safety rules:

occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
object...). This could hamper the operation of
the airbags or injure the occupants.

stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.

carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

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. 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.
