AIRBAGS
General information
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   inflate   instantly   and  
contribute towards better protecting
the occupants of the vehicle;
immediately

  after   the   impact,   the  
airbags

  deflate   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 is
sufficient
  to   contribute   towards   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.

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

  impact.
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.

front  impact   applied   to   all   or   part   of   the  
front

  impact   zone   A in the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal
plane
  directed   from   the   front   towards  
the

Front airbag fault
To ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to deactivate the
passenger's front airbag when you
install a rearward facing child seat on
the
  front   passenger   seat.   Otherwise,  
the

  child   would   risk   being   killed   or  
seriously

  injured   if   the   airbag   were  
deployed.Reactivation
In the

"OFF" position, the passenger's
front airbag will not be deployed in the
event   of   an   impact.
As   soon   as   the   child   seat   is   removed,  
turn the passenger's front airbag switch
to the

"ON" position to reactivate the
airbag and thus ensure the safety
of your passenger in the event of an
impact.

ISOFIx MOUNTINGS
Your vehicle has been approved in
accordance  with   the   latest   ISOFIX   regulation.
The
  mountings   comprise   three   rings   for   each
 seat.
Two front rings A, located between
the  vehicle   seat   backrest   and   cushion,  
indicated

  by   a   marking.
a rear ring
B,   located   on   the   back  
of

  the   vehicle's   seat   backrest,   for  
securing the upper strap referred to as
the

 
T
op  
T
ether.
The Top Tether is used to secure the
upper strap of child seats that have
one.  
This
  arrangement   limits   the  
forward tipping of the child seat in the
event

  of   a   frontal   impact.
This   ISOFIX   mounting   system  
guarantees you 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.Follow strictly the instructions for
fitting
  child   seats   contained   in   the  
manufacturer's

  installation   guide.
To secure the child seat to the
Top Tether:
-  
remove
  and   stow   the   head   restraint  
before installin

g the child seat in
this   seating   position   (refit   it   once  
the

  child   seat   has   been   removed),
-
pass the upper strap of the child
seat over the top of the seat
backrest,

  between   the   apertures   for  
the head restraint rods,
-
 
secure
  the   hook   on   the   upper   strap  
to the rear ring,
-
 
tighten
  the   upper   strap.
The incorrect installation of a child
seat   in   a   vehicle   compromises   the  
protection of the child in the event
of

  an   accident.
Refer   to   the   table   for   information   on  
the installation of IS

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
At the rear, always leave sufficient space  between   the   front   seat   and:
-

a rearward facing child seat,
-


the feet of a child seated in a
forward

  facing   child   seat.
For
  this,   move   the   front   seat   forward  
and, if necessary

, straighten its
backrest
  as   well.
The incorrect installation of a child seat
in
  a   vehicle   compromises   the   child's  
protection

  in   the   event   of   an   accident.
Check   that   there   is   no   seat   belt   or   seat  
belt

  buckle   under   the   child   seat,   as   this  
could

  destabilise   the   seat.
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.
For the installation of a child seat using
the seat belt, ensure that the seat belt
is well tensioned on the child seat
and that it is holding the child seat
firmly   against   the   vehicle's   seat.   If   the  
passenger

  seat   is   adjustable,   move   it  
forward

  if   necessary. For   the   optimum   installation   of   a  
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,

  or   in   contact   if   possible.
The   head   restraint   must   be   removed  
before installin

g a child seat with a
backrest   on   the   passenger   seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is
stowed or attached securely so that it
is not thrown around the vehicle in the
event   of   sharp   braking.
Refit   the   head   restraint   as   soon   as   the  
child

  seat   is   removed.Children at the front
The legislation on carrying a child on
the
  front   passenger   seat   is   specific   to  
each

  country.   Refer   to   the   legislation   in  
force

  in   your   country.
d

eactivate the passenger's 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

  deployed.
Installing a booster seat
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,   never   leave:
-
 
one
  or   more   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,
  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   to   the   rear  
windows.
For an installation in row 3, put the
backrests

 
of
 
the
 
outer
 
and
 
centre
 seats in row 2 in the table position, or
remove
 
these
 
seats
 
in
 
row
 
2,
 
so
 
that
 
the child seat or the child's legs do not
touch

 
the
 
seats
 
in
 
row
 
2.
