for
installing ISOFIX child seats in your
vehicle, refer to the summary table.
