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.

Advice
Sit  in   a   normal   upright   position.
Wear
  a   correctly   adjusted   seat   belt.
Do not allow anything to come between
the occupants and the airbags
(a
  child,   pet,   object...),   do   not   attach   or  
fix

  anything   near   to   the   airbags   or   their  
trajectories

  when   inflating   as   this   could  
cause

  injuries   when   the   airbags   are  
deployed.
Never

  modify   the   original   definition   of  
your vehicle, particularly in the area
directly

  around   the   airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been
  stolen   or   broken   into,   have   the  
airbag

  systems   checked.
All
  work   on   the   airbag   system   must   be  
carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified

  workshop.
Even if all of the precautions
mentioned
  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.Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by
  its   spokes   or   resting   your   hands   on  
the

  centre   part   of   the   wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet
on
  the   dashboard.
Do
  not   smoke   as   deployment   of   the  
airbags

  can   cause   burns   or   the   risk   of  
injury

  from   a   cigarette   or   pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering
wheel
  or   hit   it   violently.
Do
  not   fit   or   attach   anything   to   the  
steering wheel or dashboard, this could
cause

  injuries   with   deployment   of   the  
airbags.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the
seats, compatible with the deployment
the

  lateral   airbags.   For   information  
on the range of seat covers suitable
for your vehicle, you can contact a
CITROËN dealer

.
For more information on accessories,
refer to "Other accessories" in
section 6.
Do
  not   fix   or   attach   anything   to   the   seat  
backs

  (clothing...).  
This
  could   cause  
injury

  to   the   chest   or   arms   if   the   lateral  
airbag

  is   deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.
Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
This
 
equipment
 
only
 
operates
 
once.
 
If a second impact occurs (during the
same or a subsequent accident), the
airbag

 
will
 
not
 
operate.
The deployment of an airbag or airbags
is accompanied by a slight discharge
of
 
smoke
 
and
 
a
 
noise,
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated

 
in
 
the
 
system.
This
 
smoke
 
is
 
not
 
harmful,
 
but
 
sensitive individuals may experience
some

 
irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result
in a slight loss of hearing for a short
time.
The passenger's front airbag must
be deactivated if a child seat is
installed
 
rearward
 
facing.

CHILD SEAT AT THE REAR
Rearward facing
When a rearward facing child seat is
installed on a rear passenger seat,
move the vehicle's front seat forwards
and
  straighten   the   backrest   so   that   the  
rearward facing child seat does not
touch

  the   vehicle's   front   seat.
Forward facing
When a forward facing child seat is
installed on a rear passenger seat,
move the vehicle's front seat forwards
and  straighten   the   backrest   so   that   the  
legs of the child in the forward facing
child seat do not touch the vehicle's
front

  seat.
Ensure that the seat belt is
correctly
  tensioned.
For child seats with a support leg,
ensure
  that   this   is   in   firm   contact   with  
the

  floor. When a child seat is installed on a
passenger seat in row 3, put the
backrests
  of   the   outer   and   centre   seats  
in row 2 forward of the seat occupied
by the child seat, in the table position,
or

  if   this   is   not   sufficient,   rermove   the  
seats in row 2 so that the child seat or
the the legs of the child do not touch
the

  seats   in   row   2.

SEATS WITH A SUPPORT LEG
Care must be taken when installing a child seat with a support leg in
the
  vehicle.   In   particular   you   should  
look

  for   the   presence   of   a   storage  
compartment below the rear seat
footwells.
The centre rear seat does not have
a storage compartment below the
footwell.

 
Y
ou   can   therefore   easily   fit   a  
child seat with a support leg, whether
installed with the ISOFIX mountings or
using

  the   3   point   seat   belt.
Do not place the support leg on
the storage compartment cover;
it
  might   break   in   a   serious   impact.  
Where

  the   adjustments   of   the   support  
leg allow it, we suggest two other
possibilities

  for   installation.
At the bottom of the storage
compartment
If the support leg is long enough, you
can  adjust   it   so   that   it   contact   the  
bottom

  of   the   storage   compartment.  
Remove

  all   objects   from   the   storage  
compartment before installin

g the
support
  leg.
Away from the storage
compartment area
If the support leg is long enough and
can  be   inclined   sufficiently   (always  
by following the recommendations
given in the installation instructions for
the child seat), you can position the
support

  leg   so   that   it   contacts   the   floor  
away

  from   the   storage   compartment.  
Adjust

  the   longitudinal   position   of  
the front or rear seat to obtain a
satisfactory position for the support leg
away

  from   the   storage   compartment.
If you cannot position the support
leg in the way described, you
should

  not   fit   a   child   seat   with  
support

  leg   to   the   seat.
