Good practice
Sit in a normal upright position.
W ear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
d
o 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.
a
fter 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.
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.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.
d
o not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.
Front airbags
d
o not drive holding the steering wheel
by
its spokes or resting your hands on
the
centre part of the wheel.
d
o 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.
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
a
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. The
passenger's
front
airbag
must
be deactivated if a child seat is
installed
rearward
facing.

Curtain airbags
This is a system which protects the driver and passengers (with the
exception of the centre seat of row 2)
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.
Activation
It
is triggered 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 inflates between the
front or rear occupant of the vehicle
and
the windows.
Lateral airbags
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
backrest frame, on the door side.
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.Impact detection zones
