Never leave accumulations of snow or any   object   projecting   above   the   bonnet  
o

r   in   front   of   the   roof:   this   might   fall   into  
t

he   field   of   vision   of   the   sensor   and  
g

enerate   a   detection.
Operating limits
The system  o nly  d etects  v ehicles  (cars,  lorries) t
hat   are   stationary   or   moving   in   the   same  
d

irection   as   your   vehicle. In
  difficult   weather   conditions   (very  
h

eavy   rain,   snow,   fog,   hail...),   braking  
d

istances   increase,   which   can   reduce  
t

he   ability   of   the   system   to   avoid   a  
c

ollision.
The
  driver   must   therefore   remain  
par

ticularly
 v
igilant.
The
  system   is   not   triggered   or   is   interrupted   if  
t

he
 d
river:
-
 
a
ccelerates   strongly   (even   if   the   speed  
l

imiter   is   on),
-
 
o
r   turns   the   steering   wheel   suddenly  
(

avoiding
 m
anoeuvre).
Detection
  capability   is   less   effective   if:
-
 
y
ou   are   driving   on   roads   with   pronounced  
b

ends   and/or   on   roads   in   poor   condition,
-
 
y
our   vehicle   is   excessively   loaded,   as  
t

his   changes   the   horizontal   attitude   of   the  
v

ehicle.
-
 
y
our   vehicle   skids.
It
  does   not   detect   small   vehicles  
(

bicycles,   motorcycles),   pedestrians   or  
a

nimals,   nor   non-reflective   stationary  
ob

jects.Unwanted triggering of the system
It is possible for the system to detect a risk of imminent   collision   and   start   working,   in   the  
fo

llowing
 c
onditions
 in par
ticular:
-
 
d
etection   of   an   object   located   close   to   the  
e

dge   of   the   road   entering   a   corner   (safety  
b

arrier,   lamp   post   or   road   sign),
-
 
d
etection   of   a   structure   located   at   the   top  
o

r   bottom   of   a   steep   slope   (advertising  
h

oarding,   steet   lighting),
-
 
d
etection   of   reflective   objects   (central  
r

eservation...)   in   the   road,
-
 
d
etection   of   the   upper   bar   of   a   bridge   or   a  
t

raffic   light   gantry,
-
 
p
assing   a   vehicle   travelling   in   the   other  
d

irection   in   a   corner,
-
 
p
assing   a   vehicle   traveling   in   the   other  
d

irection,   at   a   crossroads,   when   your  
v

ehicle   is   turning   left   or   right,
-
 
i
f   the   vehicle   ahead   of   you   sends   up   water  
o

r snow,
-
 
i
f   your   vehicle   stops   very   close   to   an  
ov

erhanging   wall   or   other   vehicles,
-
 
w
hen   your   vehicle   closes   rapidly   on   the  
v

ehicle

-
 
i
f   the   vehicle   is   raised   or   lowered,

Sit in a normal upright position.
W ear   a   correctly   adjusted   seat   belt.
Do
  not   leave   anything   between   the  
o

ccupants   and   the   airbags   (a   child,   pet,  
o

bject...),   nor   fix   or   attach   anything   close   to  
t

he   inflation   trajectory   of   the   airbags;   this  
c

ould   cause   injuries   during   their   deployment.
Never
  modify   the   original   definition   of   your  
v

ehicle,   particularly   in   the   area   directly  
a

round   the   airbags.
After
  an   accident   or   if   the   vehicle   has   been  
s

tolen   or   broken   into,   have   the   airbag  
s

ystems   checked.
All
  work   on   the   airbag   system   must   be  
c

arried   out   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified
 w
orkshop.
Even
  if   all   of   the   precautions   mentioned  
a

re   observed,   a   risk   of   injury   or   of   minor  
b

urns   to   the   head,   chest   or   arms   when   an  
a

irbag   is   deployed   cannot   be   ruled   out.   The  
b

ag   inflates   almost   instantly   (within   a   few  
m

illiseconds)   then   deflates   within   the   same  
t

ime   discharging   the   hot   gas   via   openings  
p

rovided   for   this   purpose.Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes   or   resting   your   hands   on   the   centre  
p

  not   smoke   as   deployment   of   the   airbags  
c

an   cause   burns   or   the   risk   of   injury   from   a  
c

igarette   or   pipe.
Never
 

remove
 
or

the
 
steering
 
wheel
 
or
 h

it   it   violently.
Do
  not   fit   or   attach   anything   to   the   steering  
w

heel   or   dashboard,   this   could   cause  
i

njuries   with   deployment   of   the   airbags.
Advice
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats, compatible   with   the   deployment   the   lateral  
a

irbags.   For   information   on   the   range   of   seat  
c

overs suitable for your vehicle, you can
contact
  a   CITROËN dealer.
For
  more   information   on   accessories,   refer  
t

o   the   corresponding   section.
Do
  not   fix   or   attach   anything   to   the   seat  
b

acks   (clothing...).   This   could   cause   injury  
t

o   the   chest   or   arms   if   the   lateral   airbag   is  
d

eployed.
Do
  not   sit   with   the   upper   part   of   the   body   any  
n

earer   to   the   door   than   necessary.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This could   cause   injury   to   the   head   if   the   curtain  
a

irbag   is   deployed.
If
  fitted   on   your   vehicle,   do   not   remove   the  
g

rab   handles   installed   on   the   roof,   they   play  
a

  part   in   securing   the   curtain   airbags.
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the safety recommendations below:
