Airbags
System designed to contribute towards improving the safety of the occupants (with
t
he exception of the rear centre passenger)
i
n the event of violent collisions. The airbags
s
upplement the action of the force-limiting
s
eat belts (with the exception of the centre rear
p
assenger).
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record
and analyse the front and side impacts
s
ustained in the impact detection zones:
-
i
n the case of a serious impact, the airbags
a
re deployed instantly and contribute
towards better protection of the occupants
of
the vehicle (with the exception of the
r
ear centre passenger); immediately after
t
he impact, the airbags deflate rapidly so
t
hat they do not hinder visibility or the exit
o
f the occupants,
-
i
n the case of a minor or rear impact or in
c
ertain roll-over conditions, the airbags
m
ay not be deployed; the seat belt
a
lone contributes towards ensuring your
p
rotection in these situations.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. S ide impact zone.
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.
This
equipment
will
only
deploy
once.
I
f
a
second
impact
occurs
(during
the
s
ame
or
a
subsequent
accident),
the
a
irbag
will
not
be
deployed
again.
Deployment of one or more of the
a
irbags is accompanied by a slight
e
mission of smoke and a noise, due
t
o the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge
incorporated in the system.
This
smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
i
ndividuals may experience slight
ir
ritation.
The noise of detonation related to the
deployment
of one or more airbags may
r
esult in a slight loss of hearing for a
s
hort time.

Deactivation
Only the passenger's front airbag can be deactivated:
F
i
nsert the key in the passenger airbag
d
eactivation switch,
F
t
urn it to the "OFF" position,
F
t
hen, remove the key keeping the switch in
t

l
amp comes on in the instrument
p
anel and/or in the seat belt and
p
assenger's front airbag warning
l
amps display when the ignition is on
a
nd until the airbag is reactivated.
Front airbags
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the passenger's front airbag if it is deactivated, in the e
vent of a serious front impact to all or part of the
f
ront impact zone A,
in the longitudinal centreline
o
f the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed
from
the front to the rear of the vehicle.
The
front airbag inflates between the thorax and
h
ead of the front occupant of the vehicle and the
steering
wheel, driver's side, and the dashboard,
p
assenger's side to cushion their for ward
m
ovement. To assure the safety of your child,
the
passenger's front airbag must
b
e deactivated when you install a
"rear facing" child seat on the front
p
assenger
sea
t.
Other wise, the child would risk being
s
eriously injured or killed if the airbag
w
ere deployed.
System which protects the driver and front
p
assenger in the event of a serious front impact
i
n order to limit the risk of injury to the head and
t
horax.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
s
teering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is
f
itted in the dashboard above the glove box.
Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, turn the s
witch to the "ON" position to reactivate the
airbag
and so assure the safety of your front
p
assenger in the event of an impact.
With the ignition on, this warning lamp comes on in the seat belt and p
assenger's front airbag warning lamps
d
isplay for approximately one minute, if
t
he passenger's front airbag is activated.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, contact a CITROËN d
ealer or a qualified workshop to have
t
he system checked. The airbags may
n
o longer be deployed in the event of a
s
erious
im
pact.
