workshop:

  they   must   not   show   any  
signs of wear

, cutting or fraying
and

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.

main
 
criteria when designing your vehicle,
the safety of your children also
depends

 
on
 
you.

the

 
following
 
recommendations:
-

regulations,

all children under the
age of 12 or less than one and
