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

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.

  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.

  not   sit   with   the   upper   part   of   the   body   any  
n

earer   to   the   door   than   necessary.
Curtain airbags
