Malfunction
If this warning light comes on in the
instrument panel, you must contact
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system
checked. The air bags may no
longer be deployed in the event of a
serious impact.
Reactivation
When you remove the rear ward facing child
seat, with the ignition off , turn the switch to
the ON position to reactivate the air bag and so
assure the safety of your front passenger in the
event of an impact.
Only the passenger's front air bag can be
deactivated.
F
W
ith the ignition off , insert the key into
the passenger air bag deactivation switch.
F
T
urn it to the "OFF" position.
F
R
emove the key keeping the switch in this
position.
When the ignition is on, this warning
light comes on in the instrument
panel and stays on while the air bag
is deactivated. To assure the safety of your child,
the passenger's front air bag must be
deactivated when you install a "rear ward
facing" child seat on the front passenger
seat. Otherwise, the child risks being
seriously injured or killed if the air bag is
deployed.
The air bags are deployed, except the
passenger's front air bag if it has been
deactivated, in the event of a serious front
impact to all or part of the front impact zone A ,
in the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the front to
the rear of the vehicle.
The front air bag inflates between the thorax
and head of the front occupant of the vehicle
and the steering wheel, driver's side, and the
dashboard, passenger's side, to cushion their
for ward movement.

Advice
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's protection in
the event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle under the child seat, as this could
destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harnesses keeping the slack
relative to the child's body to a minimum,
even for short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened
correctly on the child seat and that it secures
the child seat firmly on the seat of your
vehicle. If your passenger seat is adjustable,
move it for wards if necessary.
At rear seating positions, always leave
sufficient space between the front seat and:
-
a r
ear ward facing child seat,
-
t
he child's feet for a child seat fitted
forward facing.
To do this, move the front seat for wards
and, if necessary, move its backrest into the
upright position.
For optimal installation of the forward-facing
child seat, verify that its backrest is as close
as possible to the backrest of the vehicle seat, or if possible in contact with it.
The head restraint must be removed before
installing a child seat with a backrest on the
passenger seat.
Ensure that the headrest is stowed or
attached securely so that it is not thrown
around the vehicle in the event of sharp
braking. Refit the head restraint once the
child seat has been removed.
Children in front
The legislation on carrying children on the
front passenger seat is specific to each
country. Consult the legislation in force in
your country.
Deactivate the passenger's front airbag
when a rear ward facing child seat is installed
on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child risks being seriously
injured or killed if the airbag is deployed.
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
CITROËN We recommend using a booster
seat with a backrest equipped with a belt
guide at shoulder level. As a safety precaution, do not leave:
-
a c
hild or children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,
-
a c
hild or an animal in a vehicle which
is exposed to the sun, with the windows
closed,
-
t
he keys within reach of children inside
the vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the doors
and rear windows, use the child lock.
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays of
the sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.
