Airbags


AIRBAGS

The airbags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants in the
event of a serious collision; they work in
conjunction with the force limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, the
electronic detectors record and analyse the
front and side impacts suffered in the impact
detection zones:


- in the event of a serious impact, the
airbags infl ate instantly and contribute
towards best protecting the occupants of
the vehicle. Immediately after the impact,
the airbags defl ate rapidly, so that they do
not hinder the visibility of the occupants
nor their possible exit from the vehicle.
- in the event of a minor or rear impact
and in certain roll-over conditions, the
airbags will not be deployed; the seat belt
alone contributes towards providing your
protection in these situations.
The seriousness of the collision depends on
the nature of the obstacle and the speed of
the vehicle at the moment of impact.
Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
This equipment only operates once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same or
a subsequent accident), the airbag will not
operate.
The deployment of an airbag or airbags is
accompanied by a slight discharge of smoke
and some noise, due to the activation of the
pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in the
system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience some irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.
It is imperative that the passenger
airbag is deactivated if a child seat is
installed facing rearwards. Refer to "Children
on board" in section 5.

Airbags



FRONT AIRBAGS

The front airbags are fitted in the centre of
the steering wheel for the driver and in the
dashboard for the front passenger.

Deployment
They are deployed simultaneously, unless
the passenger's front airbag has been
deactivated, in the event of a serious front
impact.
The front airbag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the dashboard
to cushion their forward movement.
Deactivation of the passenger's airbag
Only the passenger's front airbag can be
deactivated. The airbag is deactivated from
the trip computer.
The airbag warning lamp in the
instrument panel is on while the
airbag is deactivated. To assure the safety of your child, you
must deactivate the passenger airbag
when you install a reaward facing child seat
on the front passenger seat. Otherwise, the
child would risk being killed or seriously
injured if the airbag were to inflate.

Refer to the "MENU" section of
chapter 3, then select OFF
on the
"Passenger airbag" menu.
Operating fault


If the two airbag warning lamps are on
continuously, do not install a rearward
facing child seat.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
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 without delay to have the system
checked. The airbags may no longer be
deployed in the event of a serious impact.

CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT *


"Rearward-facing"


When a "rearward-facing" child
seat is installed on the front
passenger seat
, adjust the seat
to the intermediate longitudinal
and highest position, with the backrest
straightened.
The passenger airbag must be deactivated.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were to inflate
.


*
Refer to the current legislation in your
country before installing a child seat on
this seat.


"Forward-facing"


When a "forward-facing" child
seat is installed on the front
passenger seat
, adjust the
vehicle's seat to the intermediate
longitudinal and highest position with
seat backrest straightened and leave the
passenger's airbag activated.

Ensure that the seat belt is correctly
tensioned.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure
that the support leg is in stable contact with
the floor. If necessary, adjust the passenger
seat.
To deactivate or activate the passenger
airbag, refer to Chapter 3, "MENU".
The child seat function is shared by the
entire CITROËN range. However, each
individual model has its own special
features.
If your vehicle is fitted with this function, the
passenger airbag must be deactivated using
the trip computer MENU button.
If your vehicle is not fitted with the
passenger airbag deactivation function,
the installation of a "rearward facing" child
seat on the vehicle's front seat is strictly
prohibited.
The passenger must not travel with a child
on their lap.

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS


Installing a booster seat

Children at the front

The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's protection in
the event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle under the child seat, as this could
destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harnesses keeping the slack
relative to the child's body to a minimum,
even for short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened
correctly on the child seat and that it secures
the child seat firmly on the seat of your
vehicle. If your passenger seat is adjustable,
move it forwards if necessary.
At rear seating positions, always leave
sufficient space between the front seat and:


- a "rearward facing" child seat,

- the child's feet for a child seat fitted
"forward facing".
The legislation on carrying children on the
front passenger seat is specific to each
country. Refer to the legislation in force in
your country.
Deactivate the passenger airbag when a
"rearward-facing" child seat is installed on
the front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag were
to inflate.

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, fitted with a seat belt
guide at shoulder level.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:


- a child or 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
and rear windows, use the "Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays of
the sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.
To do this, move the front seat forwards
and, if necessary, move its backrest into the
upright position.
For optimum installation of the "forward-
facing" child seat, ensure that the back of
the child seat is as close as possible to the
backrest of the vehicle's seat, in contact if
possible.
You mst remove the head restraint before
installing a child seat with backrest to a
passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from being
thrown around the vehicle in the event of
sharp braking. Refit the head restraint when
the child seat is removed.
